Information security
consider productivity cost effectiveness value asset.evaluate effectiveness control measures.ensure controls provide required cost effective protection without discernible loss productivity.for given risk management choose accept risk based upon relative low value asset relative low frequency occurrence relative low impact business.leadership may choose mitigate risk selecting implementing appropriate control measures reduce risk.cases risk transferred another business buying insurance outsourcing another business.reality risks may disputed.
Information security
cases leadership may choose deny risk.security controls selecting implementing proper security controls initially help organization bring risk acceptable levels.control selection follow based risk assessment.controls vary nature fundamentally ways protecting confidentiality integrity availability information.isoiec defined controls different areas.
Information security
organizations implement additional controls according requirement organization.isoiec offers guideline organizational information security standards.administrative administrative controls also called procedural controls consist approved written policies procedures standards guidelines.administrative controls form framework running business managing people.inform people business run daytoday operations conducted.
Information security
laws regulations created government bodies also type administrative control inform business.industry sectors policies procedures standards guidelines must followed – payment card industry data security standard pci dss required visa mastercard example.examples administrative controls include corporate security policy password policy hiring policies disciplinary policies.administrative controls form basis selection implementation logical physical controls.logical physical controls manifestations administrative controls paramount importance.logical logical controls also called technical controls use software data monitor control access information computing systems.
Information security
passwords network hostbased firewalls network intrusion detection systems access control lists data encryption examples logical controls.an important logical control frequently overlooked principle least privilege requires individual program system process granted access privileges necessary perform task.blatant example failure adhere principle least privilege logging windows user administrator read email surf web.violations principle also occur individual collects additional access privileges time.happens employees job duties change employees promoted new position employees transferred another department.access privileges required new duties frequently added onto already existing access privileges may longer necessary appropriate.
Information security
physical physical controls monitor control environment work place computing facilities.also monitor control access facilities include doors locks heating air conditioning smoke fire alarms fire suppression systems cameras barricades fencing security guards cable locks etc.separating network workplace functional areas also physical controls.an important physical control frequently overlooked separation duties ensures individual complete critical task himself.example employee submits request reimbursement also able authorize payment print check.applications programmer also server administrator database administrator roles responsibilities must separated one another.

Information security
next develop classification policy.policy describe different classification labels define criteria information assigned particular label list required security controls classification.some factors influence classification information assigned include much value information organization old information whether information become obsolete.laws regulatory requirements also important considerations classifying information.information systems audit control association isaca business model information security also serves tool security professionals examine security systems perspective creating environment security managed holistically allowing actual risks addressed.the type information security classification labels selected used depend nature organization examples beingin business sector labels public sensitive private confidential.in government sector labels unclassified unofficial protected confidential secret top secret nonenglish equivalents.in crosssectoral formations traffic light protocol consists white green amber red.all employees organization well business partners must trained classification schema understand required security controls handling procedures classification.classification particular information asset assigned reviewed periodically ensure classification still appropriate information ensure security controls required classification place followed right procedures.
Information security
access control access protected information must restricted people authorized access information.computer programs many cases computers process information must also authorized.requires mechanisms place control access protected information.sophistication access control mechanisms parity value information protected sensitive valuable information stronger control mechanisms need be.foundation access control mechanisms built start identification authentication.access control generally considered three steps identification authentication authorization.
Information security
identification identification assertion someone something is.person makes statement hello name john doe making claim are.however claim may may true.john doe granted access protected information necessary verify person claiming john doe really john doe.typically claim form username.
Information security
entering username claiming person username belongs to.authentication authentication act verifying claim identity.john doe goes bank make withdrawal tells bank teller john doe claim identity.bank teller asks see photo id hands teller drivers license.bank teller checks license make sure john doe printed compares photograph license person claiming john doe.
Information security

Information security
authorization person program computer successfully identified authenticated must determined informational resources permitted access actions allowed perform run view create delete change.called authorization.authorization access information computing services begins administrative policies procedures.policies prescribe information computing services accessed conditions.access control mechanisms configured enforce policies.
Information security
different computing systems equipped different kinds access control mechanisms.may even offer choice different access control mechanisms.access control mechanism system offers based upon one three approaches access control may derived combination three approaches.the nondiscretionary approach consolidates access control centralized administration.access information resources usually based individuals function role organization tasks individual must perform.discretionary approach gives creator owner information resource ability control access resources.
Information security
mandatory access control approach access granted denied basing upon security classification assigned information resource.examples common access control mechanisms use today include rolebased access control available many advanced database management systems simple file permissions provided unix windows operating systems group policy objects provided windows network systems kerberos radius tacacs simple access lists used many firewalls routers.to effective policies security controls must enforceable upheld.effective policies ensure people held accountable actions.u.s. treasurys guidelines systems processing sensitive proprietary information example states failed successful authentication access attempts must logged access information must leave type audit trail.also needtoknow principle needs effect talking access control.principle gives access rights person perform job functions.principle used government dealing difference clearances.
