How does Lightcast define a skill?
IT Security Architecture refers to the framework and design principles that guide the implementation of security measures within an organization's IT infrastructure. This skill encompasses the assessment of security requirements, the identification of potential threats, and the development of strategies to mitigate risks while ensuring compliance with relevant regulations. Knowledge of IT Security Architecture is used to create secure systems and networks, enabling organizations to protect sensitive data and maintain operational integrity against cyber threats.
The NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) is not a certification, but rather a voluntary set of guidelines and best practices designed to help organizations manage and reduce cybersecurity risks. The framework consists of five core functions: Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover. These functions provide a holistic approach to cybersecurity that helps organizations assess their current security posture, identify weaknesses, and implement measures to address them. The framework is widely used and recognized by businesses, government agencies, and other organizations as a valuable tool for improving cybersecurity.
Security Governance refers to the framework of policies, procedures, and controls that ensure an organization’s information security aligns with its objectives and regulatory requirements. It is used to manage risks, enforce accountability, and maintain the integrity, confidentiality, and availability of information systems.
Security Risk refers to the potential for loss, damage, or disruption to an organization's assets, operations, or information due to threats and vulnerabilities. It is used to evaluate and prioritize risks to implement appropriate mitigation strategies.
Security Technology refers to the use of physical and digital systems designed to protect people, information, and assets from unauthorized access, damage, or disruption. It includes the selection, deployment, and maintenance of tools and controls that monitor environments, detect threats, and support response actions. In work settings, it is applied to strengthen protection measures, manage risk, and support compliance with organizational security requirements.
