    “Cybersecurity refers to a set of
    techniques used to protect the
    integrity of networks, programs
    and data from attack, damage or
    unauthorized access.”

    What is Cybersecurity?
    Security in a nutshell

    Computer Security Network Security Internetwork Security


    Generic name for the collection Measures to protect data during Measures to protect data during
    of tools designed to protect data their transmission their transmission over a
    and to prevent hackers collection of interconnected
    For distributed systems and the networks
    For shared systems such as time- use of networks and
    sharing systems, systems communications facilities for For a collection of
    accessed over a public telephone carrying data between terminal interconnected networks such as
    network user and computer and between an Internet
    computer and computer

    What is a “secure” computer
    system?

    To decide whether a computer system is


    “secure”, you must first decide what
    “secure” means to you, then identify the
    threats you care about.

    5
    Why study cybersecurity?
    Our network connectivity is only growing.
    Job opportunities are projected to grow substantially
    Specialties within cyber security are increasing
    This job can be hard to outsource
    You get to be a hero sometimes
    You have multiple viable educational paths
    It’s a career of consistent change
    You get to solve complex technical puzzles

    Basic Components of Cybersecurity

    Confidentiality is the protection of Confidentiality: Who is authorized to


    personal information. Confidentiality use data?
    means keeping a client’s information
    between you and the client, and not Integrity: Is data good?
    telling others including co-workers, Availability: Can access data whenever
    friends, family, etc. need it?
    Integrity, in the context of computer
    systems, refers to methods of ensuring
    that data is real, accurate and
    safeguarded from unauthorized user
    modification.
    Availability, in the context of a
    computer system, refers to the ability
    of a user to access information or
    resources in a specified location and in
    the correct format.

    Principles of Security

    • Security is a process, not a product


    //meaning, CCTV doesn’t mean you’re secured. A security is always a process

    • Computer Security is not just about computer systems


    • Security and convenience are inversely proportional
    //The higher the security the inconvenient it gets
    • Security succeeds or fails based on the weakest link
    // No matter how secure your defense is, if there’s a person who has the will to do a crime it will happen.
    • Hackers are generally technologists (as opposed to programmers, they build system)
    • Utilize Multiple Layers of Defense
    //Don’t focus on one layer of security, depends on level
    • Focus your security energy on dealing with the most likely threat
    • One aspect of security is obscurity
