College Board AP Cybersecurity outline. A. Cybersecurity Fundamentals  Purpose of cybersecurity  Confidentiality  Integrity  Availability  Cybersecurity assets  Vulnerabilities  Threats  Risks  Security controls  Defense in depth
Sample sumary:
Cybersecurity fundamentals focus on protecting computer systems, 
networks, data, and other important assets from harm or unauthorized access. 
A key concept is the CIA Triad, which includes Confidentiality to keep information private,
Integrity to ensure information remains accurate and unchanged, 
and Availability to make sure systems and data are accessible when needed. 
Students also learn how vulnerabilities are weaknesses that can be exploited by threats,
creating risks to an organization. To reduce these risks, organizations use security controls 
such as passwords, firewalls, encryption, policies, and monitoring. 
Defense in depth strengthens security by using multiple layers of 
protection so that if one control fails, other safeguards remain in place.
