Franklin downloaded free software that infected his system with malware. After installing the software, Franklin's system rebooted and started malfunctioning. The document discusses computer security risks for home users, including risks from computer attacks like malware infections and accidents that can cause physical damage. It also covers essential computer security topics like threats, vulnerabilities, security elements, and defenses that can help secure systems and information.
The document discusses several topics related to operating system security:
1) It provides statistics showing a rise in Windows 7 infection rates and a drop in Windows XP rates, likely due to more malware attacks.
2) It discusses arguments around Mac security and predicts Macs will become a target once they reach a certain market share, which several countries have now achieved.
3) It outlines guidelines for securing Windows and Mac operating systems, such as using strong passwords, firewalls, and encrypting files.
This document provides an overview of information technology security awareness training at Northern Virginia Community College. It aims to assist faculty and staff in safely using computing systems and data by understanding security threats and taking reasonable steps to prevent them. Everyone who uses a computer is responsible for security. New employees must complete training within 30 days, and refresher training is required annually. Users have personal responsibilities around reporting violations, securing devices and data, and safe email practices. Security violations can result in consequences like data loss, costs, and disciplinary action. Training must be documented and various delivery methods are outlined.
Franklin downloaded free software from a website and installed it, causing his system to reboot and malfunction. This likely occurred because the software was malware that infected Franklin's system. It is important to exercise caution when downloading and installing software from untrusted sources. Home computer users are often vulnerable to attacks because they lack security awareness or do not think they have valuable information worth targeting. Basic security mechanisms and awareness can help protect systems and personal information.
Cyber attacks targeting small businesses are common. This document outlines cybersecurity best practices for small-to-medium sized businesses to protect themselves, including ensuring proper employee training on phishing, maintaining updated software and passwords, using VPNs and HTTPS, avoiding risky networks and software, following incident response plans, and understanding common attack types like phishing, XSS, and botnets. Failure to implement proper security measures could lead to data breaches, network compromise, and the business going out of business within six months.

- Request for personal information without sufficient context or verification
- Urgency implied without reasonable justification
- Links to external sites instead of internal site for account updates
In the future, it's best to be cautious of unsolicited emails requesting personal details or actions, and to directly access accounts through bookmarked or previously used links rather than following links in emails.

Computer viruses have existed since the late 1980s, beginning with the Brain virus created in Pakistan in 1986. Viruses spread primarily through floppy disks in the early years. Over time, viruses increased in sophistication and ability to spread over networks and email. Some notable early viruses include Michelangelo in 1991, which overwrote data on March 6th, and ILOVEYOU in 2000, one of the first major email viruses. Viruses continue to evolve with different transmission methods as technology changes.

Computer Security
Computer Security Goals
Computer security must be viewed in a holistic manner and provide an end-to-end protection
as data moves through its lifecycle. Data originates from a user or sensor, passes over a
network to reach a computing system that hosts software. This computer system has software
and processes the data and stores in in a storage device. That data is backed up on a device
and finally archived. The elements that handle the data need to be secure. Computer security
pertains to all the means to protect the confidentiality, integrity, availability, authenticity,
utility, and possession of data throughout its lifecycle.
Confidentiality: A security principle that
works to ensure that data is not disclosed to
unauthorized persons.
Integrity: A security principle that makes sure
that information and systems are not
modified maliciously or accidentally.
Availability: A security principle that assures
reliable and timely access to data and
resources by authorized individuals.
Authenticity: A security principle that the
data, transactions, communications or
documents are genuine, valid, and not
fraudulent.
Utility: A security principle that addresses
that the information is usable for its intended
purpose. .
Possession: A security principle that works to
ensure that data remains under the control of
the authorized individuals.
Figure 1. Parkerian Hexad (PH) security model.
The Parerian Hexad (PH) model expands on the Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability (CIA)
triad that has been the basic model of Information Security for over 20 years. This framework is

provide the means for information owners to protect their information from any adversaries
and vulnerabilities. It adds Authenticity, Utility, and Possession to CIA triad security model. It
addresses security aspects for data throughout its lifecycle.
The Center for Internet Security has identified 20 controls necessary to protect an organization
from known cyber-attack. The first 5 controls will provide effective defense against the most
common cyber-attacks, approximately 85% of attacks. The 5 controls are:
1. Inventory of Authorized and Devices
2. Inventory of Authorized and Unauthorized Software
3. Secure Configurations for Hardware and Software
