Eagle Eye Networks is a leader in this respect, mitigating security concerns from the point of product research, development and deployment. Introduction Figure 1. Timeline: escalating cyber attacks on security video cameras and DVRs. Today’s networked video surveillance systems are vulnerable in many ways, and their cameras have been weaponiZed by hackers to create massive Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks on targeted systems. Figure 1 presents a timeline of recent cyber attacks and threats affecting Internet-connected security cameras and digital video recorders (DVRs). Securing today’s networked video systems can be a complex and difficult technical challenge. However, especially for small and medium siZe businesses, it doesn’t have to be that way. Video systems and equipment can be purpose-built to constitute a pre- hardened and more easily securable system, in contrast to the current installed base of networked video technology. In September of 2016, a large French web-hosting provider reported a record-breaking 1-terabit-per- second DDoS attack against their web servers, unleashed by a collection of more than 145 thousand hacked Internet-connected video cameras and digital video recorders.

Forcht S. E. Krnck James Madison University ABSTRACT This paper presents physical security of a computer facility within the context of a corpo­ rate environment. The context is established from several different perspectives. It first presents physical security philosophies and illustrates the philosophies via the Onion and Garlic Mod­ els. It defines a process for identifying and describing transition strategies between security levels. Once the models are defined, a Macro View of physical security is presented. This view discusses physical security goals and critical factors such as budget, monitoring and redun­ dancy. With this context established, the Micro View is presented. Its focus is on information technology (IT) facilities that protect centralized or clustered IT resources.

  • Responding to IT Security Audits: Improving Data Security Practices
    For more information please visit the Privacy Technical Assistance Center: https://studentprivacy.ed.gov Responding to IT Security Audits: Improving Data Security Practices Overview The U.S. Department of Education established the Privacy Technical Assistance Center (PTAC) as a “one- stop” resource for education stakeholders to learn about data privacy, confidentiality, and security practices related to student-level longitudinal data systems. PTAC provides timely information and updated guidance on privacy, confidentiality, and security practices through a variety of resources, including training materials and opportunities to receive direct assistance with privacy, security, and confidentiality of longitudinal data systems. More PTAC information is available on https://studentprivacy.ed.gov. Purpose Information Technology (IT) audits can help organizations identify critical gaps in data security and reduce the threat of security compromises. This issue brief explains what audits are and how they can be used to improve data security. It also provides recommended steps for developing an effective audit response plan, which is a detailed, point-by-point plan for addressing security concerns uncovered by an audit. Recommendations relate to collaborating with auditors to confirm understanding of an audit report, prioritizing audit findings, and determining corrective actions and implementation schedules. The recommendations included in this brief are intended to help educational organizations maximize the value of IT audits and improve data security. Examples of appropriate responses to audit findings are included in the appendix. What is an IT security audit and how can it benefit an education organization? An IT security audit is an assessment of an information system’s security architecture and processes, as well as all related policies and procedures for managing data in a secure manner.

Hoecker, lnspeWGe ~/r~l , 0 flee o Inspector General Subject: Audit of the SEC's Physical Security Program, Report No. 523 Attached is the Office of Inspector General's (OIG) final report detailing the results of our audit of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) physical security program. The report contains nine recommendations for corrective action that, if fully implemented, should strengthen the SEC's physical security controls. On July 7, 2014, we provided agency management with a draft of our report for review and comment. In the July 30, 2014, response , management fully concurred with eight of our nine recommendations and partially concurred with the remaining recommendation. As a result of management's response , we revised Recommendations 6 and 8. Management's complete response is reprinted as Appendix VII in the final report. Within the next 45 days, please provide the OIG with a written corrective action plan that addresses the recommendations. The corrective action plan should include information such as the responsible official/point of contact, timeframe for completing required actions, and milestones identifying how your office will address the recommendations. We appreciate the courtesies and cooperation extended to us during the review. If you have questions, please contact me or Rebecca L. Sharek, Deputy Inspector General for Audits, Evaluations, and Special Projects.
