Cybersecurity System

A Cybersecurity System is a information-system protection system that can be used to create digital defense solutions (that support information security tasks).

• Context:
  • It can typically safeguard Information Asset with defense mechanisms to prevent unauthorized access.
  • It can typically implement Security Control with technical measures to mitigate cybersecurity risks.
  • It can typically enforce Security Policy through automated enforcement when security events are detected.
  • It can typically protect Digital Resource through layered defense strategy against cyber threats.
  • It can typically monitor System Activity through continuous surveillance for anomalous behavior.
  • ...
  • It can often facilitate Incident Response through security alert systems for security teams.
  • It can often provide Threat Intelligence through data collection mechanisms for security analysis purposes.
  • It can often deploy Preventive Control through security architecture for proactive protection.
  • It can often support Compliance Requirement through security documentation and audit processes.
  • ...
  • It can range from being a Simple Cybersecurity System to being a Complex Cybersecurity System, depending on its protection scope.
  • It can range from being a Perimeter-Focused Cybersecurity System to being a Defense-in-Depth Cybersecurity System, depending on its architectural approach.
  • It can range from being a Standalone Cybersecurity System to being an Integrated Cybersecurity System, depending on its implementation model.
  • ...
  • It can integrate with Risk Management Framework for risk-based security.
  • It can connect to Security Operations Center for centralized monitoring.
  • It can support Identity Management System for authentication control.
  • It can work with Compliance Management System for regulatory adherence.
  • It can interface with Incident Management System for security event handling.
  • ...
• Examples:
  • Cybersecurity System Types, such as:
    • Network Security Systems, such as:
      • Firewall System for network traffic filtering.
      • Intrusion Prevention System for malicious activity blocking.
      • Virtual Private Network for secure communication.
    • Endpoint Security Systems, such as:
      • Antivirus System for malware protection.
      • Host-Based Intrusion Prevention System for endpoint attack mitigation.
      • Data Loss Prevention System for sensitive data control.
    • Application Security Systems, such as:
      • Web Application Firewall for web attack protection.
      • Database Security System for data access control.
      • API Security Gateway for interface protection.
    • Identity Security Systems, such as:
      • Identity and Access Management System for user authentication.
      • Privileged Access Management System for administrative control.
      • Multi-Factor Authentication System for enhanced identity verification.
  • Cybersecurity System Architectures, such as:
    • Perimeter Security Architectures, such as:
      • Defense Perimeter Model for external threat protection.
      • Zero Trust Architecture for implicit trust elimination.
    • Integrated Security Architectures, such as:
      • Security Mesh Architecture for distributed security control.
      • Security Orchestration Architecture for automated security operation.
  • ...
• Counter-Examples:
  • IT Management System, which focuses on system administration and operational efficiency rather than security protection.
  • Network Management System, which prioritizes network performance and availability monitoring without emphasizing threat detection.
  • Data Backup System, which provides data recovery capability but lacks active threat protection.
  • Privacy Management System, which concentrates on data privacy compliance rather than comprehensive security control.
