  • User-Oriented Network Security Policy Specification
    User-oriented Network Security Policy Specification Fulvio Valenza1;2*, and Antonio Lioy1 1Politecnico di Torino, DAUIN, corso duca degli Abruzzi 24, Turin, Italy 2CNR-IEIIT, corso duca degli Abruzzi 24, Turin, Italy ffulvio.valenza, [email protected] Abstract The configuration and management of security controls and applications is complex and not well understood by the majority of end-users (i.e. it typically requires specific skills). The security policy language simplifies this task and reduces the number of errors and anomalies. This paper proposes the specification of the two mechanisms for defining user’s security policies, namely High-level Security Policy Language (HSPL) and Medium-level Security Policy Language (MSPL). HSPL is suitable for expressing the protection requirements of typical non-technical users, while MSPL is a lower-level abstraction useful for expressing specific configurations of security controls in a generic format (as such it is more appealing for technical users). Keywords: network security policy, security requirement, policy refinement 1 Introduction Nowadays the common approach to protect personal devices from Internet threats relies on the installa- tion of appropriate security controls (e.g. firewall, VPN concentrator, etc.). To achieve this goal, typically it is required a deep knowledge on how each security control should be configured, which generally involves in setting up several security applications of different vendors and different security functions (or capabilities), like packet filtering, VPN gateway, parental control, etc.. In general, for non-technical users and occasionally for administrators, this may turn out a difficult hurdle to overcome[21]. In order to simplify the configuration of security controls, we propose the definition of two user- oriented network security policy languages.

  • Network Security Policy Created: 01/12/2016 Section Of: County Security Policies Modified: Target Audience: Technical Page 1 of 13
    DuPage County Network Security Policy Created: 01/12/2016 Section of: County Security Policies Modified: Target Audience: Technical Page 1 of 13 DuPage County is hereinafter referred to as "the County." 1.0 Purpose The purpose of this policy is to establish the technical guidelines for IT security, and to communicate the controls necessary for a secure network infrastructure. The network security policy will provide the practical mechanisms to support the County's comprehensive set of security policies. However, this policy purposely avoids being overly-specific in order to provide some latitude in implementation and management strategies. 2.0 Scope This policy covers all IT systems and devices that comprise the County network or that are otherwise controlled by the County. This policy also cover systems administered by County-wide Elected Officials. 3.0 Policy 3.1 Network Device Passwords A compromised password on a network device could have devastating, network-wide consequences. Passwords that are used to secure these devices, such as routers, switches, and servers, must be held to higher standards than standard user-level or desktop system passwords. 3.1.1 Password Construction The following statements apply to the construction of passwords for network devices: • Passwords must be at least 12 characters • Passwords must be comprised of a mix of letters, numbers and special characters (punctuation marks and symbols) • Passwords must not be comprised of, or otherwise utilize, words that can be found in a dictionary • Passwords must not be comprised of an obvious keyboard sequence (i.e., qwerty) Network Security Policy DuPage County Network Security Policy Created: 01/12/2016 Section of: County Security Policies Modified: Target Audience: Technical Page 2 of 13 • Passwords must not include "guessable" data such as personal information like birthdays, addresses, phone numbers, locations, etc.

  • Acceptable Use Policy
    2500 – CORPORATE SECURITY POLICY ACCEPTABLE USE POLICY 1.0 Overview Though there are a number of reasons to provide a user network access, by far the most common is granting access to employees for performance of their job functions. This access carries certain responsibilities and obligations as to what constitutes acceptable use of the corporate network. This policy explains how corporate information technology resources are to be used and specifies what actions are prohibited. While this policy is as complete as possible, no policy can cover every situation, and thus the user is asked additionally to use common sense when using company resources. Questions on what constitutes acceptable use should be directed to the user's supervisor. 2.0 Purpose Since inappropriate use of corporate systems exposes RETA to risk, it is important to specify exactly what is permitted and what is prohibited. The purpose of this policy is to detail the acceptable use of RETA information technology resources for the protection of all parties involved. 3.0 Scope The scope of this policy includes any and all use of RETA IT resources, including but not limited to, computer systems, email, the network, and the corporate Internet connection. 4.0 Policy 4.1 E-mail Use Personal usage of RETA email systems is permitted as long as A) such usage does not negatively impact the RETA computer network, and B) such usage does not negatively impact the user's job performance. • The following is never permitted: spamming, harassment, communicating threats, solicitations, chain letters, or pyramid schemes. This list is not exhaustive but is included to provide a frame of reference for types of activities that are prohibited.

  • Security Technologies for the World Wide Web, 2Nd Ed..Pdf
    Y L F M A E T Team-Fly® Security Technologies for the World Wide Web For quite a long time, computer security was a rather narrow field of study that was populated mainly by theoretical computer scientists, electrical engineers, and applied mathematicians. With the proliferation of open sys- tems in general, and of the Internet and the World Wide Web (WWW) in particular, this situation has changed fundamentally. Today, computer and network practitioners are equally interested in computer security, since they require technologies and solutions that can be used to secure applications related to electronic commerce. Against this background, the field of computer security has become very broad and includes many topics of interest. The aim of this series is to publish state-of- the-art, high standard technical books on topics related to computer security. Further information about the series can be found on the WWW at the following URL: http://WWW.esecurity.ch/serieseditor.html Also, if you’d like to contribute to the series by writing a book about a topic related to computer security, feel free to contact either the Commissioning Editor or the Series Editor at Artech House.
