  1. Information Systems Security and You

  2. What is Information Systems Security? • Protecting your data – usually referring to your online or electronic data.

  3. Every Day Information Systems Security

  4. How do we protect our data? • Passwords • Traditional Passwords – a string of characters that allows access to a system • PIN – personal number used to gain access to a system. Usually 4-8 digits • Fingerprints – cannot be forgotten, forged, or guessed. • Facial Recognition – cannot be forgotten but can be forged. Machines that aren’t as sophisticated can be tricked by photos of you.

  5. Good vs. Bad Passwords

  6. Good vs.Bad Passwords • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=opRMrEfAIiI (2 min. 40 sec) Do you think the passwords in the video were good? Why or why not?

  7. What makes a password good? • Using symbols • Having long passwords (at least 12 characters but longer is better) • Not using personal information (like birthday or pet names) • Using a combination of numbers and letters * Handout

  8. Password Game • Split up into 4-5 groups. • Come up with a password that you think will be strong but realistic. (i.e. make sure somebody would be able to use it and remember it in real life). • Present your password to the class. • Check to see which group created the strongest password! • http://password-checker.online-domain-tools.com/

  9. Wifi

  10. Public Wifi Scares • Fake Wifi (“Flyingstar2”) • Password Free Networks (unencrypted data)

  11. Demo - Wireshark • Wireshark is an open source packet analyzer (packet sniffer) that can intercept information that is going across a network and keep track of it. • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_WQe36pZ3mA(start at 1 min 10 sec)

  12. Demo – Wireshark

  13. Information Security Lessons for the Film Industry

  14. Physical Security • Protecting your data – usually referring to your online or electronic data, but physical security is an important part too! • How can we protect our physical spaces? • Locks • Secure spaces/vaults • Badges

  15. What’s wrong with this picture?

  16. What would you do? • If you were working on a film what would you want to keep physically safe? • How could you keep those things safe?

  17. Social Engineering • Tricking people into giving you personal or confidential information • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zUWlnHPzJcA&t=16s (stop at 1 min)

  18. Social Engineering

  19. Social Engineering • People use social engineering to: • Try to figure out passwords • Get bank information • Learn company or government secrets • Ex. Kane Gable and CIA John Brennan in 2017

  20. Access Controls • Access control is a security technique that regulates who or what can view or use resources in a computing environment. Can be physical or logical. • Why do you think having access controls is important? • Note that this protects data not only from attackers, but also from employees who may make mistakes.

  21. Toy Story 2 and Access Control

  22. Summary • Protecting personal and proprietary information is important! • Passwords should be strong and unique. • Be careful when using public wifi. • Keep physical areas and information secure. • Make use of access controls when necessary.
