Book excerpt: Throughout history, successful military operations have depended upon timely and accurate information. In the age of digital electronics, our forces rely upon computers and telecommunications as essential information capabilities that are being networked into a complex. massive Global Information Grid (GIG). The GIG is vital to achieving Information Superiority - the key enabler to achieving the Joint Vision 2O1O goal of Full Spectrum Dominance. The organizational and procedural framework to manage the GIG is provided by Network Operations (NETOPS). Because these information capabilities are so valuable as weapons. they are also lucrative targets that are under threat of harm in all national security situations from peacetime through full-scale war. In this environment of danger, where every connection to a network must be regarded as a potential threat avenue of approach, we must conduct Information Operations (IO) to defend our own information and information systems and to affect adversary information and information systems that can be used against us. Information Assurance (IA) is a major subset of Information Operations that includes measures to protect and defend at the tactical, operational, and strategic levels. NETOPS integrates Information Assurance with Network Management and Information Dissemination Management (IDM). The Information Assurance challenges before us are clearly and sharply evident. We can and will prevail over these challenges through a DEFENSE IN DEPTH approach to Information Assurance. DEFENSE IN DEPTH integrates the capabilities of people, operations. and technology to achieve strong, effective, multi-layer, multi-dimensional protection. This publication is our first venture in a projected series intended to assist and guide those who defend our computers and computer networks. We seek a wide readership for this brochure, and encourage and welcome constructive comment.

Download or read book Information Assurance written by Joseph Boyce and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2002-06-25 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by two INFOSEC experts, this book provides a systematic and practical approach for establishing, managing and operating a comprehensive Information Assurance program. It is designed to provide ISSO managers, security managers, and INFOSEC professionals with an understanding of the essential issues required to develop and apply a targeted information security posture to both public and private corporations and government run agencies.There is a growing concern among all corporations and within the security industry to come up with new approaches to measure an organization's information security risks and posture. Information Assurance explains and defines the theories and processes that will help a company protect its proprietary information including: * The need to assess the current level of risk.* The need to determine what can impact the risk.* The need to determine how risk can be reduced.The authors lay out a detailed strategy for defining information security, establishing IA goals, providing training for security awareness, and conducting airtight incident response to system compromise. Such topics as defense in depth, configuration management, IA legal issues, and the importance of establishing an IT baseline are covered in-depth from an organizational and managerial decision-making perspective. Experience-based theory provided in a logical and comprehensive manner. Management focused coverage includes establishing an IT security posture, implementing organizational awareness and training, and understanding the dynamics of new technologies. Numerous real-world examples provide a baseline for assessment and comparison.

Download or read book Defense in Depth written by Prescott E. Small and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2011-11-14 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This peer reviewed work addresses how Businesses and Information Technology Security Professionals have spent a tremendous amount of time, money and resources to deploy a Defense in Depth approach to Information Technology Security. Yet successful attacks against RSA, HB Gary, Booz, Allen & Hamilton, the United States Military, and many others are examples of how Defense in Depth, as practiced, is unsustainable and the examples show that the enemy cannot be eliminated permanently. A closer look at how Defense in Depth evolved and how it was made to fit within Information Technology is important to help better understand the trends seen today. Knowing that Defense in Depth, as practiced, actually renders the organization more vulnerable is vital to understanding that there must be a shift in attitudes and thinking to better address the risks faced in a more effective manner. Based on examples in this paper, a change is proposed in the current security and risk management models from the Defense in Depth model to Sustained Cyber-Siege Defense. The implications for this are significant in that there have to be transitions in thinking as well as how People, Process and Technology are implemented to better defend against a never ending siege by a limitless number and variety of attackers that cannot be eliminated. The suggestions proposed are not a drastic change in operations as much as how defenses area aligned, achieve vendor collaboration by applying market pressures and openly sharing information with each other as well as with federal and state agencies. By more accurately describing the problems, corporations and IT Security Professionals will be better equipped to address the challenges faced together.

Download or read book Information Assurance and the Defense in Depth A Study of Infosec Warriors and Infosec Cowboys written by and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study investigates the Army's ability to provide information assurance for the NIPRNET. Information assurance includes those actions that protect and defend information and information systems by ensuring availability, integrity, authentication, confidentiality, and non-repudiation. The study examines how the military's defense in depth policy provides information assurance with a system of layered network defenses. The study also examines current practices used in the corporate world to provide information assurance. With the cooperation of the Human Firewall Council, the study compared the performance of four organizations according to standards developed for the Council Council's Security Management Index. The four participants in the study included: an Army Directorate of Information Management, a government agency, a university, and a web development company. The study also compared the performance of the four participants with the aggregate results obtained by the Human Firewall Council. The study concluded the defense in depth policy does grant the Army an advantage over other organizations for providing information assurance. However, the Army would benefit from incorporating some of the common practices of private corporations in their overall information assurance plans.

Book excerpt: Academic Paper from the year 2017 in the subject Computer Science - IT-Security, grade: A, Saint Leo University, language: English, abstract: In this paper, the author will dive into the motivation behind "Defense in Depth" and a different layered approach to ensure the security of an information infrastructure. Furthermore, different counter measures to protect the integrity of the information system from both internal and external attacks will be analyzed. Considering the recent cyber-attacks around the world it is understandable that organizations are considering ways to prevent, mitigate and control their information infrastructure against both internal and external attacks. The concept of Defense in Depth (DiD) revolves around using various methods to protect information systems (layered Defense) that work together in a coordinated manner to protect a network from an attack. Although, it is difficult to guarantee the total protection of a system from eternal attacks, using different counter measures can mitigate these threats to the integrity of the information system. Defense in Depth entails the use of holistic strategies to analyze and identify potential attack surfaces to secure the information system from both internal and external threats.
