This document discusses employee monitoring in the workplace. It defines employee monitoring as using various methods to observe and gather information about employee activities and locations to improve productivity. The purposes of monitoring include ensuring confidential data and a safe work environment, investigating complaints, and reducing theft and violence. Types of monitoring include video/audio surveillance, accessing communications on company devices, GPS tracking, and in-person observation. The pros are increased productivity, awareness of problems, and preventing misconduct. The cons are increased stress, decreased job satisfaction and creativity, lack of trust, and workplace discomfort.
An efficient key management system is required to support cryptography. Most key management systems use either pre-installed shared keys or install initial security parameters using out-of-band channels. These methods create an additional burden for engineers who manage the devices in industrial plants. Hence, device deployment in industrial plants becomes a challenging task in order to achieve security. In this work, we present a device deployment framework that can support key management using the existing trust towards employees in a plant. This approach reduces the access to initial security parameters by employees; rather it helps to bind the trust of the employee with device commissioning. Thus, this approach presents a unique solution to the device deployment problem. Further, through a proof-of-concept implementation and security analysis using the AVISPA tool, we present that our framework is feasible to implement and satisfies our security objectives.
EMPLOYEE TRUST BASED INDUSTRIAL DEVICE DEPLOYMENT AND INITIAL KEY ESTABLISHMENTIJNSA Journal
The document proposes a framework for deploying and establishing initial keys for devices in industrial plants. It leverages the existing trust in employees to simplify the process. The framework uses an employee management system to issue identity cards to trusted commissioning engineers. When deploying a new device, an engineer's identity card is used to transfer their trust to the device. This allows the device to securely join the plant network without requiring manual key entry or distribution of secret keys. The framework is designed to work with devices of varying capabilities and without direct connections to central management systems. A proof-of-concept implementation and security analysis show the framework can feasibly establish initial trust during device deployment.

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.

CHAPTER
26
Secure Application Design
This chapter covers the important security considerations that should be part of the development cycle of web applications, client applications, and remote administration, illustrating potential security issues and how to solve them.
After an application is written, it is deployed into an environment of some sort, where it remains for an extended period of time with only its original features to defend it from whatever threats, mistakes, or misuse it encounters. A malicious agent in the environment, on the other hand, has that same extended period of time to observe the application and tailor its attack techniques until something works. At this point, any number of undesirable things could happen. For example, there could be a breach, there could be a vulnerability disclosure, malware exploiting the vulnerability could be released, or the exploit technique could be sold to the highest bidder.
Most of these undesirable things eventually lead to customers who are unhappy with their software vendors, regardless of whether or not the customers were willing to pay for security before the incident occurred. For that reason, security is becoming more important to organizations ...
The document discusses two cybersecurity topics: Access Control and Maintenance. Access Control refers to determining who can access systems, data, and resources. It relies on techniques like authentication and authorization to verify users and control access levels. The Access Control family includes 25 specific controls to manage user access and permissions. Maintenance of IT systems is also important to address hardware, software, and security issues before they cause problems. Regular maintenance can detect small problems early and help prevent cybersecurity threats.
This document provides a supplier security assessment questionnaire to assist organizations in conducting security assessments of suppliers. The questionnaire is designed to be completed by suppliers as a self-assessment. It contains questions about the supplier's security policies, controls, and practices across various security domains to help the organization identify risks and prioritize on-site security audits.
As requested by folks these are the presentation notes for Securing Citizen Facing Applications. Hope these help with your IDM planning and implementation

In the book titled “Writing Secure Code: Practical Strategies and Proven Techniques for Building Secure Applications in a Networked World (Developer Best Practices)” authors Howard and LeBlanc talk about the so called attacker’s advantage and the defenders dilemma and they put into perspective the fact that developers (identified as defenders) must build better quality software because attackers have the advantage.
In this dilemma, software applications must be on a state of defense because attackers are out there taking advantage of any minor mistake, whereas the defender must be always vigilant, adding new features to the code, fixing issues, adding new engineers to the team. All this conditions are important when it comes to software security.
Sadly, strong understanding of software security principles is not always a characteristic of most software engineers but we can’t blame them. Writing code is a complex task per se, the abstraction level required, along with choosing and/or writing the accurate algorithm and dealing with tight schedules seems to be always a common denominator and the outcome when talking to developers.
This talk also includes techniques, tools and guidance that software engineers can use to perform Application Security testing during the development stage, enabling them to catch vulnerabilities at the time they are created.

Question:2
Operations security definition
According to Jason Andress (2014), Operations security is not limited to the process of identification of sensitive & critical information but extends to identify ways to protect them and thereby preventing them to be used by the adversaries. Operations Security was a field which was primarily introduced and practiced by US government for handling the sensitive information. But due to the exponential growth in the use of smart phones and internet, all of our regular day-to-day activities have pretty much moved to the virtual environments. This has forced many of the organizations to look for ways to protect the information and take countermeasures as and when required.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity serverAntonios Katsarakis
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

2. Planning for an electronic door access control system installation is no
easy task. Depending on how large your facility is, how many
employees, how many doors both entrances and exits (plus interior)
there are several directions you can go down before you get into what
specific access control manufacturer or product to choose. This guide
will help you to organize and plan for the operational challenges and
technical difficulties.
3. Here are the 5 basic steps you
need to follow for Access control
system installation:
01
Planning and Designing
Plan ahead to meet future expectations.
02 Procurement
Look for a reliable security partner.
03 Project Management
Work towards the plan.
04 Testing and Maintaining
Test in all possible ways.
05 Training
Train your clients.
You will have a
detailed
information of
installing an
access control
system.
IN THIS GUIDE
4. Planning and Designing
Planning an access control project is the most crucial
stage.
First, the security installer must know your specific
needs and what is the objective when installing an
access control system. Second, it is important to study
the location where access control needs to be installed.
These two aspects are a key starting point for planning
the project.
Next is evaluating what type of identification device is
the right one for the project and choose the most
suitable one that meets your expectations.
The plan should meet all levels of management and
aligns with the company’s security policies.
STEP 1
It is essential to consider the
following questions:
Approximately how many doors do you need to secure?
How many people will need authorized access to your location?
Which types of accesses are there (like vehicular, pedestrian
etc.)?
What is the approximate square footage of your location?
Which door type (like glass, wood, iron, safety door etc.) is
convenient?
Are there different floors in your office? If so, there are two
options, either to connect both floors with wires to save on
installation costs or install two separate access control
systems. Which one will you choose?
Are there different access levels for your facility?
5. Design Stage
The design stage includes identifying different access
types that will fit the plan, locate different readers and
controllers to be aware of the real distance between them,
different types of equipment, access point hardware’s that
can withstand the temperature, the capacity of the power
supply shall be selected to meet the largest load and the
right cabling to connect the hardware devices.
Once everything is in place, a Facility Security Floor Plan is
created outlining cable paths for installation, identifying
secure doors & outlines specific hardware to be used at
each secure door location.
An expert on door access control installation has the
specialized knowledge to be able to determine the correct
solution or assist you with these decisions.
6. Procurement
Several copies of the Facility Security Floor Plan are
made and send to few reliable security partners to
benchmark the prices.
It is hard to find a good and reliable security partner.
There are security companies like Umbrella
Technologies, who can not only help you in installing
your access control system but also guide you
throughout the process of planning and making the right
decision.
Once you decide on the security partner, an agreement
will be signed for the implementation of the access
control system which should include a long-term
preventative service agreement.
STEP 2
7. Project Management
A project schedule is made that depends on the scope of
the project.
The employees should be notified by the organization
about the planned work on-site by technicians. The
security partner should communicate with the
organization’s point of contact about each day’s
progress.
All software and hardware should be installed and
tested prior to replacing any old devices with new ones.
STEP 3
8. Testing and Maintaining
The Final testing happens after the implementation of
the access control systems.
The system is put into daily use to test whether all the
parts are functioning properly. This involves testing of
each hardware, panel, and interface of the access control
system. Each lock should be tested for proper operation,
both during and after business hours. Both valid and
invalid credentials should be presented to each reader on
the system to ensure the system responds as
programmed. Any alerts should be triggered and tested
to ensure the system reacts to these events.
Also, we should make sure if the project involves
integration with other system, those systems should run
properly with the new access control.
The system will need ongoing maintenance because
these kinds of projects are never fully completed.
STEP 4
9. Training
Finally, you will be trained by the security partner on how
to operate the system and various operational
challenges.
Each stage of installing access control involves specific
knowledge of some sort. Experts in this area, such as
Umbrella Technologies, can provide a seamless access
control installation. Contact us today for expert advice on
door access control system installation.
STEP 5
10. WHO TO GET INVOLVED?
It’s important that the individuals in charge at your facility
include other perspectives from department heads when
planning your access control installation.
11. FACILITY MANAGERS
Facility Managers understand the
building. They would be the go-to
person for construction, cable-paths and
potentially areas of risk.
A Facility Manager is like a security
manager, who operates at different levels
within your organization. They are
responsible for making sure that the
facilities and their services meets the
need of the employees who work in
them. Their common duties include
inspect facilities and properties
proactively, address safety concerns,
responsible for property maintenance,
institute security access control locks like
key fobs, security door codes etc., be
aware of the emergency notification floor
plan and guide employees during such
events. In short, Facility managers have
the knowledge and understanding of
each nuts and bolts of your facility,
thereby becoming an important
personnel in the access control
installation process.
From our experience here are the roles and value they can
bring in the planning phase:
12. HUMAN RESOURCES
Human Resources plays a vital
role in employee identification,
securing employee data and
access management. They
control the database of
employee information such as
job title, department etc. These
information’s are critical for
providing access rights based
on various factors such as role,
responsibility, department etc.,
which can be readily available
from HR team. They even
manage who should have
access to what. Thus, HR team
can help you in figuring out
which teams or employees
should have access to which
doors in your facility.
13. SECURITY MANAGERS
Security Manager’s duties
are similar to a Facility
Manager. They assess risks,
establish policies to protect
the employees, staffs and
other individuals in your
organization, Identify
integration issues,
spearhead mitigation
procedures, forensic
investigations and
vulnerability audits. It is
important to be aware of
the security policies and
measures of your
organization become
planning to work on access
control installations.
14. DIRECTOR OF IT
Considering access control
systems are now large in
part of the internet of
things- they will be going
on your network and will
probably be hosted in the
cloud depending on if you
choose a cloud or on-
premise access control
system. The IT
administrator will be a vital
asset in vetting the
technology and ensuring it
will run in parallel with
your established network
on inclusive of your IT
department.
15. OPERATIONS & ACCESS LEVELS
Auditing your organization to
determine who has what level of
authorization is critical. Different job
functions have different
responsibilities all of whom should
have different access levels within
your company. We highly
recommend from the start you create
Access Groups which is a profile
established for a specific role which
will ultimately determine their access
level.
As part of this due diligence you want
to establish what areas of the facility
this role will have access to and
when. Take into consideration the
shift when the employee is on, if they
would need access outside of their
normal shift and what areas of your
facility are critical to their
productivity.
Establishing access groups will make
your system repeatable for on-
boarding new employees in the
future.
Users with the Manage Access
Levels permission can assign
individuals to a different access level
after they are accepted. An
organization individual can only be
assigned to one access level. Each
organization has two standard access
levels: Administrator and User. You
can create, modify, and delete the
access levels. When you create a child
organization, it has the same access
levels as its parent organization. But
it’s important to note if a child
organization already exists, and you
create a new access level in the
parent organization, the new access
level is not created in the child
organization.
16. A map of your facility can help you in
planning out what areas needs which
type of access. It can be partitioned
with different color schemes based on
the access levels. You can start with
the main entrance of the facility that
allows employers to enter or exit the
facility. From there breaking it down
to different blocks or towers of the
facility to different floors and
deciding on which areas different
employees needs access to.
The most important fact of this whole
conversation is each employee should
have the right access based on their
roles and responsibilities. Access
levels are determined by Facility
manager or Employee supervisor.
In most of the organizations, an
employee is given a user role or a role-
based access or a team location-
based access to the area of your
facility. When an employee requests a
particular access to that area, an
approval request is sent to the
supervisor or the facility manager,
who grants the access to the
employee if it’s an authorized access.
The approval request is generally a
form with employees’ basic
information where the supervisor or
facility manager needs to fill the time
and days the employee is in the
building and sign off the request.
It’s better for you to automate the
process by connect the access control
systems with HR employee
information database so that when an
employee leaves the company or
terminated, the access is revoked
automatically.
17. DIFFERENT ACCESS LEVELS BASED ON
ROLE FOR YOUR FACILITY
They have complete administrative
access to your facility. This role
should be limited to a few people in
your facility. They have full account
access, including service
configuration, account
management capabilities and user
access control.
Owners
The default role for everyone
else in your facility. This type
of access allows a person to
view statistical data, analytics,
build, deployments and service
configuration information for
all services on an account.
Users or Members
Allows a person to manage billing
settings, view billing information
about an account. View statistical
and analytical data for all services
on an account.
Billing managers can:
Upgrade or downgrade the
employer’s account
Add, update, or delete payment
methods
View payment history
Download payment receipts
View, invite, and remove the
billing managers
Financial or Billing
managers
View configuration and setup
details, build and
deployments, make
configuration changes,
including activating new
services, troubleshooting
various issues using log files
etc.

19. SETTING UP ACCESS LEVELS
FOR YOUR FACILITY
Access levels allows you to set wide range of
permissions for your users accessing a facility. Access
levels are presented as numbers (You can use any
numbers), where application assumes that user with
lower access level has lower permissions and can
access only a limited set of information. On the other
side, the user with highest access level have highest
permissions and can access the most sensitive and
confidential information on the system. The system
administrator sets up a hierarchy of users based on
their roles, duties, departments and other factors. The
users between lower access level and highest access
level have access permissions accordingly to the
hierarchical structure. This procedure of granting
access permissions is known as access rights.
20. Let’s consider an example,
Access levels are determined based on the organization’s
requirement. You may grant limited lower access level to
visitors, who has access to only few areas of your facility
like lobby or cafeteria and grant higher access level to
employees, who are placed above the visitors in the
hierarchical structure.
You may also determine based on user’s roles and
responsibilities like cashier as limited user, managers as
users performing some critical business operations and an
admin with unrestricted or full access. You need to
prioritize the access levels and you can achieve that by
setting the access levels in the system application like the
below levels in the example:
Default for limited users. Will be able to access unprotected or
non-confidential application sections only.
0
Employees who can access the necessary areas of the facility
depending on the type of work or based on department.2
Senior Employees who can have more access permissions than
the new onboards or employees at lower level in the hierarchy.
4
Can be assigned to Managers and allow them to view reports in
management sections, perform various audits but no permission
is granted to edit or delete documents.
5
This level can be assigned to "master admin", who will have
unrestricted or protected access to all sections, sensitive data
and perform any actions.

21. Your facilities are secured with
electronic access control systems that
depends on user credentials, different
card readers that authenticates
employees’ access to restricted
business locations and proprietary
areas, such as data centers.
Access control panels has the ability
to restrict access to rooms and
buildings. Lockdown capabilities
prevents unauthorized access to your
facility.
Access control systems perform
identity authorization of users by
evaluating required login credentials
that can include
username, passwords, personal
identification numbers
(PINs), biometric scans or certificate’s
thumbprint, long distance access
code, security tokens, Access Keys
(Access Key ID) or
other authentication
factors. Multifactor authentication
(MFA), provides you with an extra
layer of security that requires two or
more authentication factors. These
security controls work by identifying
an individual or entity, verifying that
the individual or application is what it
claims to be, and authorizing the
access level and set of actions
associated with the username and
password or IP address.
YOUR SECURITY
CREDENTIALS ARE ACCOUNT
SPECIFIC.
SETTING UP SECURITY
CREDENTIALS FOR
YOUR FACILITY
22. Features and
Capabilities of
your Access
Control System
Access control systems plays a
vital role of ensuring the security
of your business. These
systems controls individuals’
access to different entrances
or exits of your facility and
establish access levels for areas
of your office. It authenticates
the identity of the individual and
cross references against the
employee information database
to attain the access
authorization level.
They record employees or
visitors access history in the
facility to maintain security of
your organization. Advanced
technologies are used to identify
the individuals seeking access to
your facility or a restricted area
and allows access only to the
areas aligned with their
permissions.
23. THERE ARE SEVERAL PHYSICAL TYPES OF
AUTHENTICATION
A small security token that uses RFID
technology to control your access to buildings,
computer systems, network services and data.
Generally carried on a keychain.
Key fob
Micro Tag
A sticker that uses HID proximity technology.
Converts a photo ID to a proximity card by
tagging into a nonmetallic device. It easily
attaches to a mobile device and other objects.
Electronic access card
A physical card that can be swiped or scanned
for entry.
Biometrics
Fingerprints or facial recognition that identify
the individual seeking access.
Password or pin code
Users can enter the correct password or pin
code into a keypad to gain access.
Mobile apps with barcode
Users download the app to their phones and
generate a barcode that they scan in the
barcode reader to enter your facility.
24. The authentications require a reader to gain
access. Card Readers are generally mounted on
the exterior (non-secured) side of your door that
they control. There are several types of readers:
Keypad
The access control keypad has numeric keys
arranged in a block or pad with digits, symbols or
alphabetical letters just like your calculator or push-
button-telephones. A keypad allows only a single-
entry code. These locks can either be mechanical
with no battery usage or electronic in some cases
with some type of power source.
The single-entry code is used to authenticate the
user and requires entering a correct numeric code
to gain access to your facility. When access control
keypads are used in addition to your card readers,
both a valid card and the correct numeric code
must present before access is granted.
Biometric
Biometric replaces the use of password, pin codes or key fob;
Your Finger becomes the key to your business. These
systems use biometric devices such as fingerprint or
thumbprint readers, facial recognition scanners, retinal eye
scanners and hand geometry readers.
Biometric is either used for authentication or identification of
the users in your facility. When your smart card is brought in
close proximity to the biometric reader, it authenticates the
identification of the cardholder by comparing the finger
presented to the reader with the template stored on the
credential. Your Card with biometrics eliminates the
possibility of a stolen credential. A standalone biometric
reader is used for identification of the user. The finger is
matched with database of enrolled templates.
25. Proximity Card Reader
A contactless smart card that functions by holding your card in close proximity to the reader. It
uses the RFID technology. The Proximity Card Reader is wired to your access control panel. The
wires carry power to the reader, and data transmits from the reader to the panel. The Reader
emits an electromagnetic field. When your proximity card is brought within the field, the card
absorbs some of the energy from the field. The card converts this field energy to electrical
energy, which allows the electronic circuits in the card to "turn on" and transmit its number to
the reader. The reader sends the card number to your access control panel, which looks up in its
database to see if the card number is valid and if it has rights to open that door at this time. If
the card access is granted, then the control panel sends a signal to the door lock to unlock for a
certain period of time.
The card data transmission distance varies with your card type and reader type. The distance at
which your card will successfully transmit data to the reader is called the Read Range. The read
range is approximate and can vary depending on the details of your installation. Maximum
range is achieved when the reader is mounted far away from metal and cards are presented
parallel to the reader face. This allows the card reader field to power up the card transponder at
a farther distance.

This feature allows you to keep track of the
individuals who gets in and out of your
facility. There are various technologies that
works inside the system to grant or deny
access if it’s an unauthorized access.
Integration with emergency notification
systems will allow you to receive instant alerts
if an unauthorized person attempts to access
