About Security Threats and Risk Management

GoConqr Original

Start with threats to data

Begin with a Threats to Data mind map for an overview. One map brings together malware, identity theft, hacking, phishing, opportunist threats and accidental damage. Another groups threats as accidental, opportunist or malicious. Look at the branches and compare how the maps organize the same topic.

As you study, note which terms you recognize and which you want to explore further. Teachers can also use the maps as starting points for discussing threats to data with students.

Move on to system threats

Next, open a System Threats mind map. One covers malware, including Trojans and spyware, and lists effects such as computer slowdowns and file corruption. Compare its detail with what you found in the data threats maps.

The Protecting ICT Systems map also covers employees, carelessness, data damage, data theft and external people. It gives you another way to look at threats, including actions such as leaving a computer without logging out or deleting files.

Combine maps, flashcards and quizzes

After exploring the maps, use a flashcard deck on threats to data security to go over the terms. Then try the quiz on threats to data. Use the questions to decide which parts of the maps you want to look at again.

There are also flashcard decks on actions to minimize risk. These sit alongside the threat-focused resources and offer another direction to explore on this page.
