TraceSecurity Compromised Assets

Many of the Security-As-A-Service (SAAS) vendors have taken open source vulnerability assessment engines such as Nessus to provide vulnerability assessments to their customers. Nessus is a good application, but its depth is limited, and false-positives are numerous.  I consistently find a higher number of vulnerabilities with our other toolsets.  I am so confident that these services are doing an injustice to their customers that I'm willing to prove it- for FREE! 

If your organization has not conducted a vulnerability assessment in the past the results may be frightening. If you're currently under contract with a vendor let us provide the second set of eyes you need to confirm their diagnosis. If you trace security vulnerabilities to their origin you will often find that things were overlooked. Your digital defense is critical to ensuring your Internet presence and brand remain steadfast. Perimeter security needs to be scoured as throughly as possible. Our free external vulnerability assessment validates your security posture and provides the assurance needed by regulators, executive management, and security-conscious individuals.

Swine Flu Pandemic

The news is going crazy with the recent outbreak of the Swine Flu virus.  The threat level has been raised to a level 5 now, is your organization ready?  Many organizations have worked pandemics into their Incident Response plans in preparation for outbreaks just like what may occur with this flu.  Here are 5 steps to ensure your organization is taking to prepare.

 

1- Governance

When an incident occurs is not the time to be making decisions with regards to plans, escalations, roles, and responsibilities.  Ensure that your governance clearly defines the participants necessary to manage the incident.

2- Ensure Bandwidth for Incident Response

If the plan includes employees remotely accessing the organization ensure adequate bandwidth is in place.  As the types of traffic and network flows change ensure adequate bandwidth is in place. 

3- Quickly Enabling Remote Access

Many organizations are hesitant to enable remote access for all employees.  If a mass enabling is necessary make sure policies and procedures document how this can occur expediently.

4- Communication is Key

 Ensure appropriate capabilities to communicate to employees, suppliers, and vendors are in place.  To ensure minimal business impact plan for potential telephone circuits being overloaded, potential email outages, etc..  Having multiple communications channels that can broadcast to a large group is prudent.

5- Post Mortem

 After any incident it is critical to discuss lessons-learned.  The greatest plans often falter due to the lack of visibility into issues until they happen.  Make sure you can "see the forest through the trees" by testing your Incident Response plans at least yearly.

Manage by Measurement!  Those who try to lead without measurable results will find themselves looking for a job moving forward.  As organizations stress on optimizing risk and regulatory initiatives they need to focus on keeping first things first.  Here is a presentation put together for the ISACA Spring Conference in Los Angeles 2009.
