CHAPTER 9
Design Considerations
In this chapter you will
• Examine how to design security into an application using core security concepts
• Learn the roles of confidentiality, integrity, and availability with respect to
designing in information security principles
• Explore designing in security elements using authentication, authorization, and
auditing
• Explore how to use secure design principles to improve application security
• Learn how interconnectivity provides opportunities to design in security
elements
Designing an application is the beginning of implementing security into the final
application. Using the information uncovered in the requirements phase,
designers create the blueprint developers use to arrive at the final product. It is
during this phase that the foundational elements to build the proper security
functionality into the application are initiated. To determine which security
elements are needed in the application, designers can use the information from
the attack surface analysis and the threat model to determine the “what” and
“where” elements. Knowledge of secure design principles can provide the “how”
elements. Using this information in a comprehensive plan can provide developers
with a targeted foundation that will greatly assist in creating a secure application.
Application of Methods to Address Core Security Concepts
In Chapter 1, we explored the basic principles of security. In this chapter, we will
examine how to design in security by utilizing these concepts. The concepts of
confidentiality, integrity, and availability, widely lauded as the key elements of
information security, do not happen by accident—they must be designed into the
application to be effective and to provide specific protections.
Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability
The principles of confidentiality, integrity, and availability are commonly used in
information security discussions. For these elements to be effective in an
application, they need to be designed into the application during the design
phase. This is done by using tools such as encryption, hashing, and recovery
methods. Encryption can preserve confidentiality by making information
unavailable to unauthorized parties. Integrity can be ensured through the use of
hash codes. Designing in proper recovery methods provides for a more resilient
application that can support higher availability.
Confidentiality
Confidentiality is the concept of preventing the disclosure of information to
unauthorized parties. Keeping secrets secret is the core concept of confidentiality.
One of the key elements in the design phase is determining what elements need
to be kept secret. The threat model will identify those elements. The next aspect is
to examine the state of the data that is to be kept confidential. If the data is at rest,
then encryption can be used to restrict access to authorized users. If the data is in
transit, t ...
How do we get a SOC 2?” Do those words strike fear and anxiety into your heart as an infosec professional? Do you have visions of being buried under a mountain of fancy risk management software, endless numbers of spreadsheets, and losing sleep for weeks implementing complex audit logging software? Well, take a deep breath and join this talk, in which we break down how to achieve SOC 2 Type II compliance without losing your mind. Your guide today has led many companies of various sizes- but mostly tiny startups- through several years of successful SOC 2 audits, and is here to break it all down. Bring your notebook as we explain why and how.
This talk will not focus on endless checkboxes, or push compliance at the expense of security. Instead, it will be a real world view of how to achieve compliance audit success without wasting your time, creating busy work, undoing your hard work securing your users’ data, and building a resilient architecture. We’ll explore how to automate, what to automate, how to build a control set that fits your organization, and how to come out the SOC 2 hero.
The document discusses the importance of policy in defining an organization's security scope and expectations. It provides examples of key policies around information, security, computer and internet use, and procedures for user management, backups, incident response and disaster recovery. Effective policy creation involves risk assessment, stakeholder input, and regular review to ensure ongoing relevance. Deployment requires security awareness training and compliance audits.
We are FixNix, born on a vision to democratize the Governance, Risk and Compliance(GRC) vertical. GRC is a very niche area and there are very few companies doing this in market. Within one year of inception, we have cracked Microsoft Bizspark Challenge and IEEE Best Cloud Startup awards.
We master in developing mature and tailored GRC solutions and offer them as a SaaS model. We have launched our product before 6 months and we are successful by achieving enterprise clients like Cipla, Mphasis, GMR, E&Y with on-premise deployments and a couple of SMBs with SaaS sign ups.

The document discusses vulnerabilities in websites and provides an overview of penetration testing methodology. It acknowledges that websites can be targeted by malicious users looking to access information. The document then summarizes the OWASP Top 10 list of common vulnerabilities, including injection, authentication failures, cross-site scripting, insecure object references, improper security configurations, sensitive data exposure, lack of access controls, CSRF, use of known vulnerable components, and invalid redirects/forwards. It also outlines the phases of penetration testing including planning, reconnaissance, scanning, exploitation, and documentation. The goal is to encourage organizations to better understand and manage web application security.

application to be effective and to provide specific protections.
Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability
The principles of confidentiality, integrity, and availability are commonly used in
information security discussions. For these elements to be effective in an
application, they need to be designed into the application during the design
phase. This is done by using tools such as encryption, hashing, and recovery
methods. Encryption can preserve confidentiality by making information
unavailable to unauthorized parties. Integrity can be ensured through the use of
hash codes. Designing in proper recovery methods provides for a more resilient
application that can support higher availability.
Confidentiality
Confidentiality is the concept of preventing the disclosure of information to
unauthorized parties. Keeping secrets secret is the core concept of confidentiality.
One of the key elements in the design phase is determining what elements need
to be kept secret. The threat model will identify those elements. The next aspect is
to examine the state of the data that is to be kept confidential. If the data is at rest,
then encryption can be used to restrict access to authorized users. If the data is in
transit, t ...

Comparative analysis between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquapon...bijceesjournal
The aquaponic system of planting is a method that does not require soil usage. It is a method that only needs water, fish, lava rocks (a substitute for soil), and plants. Aquaponic systems are sustainable and environmentally friendly. Its use not only helps to plant in small spaces but also helps reduce artificial chemical use and minimizes excess water use, as aquaponics consumes 90% less water than soil-based gardening. The study applied a descriptive and experimental design to assess and compare conventional and reconstructed aquaponic methods for reproducing tomatoes. The researchers created an observation checklist to determine the significant factors of the study. The study aims to determine the significant difference between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquaponics systems propagating tomatoes in terms of height, weight, girth, and number of fruits. The reconstructed aquaponics system’s higher growth yield results in a much more nourished crop than the traditional aquaponics system. It is superior in its number of fruits, height, weight, and girth measurement. Moreover, the reconstructed aquaponics system is proven to eliminate all the hindrances present in the traditional aquaponics system, which are overcrowding of fish, algae growth, pest problems, contaminated water, and dead fish.

DEEP LEARNING FOR SMART GRID INTRUSION DETECTION: A HYBRID CNN-LSTM-BASED MODELgerogepatton
As digital technology becomes more deeply embedded in power systems, protecting the communication
networks of Smart Grids (SG) has emerged as a critical concern. Distributed Network Protocol 3 (DNP3)
represents a multi-tiered application layer protocol extensively utilized in Supervisory Control and Data
Acquisition (SCADA)-based smart grids to facilitate real-time data gathering and control functionalities.
Robust Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) are necessary for early threat detection and mitigation because
of the interconnection of these networks, which makes them vulnerable to a variety of cyberattacks. To
solve this issue, this paper develops a hybrid Deep Learning (DL) model specifically designed for intrusion
detection in smart grids. The proposed approach is a combination of the Convolutional Neural Network
(CNN) and the Long-Short-Term Memory algorithms (LSTM). We employed a recent intrusion detection
dataset (DNP3), which focuses on unauthorized commands and Denial of Service (DoS) cyberattacks, to
train and test our model. The results of our experiments show that our CNN-LSTM method is much better
at finding smart grid intrusions than other deep learning algorithms used for classification. In addition,
our proposed approach improves accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score, achieving a high detection
accuracy rate of 99.50%.

This paper describes a speed control device for generating electrical energy on an electricity network based on the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) used for wind power conversion systems. At first, a double-fed induction generator model was constructed. A control law is formulated to govern the flow of energy between the stator of a DFIG and the energy network using three types of controllers: proportional integral (PI), sliding mode controller (SMC) and second order sliding mode controller (SOSMC). Their different results in terms of power reference tracking, reaction to unexpected speed fluctuations, sensitivity to perturbations, and resilience against machine parameter alterations are compared. MATLAB/Simulink was used to conduct the simulations for the preceding study. Multiple simulations have shown very satisfying results, and the investigations demonstrate the efficacy and power-enhancing capabilities of the suggested control system.

Embedded machine learning-based road conditions and driving behavior monitoringIJECEIAES
Car accident rates have increased in recent years, resulting in losses in human lives, properties, and other financial costs. An embedded machine learning-based system is developed to address this critical issue. The system can monitor road conditions, detect driving patterns, and identify aggressive driving behaviors. The system is based on neural networks trained on a comprehensive dataset of driving events, driving styles, and road conditions. The system effectively detects potential risks and helps mitigate the frequency and impact of accidents. The primary goal is to ensure the safety of drivers and vehicles. Collecting data involved gathering information on three key road events: normal street and normal drive, speed bumps, circular yellow speed bumps, and three aggressive driving actions: sudden start, sudden stop, and sudden entry. The gathered data is processed and analyzed using a machine learning system designed for limited power and memory devices. The developed system resulted in 91.9% accuracy, 93.6% precision, and 92% recall. The achieved inference time on an Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense with a 32-bit CPU running at 64 MHz is 34 ms and requires 2.6 kB peak RAM and 139.9 kB program flash memory, making it suitable for resource-constrained embedded systems.

ABSTRACT
To safeguard Windows it’s required a successful deployment of Group Policy,
which depends on Active Directory and is the primary means for securing servers
and desktop environments. Group Policy can define the status of the work
environment of users and computers allowing recovery services, securities
registration, account policies, group memberships and other features of machines
on the network. Provide to administrators a high degree of administrative control
over users and computers on the network. The main objective of this article is to
give you ways of how security policies, through Group Policy allow to define the
procedures for configuring and managing security to computing environment.

INTRODUCTION
Group Policy is implemented in Windows Server since its inception infrastructure,
which allows you to specify managed for users and computers through Group
Policy settings and policy preferences settings. You can manage your settings and
preferences in an environment of Domain Services Active Directory through the
Management Console Group Policy Management (GPMC).
Group Policy is an infrastructure that allows to implement specific configurations for
users and computers. Unfortunately, these guidelines are not easy to implement,
since they are linked to Active Directory containers and therefore users must first
know this tool.
This article aims to IT professionals and general users to understand the
characteristics of security auditing in Windows and how your organization can
benefit from using these technologies to enhance security and network
administration.

Security Auditing Overview
Feature description
Security auditing is a powerful tool to help maintain the security of an enterprise.
Auditing can be used for a variety of purposes, including forensic analysis,
regulatory compliance, monitoring user activity, and troubleshooting. Industry
regulations in various countries or regions require enterprises to implement a strict
set of rules related to data security and privacy. Security audits can help implement
such policies and prove that these policies have been implemented. Also, security
auditing can be used for forensic analysis, to help administrators detect anomalous
behavior, to identify and mitigate gaps in security policies, and to deter
irresponsible behavior by tracking critical user activities.
Managing security auditing
To use security auditing, you need to configure the system access control list
(SACL) for an object, and apply the appropriate security audit policy to the user or
computer. For more information, see Managing Security Auditing.
(http://technet.microsoft.com/library/cc771475.aspx).
6. Administración y Seguridad en Windows Server 6
AUDIT GUIDELINES
Before implementing an audit, you must decide on an audit. An audit policy
specifies the categories of security-related events you want to audit. When this
version of Windows is first installed, all audit categories are disabled. Enabling
several categories of audit events, you can deploy an adequate audit to the
security needs of your organization.
Event categories you can choose to audit are:
Audit logon events account
Audit account management
Audit directory service access
Audit logon events
Audit object access
Audit policy change
Audit privilege use
Audit process tracking
Audit system events
If you choose to audit access to objects as part of your audit, you must enable the
category Audit directory service access (for audit objects in a domain controller) or
category Audit object access (to audit objects a member server or workstation).
After you enable the Object Access category, you can specify the types of access
you want to audit for each group or user.
To enable auditing of local objects, you must be logged as member of the
predefined administrator accounts.
7. Administración y Seguridad en Windows Server 7
CONFIGURATION SET OR CHANGE OF DIRECTORS OF A CATEGORY EVENT.
When defining auditing settings for specific event categories, you can create a
proper audit for security needs of your organization. On servers and work stations
member who join a domain, configuration audit event categories are not defined by
default. On domain controllers, auditing is enabled by default.
To set or change the configuration of the audit policy for a category of
events on the local computer
1. Open the Local Security Policy snap-in and select Local Policies.
2. In the console tree, click Audit Policy.
Where?
Security Settings / Local Policies / Audit Policies
3. In the results pane, double-click an event category for which you want to
modify the audit policy setting.
4. Perform one of the following, or both, and click OK.
To audit successful attempts, select the Success check box.
To audit unsuccessful attempts, select the Failed check box
ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS
To open Microsoft Management Console using the Windows interface, click
Start, in the Start Search text box, type mmc, and then press ENTER.
To audit access to objects, enable auditing of the category of object access
events following the steps above. Next, enable auditing specific object.
After configuring the audit, the events are stored in the security log. Open
the Security log to view these events.
The default configuration of the audit policy for domain controllers is No
Auditing. That means that even if auditing is enabled in the domain, domain
controllers do not inherit auditing policy locally. If you want the audit policy to
apply to domain controllers, you must modify this policy setting.
8. Administración y Seguridad en Windows Server 8
APPLY OR MODIFY THE SETTING OF DIRECTORS AUDIT OF A STOCK OR A
LOCAL FOLDER.
To apply or modify auditing policy settings for a local file or
folder.
1. - Open Windows Explorer.
2. - Click the right mouse button on the file or folder you want to audit, click
Properties, then click the Security tab.
3. - Click Edit, and then click Advanced. (If not logged in as a member of the
Administrators group on this computer, you must provide administrative credentials to continue).
4. - The box for Advanced Security Settings dialog <object> click the Auditing
tab.
5. - Do one of the following steps:
To configure auditing for a user or group, click Add. In Enter the object
name to select, type the name of the user or group you want, and then click
OK.
To remove auditing for an existing group or user, click on their name, click
Remove, click OK, and then skip the rest of this procedure.
To view or change auditing for an existing group or user, click on his name
and then click Edit.
6.- In the Apply onto box, click the location where you want the audit is
conducted.
7. - In the Access box, indicate what actions you want to audit to do so, check the
appropriate boxes:
To audit successful events, select the Success check box.
To stop auditing successful events, clear the Success check box.
To audit unsuccessful events, select the Failed check box.
To stop auditing unsuccessful events, clear the Failed check box.
To stop auditing all events, click Clear All.
8. - If you want to prevent files and subfolders of the original object from inheriting
these audit entries, select the Apply these auditing entries to objects and / or
containers within this container only check box.
9. Administración y Seguridad en Windows Server 9
Important: Before you configure auditing of files and folders, you must enable Audit
object access; to do this, set the audit policy setting for the category of object
access events. If you do not enable the Audit object access, an error message to
set up auditing for files and folders appear, and no files or folders are audited.
Additional Considerations
You must be logged on as a member of the Administrators group or you
must have been granted the right to Manage auditing and security in
Group Policy to perform this procedure.
To open Windows Explorer, click Start, point to All Programs, click
Accessories, and then click Windows Explorer.
After you enable auditing of object access, see the Security log in Event
Viewer to check the result of the changes.
You can only configure auditing of files and folders on NTFS drives.
If you notice any of the following situations, the audit has been inherited
from the parent folder:
o Check the box to audit Folder> file> or dialogue in the Access box,
the boxes are not available.
o In the box for Advanced Security Settings dialog file> or Folder>,
the Remove button is unavailable.
Because the security log is limited in size, select the files and folders to be
audited. Also consider the amount of disk space you want to devote to the
security log. The maximum size of the security log is defined in Event
Viewer.
10. Administración y Seguridad en Windows Server
10
SAFETY CHECK REGISTER
The security log records every event as defined in audit policies established in
each object.
To view the security log
1. - Open the event viewer.
2. - In the console tree, open Global Records, and then click Security. The
results pane lists individual security events.
3. - If you want more details about a specific event, double-click the event in
the results pane.
Additional Considerations
To open Event Viewer, click Start, Control Panel, System and
Maintenance, double-click Administrative Tools, and then double-click
Event Viewer.
If the computer is connected to a network, it is likely that the network policy
settings prevent you from performing the procedure.

RESULTS
With this research we tried to understand more about Group Policy, one of the
tools that can be used in order to have more effective in the field of security
settings in Windows Server Administration.
This topic is of great importance because the Server Administrator Windows
Server 2008 enables you to view and manage almost all the information and tools
that affect the productivity of a server.
Server Manager increases the efficiency of server administration, since a single
tool (Group Policy) allows administrators to:
View and modify the functions and features installed on the server.
Perform administrative tasks associated with the operational lifecycle of the
server.
Determine server status, identify critical events, and analyze configuration
errors.
Install or remove roles, role services, and features.
The process to implement a Group Policy solution involves planning, design,
implement and manage the solution.
During the design phase:
Define the scope of Group Policy.
Determine the values of policy settings that apply to all corporate users.
Classify users and equipment according to their functions and locations.
Plan desktop configurations depending on the requirements of users and
computers.
12. Administración y Seguridad en Windows Server
12
A well-planned design will help ensure a successful deployment of Group
Policy.
The implementation phase begins with an essay in a test environment. The
process includes:
Creating standard desktop configurations.
Filter the scope of Group Policy objects.
Specifying exceptions to default inheritance of Group Policy.
Delegating administration of Group Policy.
Evaluation of effective policy settings using Group Policy Modeling.
Evaluation of results using Group Policy Results.
Use of a technique for searching for information was made, this technique is known
as an exact phrase, because this is to locate key words or keywords, then locates
documents containing the word to start.
13. Administración y Seguridad en Windows Server

DISCUSSION OF RESULTS
Try conscientiously implement Group Policy in a test environment before deploying
it in a production environment. Consider an iterative implementation of Group
Policy: Instead of implementing settings 100 new Group Policy, first try and
implement some values only to validate that the infrastructure of the Group Policy
is working correctly.
Finally, be prepared to maintain Group Policy setting control procedures for
working with objects.
Before designing the implementation of Group Policy, you must understand the
current organizational environment and perform some preparatory steps in the
following areas:
Active Directory: make sure the design of organizational units in Active Directory
for all domains in the forest supports the application of Group Policy. For more
information, see about designing an OU structure.
Red: Make sure that the network meets the requirements of technology change
management and configuration. For example, since the group policy works only
with fully qualified domain names, the Directory Name Service (DNS) must be
running in the forest in order to process the group policy correctly.
Security: Get a list of security groups that are currently in use in the domain. Work
with security administrators, as it delegates the responsibility for the administration
of the OU.
IT Requirements: Get a list of administrative owners and corporate standards
administrative domains and OUs in the domain. This will develop a good plan of
delegation and ensure that Group Policy is inherited correctly.
