Site Map:
Area of responsibility:
Network / Physicial / Internet Security Issue: Peer to peer software
downloads
-Why: opens possible exploit by hackers to
internal network computers
-Problems: may want to use instant messenger for live tech support. Policy: NO p2p software is to be running.
eg Yahoo messenger, Moft messenger, Napster, Kazaa, etc
Issue:Fireproof
Safe
-Why: Holds temporary removable harddrives,
all Microsoft licenses, and backup tapes.
-Problems: If left unlocked, in the case of a fire, items may be damaged by smoke, heat, water. Policy: Safe must be locked at all times,
with keys carried by the sysadmin. A second key should be offsite at
another residence, along with a copy of the combination
numbers.
Issue: Logons/logoffs
-Why: Allows tracking of off hours system
use.
-Problems: Users must remember passwords. Policy: Review event logs to see system
use or run a logon Script that runs places a record on the
server.
Issue: Computer Cable
locks
-Why: Prevents smash and grab type of
thefts.
-Problems: Key maintenance, one time cost. Policy: Each system must remain locked to
the desk at all times. Keys are locked within the software cabinet, so
staff must inform the sysadmin if a laptop is going to leave.
Issue: Unauthorized Internet
use
-Why: Copyrighted files can be
uploaded/emailed to other computers.
-Problems: Nearly impossible to police unless computers are in a public location. We can stop individual computers from accessing the net, but it is an all or nothing solution unless parent control software is installed. Policy: At the moment this remains a trust
issue.
Issue: Laptop/ Pocket PC/ Palm data security -Why: Due to ease of theft or accidental
loss, data (including passwords) can be exposed to unauthorized
use.
-Problems: Up the user to protect equipment. Extra steps and software required to encrypt data. Comment: This is a growing concern, and
even one mistake can be costly. I would recommend purchasing an encryption
package for laptop and handheld use.
Policy: Currently no encryption in
place. Users are trusted to protect equipment.
Issue: Wireless Network
Cards
-Why: Convenience in moving laptops around
the home
-Problems: Still a large security risk. Unecessary if you have enough data ports. Neighbors can view your data and use your internet connection. Policy: If you plan ahead, there is no
reason to have wireless lan cards
Issue: Network
Passwords
-Why: Necessary to authenticate a
legitimate user and protect and segregate resources on the
network.
-Problems: People forget them, or write them down and store them in an inappropriate place. People also tend to use the same word format over and over again eg. Tempest1, Tempest2, Tempest3 which negates the reason for changing them every 40 days. Policy: Apply NT's history policy, that
ensures a sequence of passwords are not used. Require everyone to change
their passwords every 40 days. Require that administrative passwords are
collected by the sysadmin and written down and placed in the fireproof
safe.
