System Security Plans are part of the required documentation for certification and accreditation package. Documenting your SSP can be a daunting task, so how can you make it easy? This overview session covers; who is responsible for the SSP, plan contents, overview of implementation detail for selected controls, flexibility of the SSP, plan maintenance issues, and what a SSP is not
Safety is an important consideration in process design. Safety integrity level (or SIL) is often used to describe process safety requirements. However, there are often misconceptions or misunder- standings surrounding SIL. While the general subject, functional safety and SIL, can be highly technical, the general ideas can be distilled down to a few readily understandable concepts. In this paper, we will discuss what SIL is, why it is important, what certification means, and the implications and benefits of that certification to the end user.

Systems architecture with the functional safety/security emphasisAlan Tatourian
Systems Architecture with the Functional Safety-Security emphasis
I was asked to give a talk on the unification of Functional Safety (FuSa) and Security for which I replied that two disciplines cannot be viewed separately from Systems Engineering. Instead of talking about safety/security interop, I explained how to build complex systems and how these systems fail. Only when you understand that we do not know how to build absolutely reliable systems and that eventually anything you create fails, you can understand how to add reliability and security mechanisms to your solutions. The summary of the presentation is:
Envision how your solution will be operated
Design for maintainability
Add safety concept
Add security mechanisms
Build for failure
A secure system is one where the features are relatively inaccessible to unauthorized users, therefore the system is protected.
A safe system needs to be secure, whereas, a secure system may not need to be safe depending on the application.

Enumerating software security design flaws throughout the ssdlc cosac - 201...John M. Willis
A tool and methodology to enumerate security functional requirements arising in the solution space is described. A proof of concept tool for use by security architects and security engineers is described. The tool facilitates use of community-developed security requirements packages, security functional requirements, threat model taxonomy including mitigations. A risk-based decision making process is facilitated. Tool outputs used for change checklist, new test requirements, system security plan, risk decision documentation, deferred controls, and inherited controls.
AUTOMATED PENETRATION TESTING: AN OVERVIEWcscpconf
The using of information technology resources is rapidly increasing in organizations,
businesses, and even governments, that led to arise various attacks, and vulnerabilities in the
field. All resources make it a must to do frequently a penetration test (PT) for the environment
and see what can the attacker gain and what is the current environment's vulnerabilities. This
paper reviews some of the automated penetration testing techniques and presents its
enhancement over the traditional manual approaches. To the best of our knowledge, it is the
first research that takes into consideration the concept of penetration testing and the standards
in the area.This research tackles the comparison between the manual and automated
penetration testing, the main tools used in penetration testing. Additionally, compares between
some methodologies used to build an automated penetration testing platform.
An introduction to Security in Control Systems.

Building a Product Security Practice in a DevOps WorldArun Prabhakar
This is a whitepaper on Product Security that largely focusses on building key security capabilities for products that are developed using DevOps methodology. It also consists of an effort to set up and accomplish the governance of Product Security in the DevOps world.
This article examines the emerging need for software assurance. As defense contractors continue to develop systems for the Department of Defense (DoD) those systems must meet stringent requirements for deployment. However as over half of the vulnerabilities are found at the application layer organizations must ensure that proper mechanisms are in place to ensure the integrity, availability, and confidentiality of the code is maintained.

Security Testing for Testing ProfessionalsTechWell
Today’s software applications are often security-critical, making security testing an essential part of a software quality program. Unfortunately, most testers have not been taught how to effectively test the security of the software applications they validate. Join Jeff Payne as he shares what you need to know to integrate effective security testing into your everyday software testing activities. Learn how software vulnerabilities are introduced into code and exploited by hackers. Discover how to define and validate security requirements. Explore effective test techniques for assuring that common security features are tested. Learn about the most common security vulnerabilities and how to identify key security risks within applications and use testing to mitigate them. Understand how to security test applications—both web- and GUI-based—during the software development process. Review examples of how common security testing tools work and assist the security testing process. Take home valuable tools and techniques for effectively testing the security of your applications going forward.
Many companies and agencies conduct IT audits to test and assess the.docxtienboileau
Many companies and agencies conduct IT audits to test and assess the rigor of IT security controls in order to mitigate risks to IT networks. Such audits meet compliance mandates by regulatory organizations. Federal IT systems follow Federal Information System Management Act (FISMA) guidelines and report security compliance to US-CERT, the United States Computer Emergency Readiness Team, which handles defense and response to cyberattacks as part of the Department of Homeland Security. In addition, the Control Objective for Information Technology (COBIT) is a set of IT security guidelines that provides a framework for IT security for IT systems in the commercial sector.
These audits are comprehensive and rigorous, and negative findings can lead to significant fines and other penalties. Therefore, industry and federal entities conduct internal self-audits in preparation for actual external IT audits, and compile security assessment reports.
In this project, you will develop a 12-page written
security assessment report
and
executive briefing (slide presentation)
for a company and submit the report to the leadership of that company.
There are six steps to complete the project. Most steps in this project should take no more than two hours to complete, and the project as a whole should take no more than three weeks to complete. Begin with the workplace scenario, and then continue to Step 1.
Step 1: Conduct a Security Analysis Baseline
In the first step of the project, you will conduct a security analysis baseline of the IT systems, which will include a data-flow diagram of connections and endpoints, and all types of access points, including wireless. The baseline report will be part of the overall security assessment report (SAR).
You will get your information from a data-flow diagram and report from the Microsoft Threat Modeling Tool 2016. The scope should include network IT security for the whole organization. Click the following to view the data-flow diagram:
[diagram and report]
Include the following areas in this portion of the SAR:
Security requirements and goals for the preliminary security baseline activity.
Typical attacks to enterprise networks and their descriptions. Include Trojans, viruses, worms, denial of service, session hijacking, and social engineering. Include the impacts these attacks have on an organization.
Network infrastructure and diagram, including configuration and connections. Describe the security posture with respect to these components and the security employed: LAN, MAN, WAN, enterprise. Use these questions to guide you:
What are the security risks and concerns?
What are ways to get real-time understanding of the security posture at any time?
How regularly should the security of the enterprise network be tested, and what type of tests should be used?
What are the processes in play, or to be established to respond to an incident?
Workforce skill is a critical success factor in any.
