Study Notes

(ISC)² Common Body of Knowledge

  • Access Control Systems and Methodology: Protects resources from unauthorized access, using authentication methods like passwords, two-factor authentication, biometrics, and single sign-on (SSO).
  • Telecommunications and Network Security: Focuses on communication security, protocols, and network services, addressing vulnerabilities like perimeter security, extranet access, and Internet-based attacks.
  • Business Continuity Planning and Disaster Recovery: Plans for system failures, natural disasters, and service disruptions, including backup testing, off-site storage, and ensuring critical services remain available after a disaster.
  • Security Management Practices: Emphasizes security awareness, risk assessment, educating IT staff and users, and organized security teams for efficient crisis response.
  • Security Architecture and Models: Involves policy planning for security issues like desktop security, data backups, and antivirus solutions.
  • Law, Investigation, and Ethics: Covers aspects of security's legal framework, including legal proceedings, evidence handling, employee surveillance, and privacy laws.
  • Application and Systems Development Security: Focuses on security in software development, considering permission handling, integrity checks, and preventing insider threats like spyware.
  • Cryptography: Covers encryption types to secure data, and key management in Public Key Infrastructure (PKI).
  • Computer Operations Security: Seeks to protect ongoing computer operations against threats like malicious code and denial-of-service attacks.
  • Physical Security: Ensures physical access to crucial resources like servers and workstations is secured, using mechanisms like locked doors and access logging.

ISO 27000 Series

  • Security Standards and Digital Curation: Digital information's flexibility requires strong protection against unauthorized access or changes. Information Security Management Systems (ISMS) ensure confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
  • ISO/IEC 27000 Series: Defines ISMS implementation, with core documents like ISO/IEC 27001 and 27002 outlining requirements and implementation guidance based on the PDCA model.
  • Functionality: ISO 27001 mandates risk management and includes more than 130 security controls; ISO 27002 offers practical guidance.
  • Benefits: Certification enhances security, compliance, data protection, and business continuity.

Information Security Frameworks and Standards

  • ISO 27000: Uses a "plan, do, check, act" cycle for risk assessment and control implementation.
  • NIST: Similar to ISO 27000, including phases like identify, protect, detect, respond, recover.
  • Common Criteria: Focuses on hardware and software security, assessing consumer confidence without specifying controls. Applicable only to security products.
  • Common Body of Knowledge: Covers risk management, identity, and access control in information security.
