This document discusses various account and password policies in Active Directory, including:
- Domain level policies which are group policy settings that apply to the entire domain. The default domain controller policy sets account policies like password settings.
- Common account policies include password policies, which control password complexity, length and expiration, and account lockout policies, which lock accounts after failed login attempts.
- Specific password policies discussed include minimum password length, complexity requirements, password expiration settings, and whether passwords are stored using reversible encryption. Configuring strong settings for these policies increases security against password cracking attacks.

Some useful Tool
PortalGuard’s Password Management will increase the security of passwords by adding features such as more granular password quality rules, history, expiration and lockout due to incorrect logins. This is especially beneficial for applications failing to meet compliance requirements, such as homegrown web applications or custom SQL user repositories. Administrators can easily manage multiple password policies while users are given usability features such as password meters and password expiration reminders synched with their email client calendar.

A common concern across organizations is that users have too many passwords to man-age, each with a separate management interface to become familiar with. This creates user frustration and increased costs around Help Desk and IT support. Enterprise single sign-on (SSO) is looked at as a solution but for many organizations it proves too costly and many encounter internal resistance due to security concerns.
Password synchronization is a possible midpoint that can ease user frustrations by ena-bling access to different systems using the same password and a single interface. This proves easier to implement than SSO and most solutions can force enrollment and do not require client-side software.
However, organizations have struggled with forgotten passwords as a sticking point with password synchronization as each system must be reset independently.
PortalGuard addresses these challenges by providing a cost-effective, flexible approach to server-based password synchronization plus self-service password reset allowing users to easily manage passwords for multiple systems from a single, consistent interface.

Email Retention Policy
1.0 Purpose
The Email Retention Policy is intended to help employees determine what information sent or received by email should be retained and for how long.
The information covered in these guidelines includes, but is not limited to, information that is either stored or shared via electronic mail or instant messaging technologies.
All employees should familiarize themselves with the email retention topic areas that follow this introduction.
Questions about the proper classification of a specific piece of information should be addressed to your manager. Questions about these guidelines should be addressed to Infosec.
2.0 Scope
This email retention policy is secondary to <Company Name> policy on Freedom of Information and Business Record Keeping. Any email that contains information in the scope of the Business Record Keeping policy should be treated in that manner. All <Company Name> email information is categorized into four main classifications with retention guidelines:
Administrative Correspondence (4 years)
Fiscal Correspondence (4 years)
General Correspondence (1 year)
Ephemeral Correspondence (Retain until read, destroy)
3.0 Policy
3.1 Administrative Correspondence
<Company Name> Administrative Correspondence includes, though is not limited to clarification of established company policy, including holidays, time card information, dress code, work place behavior and any legal issues such as intellectual property violations. All email with the information sensitivity label Management Only shall be treated as Administrative Correspondence. To ensure Administrative Correspondence is retained, a mailbox [email protected]<Company Name> has been created, if you copy (cc) this address when you send email, retention will be administered by the IT Department.
3.2 Fiscal Correspondence
<Company Name> Fiscal Correspondence is all information related to revenue and expense for the company. To ensure Fiscal Correspondence is retained, a mailbox [email protected]<Company Name> has been created, if you copy (cc) this address when you send email, retention will be administered by the IT Department.
3.3 General Correspondence
<Company Name> General Correspondence covers information that relates to customer interaction and the operational decisions of the business. The individual employee is responsible for email retention of General Correspondence.
3.4 Ephemeral Correspondence
<Company Name> Ephemeral Correspondence is by far the largest category and includes personal email, requests for recommendations or review, email related to product development, updates and status reports.
3.5 Instant Messenger Correspondence
<Company Name> Instant Messenger General Correspondence may be saved with logging function of Instant Messenger, or copied into a file and saved. Instant Messenger conversations that are Administrative or Fiscal in nature should be copied into an email message and sent to the appropr.

DevOps and Testing slides at DASA ConnectKari Kakkonen
My and Rik Marselis slides at 30.5.2024 DASA Connect conference. We discuss about what is testing, then what is agile testing and finally what is Testing in DevOps. Finally we had lovely workshop with the participants trying to find out different ways to think about quality and testing in different parts of the DevOps infinity loop.
Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.
A tale of scale & speed: How the US Navy is enabling software delivery from l...sonjaschweigert1
Rapid and secure feature delivery is a goal across every application team and every branch of the DoD. The Navy’s DevSecOps platform, Party Barge, has achieved:
- Reduction in onboarding time from 5 weeks to 1 day
- Improved developer experience and productivity through actionable findings and reduction of false positives
- Maintenance of superior security standards and inherent policy enforcement with Authorization to Operate (ATO)
Development teams can ship efficiently and ensure applications are cyber ready for Navy Authorizing Officials (AOs). In this webinar, Sigma Defense and Anchore will give attendees a look behind the scenes and demo secure pipeline automation and security artifacts that speed up application ATO and time to production.
We will cover:
- How to remove silos in DevSecOps
- How to build efficient development pipeline roles and component templates
- How to deliver security artifacts that matter for ATO’s (SBOMs, vulnerability reports, and policy evidence)
- How to streamline operations with automated policy checks on container images
