CISSP in 21 Days

Chapter 2.  Day 2 – Security and Risk Management - Risk Management, Business Continuity, and Security Education

This chapter gives an overview of risk management, business continuity, and security education using a high-level illustration. Understanding and applying risk management concepts, threat modeling, and establishing business continuity requirements are some of the main topics covered in this chapter. A brief overview of integrating security risk considerations into information systems' acquisition, strategy, and practice are covered. Establishing and managing information security education, training, and awareness programs and recommendation of best practices are provided towards the end of the chapter.

Overview of risk management, business continuity, and security education

Asset protection forms the baseline for security. Unintended disclosure, unauthorized modification, or destruction of an asset can affect security.

Observe the following illustration:

Overview of risk management, business continuity, and security education

Fig 1

  • Risk is to assets from threat sources.
  • The asset requires protection from attacks.
  • Protection is based on the value of the assets. The value can be based on monetary value, anticipated loss due to customer dissatisfaction, damage to corporate image, or all of the above.
  • Risk management is to identify, assess, control, and mitigate risks.
  • Risk management consists of monitoring, reviewing, communicating, and improving mechanisms.
  • Risks that compromise the availability of assets and resources are treated through Business Continuity Plans (BCP).
  • Security education is an integral part of risk management.

These concepts are covered in detail in the rest of this chapter.

Risk management

Risk is defined as an exposure to loss, injury, or damage due to threats, vulnerabilities, and attacks. Risk management is to manage the risks.

Identifying threats and vulnerabilities, attacks, estimating potential impact, and establishing and implementing suitable controls to treat the risk are functional steps in risk management. Monitoring, reviewing, communicating the results, and improving the security posture are continual improvement processes in the risk management cycle.

Note

Security posture is an overall plan of the organization pertaining to security. It includes security governance, policies, procedures, and compliance.

Observe the following illustration, which is a typical web application network infrastructure consisting of the N-tier architecture:

In the preceding architecture, various assets are involved in the business process of accessing, updating, or modifying the information. For example, an employee (people asset) accesses a web application (information...

Security risk considerations in acquisitions, strategy, and practice

Information systems include various components, such as operating systems and application software, which may be off-the-shelf products or custom developed applications, database management systems, infrastructure, and so on. During development and/or implementation, security risks should be considered based on security requirements. Some such requirements are listed here:

  • Security requirements analysis and specifications
  • Security risks in the processing of data
  • Need for cryptographic controls
  • Risks in system operations
  • Risks in development and support processes
  • Technical vulnerability management
  • Risks in outsourced software development

Note

Note that detailed information and best practices are provided in various chapters throughout this book.

Information security education, training, and awareness

The information security domain consists of many concepts and definitions. Besides, information security initiatives in an organization will have many policies, procedures, as well as technology components. In order to have an effective security posture within the organization, it is important that people or personnel are aware of security requirements, organization-specific security policies and procedures, and most importantly, particular personnel-specific roles and responsibilities pertaining to security.

Security awareness and training is one of the core components of the risk management program in any organization. The objective is to ensure that the personnel are aware of the security requirements and are trained to handle day-to-day security events.

National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) publication 800-14 - Generally Accepted Principles and Practices for Securing Information Technology Systems, recommends...

Description

Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) is an internationally recognized and coveted qualification. Success in this respected exam opens the door to your dream job as a security expert with an eye-catching salary. But passing the final exam is challenging. Every year a lot of candidates do not prepare sufficiently for the examination, and fail at the final stage. This happens when they cover everything but do not revise properly and hence lack confidence. This simple yet informative book will take you through the final weeks before the exam with a day-by-day plan covering all of the exam topics. It will build your confidence and enable you to crack the Gold Standard exam, knowing that you have done all you can to prepare for the big day. This book provides concise explanations of important concepts in all 10 domains of the CISSP Common Body of Knowledge (CBK). Starting with Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability, you will focus on classifying information and supporting assets. You will understand data handling requirements for sensitive information before gradually moving on to using secure design principles while implementing and managing engineering processes. You will understand the application of cryptography in communication security and prevent or mitigate strategies for network attacks. You will also learn security control requirements and how to assess their effectiveness. Finally, you will explore advanced topics such as automated and manual test result analysis and reporting methods. A complete mock test is included at the end to evaluate whether you're ready for the exam. This book is not a replacement for full study guides; instead, it builds on and reemphasizes concepts learned from them.

Who is this book for?

If you are a Networking professional aspiring to take the CISSP examination and obtain the coveted CISSP certification (considered to be the Gold Standard in Information Security personal certification), then this is the book you want.

This book is a brief overview of everything that may appear on the exam, with brief explanations.Pros:Quickly run through, marking unfamiliar subjects to use other study products for.Cons:Uses acronyms way too much. I counted about 34 times IP was used in different context outside of Internet Protocol.There are NO answers to the "sample" questions given at the end of each chapter, nor the mock exam.The "Full Blown Mock Test" that is verbatim on the back of the book, is only 178 questions... not even close to the actual CISSP.This book was suppose to be written in 2016. In the preface, it claims to go over the 8 domains covered. On the back of the book refers to the 10 domains covered. In 2015 the exam switched to 8 domains. Who doesn't check for this. I would of been fine if at LEAST the questions had answers, but this is ridiculous, and clearly this was a rushed out book with minimal updates to the current exam, which by current, is over a year old.

What is custom duty/charge? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

  • If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
  • Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.
