IT operating responsibilities and procedures should be documented. Changes to IT facilities and systems should be controlled. Capacity and performance should be managed. Development, test and operational systems should be separated.
Appropriate backups should be taken and retained in accordance with a backup policy. Clocks should be synchronized. Technical vulnerabilities should be patched, and there should be rules in place governing software installation by users. IT audits should be planned and controlled to minimize adverse effects on production systems, or inappropriate data access. Networks and network services should be secured, for example by segregation.
There should be policies, procedures and agreements e. Security control requirements should be analyzed and specified, including web applications and transactions. Changes to systems both applications and operating systems should be controlled. Software packages should ideally not be modified, and secure system engineering principles should be followed. The development environment should be secured, and outsourced development should be controlled.
System security should be tested and acceptance criteria defined to include security aspects. Note: there is a typo in See the status update below, or technical corrigendum 2 for the official correction. There should be policies, procedures, awareness etc.
Service changes should be controlled. There should be responsibilities and procedures to manage report, assess, respond to and learn from information security events, incidents and weaknesses consistently and effectively, and to collect forensic evidence. IT facilities should have sufficient redundancy to satisfy availability requirements.
The standard concludes with a reading list of 27! A simple monodigit typo resulting in a reference from section Esteemed representatives of a number of national standards bodies met in person to discuss and consider this dreadful situation at some length and some cost to their respective taxpayers. What on Earth could be done about it?
Unanimous agreement on a simple fix! What a relief! Presents the compelling business case for implementing ISO to protect your information assets.
Perfect for supporting an ISO project proposal. This book is intended for everyone in an organization who wishes to have a basic understanding of information security. Knowledge about information security is important to all employees. It makes no difference if you work in a profit- or non-profit organization because the risks that organizations face are similar for all organizations. It clearly explains the approaches that most organizations can consider and implement which helps turn Information Security management into an approachable, effective and well-understood tool.
It covers: The quality requirements an organization may have for information; The risks associated with these quality requirements; The countermeasures that are necessary to mitigate these risks; Ensuring business continuity in the event of a disaster; When and whether to report incidents outside the organization. But the text also refers to the other relevant international standards for information security.
The text is structured as follows: Fundamental Principles of Security and Information security and Risk management.
Architecture, processes and information, needed for basic understanding of what information security is about. Business Assets are discussed. Measures that can be taken to protect information assets. Physical measures, technical measures and finally the organizational measures. The primary objective of this book is to achieve awareness by students who want to apply for a basic information security examination.
It is a source of information for the lecturer who wants to question information security students about their knowledge. Each chapter ends with a case study.
In order to help with the understanding and coherence of each subject, these case studies include questions relating to the areas covered in the relevant chapters.
Examples of recent events that illustrate the vulnerability of information are also included. Application Security in the ISO Environment explains how organisations can implement and maintain effective security practices to protect their web applications — and the servers on which they reside — as part of a wider information security management system by following the guidance set out in the international standard for information security management, ISO The book describes the methods used by criminal hackers to attack organisations via their web applications and provides a detailed explanation of how you can combat such attacks by employing the guidance and controls set out in ISO Provides a full introduction to ISO and information security management systems, including implementation guidance.
Describes risk assessment, management and treatment approaches. Examines common types of web app security attack, including injection attacks, cross-site scripting, and attacks on authentication and session management, explaining how each can compromise ISO control objectives and showing how to test for each attack type. Discusses the ISO controls relevant to application security. A formal, documented evaluation of controls occurs frequently. Many controls are automated and regularly reviewed.
Management is likely to detect most control issues, but not all issues are routinely identified. There is consistent follow-up to address identified control weaknesses. A limited, tactical use of technology is applied to automate controls. Assessment of control requirements is based on policy and the actual maturity of these processes, following a thorough and measured analysis involving key stakeholders. Accountability for these assessments is clear and enforced.
Improvement strategies are supported by business cases. Performance in achieving the desired outcomes is consistently monitored. External control reviews are organized occasionally.
Are the assets and security processes associated with each particular system identified and clearly defined? You will also notice that I have cross-referenced each of the steps to the appropriate sections within CobiT. Subscription pricing is determined by: the specific standard s or collections of standards, the number of locations accessing the standards, and the number of employees that need access.
