This document discusses how regulations like FISMA, HIPAA, and PCI-DSS have increased the importance of log management for organizations. These regulations explicitly require logging of systems and regular log reviews to ensure compliance. Logs provide a record of activity on systems that can be used to investigate security incidents, data breaches, and ensure policy is being followed. The age of compliance has made log management a requirement rather than just a best practice.

Database Auditing Essentials... or... Who did what to which data when and how?
The combination of increasing government regulation and the need for securing corporate data has driven up the need to track who is accessing data in our corporate databases. This presentation discusses these drivers as well as presenting the requirements for auditing data access in corporate databases.
The goal of this presentation is to review the regulations impacting the need to audit, and then to discuss in detail the kinds of things that may need to be audited, along with the several ways of accomplishing this.
Data is an important assets for an enterprise. Data must be protected against loss and destruction. In IT field huge data is being exchanged among multiple people at every moment. During sharing of the data, there are huge chances of data vulnerability, leakage or alteration. So, to prevent these problems, a survey on data leakage detection system has been done. This paper talks about the concept, causes and techniques to detect the data leakage. Businesses processes facts and figures to turn raw data into useful information. This information is used by businesses to generate and improve revenue at every mile stone. Thus, along with data availability and accessibility data security is also very important.

Security Policies and Regulations
In this chapter you will
• Explore the different types of regulations associated with secure software
development
• Learn how security policies impact secure development practices
• Explore legal issues associated with intellectual property protection
• Examine the role of privacy and secure software
• Explore the standards associated with secure software development
• Examine security frameworks that impact secure development
• Learn the role of securing the acquisition lifecycle and its impact on secure
development
Regulations and Compliance
Regulations and compliance drive many activities in an enterprise. The primary
reason behind this is the simple fact that failure to comply with rules and
regulations can lead to direct, and in some cases substantial, financial penalties.
Compliance failures can carry additional costs, as in increased scrutiny, greater
regulation in the future, and bad publicity. Since software is a major driver of
many business processes, a CSSLP needs to understand the basis behind various
rules and regulations and how they affect the enterprise in the context of their
own development efforts. This enables decision making as part of the software
development process that is in concert with these issues and enables the
enterprise to remain compliant.
Much has been said about how compliance is not the same as security. In a
sense, this is true, for one can be compliant and still be insecure. When viewed
from a risk management point of view, security is an exercise in risk
management, and so are compliance and other hazards. Add it all together, and
you get an “all hazards” approach, which is popular in many industries, as senior
management is responsible for all hazards and the residual risk from all risk
sources.
Regulations can come from several sources, including industry and trade
groups and government agencies. The penalties for noncompliance can vary as
well, sometimes based on the severity of the violation and other times based on
political factors. The factors determining which systems are included in
regulation and the level of regulation also vary based on situational factors.
Typically, these factors and rules are published significantly in advance of
instantiation to allow firms time to plan enterprise controls and optimize risk
management options. Although not all firms will be affected by all sets of
regulations, it is also not uncommon for a firm to have multiple sets of
regulations across different aspects of an enterprise, even overlapping on some
elements. This can add to the difficulty of managing compliance, as different
regulations can have different levels of protection requirements.
Many development efforts may have multiple regulatory impacts, and

Audit Requirements for Finance Systems (Sarbanes-Oxley, GLBA Compliance)
Introduction
When considering audit requirements for finance system, the right place to start to make this examination will be to consider the Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) Act. This act was developed and enacted as a result of turmoil in the US corporate world. At this time Enron and WorldCom experienced a very public collapse causing investors to loose billions of dollars not to mention them loosing fundamental trust in US corporations. With the downfall of Arthur Anderson – one of the largest public accounting firms in the US, it was clear that the need address the emerging challenges in corporate governance. .
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act was thus a response aimed at restoring and renewing investor trust in addition to them understanding public corporation financial reporting in order to achieve reports that were reliable and useful. This is indeed capture in section 302 – Corporate responsibility for financial reports, and section 404 – management assessment of internal controls. These sections empowered and make gate keepers central to the generation of truthful and factual reports by public organisation. The top leadership could no longer get away with claiming that they did not know. They were personally and individually responsible for the integrity of the public organizations reported financial information.Research Summary for the Selected Policy Topic
The requirement for US corporations to comply with SOX requirements is meant to ensure that they achieve accuracy, integrity and security specifically with respect to financial information that is in their domain. To achieve this, the systems espoused and enforced by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act rely heavily on ‘gate keepers’. This was meant to ensure the people at the very top of the organisation take personal responsibility to ensure is truthful and accurate with regards to the information being relayed.
Compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley act by corporations is determined by examination of SOX compliance audit reports. These reports are generated as a result of automation of SOX 302 and 404. With this, the need to ensure compliance of the system in securing corporate network security, incessant monitoring of the network with responses and/or alerts with regards to unauthorized and authorized data access and systems integrity has become critical. It is a self defeating act to wait until the end of the financial period to address these reports. Thus IT allows a daily and timely generation of reports to allow for a swift and judicious intervention where gaps or loop holes are identified or found.
To circumvent the monotony that can be synonymous with managing and analyzing daily log in deta.
C RITICAL A SSESSMENT OF A UDITING C ONTRIBUTIONS T O E FFECTIVE AND E FF...csandit
Database auditing has become a very crucial aspect
of security as organisations increase their
adoption of database management systems (DBMS) as m
ajor asset that keeps, maintain and
monitor sensitive information. Database auditing is
the group of activities involved in observing
a set of stored data in order to be aware of the ac
tions of users. The work presented here
outlines the main auditing techniques and methods.
Some architectural based auditing systems
were also considered to assess the contribution of
auditing to database security. Here a
framework of several stages to be used in the insti
gation of auditing is proposed. Some issues
relating to handling of audit trails are also discu
ssed in this paper. This paper also itemizes
some of the key important impacts of the concept to
security and how compliance with
government policies and regulations is enforced thr
ough auditing. Once the framework is
adopted, it will provide support to database audito
rs and DBAs.

IT governance is the processes that ensure the effective and efficient use of IT in enabling an organization to achieve its goals. In the eCommerce industry, IT governance develop structure by characterizing hierarchical detailing lines, oversight advisory groups, standards, approaches, and procedures. A well-characterized structure viably sets the working limits for the association (Moeller, 2017). It additionally sets guidelines by making or lining up with the corporate procedure and characterizing the short and long haul objectives for the association. In the eCommerce industry, it is important to note how the regulations are followed, how standards are followed by the process managers, how planning for the capacity of servers should be done, ensure all the IT assets are tracked, etc. This internal function that is self-checking the “health status” of the various process to ensure the smoother function is Governance. Comment by Michael Baker: Recommend subtitles that match rubric
IT management is overseeing IT services or innovation in an organization. It has several elements, all of which focus on aligning IT goals with business objectives in a way that creates the most value of an organization. These components are IT strategy, IT service and IT asset. Some of IT management issues faced by an eCommerce company include ways to secure customers information, providing value to the company, as well as supporting business operations. To address IT management challenges faced in eCommerce, IT policies must be put in place to define various processes within the organization. A policy is a set of guidelines that define how things are done within an organization. With a well-defined policy, activities in the eCommerce industry are well outlined and making it easy to operate.
Risk Management is the process used to identify, evaluate and respond to possible accidental losses in situations where the only possible outcomes are losses or no change in the status. It is an overall administration function that tries to evaluate and address the circumstances and end results of vulnerability and threat to an association (Susmann & Braman, 2016). The aim of threat management is to empower an association to advance towards its objectives and goals in the most immediate, proficient, and viable way. Risk management issues faced by an eCommerce company are loss of data, unauthorized access of data as well as system failure. To address risk management in the eCommerce industry, a comprehensive risk management plan must be developed to address possible risks that might cause harm to the system. A good risk management plan provides procedures as well as guideline on how to respond to threats and also unforeseen incidents. By having a well-laid plan, the ...

SOC Meets Cloud: What Breaks, What Changes, What to Do?
originally presented at Mandiant mWise 2023 by Dr Anton Chuvakin of Google Cloud Office of the CISO
Cloud changes everything (does it though?), including how we do threat detection and incident response in the SOC. As we continue to transform our attack surfaces, how do we make sure our detection and response are done "the cloud way"? There were also cases where both business and IT migrated to the cloud, but security was left behind and had to approach cloud challenges with on-premise tools and practices. How should a SOC born before cloud deal with cloud? What to watch for? What changes? What breaks? What stays the same?

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Log Management in the Age of Compliance
1. Log Management in the Age of Compliance
Dr. Anton Chuvakin
WRITTEN: 2007
DISCLAIMER:
Security is a rapidly changing field of human endeavor. Threats we face literally
change every day; moreover, many security professionals consider the rate of
change to be accelerating. On top of that, to be able to stay in touch with such
ever-changing reality, one has to evolve with the space as well. Thus, even
though I hope that this document will be useful for to my readers, please keep in
mind that is was possibly written years ago. Also, keep in mind that some of the
URL might have gone 404, please Google around.
With each publicized data breach (TJ Maxx, U.S. Department of Agriculture) or new regulation
security emphasis seems to shift away from the traditional “keep bad guys out” mentality and
towards the “what’s going on in here?” layered, in-depth look at IT activity.
As such, organizations are turning to logs to provide a continuous fingerprint of everything that
happens with their IT systems and, more importantly, with their data. Logs of different types are
generated from different sources at an astounding rate, allowing for a detailed –if sometimes
cloudy - picture of IT activity. If a disgruntled employee accesses a database containing
confidential information with the intent to steal the data, there would likely be a log of that
activity that someone could review to determine the who’s, what’s, and when’s. Logs provide
the bread crumbs that organizations can use to follow the paths of all of their users, mal-
intentioned or not.
It follows that managing these logs can benefit an organization in many ways. They offer
situational awareness, help organizations pinpoint new threats as well as allow their effective
investigation. Routine log reviews and more in-depth analysis of stored logs are beneficial for
identifying security incidents, policy violations, fraudulent activity, and operational problems
shortly after they have occurred, and for providing information useful for resolving such
problems.
Given the inherent benefits of log management, it is not surprising that log data collection and
analysis is generally considered a security industry “best practice.” However, a number of
regulations also explicitly call for the collection, storage, maintenance, and review of logs in
order for companies to be compliant, turning log management from a “should do” to a “must
do.” Some of these regulations rely on National Institute of Standards and Technology
Computer Security Special Publications (NIST SP) in order to delineate the detailed logging
requirements.
In my last article (link), I described the way in which 3 regulations (FISMA, HIPAA, and PCI-
DSS) affect incident response processes. This triumvirate also affects log management, as they
call for enabling logging as well as for log review.
2. The Federal Information Security Management Act of 2002 (FISMA)
While many criticize FISMA for being ‘all documentation and no action’, the law simply
emphasizes the need for each Federal agency to develop, document, and implement an
organization-wide program to secure the information systems that support its operations and
assets. NIST SP 800-53, Recommended Security Controls for Federal Information Systems,
describes log management controls including the generation, review, protection, and
retention of audit records, and steps to take in the event of audit failure. NIST 800-92, Guide
to Computer Security Log Management, also is created to simplify FISMA compliance, is
fully devoted to log management, and describes a broad the need for log management in
federal agencies and ways to establish and maintain successful and efficient log management
infrastructures (including log generation, analysis, storage, and monitoring). NIST 800-92
discusses the importance of analyzing different kinds of logs from different sources and of
clearly defining specific roles and responsibilities of those teams and individuals involved in
log management. Importantly, section 4.2 highlights the need for organization to clearly
define its policy requirements (based on the appropriate regulations) for performing logging
and monitoring logs, including log generation, transmission, storage, and disposal as well as
explicit protections for these logs.
HIPAA
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) outlines relevant
security standards for health information. NIST SP 800-66, An Introductory Resource Guide
for Implementing the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) Security
Rule, details HIPAA-related log management needs in the context of securing electronic
protected health information. Section 4.1 of NIST 800-66 describes the need for regular
review of information system activity, such as audit logs, access reports, and security
incident tracking reports. Also, Section 4.22 specifies that documentation of actions and
activities need to be retained for at least six years. While the debate about whether logs can
be considered documents is not finished, some organizations did choose to store logs for as
long as other business documents. In addition, Appendix A of this document encourages
organizations to ask a variety of log-related questions, including whether or not system
performance monitoring is used t o analyze system performance logs in real time in order to
spot availability problems like active attacks.
PCI DSS
The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), which applies to
organizations that handle credit card transactions, mandates logging specific details and log
review procedures to prevent credit card fraud, hacking, and other related security issues in
companies that store, process, or transmit credit card data. Even though logging is present in
all PCI requirements, PCI DSS also contains Requirement 10, which is dedicated to logging
and log management. Under this requirement, logs for all system components must be
reviewed at least daily, and these log reviews must include servers that perform security
functions (e.g. intrusion detection system and authentication, authorization, and accounting
protocol servers. Further, PCI DSS states that the organization must ensure the integrity of
their logs by implementing file integrity monitoring and change detection software on logs to
3. insure that existing log data can not be changed without generating alerts. It also prescribes
that logs from in-scope systems are stored for at least one year.
There are also a variety of other regulations that call for log management capabilities,
although less explicitly than the aforementioned three. California Bill 1386 and its upcoming
federal equivalent, for example, requires a state agency, person, or business that owns or
licenses computerized data that includes personal information, to disclose any breach of the
security of the data to any California resident whose unencrypted personal information was
acquired by an unauthorized person. Logs, by nature of allowing for tracking IT
infrastructure activity, are the best way to assess if, how, when, and where a data breach has
occurred, so management of these logs would be the best way to assess what data has been
accessed/stolen and, thus, who needs to be notified.
The major effect the age of compliance has had on log management is to turn it into a
requirement rather than just a recommendation, and this change is certainly to the advantage
of any enterprise subject to one of those regulations. It is easy to see why log collection and
management is important, and the explicit inclusion of log management activities in major
regulations like FISMA, HIPAA, and PCI DSS highlights how key it truly is to enterprise
security as well as broader risk management needs.
