FIRST PRINCIPLES OF CYBERSECURITY
MINIMIZATION Minimization s goal is to simplify and decrease the number of ways the software can be exploited.
SIMPLICITY If something is less complicated, it s less likely to have problems and easier to troubleshoot and fix.
ABSTRACTION A fancy word for summarizing or explaining in a way that can be easily understood.
INFORMATION HIDING Any attempt to prevent people from being able to see information.
LEAST PRIVILEGE Limits what access people have to your resources and what they can do with them.
MODULARITY Able to be inserted or removed from a project; each module has its own function, interchangeable with other modules.
LAYERING Multiple layers of defense protect information. If one layer is defeated, the next layer should catch it.
RESOURCE ENCAPSULATION Resources hardware, system objects, or processes must be separated and used as intended.
PROCESS ISOLATION A process occurs when a task is executed. Keeping processes separate prevents the failure of one process from negatively impacting another.
DOMAIN SEPARATION Separating areas where resources are located prevents accidents and loss of data, keeping information worlds from colliding.
