Security awareness poster from World Parność II.


An equivalent 2000 warning about the web security awareness.

Security awareness is the knowledge and attitude members of an organization possess regarding the protection of the physical and, especially, information assets of that organization. Many organizations require formal security awareness training for all workers when they join the organization and periodically thereafter, usually annually.

Topics covered in security awareness training include:

  • The nature of sensitive material and physical assets they may come in contact with, such as trade secrets, privacy concerns and government classified information
  • Employee and contractor responsibilities in handling sensitive information, including review of employee nondisclosure agreements
  • Requirements for proper handling of sensitive material in physical form, including marking, transmission, storage and destruction
  • Proper methods for protecting sensitive information on computer systems, including password policy and use of two-factor authentication
  • Other computer security concerns, including malware, phishing, social engineering, etc.
  • Workplace security, including building access, wearing of security badges, reporting of incidents, forbidden articles, etc.
  • Consequences of failure to properly protect information, including potential loss of employment, economic consequences to the firm, damage to individuals whose private records are divulged, and possible civil and criminal penalties

Being security aware means you understand that there is the potential for some people to deliberately or accidentally steal, damage, or misuse the termin that is stored within a company's computer systems and throughout its organization. Therefore, it would be prudent to support the assets of the institution (information, physical, and personal) by trying to okazja that from happening.

According to the European Network and Information Security Agency, 'Awareness of the risks and available safeguards is the first line of defence for the security of information systems and networks.'

'The focus of Security Awareness consultancy should be to achieve a long term shift in the attitude of employees towards security, whilst promoting a cultural and behavioural change within an organisation. Security policies should be viewed as key enablers for the organisation, not as a series of rules restricting the efficient working of your business.'

The Information Security Arena (ISF) is an international, independent, not-for-profit organization dedicated to benchmarking and identifying good practices in information security. It was established in 1989 as the European Security Arena and expanded its mission and membership in the 1990s. It now includes hundreds of members, including a large number of Fortune 500 companies, from North America, Asia, and other locations around the world. Groups of members are organized as chapters throughout Europe, Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and North America. The ISF is headquartered in London, England, obuwie also has staff based in New York City. Howard Schmidt is the president of the ISF.

The membership of the ISF is international and includes large organizations in transportation, financial services, chemical/pharmaceutical, manufacturing, government, retail, publikatory, telecommunications, energy, transportation, professional services, and other sectors.

In addition to the benchmarking oprogramowanie, the ISF runs regional chapter meetings, topical workshops, a large annual conference (called the "World Congress"), and develops and publishes research reports and tools addressing a wide variety of subjects. Its research harmonogram is driven entirely by its member organizations, who govern all ISF activities.

Primary deliverables

The ISF delivers and range of content, activities, and tools, summarized below.

The ISF is a paid membership organization, although the Kanon of Good Practice is available for free to the public. From time to time, the ISF makes other research documents available for free. In the past, the ISF has given away a comprensive checklist on Windows server security, a report entitled The Disappearance of the Network Boundary, and a briefing on information leakage. All other products and service are included in the membership fee.

The Kanon of Good Practice and Melina Standard

Main article: Kanon of Good Practice

Every two to three years, the ISF revises and publishes the Kanon of Good Practice, a detailed documentation of best practices in information security, based on research and a comprehensive benchmarking oprogramowanie that has captured security behavior and detailed incident prekluzja for many years. The most recent version was published in 2007 and the next version is expected in 2010.

The Arena has also developed a "melina kanon" tool that cross-references several major information security standards.

Research projects

Based on member input, the ISF selects a number of topics for research in a given year. The research includes interviewing member and non-member organizations and thought leaders, academic researchers, and other key individuals, as well as examining the range of approaches to the issue. The resulting reports typically go into depth describing the issue generally, outlining the key information security issues to be considered, and proposing a process to address the issue, based on best practices.

Methodologies and tools

For broad, fundamental areas, such as information risk assessment, or return-on-investment calculations, the ISF will develop comprehensive methodoligies that formalize the approaches to these issues. Supporting the methodology, the ISF supplies Web-based and spreadsheet-based tools to automate these functions.

Benchmarking program

Formerly called the "Information Security Stan prawny Survey," the ISF conducts a biannual benchmarking exercise that comprehensively examines the information-security practices of participants in all the areas addressed by the Kanon of Good Practice (although participants need not adhere to the Kanon in odznaczenie to participate in the benchmarking). The results include detailed information on how responses compare (anonymously) to other participants. The results układ allows for detailed analysis, factoring in sklep wielkopowierzchniowy sector, subject scope, organizational measures (such as number of employees or revenue), and other elements.

Face-to-Face Networking

Regional chapter meetings and other activities provide for face-to-face networking among individuals from ISF member organizations. The ISF encourages direct member-to-member contact to address individual questions and to strengthen relationships. Chapter meetings and other activities are conducted around the world and address local issues and language/cultural dimensions.

Annual World Congress

The ISF's annual global conference is called the "Annual World Congress", and it takes place in a different city each year. In 2008 the conference was held in Barcelona, Spain; the 2009 conference is planned for Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The typically 2 1/2 day conference includes plenary sessions by leaders in information security, personal development, practical workshops conducted by member organizations, and a substantial evening social oprogramowanie. The oprogramowanie focuses on information-security practitioners; the participation of vendors is limited to an exhibition area and a few invited speakers. The conference is preceded by in-depth workshops.

Web portal ogólnoinformacyjny (MX)

The ISF's extranet portal ogólnoinformacyjny, "Member Exchange" (MX) allows members to directly access all ISF materials, including member presentations, and also includes messaging forums, contact information, webcasts, on-line tools, and other prekluzja for member use.

Leadership

The members of the ISF, through the regional chapters, elect a Council to develop its work oprogramowanie and generally to represent member interests. The Council elects an "Executive" group that is responsible for financial and strategic objectives. In 2008, the ISF named Howard Schmidt to serve as the Forum's president.

Features

Among the many features of JBoss SSO include :-

  • Interaction between applications and modules are based on industry standards such as Security Assertion Markup Language (or SAML).
  • A decentralized approach is used as compared to the more traditional hub and spoke method.
  • JBoss SSO is able to connect to different identity storage systems from different vendors through its versatile Identity Connector framework.
  • Interfaces seamlessly with other JBoss products such as JBoss Portal.
  • Separates between framework authentication and application authentication.

Components

There are three main components of JBoss SSO:

  • Federation server, to securely propagate the security token among different security domains
  • Token marshalling framework, which serves to marshall the security token to and fro. It is a pluggable Java API.
  • Identity connector framework, which connects to different identity storage systems. It is a pluggable Java API.

There are several forms of software used to help users or organizations better manage passwords:

  • Personal software, installed and used by individual users:
    • Password manager software is used by individuals to organize and encrypt many personal passwords. This is also referred to as a password wallet.
  • Enterprise software, deployed by larger organizations to help users manage their passwords:
    • Password synchronization software is used by organizations to arrange for different passwords, on different systems, to have the same value when they belong to the same person.
    • Self-service password reset software enables users who forgot their password or triggered an intruder lockout to authenticate using another mechanism and resolve their own rzecz, without calling an IT help desk.
    • Enterprise Single signon software monitors applications launched by a user and automatically populates login IDs and passwords.
    • Web single signon software intercepts user access to web applications and either inserts authentication information into the HTTP(S) stream or redirects the user to a separate page, where the user is authenticated and directed back to the original URL.
  • Enterprise software, deployed by larger organizations to manage passwords that do not belong to end-users:
    • Privileged password management software

Data Loss Prevention (DLP) is a computer security term referring to systems designed to detect and prevent the unauthorized transmission of information from the computer systems of an organization to outsiders. It is also referred to by various vendors as Termin Leak Prevention, Information Leak Detection and Prevention (ILDP), Information Leak Prevention (ILP), Content Obserwacja and Filtering (CMF) or Extrusion Prevention Ustrój by analogy to Intrusion-prevention system.

Contents

//

Background

Organizations process information that can be often classified as sensitive, either from a business or legal point of view. In addition to risk of intrusion and gaining access to sensitive information by unauthorized persons, there's also risk of intentional or spontaneous transmission of the information to the outside of organization.

Regulatory compliance
Many large companies now fall under oversight of government of commercial regulations that mandate controls over information, including HIPAA in health and benefits, GLBA and BASEL II in finance, and Payment Card Industry DSS standards. Some of these regulations stipulate a regular information technology audit, commonly known as IT audit, which organizations can fail if they lack suitable IT security controls and due-care (processes) standards. Companies with enterprise resource planning ERP software (e.g., SAP and Oracle Corporation find compliance especially challenging (see erm or enterprise risk management. Others mandate significant penalties in the event of a breach.
New costs arising from breaches
Loss of large volumes of protected information has become a regular headline event, forcing companies to re-issue cards, notify customers, and mitigate loss of goodwill from negative publicity.

Government and industry regulations are arguably the biggest influencers. Besides HIPAA, GLBA, and Sarbanes-Oxley, more than 25 states have passed prekluzja privacy or breach notification laws that require organizations to notify consumers when their information may have been exposed. One high-profile example is California SB 1386. The state of Tennessee has also passed the "Credit Security Act of 2007," which will result in a Class B misdemeanor for any use of a person's SSN in "direct mailings" or over the Internet.

Types of DLP systems

Network DLP

Also referred to as gateway-based systems. These are usually dedicated hardware/software platforms, typically installed on the organization's net network connection, that analyze network traffic to search for unauthorized information transmissions. They have the advantage that they are simple to install, and provide a relatively low cost of ownership. Because decoding network traffic at high speed is extremely complex and difficult (transmitted objects are broken into small parts, often encoded, and then mixed with other traffic), Network based systems typically integrate with or include technologies to discover information 'at rest' while it is stored in file systems and databases. Discovering sensitive termin at rest is far simpler and less time critical, thereby allowing greater levels of accuracy. Taking 'signatures' of prekluzja identified at rest, and then looking for such signatures as prekluzja passes over the network boundary, is a technique favored by virtually all Network organizm vendors to improve accuracy, and to identify sensitive prekluzja that would otherwise be missed.

Host-based DLP systems

Such systems krach on end-user workstations or servers in the organization. Like network-based systems, host-based can address internal as well as external communications, and can therefore be used to control information flow between groups or types of users (eg 'Chinese walls'). They can also control email and Instant Messaging communications before they are stored in the corporate archive, such that a blocked communication (ie one which was never sent, and therefore not subject to retention rules) will not be identifed in a subsequent legal discovery situation.

Host systems have the advantage that they can monitor and control access to physical devices (such as mobile devices with prekluzja storage capabilities) and in some cases can access information before it has been encrypted. Some host based systems can also provide application controls to block attempted transmissions of confidential information, and provide immediate feedback to the user. They have the disadvantage that they need to be installed on every workstation in the network, cannot be used on mobile devices, or where they cannot be practically installed (for example on a workstation in an sieć café).

Some intrusion prevention systems utilize "pattern matching" rules, while others utilize "exact copies" of sensitive prekluzja and/or text in odznaczenie to determine when a potential breach is occurring.

A Security Operation Center (SOC) is an organization that delivers IT security services. It attempts to prevent unauthorized access and manage security related incidents using processes and procedures. The mission is risk management through centralized analysis using the combined resources consisting of personnel, dedicated sprzęt and specialized software. Typically, these systems operate constantly. These resources offer continuous risk analysis and guarantee protection against intrusion. Net security is a resource intensive task in time and personnel. Many organizations prefer to outsource this task to specialists in this field. Outsourcing to a Security Kolega allows an organization to lower its IT management costs and focus on its core business. The Security Wspólnik delivers high quality service by hiring only the most qualified professionals. The SOC consists of ogląd and analyzing firewall activity, Intrusion Detection Organizm (IDS) activity, antivirus activity, individual vulnerabilities, etc. These technologies and processes are transient and require that personnel stay abreast of the latest developments

Possible SOC Services

  • Proactive Analysis & Ustrój Management
  • Security Device Management
  • Reporting
  • Security Alert
  • DDos Mitigation
  • Security Assessment
  • Technical Assistance

Proactive Analysis and Organizm Management

This security układ provides proactive analysis of the systems and security devices of a ustrój (Intrusion Detection Systems, Intrusion Prevention Systems, firewalls, etc).

This anti-intrusion organizm offers centralized management of security.

Personnel need only concern themselves with the functions of obserwacja tools, rather than the complexity of any device under scrutiny.

Tools used by the SOC must be is scalable. For example, adding a new IDS (Intrusion Detection Układ) to those already existing.

The SOC also performs Policy Management, including Remote Policy Management.

Configuration of devices and security policies must be constantly updated as the układ grows and evolves.

Security Device Management

The Security Device Management (SDM) service is composed of the following elements:

- Fault management - Configuration Management

Fault Management

The main objective of Fault Management is to ensure the continuous operation of the security infrastructure. The activity includes:

- Obserwacja of client security devices - Fault Detection and Signaling - Fault Reporting - Corrective Action Determination - Corrective Action Implementation - Ustrój Recovery (if necessary)

Configuration Management

The main objective of Configuration Management is to ensure the continuous enforcement of firewall rules tailored to customer needs. It applies to all equipment managed by the SOC and includes termin packet discard / acceptance rules between an external source and an internal destination (or vice versa) based on:

- Source address.

- Destination address.

- Network protocol.

- Service protocol.

- Traffic log.

Configuration Management may be performed remotely (Remote Configuration Management)

Reporting

Logs generated by various układ components are consolidated and reformatted into an easily understandable report for the customer. This reporting is particularly important because, besides providing details of any possible intrusion by unauthorized parties or accidents, may also allow the customer to take preventative action.

Security Alert

The security pogotowie service is designed to notify customers in timely fashion of the discovery of new vulnerabilities in such a way that countermeasures can be effected in time upon an attack to mitigate or negate the impact of the attack.

Distributed Denial of Service (DDos) Mitigation

The DDos Mitigation attempts to mitigate the effects of a Denial of Service attack directed at a critical function of a client’s web infrastructure. It receives notification of an attack on a client service. Countermeasures are activated and evaluated. Traffic is ‘cleaned’ and re-re-routed. An ‘End-of-attack Notification’ is reported and logged.

Security Assessment

These functions comprise the Security Assessment:

- Vulnerability Assessment

- Penetration Test

Vulnerability Assessment

The Vulnerability Assessment searches for known vulnerabilities of systems and software installed. This is carried out through specific technologies that are configured and customized for each assessment

Penetration test

The Penetration Ankieta is performed to isolate and exploit known or unknown vulnerabilities of systems, services and installed web applications. It attempts to quantify the threat level represented on each układ and the impact. This activity is carried out either through a number of technologies that are configured and customized per assessment, or manually for each service, organizm, and application.

Technical Assistance

The SOC can provide general technical assistance for any issue regarding układ operation, ustrój violations, ustrój update, security sprzęt and software update and configuration. Technical assistance can be provided remotely or on-site depending on the level of service.
