Measures and Access Control

• Hardware security


  A primary purpose is to prevent unauthorized access and data breaches
• Firewalls


  • Can be configured to disallow certain types of traffic by creating specific rules or policies
• Backup storage


  A crucial rule is to store backups offline and in multiple locations
• Data recovery


  Primarily involves restoring lost or corrupted data
• Damage mitigation


  Differs from data recovery as it involves preventing damage while data recovery focuses on restoring lost data
• Access Control List (ACL) or whitelist


  • Helps to filter all incoming network traffic based on predefined rules
• Physical access protection


  Can be implemented by restricting physical access to authorized individuals
• Biometric access measures


  • Provide high accuracy in identification
• Hardware security protection


  Can be implemented by implementing secure login measures
• Firewall configuration


  • Involves treating rules based on protocol, port or IP addresses
• Backup strategy


  Purpose is to ensure data is recoverable in case of loss or corruption
• Backup testing


  • A crucial rule is to confirm the viability of backups for data restoration
• Data recovery following system failure


  Identify the cause of failure
• Access Control List (ACL)


  • Contributes to network security by restricting access based on predefined rules
• Physical access protection


  Essential for safeguarding sensitive premises by restricting access to authorized personnel
• Biometric access measures


  • Enhance security as biometric data is harder to steal or replicate
• Whitelist


  Allows access to specific approved entities on a system
• Hardware security protection


  Contributes to mitigating damage in case of a security breach by limiting damage and preventing further intrusion
• Firewall configuration


  • A critical aspect is restricting access based on predefined rules
• Backup strategy


  Helps in data recovery and damage mitigation as it provides a means to restore data in case of loss or damage
