Book Description
Time Based Security in a NutshellThe model for Time Based Security (TBS) originated with conversations with Bob Ayers, formerly of the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) over a period of years. As a result of many napkin drawings, especially in Warsaw, Poland, TBS was born. In the two years since we spent hours and days arguing over the principles, I have had the opportunity to develop TBS into a workable mathematical model for quantification of security.I have always maintained that to offer a reasonable defense, one has to know how to attack networks. So, TBS, here we go.Defensive Products Do Not and Cannot Work.The current and prevalent methods to defend networks against attack is an approach 10,000 years old based upon classic military strategy: build your defensive walls as high as you can to keep the bad guys out. This is also known as Fortress Mentality. However, it hasn't worked since the dawn of time and still doesn't work. Consider Troy: Odysseus and the Greeks camped themselves out on the plains of Troy for nine years before they screamed, "We give up! And here's a horse as a present." We all know the results. The Great Wall of China was meant to keep the marauding Mongolians at bay yet advanced technology like the catapult, battering ram and bribery of guards won out. The Maginot Line; the Berlin Wall: none of them worked because they can't.This fundamental error in historical judgement, though, was what modern defensive information security was based on: how can we build the walls around our networks high enough to keep the bad guys out. Oops! Wrong again. They began with the false premise that they could in fact keep the bad guys out and them compounded the error in the erroneous belief that everyone who had access to the networks was already cleared as a good guy; a pro-US gung-ho Marine-like good guy. However, this incorrect model was based upon another antique premise: computers operate in isolation -there is nonsuch thing as a network.When the Trojans let the drawbridge to their city descend to admit the horse, they were networking with the outside world. When the Germans bypassed the Maginot Line, they created a network with the French - right or wrong. When people sailed over or around the Berlin Wall, the network connection was made. Thus, the principle of Fortress Mentality began to collapse as a viable defensive posture. When the security pioneers began to develop security models, they took a similar approach because the network had not yet begun to live and expand as an independent entity. And then the hackers started at us.So, based upon the antiquated model of Fortress Mentality, our network defense program began. And the result? Use firewalls. Use passwords. Use Access Control Tables. But now the question: A lot of people have made a lot of money selling both the government and the private sector tons of firewalls another protective equipment to defend their networks. Sound like a plan, right? Well, maybe it isn't. Name me one company who guarantees their product! Name me one company who will provide a warranty that if you use their products, they will legally accept responsibility for any losses you suffer if their products are compromised. Never mind that some of the most popular defensive products are created by foreign government sponsored organizations which do not release source code on how their products work.

Introduction to Information Security
Author: Timothy Shimeall
Publisher: Newnes
ISBN: 1597499722
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 383
Book Description
Most introductory texts provide a technology-based survey of methods and techniques that leaves the reader without a clear understanding of the interrelationships between methods and techniques. By providing a strategy-based introduction, the reader is given a clear understanding of how to provide overlapping defenses for critical information. This understanding provides a basis for engineering and risk-management decisions in the defense of information.Information security is a rapidly growing field, with a projected need for thousands of professionals within the next decade in the government sector alone. It is also a field that has changed in the last decade from a largely theory-based discipline to an experience-based discipline. This shift in the field has left several of the classic texts with a strongly dated feel. - Provides a broad introduction to the methods and techniques in the field of information security - Offers a strategy-based view of these tools and techniques, facilitating selection of overlapping methods for in-depth defense of information - Provides very current view of the emerging standards of practice in information security

PKI Uncovered
Author: Andre Karamanian
Publisher: Pearson Education
ISBN: 1587059304
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 424
Book Description
The only complete guide to designing, implementing, and supporting state-of-the-art certificate-based identity solutions with PKI Layered approach is designed to help readers with widely diverse backgrounds quickly learn what they need to know Covers the entire PKI project lifecycle, making complex PKI architectures simple to understand and deploy Brings together theory and practice, including on-the-ground implementers' knowledge, insights, best practices, design choices, and troubleshooting details PKI Uncovered brings together all the techniques IT and security professionals need to apply PKI in any environment, no matter how complex or sophisticated. At the same time, it will help them gain a deep understanding of the foundations of certificate-based identity management. Its layered and modular approach helps readers quickly get the information they need to efficiently plan, design, deploy, manage, or troubleshoot any PKI environment. The authors begin by presenting the foundations of PKI, giving readers the theoretical background they need to understand its mechanisms. Next, they move to high-level design considerations, guiding readers in making the choices most suitable for their own environments. The authors share best practices and experiences drawn from production customer deployments of all types. They organize a series of design "modules" into hierarchical models which are then applied to comprehensive solutions. Readers will be introduced to the use of PKI in multiple environments, including Cisco router-based DMVPN, ASA, and 802.1X. The authors also cover recent innovations such as Cisco GET VPN. Throughout, troubleshooting sections help ensure smooth deployments and give readers an even deeper "under-the-hood" understanding of their implementations.

Work's Intimacy
Author: Melissa Gregg
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 0745637469
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 232
Book Description
This book provides a long-overdue account of online technology and its impact on the work and lifestyles of professional employees. It moves between the offices and homes of workers in the knew "knowledge" economy to provide intimate insight into the personal, family, and wider social tensions emerging in today’s rapidly changing work environment. Drawing on her extensive research, Gregg shows that new media technologies encourage and exacerbate an older tendency among salaried professionals to put work at the heart of daily concerns, often at the expense of other sources of intimacy and fulfillment. New media technologies from mobile phones to laptops and tablet computers, have been marketed as devices that give us the freedom to work where we want, when we want, but little attention has been paid to the consequences of this shift, which has seen work move out of the office and into cafés, trains, living rooms, dining rooms, and bedrooms. This professional "presence bleed" leads to work concerns impinging on the personal lives of employees in new and unforseen ways. This groundbreaking book explores how aspiring and established professionals each try to cope with the unprecedented intimacy of technologically-mediated work, and how its seductions seem poised to triumph over the few remaining relationships that may stand in its way.
