Mitigar Amenazas: Evaluación de Vulnerabilidades y Seguridad

Mitigar Amenazas (Threat Mitigation)

Vulnerability Assessment

• Identifies vulnerabilities in systems, networks, and applications
• Types:
  • Network-based: scans for open ports, services, and OS detection
  • Host-based: examines system configuration, file system, and registry
  • Application-based: analyzes software and web apps for weaknesses
• Goals:
  • Identify vulnerabilities and prioritize remediation efforts
  • Reduce attack surface and prevent exploitation

Risk Management

• Process of identifying, assessing, and mitigating risks
• Steps:
  1. Risk identification: identify potential threats and vulnerabilities
  2. Risk assessment: evaluate likelihood and impact of identified risks
  3. Risk mitigation: implement controls to reduce risk
  4. Risk monitoring: continuously monitor and review risk posture
• Goals:
  • Reduce risk exposure and potential impact
  • Ensure business continuity and minimize downtime

Cybersecurity

• Practices and technologies to protect digital assets from cyber threats
• Focus areas:
  • Network security: firewalls, VPNs, access control
  • Endpoint security: antivirus, intrusion detection, encryption
  • Data security: backup, encryption, access control
• Goals:
  • Protect sensitive data and systems from unauthorized access
  • Ensure confidentiality, integrity, and availability of digital assets

Incident Response

• Plan and procedures to respond to security incidents
• Steps:
  1. Detection and reporting: identify and report security incidents
  2. Containment: isolate affected systems and prevent further damage
  3. Eradication: remove root cause of incident and implement fixes
  4. Recovery: restore systems and data to normal operation
  5. Post-incident activities: review and improve incident response plan
• Goals:
  • Minimize incident impact and downtime
  • Ensure prompt and effective response to security incidents

Compliance Regulations

• Laws, regulations, and standards governing data security and privacy
• Examples:
  • GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation)
  • HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act)
  • PCI-DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard)
• Goals:
  • Ensure compliance with relevant regulations and standards
  • Avoid penalties, fines, and reputational damage
