SANS Institute

The SANS Institute (SysAdmin, Audit, Networking, and Security) is an organization focusing on providing computer education and information security training. It was founded in 1989. When originally organized, SANS Conferences were like most traditional technical conferences, being a forum for paper presentations. By the mid-1990s, it would evolve into a security/audit training forum. Most of the training it provides are tied to one of the many GIAC Security Certifications. SANS operates the following Web sites:
- Internet Storm Center
- [http://www.giac.org/ GIAC Security Certification]
- [http://www.sans.org/score S.C.O.R.E. (Security Consensus Operational Readiness Evaluation)] SANS instructors have also contributed to many security books.
- Hackers Beware: The Ultimate Guide to Network Security (ISBN 0735710090)
- Hiding in Plain Sight : Steganography and the Art of Covert Communication (ISBN 0471444499)
- Inside Network Perimeter Security: The Definitive Guide to Firewalls, Virtual Private Networks (VPNs), Routers, and Intrusion Detection Systems (ISBN 0735712328)

Information security

Information security deals with several different "trust" aspects of information. Another common term is information assurance. Information security is not confined to computer systems, nor to information in an electronic or machine-readable form. It applies to all aspects of safeguarding or protecting information or data, in whatever form. The U.S. National Information Systems Security Glossary defines Information systems security (INFOSEC) as: :the protection of information systems against unauthorized access to or modification of information, whether in storage, processing or transit, and against the denial of service to authorized users or the provision of service to unauthorized users, including those measures necessary to detect, document, and counter such threats. Most definitions of information security tend to focus, sometimes exclusively, on specific usages and, or, particular media; e.g., "protect electronic data from unauthorized use". In fact it is a common misconception, or misunderstanding, that information security is synonymous with computer security—in any of its guises: computer and network security, information technology (IT) security, information systems security, information and communications technology (ICT) security. Each of these has a different emphasis, but the common concern is the security of information in some form (electronic in these cases): hence, all are subsets of information security. Conversely, information security covers not just information but all infrastructures that facilitate its use—processes, systems, services, technology, etc., including computers, voice and data networks, etc. It is an important point that information security is, inherently and necessarily, neither hermetic nor watertight nor perfectible. No one can ever eradicate all risk of improper or capricious use of any information. The level of information security sought in any particular situation should be commensurate with the value of the information and the loss, financial or otherwise, that might accrue from improper use—disclosure, degradation, denial, or whatever. Bruce Schneier makes this point in Secrets and Lies: information security is about risk management. Three widely accepted elements (aims, principles, qualities, characteristics, attributes ...) of information security are:
- confidentiality
- integrity
- availability These can be remembered by the mnemonic “CIA”, and is often referred to as the CIA triad [http://www.infosecpedia.org/pedia/index.php/CIA_triad]. A simple way to express this is "the right information to the right people at the right time". A further, generally accepted element is:
- accountability Historically, up to about 1990, confidentiality was the most important element of information security, followed by integrity, and then availability. By 2001, changing use and expectation patterns had moved availability to the top of most versions of this priority list. The first goal of modern information security has, in effect, become to ensure that systems are predictably dependable in the face of all sorts of malice, and particularly in the face of denial of service attacks. NIST Special Publication 800-33 Underlying Technical Models for Information Technology Security added assurance as essential. "Without it the other objectives are not met." Assurance is the basis for confidence that the security measures, both technical and operational, work as intended to protect the system and the information in processes and that the other four security objectives (integrity, availability, confidentiality, and accountability) have been adequately met by a specific implementation. Some other facets of information security are:
- governance
- access control
- risk assessment
- classification
- compliance
- identification and authentication
- Information Technology Infrastructure Library
- non-repudiation
- authorization
- administration and provisioning
- auditing
- alerting
- assurance and reliability
- Business Continuity Planning
- COMSEC Cryptography and Cryptanalysis are important tools in assuring confidentiality (in transmission or storage of information), integrity (no change can be made undetectably), and source identification (the sender can be identified and all other than that sender can be excluded). Always assuming, necessarily, that the key(s) involved have not been misused or compromised, and that the crypto systems employed have been well chosen and properly used.

Internet Storm Center

The Internet Storm Center (ISC) is a group which monitors the level of malicious activity on the Internet, particularly with regards to large-scale infrastructure events. The ISC evolved from "Incidents.org", a site initially founded by the SANS Institute to assist in the public-private sector cooperation during the Y2K cutover. In 2000, Incidents.org started to cooperate with DShield to create a Consensus Incidents Database (CID). It collected security information from cooperating sites and agencies for mass analysis. On March 22, 2001, the SANS CID was responsible for the early detection of the "Lion" worm attacks on various facilities. The quick warning and counter-efforts organized by the CID were instrumental in controlling the damage done by this worm, which otherwise might have been considerably worse. Later, DShield was integrated closer into incidents.org as the SANS Institute started to sponsor DShield. The CID was renamed the "Internet Storm Center" in acknowledgement of the way it uses the distributed sensor network similar to the way a weather reporting center will detect and track an atmospheric storm and provide warnings. Since that time the ISC has expanded its monitoring operations; its website cites a figure of over twenty million "intrusion detection log entries" per day. It continues to provide analyses and alerts of security threats to the Internet community. The most prominent feature of the ISC is a daily "Handler Diary" which is prepared by one of the 40 volunteer incident handlers and summarized the events of the day. It frequently is the first public source for new attack trends and actively facilitates cooperation by soliciting more information to understand particular attacks better. The Internet Storm Center is currently staffed with approximately 40 volunteers, representing 8 countries and many industries. The current Director of the ISC is Marcus Sachs and Chief Technical Officer is Johannes Ullrich.
