Utility - how useful the data is to us
⫸ Attack Types - Interception

⫸ Threat - something that has potential to cause harm
⫸ Vulnerability - weaknesses that can be used to harm us

⫸ Risk management process - 1. Identify Asset - identifying and
categorizing assets that we're protecting
2. Identify Threats - identify threats
3. Assess Vulnerabilities - look for impacts
4. Assess Risk - asses the risk overall
5. Mitigate Risk - ensure that a given type of threat is accounted for
⫸ Incident response process - Preparation Detection and Analysis
Identification
Containment
Eradication Recovery
Post - incident activity
⫸ Preparation - the activities that we can perform , in advance of the
