...UNFO Security White Paper Information Security Analyst Executive Summary Date: Friday, September 06, 2013 Introduction Since UNFO’s customer base will have the ability to call in by using credit card numbers to make online purchases with an expectation of 6,000,000 transactions, the need for a well thought out framework plan is essential. The conversations will be recorded and stored in the organization's Private Branch Exchange (PBX) system to where data storage hardware and software requirements will be needed. This document is to outline a Web security life cycle for the organization that will later be compiled as part of the organization's overall security policy by the organization's Senior Security Engineer. Therefore the following categories will serve as the staple of this outline: Application development, QA/testing, deployments, website encryption/key management, data storage/access, systems/devices that interact with the website, 3rd party vendor access, employee web security training, regulatory compliance, emerging laws and regulations for website security. 1. Application development : a. System Analysis: i. Define clearly of the purpose of the software ii. Provide direction for further development iii.

...to the security requirements of your information system? From the very earliest stages of planning for the development of the system to its final disposal is the advice of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). By considering security early in the information system development life cycle (SDLC), you may be able to avoid higher costs later on and develop a more secure system from the start. The System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) The system development life cycle starts with the initiation of the system planning process, and continues through system acquisition and development, implementation, operations and maintenance, and ends with disposition of the system. Specific decisions about security must be made in each of these phases to assure that the system is secure. The organization develops its initial definition of the problem that could be solved through automation. Also during this early phase, the organization starts to define the security requirements for the planned system. Management approval of decisions reached is important at this stage. During this initiation phase, the organization establishes the security categorization and conducts a preliminary risk assessment for the planned information system. Categorization of the information system using federal standards and guidelines aids system security planners in defining information system security according to levels of impact, and in selecting a baseline of initial security controls...

...technology field and all things related to the internet are in a constant state of improvement. Due to the high need to be able to compete in any online market successfully a company needs to be able to keep a secure, working website with an uptime as close to 100% as possible. With the very real possibility of malicious crackers trying to do damage or steal data security is of the utmost importance. One of the best ways to improve security and control is for the company to host their own website internally. The benefit’s for doing this transition will be well worth the effort but there are few points that need to be considered before making the final decision. The goal of this report is to provide information and a guide to the process of creating a secure e-commerce site with minimum downtime. Considerations: There are a few factors that need to be considered before making the move to migrate the website. * Cost-Hardware, labor, software, etc. * Security-physical and physical * Physical space- structure, square footage, additional offices etc. Solution Using the System Development Life cycle we can define an efficient way to meet our set requirements and improve the existing website. Improving on the old foundation we can minimize costs, reduce project time and save the labor costs of having to start from scratch. This way we can focus on only redesigning parts we can’t recycle and improve on what we need to. Goals of the SDLC: * Deliver quality...

...options. The new website plan is for it to be redesigned to allow for online ordering, onsite web hosting, and site redundancy to allow for maximum uptime. What they are asking for is called the system development life cycle (SDLC). Systems development life cycle is defined as "activities and functions that systems developers typically perform, regardless of how those activities and services fit a particular methodology” (Shelly & Rosenblatt, 2011). The systems development life cycle contains the following steps in the model: required analysis, testing, implementation, documentation, deployment, and maintenance. Discuss what it will take to build a Web architecture, move an existing Website with minimal downtime, and provide a disaster recovery solution to ensure the site is always available. The new web architecture is a complete change from the previous implementation of the site causing an entirely new template and architecture. Previous setup used manual ordering, so they would have to call in or physically come in to order the chips. The new architecture will allow for online ordering that will free up more user time in answering phones taking orders. I am assuming the previous network architecture is up to date and running properly. With this assumption, few technology upgrades will be fully required. Improving the technology infrastructure would require an upgraded internet connection to help offset the new traffic that will be occurring with the web site being hosted locally...

...header: Club IT Part Three 2 Lisa and Ruben are the club owners. In our initial meeting we discussed what was expected of the job that was being undertaken. They explained to me a little about the club and an overview of their need to boost their information technology, data management, and decision-making capabilities. “To learn more about Club IT’s operations, we stayed until the 2:00 a.m. closing this morning to see how everything was tallied and accounted at the end of a business day. Although it was a late night and we had to wake up early this morning to report back to work, we now have a better understanding of the daily business cycle at Club IT. Lisa asked me for suggestions on how to use club and public resources to keep Club IT’s edge as the high-energy, high-impact club it strives to be”.(Wiley, 2009) “Lisa and Ruben have just completed extensive remodeling of the interior of Club IT and are pleased with the results. The club’s tall ceilings and high-energy lighting creates an ambience of fun and liveliness. They hire live bands on Fridays and Saturdays and have a live DJ Tuesdays through Thursdays; the club is closed on Sundays. The DJ uses a collection of MP3 playlists, including hip-hop, techno, and electronic with some Top 40s thrown in.”(Wiley,...

...Assignment 1: Web Application Attack Scenario (Student’s Name) (Professor’s Name) (Course Title) (Date of Submission) Introduction Web applications are nowadays serving as a company’s public face to the internet. This has created the need to identify threats and attacks directed to data servers and web applications. Hackers exploit vulnerabilities in input validation and authentication affecting the web application in order to gain illegal access and disclose sensitive data or manipulate it to their benefits. Common threats to data systems Data systems such as the web application and data servers are faced by a number of threats, some of these threats are discussed below: Spoofing: this is a situation where computer assume the identity of another and masquerading where a user assumes to be another (Cross, 2007). If the attacker manages to get high privileges, he can use this to attack the web system to insert or change the data, denial of service, or even damage the system. Scavenging: This is a threat presented by examining available data form accessible sources such as waste, network and search engines. Scavenging might identify the actual information needed by the hacker but in most cases, it is used as a way to select other threats for vulnerabilities that are well established for web systems attack. The information gathered through scavenging include, server software, type of operating system firewall and the application software. This risk highly lies at the client...
