Creates and continuously refines a robust security strategy aimed at anticipating, identifying, and mitigating the impact of security threats on the organization or its solutions, thereby minimizing vulnerabilities and safeguarding business performance. Security management is commonly built around the “CIA triad,” encompassing the following essential areas:
- Confidentiality: Protecting sensitive data from unauthorized access, ensuring that only approved users and processes can view or modify information. This depends on defining and enforcing strict access controls, often by grouping data based on access needs and sensitivity to mitigate potential damage from breaches. Key confidentiality measures include access control lists, encryption, and file permissions.
- Integrity: Ensuring the accuracy and reliability of data by preventing unauthorized or accidental modifications. Data integrity is maintained by protecting information from deletion or tampering and allowing for corrections if authorized changes are mistakenly made.
- Availability: Guaranteeing that data is accessible to authorized users whenever needed, supported by secure authentication mechanisms, stable access channels, and reliable systems. High-availability systems are designed to handle potential disruptions, such as hardware failures, power outages, and network issues, to ensure consistent access.
