Attacks on the enterprise are getting increasingly sophisticated. Current solutions available do not seem to be adequate given the innovativeness, precision and persistence of these attacks in different forms and of different dimensions. Organisations thus want to increase the sophistication of their employees and also of the solutions to be deployed given this backdrop.
WIRELESS SECURITY MEASUREMENT USING DATA VALUE INDEXIJNSA Journal
Nowadays, use of wireless technology in organizations is a regular act, and we can see this technology erupted in all possible different areas. Related to employing wireless technology those organizations need to apply properly security level, depend on security policy which already defined. If security system applied but not required, or security system required but not provided, leads to improper security system. In this paper we have shown the way to evaluate the data significant and their appropriate security level. Here a model to evaluate the cost of data on security point of view by consideration of some parameters like sensitivity, volume, life, frequency, etc…, this research makes organizations to predict and implement or understand the cost involved for security of their data by measuring the data value. We used questionnaire and survey methodologies to collect the data; and then used SPSS and SAS program to calculate and design a model. In this way regression and BOOTSTARP help us to find accurate result.

NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS’ NEED TO ADDRESS SECURITY FOR EFFECTIVE GOVERNMENT C...IJNSA Journal
The need for information security within small to mid-size companies is increasing. The risks of information security breach, data loss, and disaster are growing. The impact of IT outages and issues on the company are unacceptable to any size business and their clients. There are many ways to address the security for IT departments. The need to address risks of attacks as well as disasters is important to the IT security policies and procedures. The IT departments of small to medium companies have to address these security concerns within their budgets and other limited resources.Security planning, design, and employee training that is needed requires input and agreement from all levels of the company and management. This paper will discuss security needs and methods to implement them into a corporate infrastructure.

Information security governance is a relative new area it doesn't always receive the required attention such as business support, management support and eventually the necessary budgets to keep Mr Evil out. The reasons why information security is not receiving the required attention are plenty, but a main issue that it is failing to get on the agenda could be that the upper levels of an organisational structure do not receive the information required to get their attention, or that companies are risk taking instead of risk averse or it seems impossible to identify value for the business. Security is about avoiding something, where a new application is about adding functionality in order to increase efficiency, production etc… Unfortunately, security is still seen as a business disabler.

Introduction
The security of the world is currently increasing in a simultaneous manner. Many countries all around the world try harder to cater to its citizens despite having huge numbers of citizens. Business is the core factor that gives out people a way to a better life. Organizations have emerged and that they all try as much as possible to be successful, despite having many challenges in the market square. The exchange of goods and services is the main core issue that led to the emergence of business globally. In general terms there are different products that are produced all around the world, researchers have proven that for the business to be rated in a successful level the security status of the business must also be considered. Security generally protects the product and services of the organization. It is very important to keep the security of the of the company high, this is based on the fact that all the product and services produced by the company will be secured from competitors and the ill motive individuals who might want to bring down the business. Employers and employees are the ones who are responsible for keeping the security in an organization to be at a high level.
Background information
In today’s world, everything that is tangible is always stored in a digital form. When the business lacks a form to defend its digital assets generally the business is lost, thus the potential loss of the business will grow bigger every day. (Gupta, Rees, Chaturvedi & Chi, 2006) The need of having legal security in the organization literally existed ever since the introduction of the first computer in the business environment. Recently the paradigm has greatly shifted over the years, nevertheless from the client-server systems and terminal server mainframe systems.
Despite the security system being very important, in many terms it has not always been set aside to be critical in organizational success. With the existence of the mainframe system being in the place, many organizations manage to protect their own systems from the abuse of the resources, for instances having unauthorized user gaining access to the organizational system and also the act of authorized user hogging company’s resources. Such types of abuse were considered to be more damaging based on the fact that the system had a higher cost during the early mainframes days. As time goes by, the technology techniques developed and increased to some level, hence the cost of the systems resources decreases, this issue apparently becomes less important to the business environment. (Gupta, Rees, Chaturvedi & Chi, 2006)The evolving act of having remote access outside the organizational networks was also considered to be non-existence. Furthermore, only the underground community had higher tools and knowledge that is rightfully needed.

Discuss how a successful organization should have the following layers of security in place for the protection of its operations: information security management, data security, and network security.
Multiple Layers of Security
Marlowe Rooks posted Mar 13, 2020 9:54 AM
Looking at Vacca”s book chapter 1, “Information security management as a field is ever increasing in demand and responsibility because most organizations spend increasingly larger percentages of their IT budgets in attempting to manage risk and mitigate intrusions, not to mention the trend in many enterprises of moving all IT operations to an Internet-connected infrastructure, known as enterprise cloud computing (John R. Vacca, 2014)”. It is the organization responsibility to protect its business and its client information at all times. With that said I’m going to break down why companies need to have multiple layers of security and what types they should implement below.
The first layer is Information security management which can be from Physical Security, or Personnel Security. Physical Security can range from physical items, objects, or areas from unauthorized access and misuse. Personnel Security is to protect the individual or group of individuals who are authorized to access the organization and its operations. Some of the reason to implement Information Security is as follow:
· Decrease in downtime of IT systems
· Decrease in security related incidents
· Increase in meeting an organization's compliance requirements and standards
· Increase in customer satisfaction, demonstrating that security issues are tackled in the most appropriate manner
· Increase in quality of service
· Process approach adoption, which helps account for all legal and regulatory requirements
· More easily identifiable and managed risks
· Also covers information security (IS) (in addition to IT information security)
· Provides a competitive edge to an organization with the help of tackling risks and managing resources/processes
The second layer would be Data Security which can be refers to the process of protecting data from unauthorized access and data corruption throughout its lifecycle. Data security includes data encryption, tokenization, and key management practices that protect data across all applications and platforms. Some of the reason to implement Data Security is as follow:
· Cloud access security – Protection platform that allows you to move to the cloud securely while protecting data in cloud applications.
· Data encryption – Data-centric and tokenization security solutions that protect data across enterprise, cloud, mobile and big data environments.
· Web Browser Security - Protects sensitive data captured at the browser, from the point the customer enters cardholder or personal data, and keeps it protected through the ecosystem to the trusted host destination.
· Mobile App Security - Protecting sensitive data in native mobile apps while safeguarding the data end-to-end.

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.
Key Features:
· Web application security checking from development through output
· Security check web APIs and world wide web services that support your enterprise
· Effortlessly organize, view and share security-test outcomes and histories

Security is one of the most important functions an organization must incorporate. Regardless of how organizations are assuming all security measures are in place, many times this isn’t enough. Ensuring this is a priority not only protects the company from hacks but also prevent fines and worst-case scenario, loss of trust which will cripple the organization income.
First, the LAN domain is where all the hubs, switches, routers, and workstations reside. This domain is also a trusted zone. Some of the risks involved in this domain includes worm that can infect all systems connected and unauthorized user access into the workstation.
Second, WAM domain which is a Wide Area Network. As the name implies, this domain covers a large geographic area. Some of the risks involved in this domain includes, network outages and the possibility of a DOS or DDOS attack to the server.
Third, the system/application storage domain. A user accessed server. Used for email and database. A very secure domain to ensure businesses doesn’t lose sensitive data and the threat of losing productivity. Some of the risks includes, DOS attack and SQL injections which can result in data corruption.
Lastly, remote access domain. Allows users to access the local network remotely from anywhere regardless of the what internet connection they may be connected to. This has to be protected with a VPN of course. Some of the risks include slow and poor connection, risk of hack due to remote connection from outside the network can be unsecure.
We are going to focus on the system/application storage domain. This is a very important domain as addressed above. This is because this domain must be protected at all times to minimize the risk of losing confidential and sensitive data. But despite the protection this domain is provided, some of the more common threats related to this domain is the operating system such as the desktop and server, email application, etc. Looking at software vulnerability, this is an easy way to exploit this domain. This is due to software having vulnerabilities and it is impossible to write perfect code that is free of any vulnerabilities. The vulnerabilities are then easily exploited by malware which is usually accidently installed by the user. What these vulnerabilities can be damaging to a corporation, they can be used to steal information or remain for a long ride to monitor or be used as keyloggers. Protecting from these attacks is not easy but ensuring all system updates are installed will help with the mitigation of the risks. Companies are always releasing updates to help correct vulnerabilities shortly after discovery. Another best practice is monitoring the systems for any suspicious software or behavior to help detect malware early.

Discussion 1Recommend three countermeasures that could enhance.docxelinoraudley582231
Discussion 1
Recommend three countermeasures that could enhance the information security measures of an enterprise. Justify your recommendations.
1. Upon extensive review of existing IT EBK and what new measures needed to be taken, Homeland Security came to the conclusion that a comprehensive approach information security including the steps of manage, design, implement, and evaluate would best serve to safeguard against future threats. Manage: calls for the oversight of security programs to come from the highest levels of chains of command with constant focus on “ensuring its currency with changing risk and threat” (2007, p. 9). Design: calls for analyzing a program to assess what types of “procedures and processes” will best direct its successful execution. Implement: refers to how programs and policies are instituted within the company. Evaluate: this final step calls for a final critique of the new program or policy’s successful ability to [achieve] its purpose (2007, p. 9).
2. Homeland Security also recommended a “Competency and Functional Framework for IT Workplace Development” that placed strong emphasis on a clear chain of command and communication with clear job titles and IT employee roles being placed into a group of Executive, Functional or Corollary employees (2007, p. 17).
3. The report stressed the primary role of “the IT Security Compliance Professional is . . . overseeing, evaluating, and supporting compliance issues pertinent to the organization” (Homeland Security, 2007, p.16). Thus, the report logically concluded that IT professionals must know and be able to properly define terms such as evaluation, compliance and assessment in order to properly perform their duties (p. 14).
Propose three cybersecurity benefits that could be derived from the development of a strategic governance process. Select the benefit you find most important and explain why.
The National Computing Centre points out that there are numerous benefits to having a rigorous strategic governance process in place. Among them, increased transparency and accountability which leads to an “improved transparency of IT costs, IT process, [and] IT portfolio (2005, p. 6). This increased transparency and accountability also leads to an “improved understanding of overall IT costs and their input to ROI cases” which in turn often brings about “an increased return on investment/stakeholder value” (p. 6). Finally, the authors point to the fact that with increased transparency comes increased accountability and companies avoid “unnecessary expenditures” (p. 7).
Discussion 2
Categorize the roles described by the Information Technology Security Essential Body of Knowledge (EBK), in terms of executive, functional, and corollary competencies. Select two of these roles that you believe enhance the security countermeasures of an organization the most and justify your response.
As mentioned previously, Homeland Security’s 2007 report emphasized the importance of properly .

Agency-wide security awareness Program Proposal
Introduction
For the organization to comply with the current PCT DSS requirement version 12,6, a security awareness program must be in place. The CISCO of the organization has an immediate requirement of creating an agency-wide security awareness program. As a means of implementing security awareness program the organization has conducted a security gap analysis which is one of the component of security awareness program which showed the 10 security findings. As one of the means of conducting the program, I will submit awareness program proposal.
Objective
This SOW (Statement of Work) is being done on behalf of the senior information officer. He has requested for the creation of an agency-wide security awareness program by handing over the security gap analysis which was done prior to this process. Hence the major aim of this document is to set a security awareness program which shows ten major key security findings. The document will also include a risk assessment of the current security awareness practices, processes and practices. By having this document, the organization will be able to have a well-organized maintenance plan. It is also important in maintaining and establishing an information-security awareness program (United States, 2000).
Background
The mission of the organization is to provide efficient IT services with the best security program in place with an aim of protecting organizations assets.

Safeguarding the Enterprise
1. 1
Safeguarding the Enterprise: a new approach
Sanjay Sahay
Introduction
Attacks on the enterprise are getting increasingly sophisticated. Current solutions
available do not seem to be adequate given the innovativeness, precision and
persistence of these attacks in different forms and of different dimensions.
Organisations thus want to increase the sophistication of their employees and also of
the solutions to be deployed given this backdrop.
Facts & Challenges
Research shows that 55% of the breaches requires months to years to contain
(Verizon 2010 Data Breach report), 16% of breaches are discovered via active and
deliberate action. Only 24% of APT malware is detected by an anti-virus solution.
(Mandiant 2010) Logs are at the heart of monitoring and use of logs for the right
purpose and in the right directions can come handy immensely. Mining of logs throws
up data which the professional can make a meaning of. The signs are there, we just
need to get better in recognizing them.
This is the challenge of safeguarding the enterprise. “We watch these attackers and
we know them. Some are very fast moving…, if you lose track of them in your
system, you can lose them for months if not forever. The impact of damage cannot
be gauged at a later date and real impact would remain unknown forever. This brings
us to the primary question of why safeguard the enterprise. The enterprise has to be
safeguarded primarily for two reasons the first being the physical security, it cannot
exist in a vacuum and the second being the safeguarding of the data.
Structure
During the course of this article I will take you through my definition of a
safeguarded enterprise, the new approach – Gartner White Paper, goals, security
risks and key success factors, security architecture, data center, connectivity and
application, application data security life cycle, security information and event
management, single sign on, the future- cloud computing and the final thoughts based
on the discussion gone through this article.
2. 2
What is a safeguarded enterprise
Safeguarded Enterprise is the sum total of a clear – cut perception,
appropriate/integrated planning, documentation, meticulous execution ad
dynamic/robust maintenance of enterprise security policy at awareness, attitudinal,
physical, systems, processes, application and data dimensions throughout the
enterprise creating a near fail safe enterprise.
Silo
Silos have ruled the world till we realized what a silo is and the way it feeds like a
termite on a system, which is an integrated system, for namesake. So was the case
of security in the Enterprise Business Architecture. Business, information and
technology (BIT) were the three components. The new approach emanates from a
Gartner White Paper in the year 2006 titled ‘Incorporating Security into the
Enterprise Architecture Process’. This led to the creation of Enterprise Information
Security Architecture with four critical components of Business, information,
technology and security (BITS). BIT changed to BITS and security became a design
component itself.
S E a new approach

SecurityTechnology
3. 3
In the midst of the clamor for a fail safe data regime which would be nonetheless be
a mirage, the importance of physical security should not be diluted. My visit to
Indian IT companies in Bangalore has helped me confirm by belief that physical
security stands at par with data security though the two are distinctly different
thought processes, are different in execution and would remain to be complimentary
for all times to come. 9/11 has been a watershed in modern human history, the
location of the Taliban attack Ground Zero as is its called was a rubble of what was
best of the companies in the world housed in the World Trade Center towers 1 & 2.
Whatever come may… physical security will always count, whether on land, in air or on
water. This does not in any way bring down the importance of the Disaster Recovery
process of our state of art data centers which were able to retrieve nearly all the
data which was physically located on the servers and computer systems in the two ill
fated buildings.
Goals
The goals of Enterprise Information Security Architecture is to provide a structure
that is coherent and cohesive. As the business motive is predominant in a business
enterprise, the business to security alignment in critical. Any disconnect would be
critical to profitability and at times to the existence of the enterprise itself. The
details ought to neatly spelt out, top down which should be synchronous in itself and
synergize with the business strategy. At the end of the day, this approach helps
establish a common language for information, for its free flow, clarity of
communication and timely and effective response mechanism for information security
within the integrated enterprise.
Risks
The common risks which the enterprise faces today is all too well known. This can
broadly be summarized as mentioned below:
Email attachments
VPN Tunnel vulnerabilities
Blended attacks
Diversionary tactics
Download from websites
Supply chain and partners added to the network
Microsoft’s SOAP
4. 4
Renaming documents
Peer to peer applications
Music and video browsers
Key Success Factors
Awareness of the impending danger is the initiation of diagnosis and objective
diagnosis can only lead objective treatment and maintenance of a healthy enterprise
both form the point of view of physical and data security. Security awareness in all
its dimensions creates an environment where all success factors fall in place like a
jigsaw puzzle, the people, the processes and technology. One the security awareness
human platform are the two main technical components of Network Security and
Application Security. Operating system security, Patch and AV management and SIEM
are the three components of the final layer which can be termed as the operating,
functional and the analytical layer.
Security Architecture
The key success factor is the synergy of People, Processes and Technology creating a
seamless security architecture which is optimally functional and has the capability to
propel the enterprise to the next level. The people part comprises of user awareness,
guidance, administration and effective monitoring of the system. The processes part
comprises of policies, standards, guidelines and audit capabilities. Last and the most
important component in a technology driven world is technology itself manifested by
the use of IPS, Firewall, AV, DLP and SIEM.
Defense of Depth
“Defense of Depth” is a concept used to describe layers of defense strategies. The
components at each layer work in tandem to provide one cohesive security mechanism.
This layered approach also helps localize the impact if one element of the mechanism
is compromised. The defense of depth layers concentric circles begins moving
outwards with the Data at the bull or the innermost circle. The circles from the
innermost to the final outside circle are data, application, host, internal network,
perimeter, physical and policies, procedures and awareness.
5. 5
At the Core
Data Center, Connectivity and the Application are at the core of the enterprise
security. The main purpose of a data center is running the applications that handle
the core business and the operational data of the organization. Secure application
usage is the key to the creation of a secure enterprise.
Secure connectivity is the backbone. The Karnaktaka State Police broadband
networking is a intranet named KSPWAN which is a combination of 39, 2 Mbps MPLS
leased lines for big offices, 512 Kbps 1400 VPNoBB connections covering all police
stations and small offices and 8Mbps internet leased line with and aggregation
bandwidth of 32 Mbps working as a single network of 5000 computers across the
state working out of a single server located at the KSP Data Center. The choice of
intranet over internet is the first decision towards security of the enterprise which is
slowly becoming the norm in enterprises across the globe.
6. 6
S E a new approach
KSP Connectivity
Application/s is at the heart of the enterprise. An ERP created for the enterprise
aligns to all its tasks and activities also takes care of all the staff functions which
run co-terminus with the business functions. Secure ERP on an intranet is what we
are all heading for.
The Application Data Security Lifecycle (ADSL)

Life Cycle
7. 7
The diagram clearly elucidates the role of different components of the ADSL. The
lifecycle as is the case with concept and process starts with the assessment
encapsulating the configuration/usage of servers and data, test configuration,
evaluate the inherent risks and also assess how and by whom the data and
applications are used.
Setting polices and controls is the subsequent task. The policies should be
automatically created considering the right mix of business and security
considerations with the flexibility to adapt to user changes and support granular
policies and controls. Monitoring and enforcing is more important than creating the
policies itself. The separation of duties should be ensured simultaneously with user
accountability. The transaction details should be in a comprehensive manner and alerts
and blocks should be resorted to in real time. Measure is a tool, an utility which
provides the appropriate usage, levels of effectiveness and the depth of the impact
of the system put in place which is conducted by way of built in and custom reports,
roll up and drill down data, security event analysis and the compliance workflow.
Security Information & Event Management (SIEM)
SIEM, an intelligence platform helps safeguard the business by giving complete
visibility into the activities across the IT infrastructure. It fulfills the functionalities
which would be not be emanated out of single activity logs and without this software
system no correlation can be mapped or understood leave aside taking any correctional
action. Logs are the cornerstone of all activities and making meaning of the logs as
per our requirements is the real professional tool. The functionalities being attended
to by this software are asset discovery, threat detection, vulnerability assessment,
event collection, correlation, event management and log storage. The SIEM
capabilities comprise of data aggregation, correlation, alerting, dashboards,
compliance and retention.
Single Sign On
Single Sign On, SSO, is a property of access control of multiple related, but
independent software systems. Conversely, Single Sign Off, is the property whereby
the single action of signing out terminates access to multiple software systems. The
benefits we derive out of this system are as follows:
More secure
Reduces password fatigue
Reduces time spend for re-entering passwords
8. 8
Reduces IT costs – helpdesk calls pertaining to passwords etc
Security on all levels of entry/exit/access to systems
Centralized reporting for compliance adherence
Cloud – The Final Frontier
Cloud computing has turned out to be the final frontier as on date, with advantages
to so many but procedurally and technically still not seeming to full secure.
Enterprises my still take sometime to switch over to complete cloud environment.
There are large number of security issues/concerns associated with cloud computing
which can grouped into two, firstly security issues faced by cloud providers and
secondly security issues faced by their customers. The provider must ensure that
their infrastructure is secure and client’s data and applications are protected. The
customer must ensure that the provider has taken proper security measures to
protect their information.
Cloud - Virtualization
The extensive use of virtualization in implementing cloud infrastructure brings unique
security concerns for customers of a public cloud service. Virtualization alters the
relationship between the OS and the underlying hardware – be it computing, storage
or even networking. The use of this technology introduces an additional layer –
virtualization – that itself must be properly configured, managed and secured.
Specific concerns include the potential to compromise the virtualization software.
While the concerns are largely theoretical, they do exist.
Challenges
What we are witnessing today is advanced cyber threats are advanced cyber threats,
collaboration is the key in dealing with them. No single organization can respond
positively given the nature of the challenge posed on enterprises today. There is need
for the creation of an Advanced Cyber Security Center (ACSC) for cross sector
collaboration organized to help protect the country’s enterprises from the rapidly
evolving advanced and persistent cyber threats.
ACSC would strengthen short term defenses and long term capability. Actionable
intelligence to bolster an organizations defense in the short term and generate new
defensive strategies and R&D in the longer term would be the logical guiding principle.
9. 9
The near term results would be application of front line analytics, medium term
results would be the application of New “ Predictive Analytics” Development and the
long term results would true Research & Development which would throw up innovative
security solutions for the enterprise. Though it would time taking yet it would be
worthwhile to leverage on sustainable and continuous research improving the enterprise
security by leaps and bounds.
The other challenges include cloud computing with virtualization which I have already
discussed in detail. With mobility becoming the order of the day, this would remain
an area exclusive concern and most gadgets would be internet enabled where
compromising security is easier than in a closed environment.
Country standards are a must and only international benchmarking which is generally
not enforced can be relied upon completely. The protocols so created, which would
have the sanctity of the law would be universally enforced to bring into existence a
business enterprise regime in this country thriving on its protocol and enforcement
and the enterprise relying on the BITS architecture wherein security would be a
design element from the stage of the concept itself. Secure software with all inbuilt
security features has been be emphasized all throughout this article.
Conclusion
Complexity is our life and making it simple our goal. Technology gains the highest end
with simplistic products and services. The complexity of IT security gets confounded
with innumerable applications, the processing power, the world wide web interface,
cross enterprise collaboration and the like. Cloud computing, though in its nascent
stage has thrown a major challenge to IT security, the success of which would be
epochal and the IT services would take a well deserving leap forward.
