If your computer uses the Windows XP operating system, pay close attention: Microsoft will be ending support for Windows XP on April 8, 2014. Many workers believe Windows XP works just fine, since 1 in 5 people still use the operating system. After all, the failure of the Windows Vista operating system, launched in 2006, with its security and incompatibility issues, reinforced the view of sticking with the tried and true XP. However, the upgrade to a supported operating system, such as Windows 7 or 8, is very necessary for maintaining the security of company computing environments.

Part 3 ApplicationEnd-User Security Recommendations.docxdanhaley45372
Part 3: Application/End-User Security Recommendations
Introduction
A robust network security strategy is one that actively involves the entire stakeholders of the system. The network administrator has the responsibility of ensuring that best practices in information security management are implemented throughout the entirety of the system they oversee. Threats to a system exist both within and outside an organization. This necessitates the need for a comprehensive security strategy that can cover all those potential threats. Information security threats are of a dynamic nature and the network administrator should take this consideration to ensure that they are always on top of any emerging threats. System vulnerabilities should be sought and effectively sealed and this should be a regular task.
End User Security Recommendations
Best practice in network security will require that the users and the firm abide by the following:
• Training and awareness – all employees of the company should have a firm grasp of matters pertaining network security. This will come through the training that should be offered by the company. The training should involve how to spot and identify threats, how to combat them, and how to handle them should they occur. As new threats emerge, the firm will need to create a continuous awareness program to inform its employees on them.
• Effective monitoring program – even after training has been done, this is not reason enough to believe employees will adhere to the lessons learnt. As such, the IT personnel should be empowered to conduct random checks on the security behavior of the firm’s employees. This will help in identifying potential weak spots.
• Unique user credentials – each and every employee that has been granted use of computer resources should do so with their own unique username and a password that should not be shared with any other user. The password should be complex enough that no one could possibly guess. The user should avoid using passwords from familiar objects or people. A strong password should have a mix of alphanumeric and special characters. For every activity a user does on any computer, they will be required to use their own unique credentials. This should leave an audit that can be followed should there be an incident.
• Automatic logoff – it is possible that a user might leave a computer without logging out from their session. This opens the possibility that another user might access resources using the logged in credentials. This could be devastating should the unauthorized have malicious intent and the logged on credentials have advanced permissions. Automatic logoff should be set to happen after a given period of time. This should especially happen after the end of prescribed business hours.
• Regular event log audits – event logs are very important when it comes to monitoring the performance of a given system. They can also be used to spot any anomalies within the system. Event log.
This document provides a comprehensive checklist to help create or audit an IT security policy. The checklist covers a wide variety of topics including web browsing, usernames/passwords, email, file access permissions, backups, disaster recovery, physical security, and security for PCs/laptops. For each topic, it lists key planning items and considerations to develop a thorough policy that protects organizational assets and data.

Detailed Description:
Large enterprises of a thousand persons or more often have distinctly distinct data security architectures than lesser businesses. Typically they treat their data security as if they were still little companies.
This paper endeavors to demonstrate that not only do large businesses have an entire ecology of focused programs, specific to large businesses and their needs, but that this software has distinct security implications than buyer or small enterprise software. identifying these dissimilarities, and analyzing the way this can be taken advantage of by an attacker, is the key to both striking and keeping safe a large enterprise.
The Web applications are the important part of your business every day, they help you handle your intellectual property, increase your sales, and keep the trust of your customers. But there's the problem that applications re fast becoming the preferred attack vector of hackers. For this you really need something that makes your application secure.
And, with the persistent condition of today's attacks, applications can easily be get infected when security is not considered and scoped into each phase of the software development life cycle, from design to development to testing and ongoing maintenance of the application. When you take a holistic approach to your application security, you actually enhance your ability to produce and manage stable, secure applications. Applications need training and testing from the leading team of ethical hackers, for this there should be an authentic plan to recover these issues that can help an organization to plan, test, build and run applications smartly and safely.
Large enterprises of a thousand people or even more have distinctly different information security architectures than many other smaller companies. Actually, they treat their information security as if they were still small companies.
We are going to discuss some attempts to demonstrate that not only do large companies have an entire ecology of specialized software, specific to large companies and their needs, but that this software has different security implications than consumer or small business software for the applications. Recognizing these differences, and examining the way this can be taken advantage of by an attacker, is the key to both attacking and defending a large enterprise. It’s really important to cover up the security procedures in the large enterprise.

Gartner predicted that by the end of 2019, 90% of enterprise internet connections would be secured by next-generation firewalls. The document outlines key requirements for next-generation firewalls including identifying applications regardless of port or encryption, identifying users regardless of device or IP address, decrypting encrypted traffic, and protecting against known and unknown threats in real time with predictable multi-gigabit throughput. It discusses the need to close dangerous policy gaps left by legacy firewalls and the evolution of threats that exploit encryption to avoid detection.
5 ways to strengthen cybersecurity in the workplaceSameerShaik43
It’s a no-brainer that most organisations nowadays rely more on the internet for critical operations. With this heavy reliance comes the risk of cyber threats. In a real-life situation, you can compare this with a city or town setting. With more crowds on the streets, your security risks increase.

A firewall monitors and controls incoming and outgoing network traffic based on security rules, acting as a barrier between trusted and untrusted networks. There are various types of firewalls including packet filters, proxy firewalls, application-layer firewalls, and stateful firewalls. Successful firewall implementation involves defining security needs, researching solutions that meet those needs, and properly installing, configuring, and maintaining the chosen firewall.
The document describes Fortinet's Cyber Threat Assessment Program which provides a free assessment of a network's security accuracy, application usage, and performance. An expert will monitor the network using a FortiGate device for several days. A report will then be provided that analyzes the network's security and threat prevention effectiveness, user productivity in terms of application usage, and network utilization and performance to ensure it is optimized. The assessment aims to provide insight into an organization's current security posture and network activity.
Cyberoam offers next-generation firewall and UTM firewall that provide stateful and deep packet inspection for network, application and user identity-based security. Cyberoam firewall appliances provide ease of management and high security with flexibility.
This presentation discusses different types of firewalls and their functions. It begins by defining a firewall as a device or software that controls incoming and outgoing network traffic based on security rules. It then discusses hardware and software firewalls, with hardware firewalls protecting entire networks at the router level while software firewalls protect individual computers. The presentation also covers four main types of firewall techniques: packet filtering, application proxy, stateful inspection, and circuit-level gateways. It concludes by stating that while firewalls provide important security, no single tool can handle all security functions on its own.
A firewall acts as a barrier between the organisational network and the internet. It helps to filter the incoming and outgoing data by scanning the data. A firewall restricts the entry of malicious content. It follows a set of configured rules to determine the nature of the data, whether it is authorised or not.

In computer security, a vulnerability is a weakness which allows an attacker to reduce a system\'s
information assurance. Vulnerability is the intersection of three elements: a system susceptibility
or flaw, attacker access to the flaw, and attacker capability to exploit the flaw.[1] To exploit a
vulnerability, an attacker must have at least one applicable tool or technique that can connect to a
system weakness. In this frame, vulnerability is also known as the attack surface.
Vulnerabilities are flaws in computer software that create weaknesses in your computer or
network’s overall security. Vulnerabilities can also be created by improper computer or security
configurations. Threats exploit the weaknesses of vulnerabilities, resulting in potential damage to
the computer or its data.
The impact of a security breach can be very high. The fact that IT managers, or upper
management, can (easily) know that IT systems and applications have vulnerabilities and do not
perform any action to manage the IT risk is seen as a misconduct in most legislations.
Intrusion detection system is an example of a class of systems used to detect attacks. Some sets
of criteria to be satisfied by a computer, its operating system and applications in order to meet a
good security level have been developed: ITSEC and Common criteria are two examples.
Vulnerability falls under security like computer security, network security,etc.
How to mitigate the risk
§ Install Anti-Virus Software.
Ensure that reputable anti-virus software is installed on all computers. This should include all
servers, PCs and laptops. If employees use computers at home for business use or to remotely
access the network, these PCs should also have anti-virus software installed.
§ Ensure that the anti-virus software is up to date.
Everyday new computer viruses are being released and it is essential that businesses are
protected from these viruses by keeping the anti-virus software up to date. If possible, companies
should look at policies whereby computers that do not have the most up to date anti-virus
software installed are not allowed to connect to the network.
§ Employ a firewall to protect networks.
As computer viruses can spread by means other than email, it is important that unwanted traffic
is blocked from entering the network by using a firewall. For users that use computers for
business away from the protection of the company’s network, such as home PCs or laptops, a
personal firewall should be installed to ensure the computer is protected.
§ Filter all email traffic.
All incoming and outgoing email should be filtered for computer viruses. This filter should
ideally be at the perimeter of the network to prevent computer viruses. Emails with certain file
attachments commonly used by computer viruses to spread themselves, such as .EXE, .COM and
.SCR files, should also be prevented from entering the network.
§ Educate all users to be careful of suspicious e-mails.
Ensure that all users know to .
There is no such thing as too much security when it comes to your computer, and all electronic devices. Most of us use our electronics to transmit personal and financial information almost daily making it more important than ever to stay safe. Follow our commandments to keep yourself and your information guarded.

2. From a recent survey, here are top issues that IT Network managers face
with firewalls:
• My firewall does not automatically threats or isolate infected systems.
• My firewall has lots of features but it makes it difficult to figure out
how to use them.
• My network does not identify potentially risky users or apps on my
network.
• My firewall has lots of features but it makes it difficult to figure out
how to use them
3. This buyer’s guide is designed to help you choose the
right solution for your organization so that you don’t
end up with regrets like the firewall buyers above. This
guide covers all the features and capabilities you should
consider when evaluating your next firewall purchase.
How to use this guide
4. Application control enables you to
prioritize important network traffic like
VoIP, while limiting or blocking unwanted
traffic like streaming media.
Even if you don’t enforce any app control
policies, you need to be aware of what
applications are putting your network and
organization at risk.
1. Application visibility and control
5. 2. Web Control
URL filtering policies are
important for compliance to
ensure a safe environment for
all your users.
Controls web usage to prevent
noncompliant surfing and keep
inappropriate content and
malware off the network. It
also gives option to limit or
guarantee upload/ download
or total traffic priority and
bitrate individually or shared
6. 3. User Risk Assessment
Provides an overview of riskiest users
based on their network activity and
recent history.
Ensure your next firewall provides a
risk assessment report for users that
correlates their network activity to
identify your riskiest users. Also, look
for an assessment of overall
application risk level on your network
that can guide you into taking action
if and when high-risk application
usage starts to become evident
7. 4. Https scanning
With most internet traffic now
encrypted, compliance
enforcement is challenging
unless you have adequate
HTTPS scanning. Since HTTPS
scanning can be invasive and
disruptive, make sure your next
firewall includes selective
scanning and easy solutions for
managing exceptions
8. 5. Advanced Threat Protection
Advanced threat
protection is important
to identify bots, APTs,
and other threats already
operating on your
network. Ensure your
next firewall has
malicious traffic
detection, botnet
detection, and command
and control (C&C) call-
home traffic detection.
9. 6. Identify and Isolate Compromised Systems
To prevent data loss and
further infections, and to
accelerate remediation, your
firewall should immediately
identify not only the
infected host, but the user
and process in the event of
an incident, and isolate
compromised systems until
they can be cleaned up).
10. 7. Email anti-spam and anti-phishing
Email is still one of the
primary entry points for
threats and social
engineering exploits. Be
sure that your next firewall
or email filtering solution
has top-shelf anti-spam
and anti-phishing
technology to detect the
latest malware lurking in
emails and their
attachments
11. 8. Sandboxing
Sandboxing can easily catch the
latest evasive malware and
advanced threats like ransomware
and botnet malware before it
makes its way onto your
computers.
Ensure your firewall offers
advanced sandboxing that can
identify suspicious web or email
files and detonate them in a safe
sandbox environment to
determine their behavior before
allowing them into your network.
12. 9. Ease of use
Configuring and maintaining your
firewall can range from easy to
infuriating. You don’t have to be
one of the many who struggle to
figure out how to setup your
firewall properly because your
vendor made it too complex.
Find a solution that thinks the
way you do from a vendor that is
focused on making your day-to-
day management as streamlined
and easy as possible.
13. Hope this guide will prove useful when you are purchasing a
firewall for your network. You can also add any additional
requirements you may have to meet the specific needs of your
organization.
