Fundamentals of InfoSecintermediate
Arrange these broad security activities in a sensible cycle, beginning with identifying what needs protection.
Answer
Identify systems, services, or information that could be lost or disrupted, Select software or physical safeguards and procedures, Put the safeguards into use with the people responsible for them, Review whether the safeguards still address current risks
Explanation
### The order
1. **Identify systems, services, or information that could be lost or disrupted**: You need to understand what is at risk before choosing a safeguard.
2. **Select software or physical safeguards and procedures**: Controls should address the identified risks.
3. **Put the safeguards into use with the people responsible for them**: Controls must be operated and followed to provide protection.
4. **Review whether the safeguards still address current risks**: Security is ongoing, so changing conditions can require changes to safeguards.
### The concept
The review stresses continuing security work and the roles of people, technology, and environment. This sequence applies those ideas as a practical cycle. It is not a claim that the review mandates one formal risk-management method; it is a reasoned way to apply the process principle.
### Remember
Identify what matters, choose suitable safeguards, put them into practice, and keep reviewing them.
