  12. InfoSec is… Risk Management Identify Measure Analyze Plan Implement

  13. What is at Risk? Confidentiality Integrity Availability

  14. Defence in Depth lowers Risk

  15. Processleads to Outcome Firewalls do not make you secure Anti-virus does not make you secure Policiesdo not make you secure VPNs do not make you secure Guardsdo not make you secure Passwords do not make you secure Together they all make you MOREsecure
