Security Concerns In The Telecoms Industry
Telecommunication and network security is one of the most technical domains of the CISSP credential because it requires an understanding of network infrastructure, methods of communication, formats for transporting data, and measures taken to secure the network and transmission. The network is the vital link connecting information resources to users. Thus, this domain focuses on the design and architecture of the network and its components to prevent the disruption of data flow and intrusion.
The key components of this domain are:
Confidentiality
- Network security protocols
- Network authentication services
- Data encryption services
Integrity
- Firewall services
- Communications security management
- Intrusion detection services [and intrusion prevention systems]
Availability
- Fault tolerance for data availability (backups, redundant disk systems)
- Acceptable logins and operating process performance
- Reliable and interoperable security processes and network security mechanisms3
