Summary

In this chapter, we spent some (hopefully useful) time understanding the basics of cybersecurity. We had a walk-through of ISO 27001 and 27002, then we discussed the definition of the CIA triad, alongside the definition of confidentiality, integrity, and availability, using some examples to better understand these concepts. Then, we had a look at information security concepts and definitions. We had a glance at governance, policies, and incident management. Then, we moved on to the NIST CSF and how ISO 27001 and NIST can be used at once.

In the next chapter, we will talk about ISMS, commitment, project management, context, scope policy, and objectives. We will look at how to identify, protect, detect, respond, and recover and ponder the question can ISO27001nd NIST coexist?
