Summary of findings and key takeaways from the Security Tools Manual project.
The selected tools cover three critical subtopics in information technology security: Data Recovery, FTP Application, and Remote Access. Each tool strengthens or secures IT services, demonstrating the practical application of CIA (Confidentiality, Integrity, Availability) principles in real-world scenarios.
How each tool contributes to the CIA security model
Data Recovery Tool
Primary CIA Focus: Availability
Ensures availability of data by recovering lost, deleted, or formatted files. This tool demonstrates that data can be restored even after accidental deletion or system crashes, maintaining access to critical information.
FTP Application
Primary CIA Focus: Confidentiality & Integrity
Secures file transfer confidentiality and integrity through FTPS/SFTP protocols. Encrypts data during transmission to protect sensitive information from interception while ensuring files remain unaltered.
Remote Access Tool
Primary CIA Focus: Availability & Integrity
Enables secure remote access while maintaining availability and integrity. Provides encrypted sessions with client-approved access, ensuring authorized support operations can be performed safely.
Using these tools ensures data protection, operational continuity, and system security. Together, they provide a comprehensive approach to information technology security that addresses all three pillars of the CIA triad.
The foundation of information security
Protecting sensitive information from unauthorized access through encryption, access controls, and secure protocols.
Maintaining the accuracy and completeness of data, ensuring it hasn't been modified by unauthorized parties.
Ensuring authorized users have reliable and timely access to information and resources when needed.
