Study Notes
Security Concepts and Goals
- Security encompasses people, processes, and technology to effectively protect information assets.
- Cybersecurity aims to create environments resilient against threats and attacks.
Subjects and Objects of Security
- Subjects: Entities accessing information (e.g., employees, systems).
- Objects: Information or systems being protected.
Security Tactics for People
- Employees are critical to cybersecurity; informed staff can act as a defense line.
- Cybercriminals often target employees via phishing attacks to exploit their lack of security knowledge.
- Regular training is essential to raise awareness and develop a culture of cybersecurity.
- Key training points include:
- Creating strong, unique passwords for each account.
- Keeping personal and work passwords separate.
- Avoiding links in suspicious emails.
- Regularly updating applications and operating systems.
- Refraining from installing unknown software.
- Reporting unusual system behavior promptly.
Security Tactics for Processes
- Cyber-incident response plans are vital for proactive cybersecurity management.
- Effective incident response ensures swift recovery and minimal business disruption.
- Regularly testing data backups enhances data recovery chances during cyber incidents.
- Continuous threat research informs security strategies and tools to mitigate risks.
- Prioritizing assets is essential due to the cybersecurity skills gap and complex networks.
- Implementing network segmentation and access control policies enhances data security.
Security Tactics for Technology
- Integrating security technologies creates a cohesive defense strategy rather than isolated point solutions.
- Deception technology leverages network complexity to mislead adversaries.
- Confidentiality ensures sensitive information remains protected from unauthorized access.
- Auditing security activities provides logs of both successful and unsuccessful access attempts.
IT Security Frameworks
-
NIST Cybersecurity Framework:
- Comprises a set of activities and desired outcomes.
- Features implementation tiers and profiles for improving cybersecurity.
-
ISO/IEC 27000 Series:
- A systematic approach to managing sensitive information through an Information Security Management System (ISMS).
- Involves defining security policies, conducting risk assessments, and managing identified risks.
-
Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS):
- Aims to secure card payment processes and reduce fraud.
- Principles include securing networks, protecting card data, and implementing strong access control.
Security Architecture
-
Defined as a comprehensive security design addressing potential risks and outlining security controls.
-
Key attributes include:
- Relationships and dependencies among IT architecture components.
- Cost-effectiveness due to standardized security controls.
- Variations in form, including control catalogs and relationship diagrams.
-
Key Phases in Security Architecture Process:
- Architecture Risk Assessment: Evaluates risks associated with vital business assets.
- Security Architecture and Design: Focuses on implementing security services aligned with business risk exposure.
- Implementation: Involves operationalizing security services and processes.
- Operations and Monitoring: Encompasses daily security operations, including threat management and ongoing monitoring.
