Study Notes
Module 6: Risk Management
- Risk management is the process of minimizing or mitigating risk. It involves identifying, evaluating risk, and using resources to monitor and minimize it.
- Prioritize risks based on potential loss and likelihood of occurrence.
- Risk management involves four steps: assessment, evaluation/management, and impact measurement.
- Risk sources can be internal or external. External sources are uncontrollable (e.g., weather), while internal sources are controllable.
- Various organizations have risk management principles outlined by the International Standardization Organization (ISO) and the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK). The PMBOK has 10 principles.
- Risk management considerations include organizational context, stakeholder involvement, organizational objectives, reporting, roles, responsibilities, support structure, early warning indicators, review cycle, and supportive culture.
- Continual improvement in risk management strategies is key.
Module 7: Information Security Governance
- Information security governance (GSI) directs and controls information security activities within an organization.
- Similar to IT Governance, it's an evolving organizational governance structure.
- Various models exist with different levels of functionality.
- Policies are high-level plans outlining information security goals.
- Policies must determine what's being protected and why.
- Policies cover hardware, software, access, people, connections, network, and telecommunications. Policies also cover enforcement.
- Security must comply with internal and external laws/regulations, including General Data Protection (GDPR).
- Security and compliance principles should be consistent with business objectives.
- Security must promote a positive network environment, as human behaviour is a crucial factor in security.
