Abstract

In this chapter, cybersecurity principles to protect digital information against cyber threats and cyber threat actors are discussed. Three fundamental principles to protect data include confidentiality, integrity, and availability. These principles are extended by adding two more principles of accountability and authenticity. The main motivations behind launching cyber threats are data breaches, financial instability, service disruption, and politics. These motivations pave the way for securing critical organizational assets by following the CIAAA principle. Surprisingly, the world’s biggest data breaches have exposed several businesses including communication, social networking, aviation industry, financial sector, government databases, health care, media, and transportation. These breaches emphasize the need for a data-centric security management system that includes data protection, transfer, control, access, and measurement. The data-centric security management process gathers meticulous information about an organization to understand how an attacker can exploit the vulnerabilities.
