Some types of web application flaws are mostly caused by an attack, a threat or a weakness. To present these security vulnerabilities, I have taken into consideration the results from OWASP (Open Web Application Security Project) organization, which is focused on improving the security of software. According to OWASP, top 10 most dangerous web vulnerabilities are listed below. • Injection Flaws Injection flaws, such as SQL, OS, and LDAP injection, allow attackers to relay malicious code through
increase their reliance on, possibly distributed, information systems for daily business, they become more vulnerable to security breaches even as they gain productivity and efficiency advantages. Though a number of techniques, such as encryption and electronic signatures, are currently available to protect data when transmitted across sites, a truly comprehensive approach for data protection must also include mechanisms for enforcing access control policies based on data contents, subject qualifications
POLICY STATEMENT 1. Information Services (Tucker Inc.) Responsibility—All Tucker Inc. employees who come into contact with sensitive Tucker Inc. internal information are expected to familiarize themselves with this data categorization policy and to consistently use these same ideas in their daily Tucker Inc. business activities. Sensitive information is either Confidential or Restricted information, and both are defined later in this document. Although this policy provides overall guidance, to
Databases are used to store different types of information, from data on an e-mail account to important data of government agencies. The security of the database inherits the same difficulties of security facing the information, which is to ensure the integrity, availability and confidentiality. Database management system must provide mechanisms that will assist in this task. SQL databases implement mechanisms that restrict or enable access to data according to profiles or roles provided by the
policy to the secure agent in the endpoint in response to the attack, or a priori for use when communication with the server is severed. 4.1.4 REMOTE POLICY MANAGEMENT A central security management system defines the configuration of the security controls and functions as a form of a security policy for each endpoint. The security policy is communicated to the secure agent that authenticates and enforces the policy at the endpoint. Policies can be modified and updated to the security agent on-demand
denial of service, unauthorized access, modification and exploitation of the corporate network or respective resources. The resources refer to files or computer programs available on the corporate network infrastructure. The infrastructure comprise of corporate software and hardware resources that facilitate communication, connectivity, management and operations within the corporate network. (Vacca, 2014) This infrastructure thus provides a communication path between applications, users, services, processes
security requirements. The technical recommendation for addressing the security requirements in ABC Healthcare network needs a set of controls which include, access controls, audit controls and integrity controls. Access and audit controls ensure how healthcare professionals and other employees access sensitive data such as Electronic Protected Health Information (ePHI), and the process of authentication. Personnel are often targets of social engineering attacks that potentially could result to security
Referencing ISO/IEC 27002 (17799:2005), the major process steps include: risk assessment and treatment, security policy, organization of information security, asset management, human resources security, physical and environmental security, communications and operations management, access control, information systems acquisition, development, and maintenance, information security incident management, business continuity management, and compliance
Sample Information Security Policy I. POLICY A. It is the policy of ORGANIZATION XYZ that information, as defined hereinafter, in all its forms--written, spoken, recorded electronically or printed--will be protected from accidental or intentional unauthorized modification, destruction or disclosure throughout its life cycle. This protection includes an appropriate level of security over the equipment and software used to process, store, and transmit that information. B. All
1. BYOD Security and Control Challenges Challenges using personal devices arise as the popularity of these devices increase by time. A recent survey claim that 69% of employees use their personal mobile/tablet devices to access company networks. The same survey says that even though 86% of employees make efforts to erase all contents from their devices prior to selling them, over 50% still contains big amounts of personal data. Some of the main challenges in BYODs are summarized in the following
