Security in a Globalised Environment
- Technology has opened up Global Opportunities and Markets
- It has also lead to a significant increase in the Security Threats to Individuals and Businesses
Mobile Devices estimated to reach 10 Billion by 20161
Accumulated Digital Data to grow to 8 Zettabytes by 20152
- Distributed nature of the threats, makes it difficult for Law Enforcement to address root causes.
Threat often occur from multiple sovereignties each with differing laws and jurisdictional processes
You can’t just block all the traffic, as it is often mixed in with legitimate traffic

Security Measures – Physical Security
- Secure Server Rooms
Restrict Access to only those that require and log/monitor access at all times
Keep Server Rooms neat and documented, so anomalies can be quickly detected
- Restrict Entry to Work Areas to only authorised personnel
- Secure Mobile Assets
In and Out of the Office
- Control Physical Assets that contain data and information at all times
From Creation to Destruction
*

Security Measures – Device Security
- Patch Operating System and Applications consistently and quickly.
Setup an Automatic Mechanism to update
- Install Suitable Security Software
Should include Anti-virus, Firewall, Anti-Spam, Anti-Malware, Web Site Threat Checker
Needs to check for updates multiple times per day
- Encrypt Data on Portable Devices
- Restrict Application Installation/Usage to Only Authorised Applications
- Disable Auto Run / Auto Load of Removal Media
*

Security Measures – Network/System Security
- Apply Multiple Levels of Network Defence
Firewalls / Routers / Gateways
Intrusion Detection Systems
- Monitor Network Continuously and Quickly Act to Protect
Know what devices are on your network at all times and what they are doing
- Apply comprehensive Access Controls to Data
Consider Multi-Factor Authentication such as Tokens, Smart Cards or Biometrics
Remove Access immediately upon personnel change (Staff Departure, Role Change)
- Implement Robust Change Management and Application Development SDLC Processes

Security Measures – User Security
- Security Awareness Training
Threat and Consequence Awareness Training
Anti-Phishing and Anti-Social Engineering Training
What to do if a “Breach” occurs
- Suitable Password
At least 10 Characters with mixture of Upper & Lower Case, Numbers and Special Characters.
However, the longer the password length the less complex it has to be.
Use different passwords for different types of systems. E.g. Social Media, Banking
Change Passwords Regularly
Don’t Share Passwords

Security in a Global Environment
Source: 1. DSD Top 35 Strategies to Mitigate Targeted Cyber Intrusions
1
| Mitigation Strategy Effectiveness Ranking | Mitigation Strategy | Designed to Prevent or Detect an Intrusion | User Resistance | Upfront Cost | Maintenance Cost |
| 1 | Patch applications e.g. PDF viewer, Flash Player, Microsoft Office and Java. Patch or mitigate within two days for high risk vulnerabilities. Use the latest version of applications. | Prevent | Low | High | High |
| 2 | Patch operating system vulnerabilities. Patch or mitigate within two days for high risk vulnerabilities. Use the latest operating system version. | Prevent | Low | Medium | Medium |
| 3 | Minimise the number of users with domain or local administrative privileges. Such users should use a separate unprivileged account for email and web browsing. | Prevent | Medium | Medium | Low |
| 4 | Application whitelisting to help prevent malicious software and other unapproved programs from running e.g. by using Microsoft Software Restriction Policies or AppLocker. | Both | Medium | High | Medium |

| Security Controls | Preventive | Detective | Corrective |
| Access Control | Enforce strong passwords Use two-factor authentication | Extend existing auditing and monitoring controls around mobile device connections | Conduct regular reviews of devices connecting to corporate network |
| Data Protection | Encrypt business data Limit the sensitive data transferred to mobile devices, or implement least privilege access Implement remote device management Enable device-lockout function when the device is not in use | Perform technical security assessments on mobile devices and supporting infrastructure with emphasis on data stored on devices Monitor access and usage of high-risk data to identify potentially inappropriate usage | Implement appropriate measures to eliminate or reduce the risk impact - either by enhancements in technology or by updating the policies/procedures |
| Application Security | Allow only certified business applications | Regularly monitor installed applications to identify risks to corporate data | Remove applications identified to be untrustworthy or malicious |
| Fundamental Controls | Install anti malware software Install and manage personal firewall to permit only authorised traffic | Regularly monitor compliance reports Setup alerts to identify changes | Eradicate and/or repair any devices identified to be non-complaint from company defined policy |
| Governance and Compliance | Include mobile security into the organisations risk management program Add mobile security awareness to existing employee awareness programs Implement mobile device policies and include them in them in the Acceptable Use Policies | Add mobile devices in the organisations audit program Monitor and maintain logs of mobile device interactions with corporate network | Address and mitigate any non-compliance Incorporate mobile devices into incident response plan Regularly review mobile device acquisition and usage |

Cloud Computing Security
- Fully Understand the Cloud Providers Environment
Service Levels
Where you Data will be stored.
Access rights to Government under local laws where that data will be stored
Data Transfer Options should you want to move to another provider
Data Retention Periods
- Encrypt your Data
Particularly for Sensitive Data
Should be Independent of Current Cloud Provider
