Why Policy?
• Policies are the least expensive means of control and often the most difficult to implement
• Basic rules for shaping a policy– Policy should never conflict with law– Policy must be able to stand up in court if
challenged– Policy must be properly supported and
administered

Why Policy? (cont’d.)
Policies are important reference documents– For internal audits– For the resolution of legal disputes about
management's due diligence– Policy documents can act as a clear
statement of management's intent
Types of information security policy– Enterprise information security program policy– Issue-specific information security policies– Systems-specific policies

Policy, Standards, and Practices
• Policy : A plan or course of action that influences decisions– must be properly disseminated, read, understood,
agreed-to, and uniformly enforced– require constant modification and maintenance
• Standards – A more detailed statement of what must be done to
comply with policy
• Practices– Procedures and guidelines explain how employees will
comply with policy

philosophy of the organization
• Protects organization from inefficiency and ambiguity– Documents how the technology-based system is
controlled– Identifies the processes and authorities that provide
this control
• Indemnifies the organization against liability for an employee’s inappropriate or illegal system use

System-Specific Security Policy
• System-specific security policies (SysSPs) frequently do not look like other types of policy– may function as standards or procedures to be
used when configuring or maintaining systems
• SysSPs can be separated into– Management guidance– Technical specifications– Or combined in a single policy document

Managerial Guidance SysSPs
• Created by management to guide the implementation and configuration of technology
• Applies to any technology that affects the confidentiality, integrity or availability of information, e.g. firewall configuration
• Informs technologists of management intent

Technical Specifications SysSPs
• System administrators’ directions on implementing managerial policy
• Each type of equipment has its own type of policies
• General methods of implementing technical controls– Access control lists– Configuration rules

20
• Access control lists– Include the user access lists, matrices, and capability
tables that govern the rights and privileges– A similar method that specifies which subjects and
objects users or groups can access is called a capability table
– These specifications are frequently complex matrices, rather than simple lists or tables
– Enable administrations to restrict access according to user, computer, time, duration, or even a particular file

• Access control lists regulate– Who can use the system– What authorized users can access– When authorized users can access the system– Where authorized users can access the system from– How authorized users can access the system– Restricting what users can access, e.g. printers, files,
communications, and applications
• Administrators set user privileges– Read, write, create, modify, delete, compare, copy

A Final Note on Policy
• Lest you believe that the only reason to have policies is to avoid litigation, it is important to emphasize the preventative nature of policy– Policies exist, first and foremost, to inform
employees of what is and is not acceptable behavior in the organization
– Policy seeks to improve employee productivity, and prevent potentially embarrassing situations

Introduction• Some organizations use security program
to describe the entire set of personnel, plans, policies, and initiatives related to information security– The term “information security program” is
used here to describe the structure and organization of the effort that contains risks to the information assets of the organization

Organizing for Security (cont’d.)
• Information security departments tend to form internal groups – To meet long-term challenges and handle day-
to-day security operations
• Functions are likely to be split into groups
• Smaller organizations typically create fewer groups– Perhaps having only one general group of
specialists

38
Organizing for Security (cont’d.)
• Very large organizations (> 10,000 computers– Security budgets often grow faster than IT budgets– Even with a large budgets, the average amount spent
on security per user is still smaller than any other type of organization
• Small organizations spend more than $5,000 per user on security; very large organizations spend about 1/18th of that, roughly $300 per user
– Does a better job in the policy and resource management areas
– Only 1/3 of organizations handled incidents according to an IR plan

Organizing for Security (cont’d.)
• Large organizations– Have 1,000 to 10,000 computers – Security approach has often matured,
integrating planning and policy into the organization’s culture
– Do not always put large amounts of resources into security
• Considering the vast numbers of computers and users often involved
– They tend to spend proportionally less on security

Security in Large Organizations
• One approach separates functions into four areas:– Functions performed by non-technology
business units outside of IT– Functions performed by IT groups outside of
information security area– Functions performed within information
security department as customer service– Functions performed within the information
security department as compliance

• The CISO has responsibility for information security functions – Should be adequately performed somewhere within the
organization
• The deployment of full-time security personnel depends on:– Sensitivity of the information to be protected– Industry regulations– General profitability
• The more money the company can dedicate to its personnel budget– The more likely it is to maintain a large information
security staff

44
Security in Medium-Sized Organizations
• Have between 100 and 1000 computers– Have a smaller total budget– Have same sized security staff as the small
organization, but a larger need– Must rely on help from IT staff for plans and practices– Ability to set policy, handle incidents, and effectively
allocate resources is worse than any other size– May be large enough to implement a multi-tiered
approach to security• With fewer dedicated groups and more functions assigned to
each group
– Tend to ignore some security functions

Security in Small Organizations
• Have between 10 and 100 computers– Have a simple, centralized IT organizational model– Spend disproportionately more on security– Information security is often the responsibility of a
single security administrator– Have little in the way of formal policy, planning, or
security measures– Often outsource Web presence or ecommerce – Security training and awareness is commonly
conducted on a 1-on-1 basis– Policies (when they exist) are often issue-specific – Threats from insiders are less likely
• Every employee knows every other employee

Placing Information Security• In large organizations
– InfoSec is often located within the information technology department
• Headed by the CISO who reports directly to the top computing executive, or CIO
• An InfoSec program is sometimes at odds with the goals and objectives of the IT department as a whole, because the goals and objectives of the CIO and the CISO may come in conflict– It is not difficult to understand the current movement to
separate information security from the IT division– The challenge is to design a reporting structure for the
InfoSec program that balances the needs of each of the communities of interest

Components of the Security Program
• Organization’s information security needs– Unique to the culture, size, and budget of the
organization– Determining what level the information security
program operates on depends on the organization’s strategic plan
• Also the plan’s vision and mission statements• The CIO and CISO should use these two
documents to formulate the mission statement for the information security program

Implementing Security Education, Training, and Awareness Programs
• SETA program– Designed to reduce accidental security
breaches– Consists of three elements: security education,
security training, and security awareness
• Awareness, training, and education programs offer two major benefits:– Improving employee behavior– Enabling the organization to hold employees
accountable for their actions

Implementing SETAPrograms (cont’d.)
• Purpose of SETA is to enhance security:– By building in-depth knowledge, to design,
implement, or operate security programs for organizations and systems
– By developing skills and knowledge so that computer users can perform their jobs while using IT systems more securely
– By improving awareness of the need to protect system resources

• develop customized training or outsource• Customizing training for users
– By functional background• General user • Managerial user• Technical user
– By skill level• Novice• Intermediate• Advanced

Security Awareness
• One of the least frequently implemented, but most effective security methods is the security awareness program
• Security awareness programs: – Set the stage for training by changing
organizational attitudes to realize the importance of security and the adverse consequences of its failure
– Remind users of the procedures to be followed

Security Awareness (cont’d.)
– Refrain from using technical jargon– Define learning objectives, state them clearly,
and provide sufficient detail and coverage– Keep things light– Don’t overload the users – Help users understand their roles in InfoSec– Utilize in-house communications media – Make the awareness program formal– Provide good information early, rather than
perfect information late
