Information Security A Cybersecurity Component Training Ppt

Slide 2

This slide talks about information security. Information security includes the protection of company data as well as the data you obtain from clients, consumers, or vendors.

Slide 3

This slide gives an overview of Information Security Policy. A set of guidelines for using IT assets is known as an Information Security Policy (ISP). 

Slide 4

This slide highlights common information security threats. These are: Unsecure systems, social engineering, social media attacks, lack of encryption, security misconfiguration, and malware or endpoints.

Slide 5

This slide discusses unsecure systems as an information security threat. The rapid advancement of technology frequently causes security precautions to be compromised. In many instances, systems are created without security considerations and continue to function as legacy systems within an enterprise.

Slide 6

This slide discusses how social engineering poses a threat to information security. Attackers use social engineering to lure users into actions that could jeopardize their security or reveal confidential information.

Instructor’s Notes: Technology solutions can also be employed to stop social engineering at its source or to stop people from performing risky actions like clicking on suspicious sites or downloading unknown attachments.

Slide 7

This slide tells us about social media attacks. People who use social media frequently inadvertently disclose personal information about themselves. Attackers can carry out direct cyber attacks using social media, such as spreading malware through social media messaging.

Slide 8

This slide discusses lack of encryption as an information security threat. Data is encrypted through encryption operations, making it accessible only to users with secret keys. It is very effective and efficient in preventing data loss or corruption in case of loss of equipment or theft; it is extremely critical in case attackers compromise organizational systems.

Slide 9

This slide talks about security misconfiguration as an information security threat. Businesses use many technological platforms and tools, particularly web applications, databases, Software as a Service (SaaS) applications, or Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) from providers like Amazon Web Services.

Instructor’s Notes: Another issue is "configuration drift," in which, despite competent IT security employees with good IT knowledge, proper security configuration can quickly go out of date and make a system insecure.

Slide 10

This slide discusses how malware on endpoints can pose a threat to information security. Malware is the main danger to all endpoints since it can be spread through varied channels, compromise the endpoint directly, and escalate privileges to other corporate systems.
