CRISC 2023: Cryptography

Confidentiality integrity and availability are core pillars of IT security governance. Cybersecurity analysts can harden IT environments using various encryption and hashing techniques.

In this course examine how the CIA triad relates to IT security and how cryptography protects sensitive data. Next discover how to configure Encrypting File System (EFS) file encryption and Microsoft BitLocker encryption and use a customer-managed key to enable encryption for an Azure storage account. Then learn how to hash files in Linux and Windows. Finally find out about hardware security modules (HSMs) and the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) how Transport Layer Security (TLS) supersedes the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and how to enable HTTPS.

This course can be used to prepare for the ISACA Certified in Risk and Information Systems Control (CRISC) certification.
