of Data
Damage to Customer
Confidence
Interruption of
Business Processes
Legal Consequences
The cost of implementing security
measures is not trivial; however, it is a
fraction of the cost of mitigating security
compromises
Benefits of Investing in Security
Reduced downtime and costs associated with
non-availability of systems and applications
Reduced labor costs associated with inefficient
security update deployment
Reduced data loss due to viruses or information
security breaches
Increased protection of intellectual property

The Defense-in-Depth Model
Using a layered approach:
Increases an attacker’s risk of detection
Reduces an attacker’s chance of success
Data
ACLs, encryption, EFS
Application
Application hardening, antivirus
Host
OS hardening, authentication,
patch management, HIDS
Network segments, IPSec, NIDS
Internal Network
Perimeter
Physical Security
Policies, Procedures, & Awareness
Firewalls, Network Access
Quarantine Control
Guards, locks, tracking devices
Security documents, user
education
Description of the Policies,
Procedures, and Awareness
Layer
I think I will wedge
Hey, I need to
configure a firewall.
Which ports should I
block?
They have blocked
my favorite Web
site. Lucky I have a
modem.
the computer room
door open. Much
easier.
I think I will use
my first name as
a password.
Policies, Procedures, and
Awareness Layer Compromise
Say, I run a network
too. How do you
configure your
firewalls?
Hey, nice modem.
What's the number
of that line?
Hi, do you know
where the
computer room is?
I can never think
of a good
password. What
do you use?
Policies, Procedures, and
Awareness Layer Protection

support the
security policy
Description of the Physical Security
Layer
All of the assets within an organization’s
IT infrastructure must be physically
secured
Physical Security Layer
Compromise

10 Immutable Laws of Security
The 10 Immutable Laws of
Security, Part 1
1
If an attacker can persuade you to run his program on
your computer, it is not your computer anymore
2
If an attacker can alter the operating system on your
computer, it is not your computer anymore
3
If an attacker has unrestricted physical access to your
computer, it is not your computer anymore
4
If you allow an attacker to upload programs to your
Web site, it is not your Web site any more
5
Weak passwords prevail over strong security
The 10 Immutable Laws of
Security, Part 2
6
A computer is only as secure as the administrator is
trustworthy
7
Encrypted data is only as secure as the decryption
key
8
Out-of-date antivirus software is only marginally better
than no antivirus software at all
9
Absolute anonymity is not practical in real life nor on
the Web
10
Technology is not a panacea
