Description
Part I - Asset Security
Information, of course, exists in context; it is acquired or created at a particular point in time through a specific process and (usually) for a purpose. It moves through an organization's information systems, sometimes adding value to processes and sometimes waiting to be useful. Eventually, the information outlives its utility and must be disposed of appropriately. Asset protection forms the baseline for security. Unintended disclosure, unauthorized modification, or destruction of an asset can affect security. In other words, confidentiality, integrity, and/or availability requirements will be affected. This course focuses on protecting information assets. Information is the worthiest asset to an organization. The information's value, determines the level of protection required by the organization. Asset security is one of most important the aspects. A data classification scheme helps an organization assign a value to its information assets based on its sensitivity to loss or disclosure and its criticality to the organization's mission or purpose. An organization's employees need to understand the classification schema being used and proper destruction or disposal procedures. We start off our discussion of asset security by examining an information life-cycle model that applies to most organizations, as well as specific examples. We will then cover the evaluation, use, maintenance, and destruction of the information in the context of its life cycle. This all sets the stage for a discussion of the various organizational roles that deal with information assets, as well as the need for effective retention policies. Finally, we discuss specific threats to information and what controls can be helpful in mitigating the risks of data loss.
Part II - Security Engineering
Security engineering requires cross-disciplinary expertise, ranging from cryptography and computer security through hardware tamper-resistance to a knowledge of economics, applied psychology, organizations and the law. System engineering skills, from business process analysis through software engineering to evaluation and testing, are also important; but they are not sufficient, as they deal only with error and mischance rather than malice. The security engineer also needs some skill at adversarial thinking, just like a chess player; you need to have studied lots of attacks that worked in the past, from their openings through their development to the outcomes.
This course covers security engineering from the ground up. It then goes into how systems are evaluated and rated by governments and other agencies, and what these ratings actually mean. We spend a good amount of time discussing cryptology, because it underlies most of our security controls. Finally, after covering how to keep our adversaries from virtually touching our systems, we also cover how to keep them from physically reaching them as well. However, before we dive into these concepts, it is important to understand what we mean by system-based architectures and the components that make them up.
