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
Introduction: Database security is the system, processes and procedure that protect the database from unauthorized individual or malicious attacks. The researches on database security has been increased gradually over the years as the most of critical business functionalities and military secrets became digitized. Database is an integral part of the information system and often holds the sensitive data. The database have to be protected from external connections like firewalls or routers on the network with
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
and shared electronically and the amount of data contained in these systems continues to grow at an exponential rate. And it allows the users to make critical decisions bases on these data. Considering the importance of data it is essential to secure it Companies success and failure depends o the data “When hackers and malicious insiders gain access to sensitive data, they can quickly extract value, inflict damage, or impact business operations” according to white paper. Therefor, it is also important
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
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
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
able to control, and attack networks and passwords more than ever. As expected, today 's mobile devices--and the relationships to corporations and networks they may connect to—are very capable of being hacked into. In the past few years, the market adoption and utility of mobile devices has expanded tremendously. Yet for every positive development in this market, there is often an associated and secondary risk. For example, while application stores give users never-before-seen ease of access to lots
