Study Notes

Security And Risk Management

Risk Management: Identify, assess, and mitigate risk to minimize impact on organization
Security Policy: Develop and implement policies, standards, and procedures to ensure security
Threat Modeling: Identify, analyze, and prioritize threats to assets
Risk Assessment: Identify vulnerabilities and potential threats to assets
Business Continuity Planning (BCP): Develop plans to ensure business continuity in the event of a disaster or disruption
Disaster Recovery Planning (DRP): Develop plans to recover from a disaster or disruption

Asset Security

Data Classification: Classify data based on its level of sensitivity and confidentiality
Data Handling: Implement procedures for handling sensitive data
Asset Control: Implement controls to protect assets from unauthorized access or use
Physical Security: Implement physical security measures to protect assets
Hardware and Media Security: Implement security measures for hardware and media

Security Engineering

Security Models: Implement security models (e.g. Bell-LaPadula, Biba, Clark-Wilson)
Cryptography: Implement cryptographic techniques (e.g. encryption, decryption, hashing)
Secure Protocols: Implement secure communication protocols (e.g. SSL/TLS, IPsec)
Secure System Design: Design systems with security in mind
Secure Coding Practices: Implement secure coding practices to prevent vulnerabilities

Communication And Network Security

Network Fundamentals: Understand network protocols, devices, and architectures
Network Security: Implement security measures to protect networks (e.g. firewalls, VPNs)
Communications Security: Implement secure communication protocols (e.g. SSL/TLS)
Wireless Security: Implement security measures for wireless networks

Identity And Access Management

Identity Management: Implement identity management systems (e.g. authentication, authorization, accounting)
Authentication: Implement authentication mechanisms (e.g. passwords, biometrics)
Authorization: Implement authorization mechanisms (e.g. role-based access control)
Access Control: Implement access control mechanisms (e.g. MAC, DAC)
Account Management: Implement account management practices (e.g. provisioning, revocation)
