Ever wondered how a data breach could impact cloud security, or what measures you need to take to secure sensitive information? Join us in this episode of the CISSP Cyber Training Podcast as we break down the recent AT&T data breach and its implications on cloud environments like AWS and Snowflake. Discover how attackers gained access to critical phone records and network topology, and why staying up-to-date with cloud security is more critical than ever.
We also cover the intricacies of multi-level database security and concurrency fundamentals. Learn why separating data with varied classification levels—like top secret and secret—is essential for preventing unauthorized access and ensuring data integrity. We dive into the challenges of non-greenfield environments, offering practical migration and separation strategies. We also shed light on the benefits of NoSQL databases and how they compare to traditional SQL systems, focusing on their advantages for faster queries and simpler design.
Finally, we turn our attention to best practices for data management and risk mitigation. Explore the three major classes of NoSQL databases: key-value stores, document stores, and graph databases, and understand their unique advantages. We'll guide you through setting up robust logging and monitoring systems, and stress the importance of tamper-proofing logs and defining retention periods. Additionally, we discuss the vital role of stakeholder involvement in risk management and provide actionable strategies for identifying critical assets and mitigating risks effectively. Plus, learn how your participation in our cyber training supports the philanthropic mission of the Adoptus Foundation, helping families afford adoption.
