CISSP Cheat Sheet

The document outlines a classification system with 4 divisions - A, B, C, and D - representing different levels of security protection for systems, with Division A providing the most stringent "verified protection" using formal methods of design and testing. Within each division are subcategories that describe security features such as mandatory access control, configuration management, trusted recovery, and covert channel analysis. Common security models, assurance levels, threats, and basic cybersecurity principles are also listed.
