Study Notes
SecureBank's Information Security Principles
- SecureBank prioritizes information security to protect customer assets, build trust, and meet regulations.
- Achieving absolute security is impossible; continuous improvement and adapting to emerging threats are crucial.
- Confidentiality, integrity, and availability are core security goals. Customer data protection, data accuracy, and 24/7 service access are prioritized.
- Defence-in-depth is employed with multiple security layers (firewalls, intrusion detection systems, access controls).
- Employee education and training are vital to reduce human error in security practices.
- Computer security needs both functional and assurance requirements, ensuring practicality and effectiveness.
- Security through obscurity is ineffective; SecureBank relies on established standards & practices. Transparent security measures build trust.
- Security is risk management; regular risk assessments identify, evaluate, and mitigate potential risks.
- Preventative (firewalls, encryption), detective (intrusion detection), and responsive (incident response) controls are integrated.
- Security complexity is minimized. Overly complex security mechanisms introduce vulnerabilities.
- Misleading tactics are avoided; SecureBank uses factual and transparent communication to build trust.
- Comprehensive security involves people (employees), processes, and technology.
- Responsible vulnerability disclosure is encouraged through cooperation with security researchers. This allows for quick identification and resolution of weaknesses.
