16
CSCE 522 - Farkas 16 Lecture 1 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
17
CSCE 522 - Farkas 17 Lecture 1 Military Example Confidentiality: target coordinates of a missile should not be improperly disclosed Integrity: target coordinates of missile should be correct Availability: missile should fire when proper command is issued
18
CSCE 522 - Farkas 18 Lecture 1 Commercial Example Confidentiality: patient’s medical information should not be improperly disclosed Integrity: patient’s medical information should be correct Availability: patient’s medical information can be accessed when needed for treatment
19
CSCE 522 - Farkas 19 Lecture 1 Fourth Objective Securing computing resources: prevent/detect/deter improper use of computing resources Hardware Software Data Network
20
What is the trade off between the security objectives? CSCE 522 - Farkas 20 Lecture 1
21
CSCE 522 - Farkas 21 Lecture 1 Achieving Security Policy What to protect? Mechanism How to protect? Assurance How good is the protection?
22
CSCE 522 - Farkas 22 Lecture 1 Security Policy Organizational Policy Computerized Information System Policy
23
Why do we need to fit the security policy into the organizational policy? CSCE 522 - Farkas 23 Lecture 1
24
CSCE 522 - Farkas 24 Lecture 1 Security Mechanism Prevention Detection Tolerance/Recovery
25
CSCE 522 - Farkas 25 Lecture 1 Security by Obscurity Hide inner working of the system Bad idea! Vendor independent open standard Widespread computer knowledge
26
CSCE 522 - Farkas 26 Lecture 1 Security by Legislation Instruct users how to behave Not good enough! Important Only enhance security Targets only some of the security problems
27
CSCE 522 - Farkas 27 Lecture 1 Security Tradeoffs COST Security Functionality Ease of Use
28
CSCE 522 - Farkas 28 Lecture 1 Threat, Vulnerability, Risk Threat: potential occurrence that can have an undesired effect on the system Vulnerability: characteristics of the system that makes is possible for a threat to potentially occur Attack: action of malicious intruder that exploits vulnerabilities of the system to cause a threat to occur Risk: measure of the possibility of security breaches and severity of the damage
29
Distinguish among vulnerability, threat, and control (protection). CSCE 522 - Farkas 29 Lecture 1
30
CSCE 522 - Farkas 30 Lecture 1 Types of Threats (1) Errors of users Natural/man-made/machine disasters Dishonest insider Disgruntled insider Outsiders
31
CSCE 522 - Farkas 31 Lecture 1 Types of Threats (2) Disclosure threat – dissemination of unauthorized information Integrity threat – incorrect modification of information Denial of service threat – access to a system resource is blocked
32
CSCE 522 - Farkas 32 Lecture 1 Types of Attacks (1) Interruption – an asset is destroyed, unavailable or unusable (availability) Interception – unauthorized party gains access to an asset (confidentiality) Modification – unauthorized party tampers with asset (integrity) Fabrication – unauthorized party inserts counterfeit object into the system (authenticity) Denial – person denies taking an action (authenticity)
33
CSCE 522 - Farkas 33 Lecture 1 Types of Attacks (2) Passive attacks: Eavesdropping Monitoring Active attacks: Masquerade – one entity pretends to be a different entity Replay – passive capture of information and its retransmission Modification of messages – legitimate message is altered Denial of service – prevents normal use of resources
34
CSCE 522 - Farkas 34 Lecture 1 Computer Crime Any crime that involves computers or aided by the use of computers U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation: reports uniform crime statistics
35
Malicious Attacks M ethod: skills, knowledge, tools, information, etc. O pportunity: time and access M otive: reason to perform the action How can defense influence these aspects of attacks? CSCE 522 - Farkas 35 Lecture 1
36
CSCE 522 - Farkas 36 Lecture 1 Computer Criminals Amateurs: regular users, who exploit the vulnerabilities of the computer system Motivation: easy access to vulnerable resources Crackers: attempt to access computing facilities for which they do not have the authorization Motivation: enjoy challenge, curiosity Career criminals: professionals who understand the computer system and its vulnerabilities Motivation: personal gain (e.g., financial)
37
CSCE 522 - Farkas 37 Lecture 1 Methods of Defense Prevent: block attack Deter: make the attack harder Deflect: make other targets more attractive Detect: identify misuse Tolerate: function under attack Recover: restore to correct state
38
CSCE 522 - Farkas 38 Lecture 1 Information Security Planning Organization Analysis Risk management Mitigation approaches and their costs Security policy Implementation and testing Security training and awareness
39
CSCE 522 - Farkas 39 Lecture 1 Risk Management
40
CSCE 522 - Farkas 40 Lecture 1 Risk Assessment RISK Threats VulnerabilitiesConsequences
41
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
42
CSCE 522 - Farkas 42 Lecture 1 Real Cost of Cyber Attack Damage of the target may not reflect the real amount of damage Services may rely on the attacked service, causing a cascading and escalating damage Need: support for decision makers to – Evaluate risk and consequences of cyber attacks – Support methods to prevent, deter, and mitigate consequences of attacks
43
CSCE 522 - Farkas 43 Lecture 1 Risk Management Framework (Business Context) Understand Business Context Identify Business and Technical Risks Synthesize and Rank Risks Define Risk Mitigation Strategy Carry Out Fixes and Validate Measurement and Reporting
44
CSCE 522 - Farkas 44 Lecture 1 Risk Acceptance Certification How well the system meet the security requirements (technical) Accreditation Management’s approval of automated system (administrative)
