Access Control
Access controls are a collection of mechanisms that work together to create security architecture to protect the assets of the information system.

Telecommunications and Network Security

Network Structures
Transmission methodology
Transport formats
Security measures used to provide availability, integrity, authentication and confidentiality for transmissions over private and public communications networks and media.

Information Security and Risk Management
Security management entails the identification of an organization's information assets and the development, documentation and implementation of policies, standards, procedures and guidelines.

Management tools such as data classification and risk assessment/analysis are used to identify threats, classify assets and to rate system vulnerabilities so that effective controls can be implemented.

Application Security
The domain addresses the important security concepts that apply to application software development. It outlines the environment where software is designed and developed and explains the critical role software plays in providing information system security.

Cryptography
The cryptography domain addresses the principles, means, and methods of disguising information to ensure its integrity, confidentiality and authenticity.

Security Architecture and Designs
The Security Architecture and Models domain contains the concepts, principles, structures, and standards used to design, monitor, and secure operating systems, equipment, networks, applications and those controls used to enforce various levels of availability, integrity, and confidentiality.

Operations Security
Operations Security is used to identify the controls over hardware, media, and the operators and administrators with access privileges to any of these resources. Audit and monitoring are the mechanisms, tools, and facilities that permit the identification of security events and subsequent actions to identify the key elements and report the pertinent information to the appropriate individual, group, or process.
