Security Controls

  • Reactive Security

    • Firewalls

    • Antivirus

  • Proactive Security

    • Asset Inventory – What do we want to protect?

    • Risk Management – Evaluate all potential risks and likelihood

    • Security Controls – Hardware and software solutions we can implement to improve security posture.

      • NIST Categories – Publication 800-53

        • Technical or logical – a system: firewall, access control system, IPS, WAF

        • Operational or Administrative – Fixed with people. Security guards. Training

        • Management controls – High level overview. Policies and procedures. Documents.

      • Preventative controls reduce risks

      • Detective controls notify on risks

      • Corrective controls – late fix. Backup and restore. Patching

      • Physical controls – locks, doors, fences. Prevents.

      • Deterrent – Discourages. Warning signs. Security guards. Cameras.

      • Compensating – Substitute. Thoroughly documented and approved.

      • Evaluating Security Control

        • Quality control. Done at factory.

        • Verification – Compliance testing process. Does it meet requirements?

        • Validation – Does it do what we want it to do?

        • Assessments – Subject a product to a checklist of requirements

        • Evaluations – Subjective. Is it properly doing it’s job?

      • Security Audits – More formal evaluations.

      • Continuous monitoring. Continuous risk assessment.
