Conclusion

Summary of findings and key takeaways from the Security Tools Manual project.

Project Summary

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.

Key Findings by Tool

How each tool contributes to the CIA security model

Wondershare Recoverit

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.

Cyberduck

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.

HelpWire

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.

CIA Triad Recap

The foundation of information security

Confidentiality

Protecting sensitive information from unauthorized access through encryption, access controls, and secure protocols.

Integrity

Maintaining the accuracy and completeness of data, ensuring it hasn't been modified by unauthorized parties.

Availability

Ensuring authorized users have reliable and timely access to information and resources when needed.
