Security Management Procedures
Security administration involves the identification of an organization's high-value data and the creation, recording, and execution of policies, procedures, and guidelines. Management tools such as data categorization and threat assessment can be used to determine possible threats, categorize valuable data, and rate security vulnerabilities so that effective controls can be implemented.
Security Architecture and Paradigms
This covers the concepts, structures, and guidelines used to design, monitor, and protect operating systems, hardware, infrastructure, and applications plus the controls used to enforce various degrees of availability, consistency, and confidentiality.
Access Management Systems and Methodology
Access management systems are a set of mechanisms that work in unison to create a security infrastructure to protect the assets of the information system.
Applications Development Security
This addresses the important security concepts related to application software development. Application software development security defines the environment where programs are designed and produced and elucidates the vital role application software has in providing information network security.
Secure Operations
Operations security involves determining the management of hardware, media, and the technicians and administrators with access rights to these resources. Audit and tracking are the tools and techniques that permit the identification of security-relevant events and consequent actions to identify the essential elements and report the associated data to the appropriate person, team, or process.
Site Security
Physical security addresses protection techniques for the entire physical facility, from the perimeter to the inside office space, including all of the information system assets.
Cryptography
Data Encryption entails the concepts, means, and methods of cloaking information to preserve its integrity, confidentiality, and authenticity.
Telecommunications, LAN and WAN Security
This area concerns:
Network Structures
Transmission mechanisms
Transport protocols
Security techniques implemented to ensure availability, consistency, and privacy
Verification for transmissions over private and public communications networks and media.
Disaster Recovery Preparedness
This addresses the preservation and restoration of business activity in the event of network disruptions.
Law, Investigation and Ethics
This has to do with:
Computer crime laws
The procedures taken and technologies utilized to solve information system crime incidents
