Assignment: Cybersecurity
Cybersecurity principles of IT focus on a set of practices intended to keep a corporate infrastructure secure. These practices include, but are not limited to, system, data, internal, external, and physical security. The principles are designed to prevent unauthorized access or alterations of a corporate environment. By understanding how cybersecurity principles are defined, they can then be used to develop a comprehensive, corporate-specific security policy.
Using the format of your choice, create a chart that defines the principles of cybersecurity listed below:
1) Separation (of domains/duties)
2) Isolation
3) Encapsulation
4) Modularity
5) Simplicity of Design (economy of mechanism)
6) Minimization of implementation (least common mechanism)
7) Open Design
8) Complete Mediation
9) Layering (defense in depth)
10) Least Privilege
11) Fail-Safe Defaults (open/secure)
12) Least Astonishment (psychological acceptability)
13) Minimize Trust Surface (reluctance to trust)
14) Usability
15) Trust Relationships
For each of the principles listed, include the following:
1) Definition of the cybersecurity principle (1-2 sentences written in your own words).
2) Description for why each principle is important to security and how it enables the development of security mechanisms to implement desired security policies.
3) Include an in-text citation for each principle listed.
