Digital Security

Opportunities and challenges in digitizing security

differences

Online versus in-person conversation

Learning Objectives

• Develop data protection practices
• Justify the use of Two-Factory Authentication
• Differentiate the features physical and digital security
• Evaluate and adopt a password management system

How would you secure it?

Where would you secure it?

Digital affordances

• Time (asynchronous communication)
• Geography (transcend borders)
• Presence (anonymity, discrimination)
• Speed
• Archival
• Manipulation of data for interoperability

Digital Security Issues

• Time: attacks can happen anytime
• Geography: originate from anywhere
• Presence: anonymous and without prejudice
• Speed: many tries per second
• Archival: trojans can lay dormant for later
• Manipulation: several layers can be targeted

Our own worst enemy

• Cannot rely on a single approach
• Too many layers disrupt the user-experience
• Social engineering is the easiest way to gain access
