Current Threat And Vulnerabilities - Know Yourself Part 1

Explore the principles of anonymity, privacy, and security and how they apply in real-world contexts; learn to assess and monitor security controls to reduce risks and understand contradictions.

Identify what you value most and optimize security investments by setting objectives to protect assets, applying proportionate measures to safeguard personal, organizational, and service data.

Explore the CIA triad—confidentiality, integrity, availability—and extended attributes like authenticity and utility, plus how authentication, authorization, and non-repudiation protect assets through security controls.

Defense in depth explains three layers—prevent, detect, and recover—using encryption with a key and backups to protect data and assets from threats.

Apply a zero trust approach to reduce risk by not trusting networks or services and encrypt data before cloud uploads, using encryption keys and security controls to protect assets.
