      Security administration involves the determination of an organization's high-value data and the development, recording, and carrying out of policies, procedures, and guidelines. Management tools such as information classification and risk assessment can be used to identify potential threats, categorize assets, and evaluate system vulnerabilities so that effective controls can be implemented.

    • Security Infrastructure and Paradigms
      This concerns the principles, framework, and standards followed to design, track, and protect OS platforms, equipment, networks, and applications as well as the tools used to police various levels of robustness, consistency, and confidentiality.

    • Access Control Solutions and Processes
      Access controls are a set of mechanisms that operate in unison to build a security infrastructure to guard the assets of the IT system.

    • Applications Development Security
      This addresses the important security principles related to application software development. Applications development security outlines the circumstances where programs are planned and developed and explains the critical role application software has in providing IT system security.

    • Secure Operations
      Operations security concerns identifying the controls over equipment, media, and the technicians and administrators with access rights to any of these assets. Audit and tracking are the mechanisms and techniques that permit the awareness of security-relevant events and subsequent actions to identify the essential factors and report the pertinent data to the appropriate person, group, or mechanism.

    • Physical Security
      Physical security provides security mechanisms for the whole facility, from the outside perimeter to the inside office space, including all of the IT network assets.

    • Cryptography
      Data Encryption involves the principles, techniques, and methods of disguising information to preserve its consistency, confidentiality, and legitimacy.

    • Telecommunications, LAN and WAN Security
      This area involves:
      • Network Structures
      • Transmission mechanisms
      • Transport protocols
      • Security techniques used to provide availability, consistency, and privacy
      • Authentication for transmissions over private and public communications networks and media.

    • Business Continuity Preparedness
      The Business Continuity Plan addresses the preservation and restoration of commercial operations after network disruptions.

    • Crime Law, Investigation and Ethics
      This has to do with:
