Study Notes
Confidentiality
- Ensuring the correct information is in use
- Data integrity: preventing unauthorized changes to data
- Example: if another student hacked into eConestoga and changed your grades
Integrity
- The ability to access a computer resource
- Importance of access varies depending on the domain (e.g., library resource, hospital system)
- Consequences of unavailable resources: impact on security
- Example: if eConestoga was taken down in an apparent DDOS attack and you had an assignment due
Availability
- Effort can be divided into two areas: prevention and detection
- Prevention: stopping security breaches before they occur (e.g., username/password)
- Detection: alerting once a breach has occurred (e.g., burglar alarm)
- Safeguards: backups, network monitoring tools, and redundant pairs
CIA (Confidentiality, Integrity, Availability)
- Heavily dependent on domain requirements
- Balance between prevention and detection is crucial
- Security is a vast topic that goes beyond computer systems to include users and environment
- Many principles guide decision-making, with no one correct answer
- CIA provides a guide to what to protect and prioritize
Future of Computing and Security
- The Internet and computing have expanded greatly since their humble beginnings
- Current trend: smart devices (e.g., smart phones, cars, watches, homes)
- Foreseeing the future of computing/internet: next 5-10 years
- Potential security issues: various areas to consider and prepare for
