1. Managing risk
1.1. * risk Identification/ Assessment
1.2. * Nessus program:The popular vulnerability assessment tools
1.3. Threat assessment:define the threats that are applicable to your particular infrastructure
1.3.1. 1- Adversarial 2-Accidental 3-Structural 4-Environmental
1.4. * Risk response * Mitigation is effort to reduce impact of risk * Risk transference * Risk acceptance * Risk Avoidance
1.5. * NIST Risk management Framework Special Publications
1.6. * ISACA Risk IT Framework
2. The CIA of security
2.1. The goal of security is protect CIA :
2.2. • Confidentiality. A system’s ability to ensure that only the correct, authorized user/system/resource can view, access, change, or otherwise use data.
2.3. • Integrity. A system’s ability to ensure that the system and information is accurate and correct.
2.4. • Availability. A system’s ability to ensure that systems, information, and service
3. What is Risk ?
3.1. * Assets : are any part of our infrastructure that we are worried about getting harmed
3.2. * Vulnerabilities:weaknesses that allows an asset to be explained
3.3. * * Threats : discovered action that exploits a vulnerability potential to do harm to an asset
3.4. Threat agent initiated a threat
3.5. Likelihood:defines the level of security that something will happen
3.6. * Quantitative likelihood - * Impact : is the harm caused by threat * Threat -> vulnerability = Risk
4. * Security Control Functions
4.1. * 1 - Deterrent :deters the actor from attempting the threat * 2-Preventative :deters the actor from performing the threat * 3-Detective :recognizes an actor's threat * 4-Corrective :mitigates the impact of a manifested * 5-Compensating :provides alternative fixes to any of the above functions
5. security Controls :
5.1. * Administrative Control control actions towards IT security
5.1.1. * 1-Laws * 2-Policies * 3-Guidelines * 4-Best practices
5.2. * Technical Control control actions IT systems towards IT security
5.2.1. * 1-Computer stuff * 2- Firewas * 3-Password links * 4-Authentication
6. Threat Actors
6.1. * threat actors : people and organizations that actually do the types of attacks
6.2. Attributes of threat actors : internal-external
6.3. * The types of threat actors:
6.3.1. 1- skript kiddies: trivial attack knowledge 2- Hacktivist : intent is motivation 3-Organized Crime :motivation is money 4-Nation states/advanced persistent threat (APT) :Motivation is intelligence
