Security frameworks basics (policies, procedures, guidelines) for Tech+
Short answer
Security frameworks basics (policies, procedures, guidelines). Basic security revolves around the CIA Triad: - Confidentiality: Data accessible only to authorized users. Techniques: encryption, access control, network security (firewalls). - Integrity: Data is accurate and unaltered except by authorized processes. Mechanisms: checksums/hashes, digital signatures, strict access controls. - Availability: Information and resources available when needed. Measures: redundancy, backups, DDoS mitigation.

Security frameworks basics (policies, procedures, guidelines). Basic security revolves around the CIA Triad: - Confidentiality: Data accessible only to authorized users. Techniques: encryption, access control, network security (firewalls). - Integrity: Data is accurate and unaltered except by authorized processes. Mechanisms: checksums/hashes, digital signatures, strict access controls. - Availability: Information and resources available when needed. Measures: redundancy, backups, DDoS mitigation. Principle of Least Privilege: Give users minimum access necessary to perform duties. Limits damage if account is compromised. Defense in Depth: Multiple layers of security controls. If one layer fails, others still protect.
