Introduction to IT Security

by Rodgers Moore

Introduction

The word security can mean many things to many different people. Ask one hundred people to define security and you'll get an amazing number of answers. The definition I like best is the one you would get from my youngest niece. I'm sure she would say her blanky. Security is a warm fuzzy feeling, confidence that nothing can go wrong. Isn't that the real objective in IT security: to get to that warm fuzzy place that my niece goes when she cuddles up with her blanky? So, forget firewalls, hackers, exploits, and viruses and focus on the objective of feeling warm and fuzzy, that is, warm and fuzzy about your IT security.

That's nice of me to say isn't it? You really can't forget all of the components that go into implementing a security policy and security system. You have to methodically determine your policy and select products that satisfy your policy and budget and to manage risk. My favorite question is "What's the best firewall?" I rephrase it back to the asker "What's the best firewall for you? I don't know. What's your quantifiable risk?" Without knowing your risk, you can't establish a budget. Without a budget, you can't purchase the best firewall for you.

The next time someone says that they have a firewall and their network is secure, you'll know that they've found their warm, fuzzy place. Have some fun and take their warm, fuzzy place away from them with a few simple questions. "How do you know, I mean, really know, you're secure? What did your last audit tell you? Or do your daily reports/logs, show everything is fine?" In all reality, it's very likely that an audit has never been done, and they've never reviewed the firewall logs. People who don't review firewall logs don't realize how often they are pinged or scanned. People who do, will tell you that they are scanned or pinged an average of six times a day by legitimate Internet mapping services.

How do you know your security is where it should be? When you've found your warm fuzzy place, and you know without a doubt everything is fine. Simple questions won't be able to shake your confidence and you'll know the answers to all of these simple questions Who? What? When? Where? How? and Why?

How to Use the Security Series

This paper is to serve as the foundation for a series of papers discussing specific topics concerning IT Security, such as firewalls, intrusion detection, vulnerability scanning and the outlined topics required to pass Cisco CCNP Security specialization and CCIE Security. As a foundation paper, the topics discussed here are not core information for manufacturers' certifications, but are intended to prepare you to be a security professional, and the topics are not covered in as great a detail as the topic specific tutorials.

Within this paper, I share experiences from my security consulting, usually to highlight how not to do something. I use fictitious names for people, places, and companies. Similarities to real companies or real people are pure coincidence since none of the stories is true.

Objective of this Paper

After reading this paper you should understand the process of securing an organization's IT systems, be able to gather the appropriate information to write and implement a security policy, determine risk, and set a budget for your security systems. The security policy will make product selection and implementation relatively easy since the policy is your roadmap and plan.

Security Policy is your Security

This section covers the components of security relating to information technology and the components you will include in your organization's security policy and security systems.

A Security Policy is written documentation of your organization's security posture. The policy will normally be written as two separate documents. The first is the private policy that is only available to upper management, auditors, and to IT staff that require it to perform their jobs. The private policy will contain the answers to six simple questions Who? What? When? Where? How? and Why? The second is the public policy that is included in employee handbooks, posted on bulletin boards, and given to anyone who wants one. The public policy is simply a subset of the private policy and will contain only the information required by employees and partners. This paper focuses on the private policy.

The public policy includes information like the following:

• Who should read and adhere to the policy.

• How often users must change their passwords.

• When to tell someone (including IT staff) your password: NEVER!

• Why an employee can be terminated, such as: viewing pornography, unauthorized access to payroll information, unacceptable use of business resources.

• When and how visitors must be escorted.

• What to do if you witness a policy violation.

The private policy should contain a lot of additional documentation that is not appropriate for public distribution. That is the primary difference. If you decide that the best response to an intrusion detection is to unplug the Internet connection, then you might want to include a diagram that shows where the equipment is, where the carrier circuit is, the Circuit ID, and the carrier's phone number. If you are a US financial institution, then you'll want to document where the nearest Secret Service Office is, their telephone number, and the names of agents that cover your territory. Any piece of information that will make your job easier should be in this document. You'll be happy you did, especially in a crisis.

The private policy will ask and answer the six simple questions Who? What? When? Where? How? and Why? at several different levels so they can be answered many different ways, but the highest level defines our policy content.

Table 1. Key Questions in Developing Policy

You probably thought security policies were hard. Now you know there are only six little words between you and that warm fuzzy place.

Categorizing Threats: Interior and Exterior vs. Structured and Unstructured

Threats are defined as any act or inaction that can cause loss or create liability for your organization. The loss does not need to be monetary. The loss of reputation can easily translate into lost sales and customers. Inaction might be the case of not having a security policy in place. By having a policy against pornography, you may limit your liability to sexual harassment suits.

Threats are usually discussed one of two ways: internal/external or structured/unstructured. Law Enforcement will categorize everything as structured or unstructured. Most organizations like to think of threats as internal or external. A security professional needs to think both ways. This will help you communicate to your management and to law enforcement.

Interior and Exterior threats are easy to categorize; simply, do the threats exist inside or outside your organization?

Governments, organized crime, or well-planned or financed hackers are examples of structured threats. Structured threats are ones that are planned, pre-meditated, or have a specific goal or outcome. A single hacker can be considered structured or unstructured dependent on their actions and behavior.

Threats can be very difficult to categorize as structured or unstructured. I find it easier to try to determine whether a threat is unstructured, and if it isn't, then it must be structured. An unstructured threat will usually have one of the following (or similar) words associated with it; random, accident, oversight, mistake, unplanned, or act of God. (Although, from God's viewpoint, I guess it would be structured.)

Just Because

There are many reasons that systems are attacked. This one I don't get, but this is a real threat. Some people, mostly kids, have too much time spare time and get bored. To break that boredom, they attack systems just to see what they can do for the challenge, the excitement, and the bragging right. This is how and when most hackers learn their skills.

Camouflage

If you're going to attack something seriously, you don't want to give yourself away. So you hack into someone else first, then attack from there. A serious hacker will scan the Internet looking for unprotected systems, hack into them, and take complete control. Now he has a place to attack from and hide his true origin. If done properly, it can be nearly impossible to trace where the real attack came from. Attacking a system from somewhere that will disguise the true origin of the attack is known as camouflage.

Revenge

Anyone or any organization that would like to see your organization suffer or harmed is someone who would like revenge. A fired employee, a party that lost a law suit against you, an ex-spouse, an ex business partner, or a competitor are all examples of people who might want revenge against you or your organization.

Profit -- Monetary

Most of us think of banks as being the primary target of this type of threat. Greed is a great motivator to those who want money and will do anything to get it. There are other ways to benefit monetarily than to transfer money from one place to another. What if a loan or mortgage appeared to be paid off or approved in the lending institution's computer? Or products were shipped from the warehouse without an order? Or open invoices were marked as paid? What if a competitor caused you to miss a contract deadline by canceling product orders? Could they steal the business from you? If someone could tap into your email system, could they profit on the stock market by knowing your quarterly report before it was public knowledge? Could they benefit from merger and acquisition or contract information in the same way?

Profit -- Non-monetary

Some hackers benefit through camouflage, revenge, and the feeling of accomplishment. These are all non-monetary threats. Non-monetary profit would be a competitor gaining market share from your loss of reputation. If you take credit card orders via the web and a hacker steals all of your credit card information, wouldn't your customers be less inclined to do business with you? And wouldn't the competitor benefit from your loss of reputation? The monetary gain is indirect. A competitor stealing your customer list is another indirect source of monetary gain. What if a competitor could disrupt your billing and collection systems to cause you financial difficulty? What if the wrong parts were delivered to assembly lines and a manufacturing plant was shut down for a day? Or what if the wrong parts were installed and this caused a product recall a year from now or high failure rates? This would result in lost reputation, revenue, and possibly product liability from consumers being injured by the defective product. As you can see, the possibilities are endless.
