Managing internet security

Many Victorian public sector agencies are now using the internet to improve the community’s access to information and to deliver services to their customers. Their use of the internet for internal purposes also continues to grow. As it does, so does the need for effective internet security to provide a reliable and problem-free environment for users, and to safeguard agency data.

Bootstrapping the Adoption of Internet Security Protocols

The deployment of network-wide security enhancements to the Internet has proven more difficult than many had initially anticipated. We leverage existing models of networks’ value to model the problem of bootstrapping the adoption of security technologies. We describe a variety of policy interventions and deployment strategies that can help to catalyze this adoption. Using this framework, we provide a series of short case studies for previous attempts to deploy security technologies to the Internet. We then provide a detailed study of strategies for deploying security-enhanced protocols into the Internet’s Domain Name System (DNS). Finally, we show how the adoption of these DNS security enhancements can help to alleviate bootstrapping problems that have impeded the deployment of other security-enhanced protocols.

Personal Internet Security

The Internet is a powerful force for good: within 20 years it has expanded from
almost nothing to a key component of critical national infrastructure and a driver
of innovation and economic growth. It facilitates the spread of information, news
and culture. It underpins communications and social networks across the world. A
return to a world without the Internet is now hardly conceivable.

Using Cartoons to Teach Internet Security

Online fraud is threatening organizations and individuals alike, and many fear that it can turn into a weapon of electronic warfare within the not so distant future. There is a strong consensus that we, as a society, need to improve our resilience against this threat. This goal can be reached using at least three principal approaches: Software-based security initiatives, legal and regulatory efforts, and educational approaches. While the approaches are complementary, they are not entirely independent. For example, legal and regulatory efforts are limited by technological issues for detection and enforcement. Likewise, the impact of client-side software initiatives is affected by educational efforts relating how to use the technology, and how to maintain the integrity of deployed software. In turn, regulatory efforts fuel software development and deployment, and recent FFEIC guidance [19] encourages financial institutions to educate their clients.

Internet Security and Acceleration Server Health Check

The Microsoft® Internet Security and Acceleration (ISA) Server Health Check provides an opportunity to review the configuration of your ISA Server environment and identify any potential threats that could impact your organization. The engagement uses a number of tools to collect data and statistics that help to identify performance enhancements, security risks, and client configuration concerns. The tools are passive and only collect information about your ISA Server configuration—they do not make any changes to the configuration itself.

Unbreakable: Oracle’s Commitment to Security

Beginning in November 2001, Oracle began a marketing campaign: Unbreakable.
The security portions of the campaign reference Oracle’s 14 independent security evaluations (described below in What is Information Assurance?). Such a bold statement raises a number of questions:
• How can anyone claim to be Unbreakable? Security professionals often say that security is a process, not a result. Also, every software product has bugs, and some of those are security bugs.
• Why would anyone claim to be Unbreakable? Security professionals don’t like to be hacker targets, and some hackers wonder if this campaign is a ploy by Oracle to get free “security research.”
• What does Unbreakable really mean? How can vendors and customers know how secure a product is, and whether the security is sustained from release to release? Building secure software is so hard, why even bother, much less try for Unbreakable?

Oracle Database Security Checklist

For several major releases of the database, the Oracle documentation has provided a security checklist for customers to follow to help secure Oracle database environments. Since Oracle9i, Oracle has been working with customers to better understand their desired default configurations and harden the Oracle environment. Oracle Database 10g Release 1 Enterprise Manager (EM) Configuration pack introduced the policy manager which has the ability to scan databases and look for security related configuration status. The EM policy manager continues to be enhanced and provides a powerful tool for DBAs and security officers to scan installations for incorrect configuration settings such as unlocked default accounts. The Oracle Technology Network provides additional information on the EM policy manager tool and it’s configuration scanning capabilities.
