1 CMGT 400 Philip Robbins – February 5, 2013 (Week 1) University of Phoenix Mililani Campus Intro to Information Assurance & Security

2 Agenda: Week 1 Introductions Course Syllabus Fundamental Aspects -Information -Information Assurance -Information Security Services -Risk Management, CND, and Incident Response Quiz #1 Assignment

3 Concepts Information -What is it? -Why is it important? -How do we protect (secure) it?

4 Why is this important? Information is valuable. therefore, Information Systems are valuable. etc… Compromise of Information Security Services (C-I-A) have real consequences (loss) -Confidentiality: death, proprietary info, privacy, theft -Integrity: theft, loss of confidence, validity -Availability: lost productivity, disruption of C2, defense, emergency services

5 Concepts Information Systems Systems that store, transmit, and process information.+ Information Security The protection of information._______________________________________________ Information Systems Security The protection of systems that store, transmit, and process information.

6 Fundamental Concepts What is Information Assurance (IA)? -Our assurance (confidence) in the protection of our information / Information Security Services. What are Information Security Services (ISS)? -Confidentiality: Making sure our information is protected from unauthorized disclosure. -Integrity: Making sure the information we process, transmit, and store has not been corrupted or adversely manipulated. -Availability: Making sure that the information is there when we need it and gets to those who need it.

7 Private vs. Military Requirements Which security model an organization uses depends on it’s goals and objectives. –Military is generally concerned with CONFIDENTIALITY –Private businesses are generally concerned with AVAILABILITY (ex. Netflix, eBay etc) OR INTEGRITY (ex. Banks). –Some private sector companies are concerned with CONFIDENTIALITY (ex. hospitals). Which ISS do you believe is most important?

8 Fundamental Concepts Progression of Terminology Computer Security (COMPUSEC) Information Security (INFOSEC) Information Assurance (IA) Cyber Security Legacy Term (no longer used). Legacy Term (still used). Term widely accepted today with focus on Information Sharing. Broad Term quickly being adopted.

9 Fundamental Concepts What is Cyberspace? -Term adopted by the USG -The virtual environment of information and interactions between people. -Telecommunication Network infrastructures -Information Systems -The Internet

10 Review of Fundamental Concepts What is the Defense in Depth Strategy? -Using layers of defense as protection. People, Technology, and Operations. Onion Model

11 Defense-in-Depth Adversaries attack the weakest link…where is yours? Risk assessment Security planning, policies, procedures Configuration management and control Contingency planning Incident response planning Security awareness and training Security in acquisitions Physical security Personnel security Security assessments and authorization Continuous monitoring Access control mechanisms Identification & authentication mechanisms (Biometrics, tokens, passwords) Audit mechanisms Encryption mechanisms Boundary and network protection devices (Firewalls, guards, routers, gateways) Intrusion protection/detection systems Security configuration settings Anti-viral, anti-spyware, anti-spam software Smart cards Links in the Security Chain: Management, Operational, and Technical Controls

12 Review of Fundamental Concepts Source: Cieslak, Randall (Dec 2011). Cyber Fundamentals. USPACOM Chief Information Officer. Information Assurance Services (IAS)

13 Review of Fundamental Concepts

14 Challenges Fixed Resources Sustainable strategies reduce costs

15 Information Systems Security: Privacy Defined: the protection and proper handling of sensitive personal information - Requires proper technology for protection - Requires processes and controls for appropriate handling

16 Personally Identifiable Information (PII) Name SSN Phone number Driver's license number Credit card numbers –etc…

17 Concept 1: Info Security & Assurance You leave your job at ACME, Inc. to become the new Information Systems Security Manager (ISSM) for University of University College (UUC). The Chief Information Officer (CIO) of UUC drops by your office to let you know that they have no ISS program at UUC! A meeting with the Board of Directors is scheduled and you are asked by the CIO to attend. The Board wants to hear your considerations on how to start the new ISS program spanning all national and international networks.

18 Concept 1: Info Security & Assurance - What would you tell the Board? - As an ISSM, what would you consider first? - What types of questions would you ask the Board and/or to the CIO?

19 Concept 2: Physical & Logical ISS First day on the job and you find yourself already meeting with the local Physical Security and IT Services Managers at UUC. You introduce yourself as the new ISSM and both managers eagerly ask you “what can we do to help?”

20 Concept 2: Physical & Logical ISS - What do you tell these Managers? - What types of questions would you ask the Managers? - As an ISSM, what are some IT, computer, and network security issues you consider important to a new ISS program at UUC? - What about your meeting with the Board of Directors earlier? How does it apply here?

21 Concept 3: Risk After a month on the job, as an ISSM, you decide to update the CIO on the progress of the UUC ISS program via email when all of a sudden the entire internal network goes down! Your Computer Network Defense Team is able to determine the source of the disruption to an unknown vulnerability that was exploited on a generic perimeter router. The CIO calls you into his office and indicates to you that he is “concerned about the Risk to the networks at UUC” and ‘wants a risk assessment conducted’ ASAP.

22 Concept 3: Risk - What does the CIO mean by “Risk to the networks at UUC”? - As an ISSM, how would you conduct a risk assessment for the CIO? - What are some of the elements of risk? - How is risk measured and why is it important?

23 Risk Management Information Systems Risk Management is the process of identifying, assessing, and mitigating (reducing) risks to an acceptable level. - Why is this important? There is no such thing as 100% security. - Can risk ever be eliminated?

24 Risk Management Risks MUST be identified, classified and analyzed to asses potential damage (loss) to company. Risk is difficult to measure and quantify, however, we must prioritize the risks and attempt to address them!

25 Risk Management Identify assets and their values Identify Vulnerabilities and Threats Quantify the probability of damage and cost of damage Implement cost effective countermeasures! ULTIMATE GOAL is to be cost effective. That is: ensure that your assets are safe, at the same time don’t spend more to protect something than it’s worth*

26 Who is ultimately responsible for risk? MANAGEMENT!!! Management may delegate to data custodians or business units that shoulder some of the risk. However, it is senior management that is ultimately responsible for the companies health - as such they are ultimately responsible for the risk.

27 Computer Network Defense Defending against unauthorized actions that would compromise or cripple information systems and networks. Protect, monitor, analyze, detect, and respond to network attacks, intrusions, or disruptions.

28 Incident Response Responding to a Security Breach - Incident Handling - Incident Management - Eradication & Recovery - Investigation (Forensics / Analysis) - Legal, Regulatory and Compliance Reporting - Documentation

80 Chapter 2: General Security Concepts Be sure to understand the difference between: Layered Security vs. Security Through Obscurity

81 Chapter 2: General Security Concepts Access - Control what a subject can perform or what objects the subject can interact with. - i.e. Access Control Lists (ACL’s) Authentication - Verify the identity of a subject. (Who You Are) - Involves identification - Passwords, cards, biometrics (fingerprints), etc. - Digital certificates

82 Chapter 2: General Security Concepts Authorization - Verifies what a subject is authorized to do. Be sure to understand the difference between: Access vs. Identification vs. Authentication vs. Authorization

83 Chapter 2: General Security Concepts Social Engineering - Talk individuals into divulging information that they normally would never have. - Used to gain information on identities, access, or authorization. - Data aggregation.

84 Policies –Constraints of behavior on systems and people –Specifies activities that are required, limited, and forbidden Example –Information systems should be configured to require good security practices in the selection and use of passwords Chapter 2: General Security Concepts

85 Requirements –Required characteristics of a system or process. –Often the same as or similar to the policy –Specifies what should be done, not how to do it. Example –Information systems must enforce password quality standards. Chapter 2: General Security Concepts

86 Guidelines define how to support a policy –Example: ‘As a guideline’ passwords should not be dictionary words, don’t write passwords down, etc…

87 Chapter 2: General Security Concepts Standards: what products, technical methods will be used to support policy. Example –All fiber optic cables must be ACME brand –Passwords must be at least 8 characters, contain 2 upper and lower case chars… Procedures: step by step instructions

88 Chapter 2: General Security Concepts Classification of Information - Sensitivity / Confidentiality Example –Unclassified (UNCLASS) –For Official Use Only (FOUO) –Confidential –Secret (S) –Secret Releasable (S//REL) –Top Secret (TS)

91 Chapter 2: General Security Concepts Bell-LaPadula Confidentiality Security Model - Principle 1: Simple Security (No Read Up) Rule No subject can read from an object with a security classification higher than possessed by the subject. - Principle 2: * - property (No Write Down) Rule Allows a subject to write to an object of equal or greater security classification. Why wouldn’t you be able to write down?

92 Chapter 2: General Security Concepts Biba Integrity Security Model - Policy 1: Low-Water-Mark Prevents unauthorized modification of data; subjects writing to objects of a higher integrity label. - Policy 2: Ring Allows a subject to read any object without regard to the object’s level of integrity and without lowering the subject’s integrity level.
