ABSTRACT
THE 2012 VERIZON DATA BREACH INVESTIGATION REPORT found
that over 97 percent of breaches were avoidable if security measures
classified as simple or intermediate had been in place1.
The communications and network security domain addresses the
security concerns related to the critical role of telecommunications
and networks in today’s distributed computing environments. The
security architect understands the risks to communications networks,
whether they are data, voice, or multimedia networks. This includes
an understanding of communications processes and protocols,
threats and countermeasures, support for organizational growth and
operations, and the ability to design, implement, and monitor secure
network architectures.
