Fundamentals
What are we trying to protect: It's all about the Data
- Confidentiality: Only those who should have access can get access.
- Integrity: The data is what it should be. The data has truth.
- Availability: Data is available to those with rights, when they need to access it.
Who are we trying to protect the data from? Threat Actors:
- Cybercriminals: motivated by money
- Nationstates: motivated by loyalty to country
- Terrorist Organizations: motivated by destruction
- Hacktivists: motivated by a moral cause
- Insiders: motivated by stupidity (i.e perhaps ignorance would be better),
