Cybersecurity principles of IT focus on a set of practices intended to keep a corporate infrastructure secure. These practices include, but are not limited to, system, data, internal, external, and physical security.

• Open design
• Complete mediation
• Least privilege
• Fail-safe defaults/Fail secure
• Least astonishment (psychological acceptability)
• Minimize trust surface (reluctance to trust)
• Usability
• Trust relationships

For each of the principles listed, include the following:

• Definition (1-2 sentences written in your own words)
• Explanation of why each principle is important to security and how it enables the development of security mechanisms to implement desired security policies
