Date: Mar 29, 2009
The operations department has responsibilities that pertain to everything that takes place to keep a network, computer system, applications and environment up and running in a secure and protected manner. After network setup is when operations kicks in, which includes the continual day-to-day maintenance of an environment. These activities are routine in nature and enable the environment, systems and applications to continue to run correctly and securely.

In this CISSP Essentials Security School lesson, Domain 10, Operations Security, expert CISSP exam trainer Shon Harris details the process of understanding enterprise security operations from the point of view of a competitor or hacker, and then developing and applying countermeasures to mitigate identified threats.
