Risk Assessment Business Policy Decision Communication between technical and administrative employees Internal vs. external resources Legal and regulatory requirements Developing security capabilities Cost Security level 0 %100% Optimal level of security at a minimum cost Security Investment Cost of Breaches 5

6. Understanding Cyber Security Risk Cyber Security Threats Extortion Hacks Attacks That Change or Manipulate Data Attacks That Change or Manipulate Data Chip-and-PIN Innovations The Rise of the IoT Zombie Botnet More Backdoors Source: Wired, http://www.wired.com/2016/01/the- biggest-security-threats-well-face-in-2016/ http://www.wired.com/2016/01/the- biggest-security-threats-well-face-in-2016/ 2016 6

7. Security Objectives Confidentiality: prevent/detect/deter improper disclosure of information Integrity: prevent/detect/deter improper modification of information Availability: prevent/detect/deter improper denial of access to services 7

8. Independent from system and network Database Management System (DBMS) is responsible for protecting data items Main database types: – Enterprise – Statistical Traditional Data Security 8

9. Sensitive Data Inherently sensitive From a sensitive source Declared sensitive Part of a sensitive attribute or record In relation to previously disclosed information 9

10. Types of Disclosures Exact data Range of data Negative results Existence Probable values SSN: 111-22-3333 10

11. Access Control Mechanisms Cryptography Security through Views Stored Procedures Grant and Revoke Query modification 11

12. Goal Goal: provide aggregate information about groups of individuals  E.g., average grade point of students Security risk Security risk: specific information about a particular individual  E.g., grade point of student John Smith Statistical Databases 12

13. Statistical Data Protection Query restriction Data perturbation Output perturbation ? ? 13

14. Database Inference Attacks General Purpose Database: Non-confidential data + Metadata  Undesired Inferences Web Enabled Data: Non-confidential data + Metadata (data and application semantics) + Computational Power + Connectivity  Undesired Inferences 14

16. Big Data Characteristics Big Data Characteristics Volume – Simple SQL analytics (data warehouse) – Complex analytics (clustering, trend detection, etc.) Variety – Enterprise data: spreadsheets, documents, web pages – Public data Velocity – Live database – Fast growth Hadoop 16

17. Big Data Security Access Control – Distributed, massively parallel processing – Data at rest, in transit, during processing Inference control – Discovery – Sensitive metadata – Use of discovered knowledge 17
