Security Administration Procedures
Security administration entails the determination of an organization's most important information and the creation, documentation, and carrying out of policies, operations, and guidelines. Management tools such as data categorization and risk analysis can be utilized to identify possible attacks, categorize assets, and rate system weaknesses so that effective controls can be implemented.

Security Infrastructure and Paradigms
This concerns the principles, structures, and standards followed to design, track, and protect OS platforms, hardware, infrastructure, and applications as well as the controls utilized to police different levels of availability, consistency, and privacy.

Access Management Solutions and Methodology
Access management systems are a set of mechanisms that work in unison to create a security infrastructure to guard the assets of the information network.

Software Development Security
This addresses the key security concepts that apply to application software development. Applications development security defines the environment where software is planned and produced and elucidates the vital role software has in ensuring information network security.

Secure Operations
Operations security has to do with identifying the management of hardware, data storage, and the operators and administrators with access rights to any of these resources. Audit and tracking are the mechanisms and facilities that permit the awareness of security-relevant events and consequent efforts to discover the key factors and convey the pertinent data to the designated person, team, or mechanism.

Site Security
Physical security addresses protection techniques for the entire physical facility, from the perimeter to the inside office space, including all of the information network assets.

Cryptography
Data Encryption covers the concepts, means, and processes of disguising information to preserve its consistency, confidentiality, and authenticity.

Telecommunications, LAN and WAN Security
This area concerns:

• Network Infrastructure
• Transmission methods
• Transport formats
• Security measures used to ensure reliability, consistency, and privacy
• Validation for traffic over private and public networks and media.

Disaster Recovery Planning
This addresses the protection and restoration of business activity in the event of network disruptions.
