Security Control Selection Select controls based on data sensitivity and system criticality
NIST SP 800-53, Recommended Security Controls for Federal Information Systems
“In addition to the agencies of the federal government, state, local, and tribal governments, and private sector organizations that compose the critical infrastructure of the United States, are encouraged to use these guidelines, as appropriate.”

Security Control Selection PE-8 ACCESS RECORDS
Control: The organization maintains visitor access records to the facility where the information system resides (except for those areas within the facility officially designated as publicly accessible) that includes: (i) name and organization of the person visiting; (ii) signature of the visitor; (iii) form of identification; (iv) date of access; (v) time of entry and departure; (vi) purpose of visit; and (vii) name and organization of person visited. Designated officials within the organization review the visitor access records [Assignment: organization-defined frequency]. Supplemental Guidance: None.
Control Enhancements:
(1) The organization employs automated mechanisms to facilitate the maintenance and review of access records.
(2) The organization maintains a record of all physical access, both visitor and authorized individuals.

Security Control Refinement(assess the risk – SP 800-30)
17
High If an observation or finding is evaluated as high risk, there is a strong need for corrective measures. An existing system may continue to operate, but a corrective action plan must be put in place as soon as possible.
Moderate If an observation is rated as moderate risk, corrective actions are needed and a plan must be developed to incorporate these actions within a reasonable period of time.
Low If an observation is described as low risk, the system’s authorizing official must determine whether corrective actions are still required or decide to accept the risk.

20
Security Control Implementation
• Implement Plans of Actions and Milestones (POAMs)
• Update system controls based on security plan
• Use security configuration guides (SP 800-70)
• Update System Security Plan
21
Security Control Assessment (SP 800-53A, SP 800-37)
• Independent reviewer (Certification Agent)
• Reviews controls identified in System Security Plan
• Determines control effectiveness
• Use to update POAMs
• Provides input to system authorization official
22
Security Authorization (SP 800-37)
Determines Risk to agency, agency assets, or individuals
23
Security Control Monitoring (SP 800-37, SP 800-53A)
• Continuously track changes and new vulnerabilities to system
• Vulnerability scans and penetration testing
• Audit and Log monitoring
• Security configuration and compliance
• Assessments and reviews
• Intrusion detection and prevention systems (IDPSs) for effective incident response
24
Security Incident Response and Reporting
What’s a Security Incident?
An incident can be unintentional or malicious. SP 800-61 states: “A computer security incident is a violation or imminent threat of violation of computer security policies, acceptable use policies, or standard security practices. Examples of incidents are as follows:”
• Denial of Service • Malicious Code • Unauthorized Access • Inappropriate Usage
25
Security Incident Response and ReportingUS-CERT’s Classification of Incidents
Category Name Description
CAT 0Exercise/Network Defense Testing
This category is used during state, federal, national, international exercises and approved activity testing of internal/external network defenses or responses.
CAT 1Unauthorized Access
In this category an individual or agent gains access without permission to a federal agency facility, network, system, (PII), in both soft copy (electronic) and hard copy (paper application, or data, including Personally Identifiable Information document)
CAT 2 Denial of Service
An attack that successfully prevents or impairs the normal authorized functionality of networks, systems or applications by exhausting resources. This activity includes being the victim or participating in the DoS.
CAT 3 Malicious Code
Successful installation of malicious software (e.g., virus, worm, Trojan horse) that infects an operating system or application. Users are NOT required to report malicious logic that has been successfully quarantined by antivirus (AV) software.
CAT 4 Improper Usage A person violates acceptable computing or facility use policies, with or without malicious intent.
CAT 5Scans / Probes / Attempted Access
This category includes activities that seek to access or identify any Federal Student Aid computer or network component for exploit. In addition, any unauthorized attempts to physically access Federal Student Aid facilities are included in this category.
CAT 6 Investigation
Unconfirmed incidents that are anomalous—potentially malicious— activities, involving either electronic or printed information, deemed by the reporting entity to warrant further review.
26
Security Incident Response and Reporting
27
Preparation• Creating an incident response policy
– Statement of management commitment – Purpose and objectives of the policy – Scope of the policy (to whom, what it applies to, and
under what circumstances) – Definition of computer security incidents and their
consequences within the context of the organization – Organizational structure and delineation of roles,
responsibilities, and levels of authority
– Prioritization or severity ratings of incidents – Performance measure – Reporting and contact forms
28
Preparation (con’t)• Developing procedures for performing incident handling and
reporting, based on the incident response policy
• Setting guidelines for communicating with outside parties regarding incidents
• Selecting a team structure and staffing model • Establishing relationships between the incident response
team and other groups, both internal (e.g., legal department) and external (e.g., law enforcement agencies)
• Determining what services the incident response team should provide
• Staffing and training the incident response team.
29
Detection and Analysis
• Incident Categories • Signs of an Incident
• Sources of Precursors and Indications
• Incident Analysis
• Incident Documentation
• Incident Prioritization
• Incident Notification
30
Contain, Eradicate, Recover• Enact your containment strategy
– Isolate affected systems
• Evidence Gathering and Evidence Handling– Chain of Custody
• Remove the risks to the systems
• Recover the systems– Restore from clean backups– Rebuild systems– Replace compromise files and applications– Install patches– Change passwords
31
Post Incident Activities
• Lessons Learn (Hotwash)– Be critical– Use collected data– Review security settings (what allowed incident to occur)– Review what went right and what needs improvement
• Evidence Retention– Prosecution– Data Retention – Costs
