The document outlines the five pillars of cybersecurity: data protection, identity and access management (IAM), network security, threat detection and incident response, and zero-trust cloud network security. Each pillar emphasizes the importance of safeguarding sensitive information, managing user access, securing networks, detecting threats, and continuously verifying access in a zero-trust model. These concepts are critical for ensuring comprehensive cybersecurity measures are in place to protect against unauthorized access and cyberattacks.

Data protection safeguards sensitive
information through encryption, access
controls, and proper data classification.
This pillar ensures that data remains
confidential and protected from
unauthorized access or breaches.

3. IDENTITY AND
ACCESS MANAGEMENT

IAM manages user authentication,
authorization, and access control. Robust
authentication measures, Role-Based Access
Control (RBAC), and the principle of least
privilege are vital components of IAM.

4. NETWORK SECURITY

Network security encompasses configuring
firewalls, Intrusion Detection and Prevention
Systems (IDPS), and implementing Virtual
Private Networks (VPNs) which help in
securing remote access for authorized
users, to establish secure communication
channels.

5. THREAT DETECTION AND
INCIDENT RESPONSE
Threat detection and incident response
focus on implementing advanced monitoring
and detection mechanisms to identify,
analyze, and address security
breaches, vulnerabilities, and
cyberattacks. Employing
Security Information and Event
Management (SIEM) solutions
enhances this process.

6. ZERO-TRUST CLOUD
NETWORK SECURITY
CONTROLS
The Zero-Trust Cloud Network Security
Controls approach treats all network traffic
as potentially untrusted, requiring
continuous verification for access. This is
achieved through stringent identity
verification protocols, least privilege
access measures, and
micro-segmentation
tactics that minimize
attack surfaces and
boost overall security.
