Explore internal versus external violations, including insider abuse of permissions, contractors bypassing nondisclosure agreements, tailgating, and social engineering that yields stolen passwords and network intrusions.
Monitor audit logs, including the Microsoft Event Viewer security log, to track applications, processes, networking, and firewall activity, and assess access successes and failures for misconfigurations and information leakage.
Maintain a strict chain of custody for electronic evidence from collection to court, documenting storage, transfer, and custodians; use tamper-evident seals and logs to prove no alteration.
Explore legal issues, computer crime laws and regulations, and incident response to crime as part of advanced security practitioner topics.
Examine administrative law and how government regulatory agencies set minimum security standards across businesses, with violations pursued in administrative law courts and potential criminal penalties, as seen in Enron.
Audits verify compliance with evolving laws and regulations, making it a top management priority to avoid fines; security and legal teams must collaborate to protect information and meet legal requirements.
Conduct internal audits under management to review processes, logs, and transactions for compliance. External auditors provide unbiased oversight to verify compliance and uncover security vulnerabilities.
Discover how to identify, protect, and preserve evidence throughout its life cycle, then record, collect, and transport it to secure facilities or court, and finally present and return it.
Achieve clarity by simplifying ideas and knowing your audience across cultures; minimize slang and jargon to overcome language barriers in instructional settings.
In this part of the CompTIA advanced security practitioner course, apply Occam's razor to break down complex problems by defining the problem clearly and favoring the simplest explanation.
Identify the root of a problem by applying Ockham's Razor to simplify complexity, ask probing questions, clarify perceptions, and analyze hidden expectations.
Develop judgment to make sound decisions by analyzing problems with analytical and creative thinking, using fishbone diagrams, cost-benefit analysis, decision trees, and the ease and effect matrix.
Analyze problems by defining and analyzing the issue, then gather and interpret data with matrices and charts. Identify multiple cost-effective solutions and compare to choose the best.
Identify barriers to creative thinking, such as restricted thinking from past experience, assumptions about what's possible, and reflexive judgments that dismiss ideas or insist on one right answer.
Use the fishbone (cause-and-effect) diagram to analyze a defined problem and generate ideas for solutions, organizing issues such as machine, nonstandard software, format incompatibilities, storyboards, and poor training.
Explore how a histogram, a kind of chart, reveals patterns in data. See test scores from 75 to 85, 10 times, with some results pointing to the solution.
Explore how a decision tree visually maps alternatives and their strengths and weaknesses, guiding investment decisions such as capacity expansion with a systematic evaluation approach.
Lesson 13 review focuses on methods for developing critical thinking, identifying the root of problems, and using that insight to make sound judgments and decisions.
