The Romanian Association for Information Security Assurance (RAISA) coordinated the development of a cybersecurity guide, ISBN: 978-973-0-33645-0, DOI: 10.19107/CYBERSEC.2021.RO, with the help of the U.S. Embassy in Romania, the Romanian National Computer Security Incident Response Team (CERT-RO), and the National Association for Information Systems Security (ANSSI).
The guide contains several best practices to secure information against the major forms of cyber-threats. The sections of this guide are:
- Secure Your PC / Laptop.
- Secure Your Mobile Device.
- Secure Your Network.
- Malware.
- E-mail Based Attacks.
- Web-Based Attacks.
- DoS and DDoS Attacks.
- Web Application Attacks.
- Social Media Scams.
- Security of Online Transactions.
- Security of Debit / Credit Card.
- Identity Theft.
- Insider Threats.
- Data Protection Request from Individuals.
- Data Protection Compliance for SMEs.
- Transparency of Personal Data Processing.
- NIS Directive.
- Incident Reporting.
Dan Cîmpean, General Director of the Romanian National Computer Security Incident Response Team (CEERT-RO), said about this guide: “Written in the form of a concise and pragmatic cybersecurity guide, this superb work epitomizes, in just a few dozen pages, over a century of concrete experience from its 11 authors. Basic concepts such as confidentiality, integrity, availability, personal data protection, but also specific elements from European or Romanian legislation related to the cybersecurity field, are transmitted in a clear, simple, but not simplified form”.
The cybersecurity guide was developed within the “Enhance Cyber Capacity Building in Romania for Preventing and Combating the Cybercrime Phenomenon” project, developed by the Romanian Association for Information Security Assurance (RAISA) with the help of the U.S. Embassy in Romania.
