6.0 Security
6.1 Identify the fundamental principles of security
Identify names, purposes and characteristics of hardware and software security for example:
Hardware deconstruction / recycling
Smart cards / biometrics (e.g. key fobs, cards, chips and scans)
Authentication technologies (e.g. user name, password, biometrics, smart cards)
Malicious software protection (e.g. viruses, Trojans, worms, spam, spyware, adware, grayware)
Software firewalls
File system security (e.g. FAT32 and NTFS)
Identify names, purposes and characteristics of wireless security for example:
Wireless encryption (e.g. WEP.x and WPA.x) and client configuration
Access points (e.g. disable DHCP / use static IP, change SSID from default, disable SSID broadcast, MAC filtering, change default username and password, update firmware, firewall)
Identify names, purposes and characteristics of data and physical security
Data access (basic local security policy)
Encryption technologies
Backups
Data migration
Data / remnant removal
Password management
Locking workstation (e.g. hardware, operating system)
Describe importance and process of incidence reporting
Recognize and respond appropriately to social engineering situations
6.2 Install, configure, upgrade and optimize security
Install, configure, upgrade and optimize hardware, software and data security for example:
BIOS
Smart cards
Authentication technologies
Malicious software protection
Data access (basic local security policy)
Backup procedures and access to backups
Data migration
Data / remnant removal
6.3 Identify tool, diagnostic procedures and troubleshooting techniques for security
Diagnose and troubleshoot hardware, software and data security issues for example:
BIOS
Smart cards, biometrics
Authentication technologies
Malicious software
File system (e.g. FAT32, NTFS)
Data access (e.g. basic local security policy)
Backup
Data migration
6.4 Perform preventive maintenance for computer security
Implement software security preventive maintenance techniques such as installing service packs and patches and training users about malicious software prevention technologies
