Systems Maintenance Programs - The Forgotten Foundation and Support of the CIA Triad
Much has previously been written on the importance, relevance, and critical application of the CIA (Confidentiality, Integrity, Availability) Triad security model. However, operational emphasis on the CIA model has historically been placed primarily on "hard" or widely addressed topics relating to prevention, auditing, and enforcement. This type of emphasis addresses issues such as policies and procedures, training and awareness programs, encryption, access controls, and hardware or software based security management tools.

Building a Security Management Point
Keeping networked environment secure can be a very difficult task nowadays. There are many means of attack. One must always be aware of the vulnerabilities discovered most recently, not to mention the eternal activity of viewing logs and looking for suspicious traces. All this takes time and becomes worse when we are dealing with networks. Watching a single machine requires careful effort, doing the same with an entire network may take many times the effort. What we need is to increase our watching range with as little time as possible. A well implemented security environment can make the most of the security manager's time by allowing him to do carry out his/her main tasks with less effort. This article will present a way to build a security management point by using free IDS solutions.

A Holistic Approach to Securing the Enterprise
The continuance of malicious computer attacks has made security a front page topic in almost every board room and IT oversight committee. Most IT departments accept that routine updates to software operating environments are a necessary part of managing systems. It's also not hard to convince the IT professional that the protection of data assets forms the foundation of recovering from a disruptive event. But very seldom do we think of security, systems and storage management as part of a seamless and holistic approach to securing the enterprise.

Information Security, The New Niche
Information is now not being stored in hardcopy format in boxes upon boxes of paper and kept in light and humidity controlled rooms somewhere beneath the earth. It is now being stored on a digital medium, with the medium being optical or magnetic. This new digital medium poses a risk because it makes the data that is held on these disks much more accessible for all the good and bad reasons. The good reasons far overwhelm the bad reasons this is why we have arrived at the digital age where everything is being stored digitally.

Protecting your Intellectual Property with DRM
Implementing a DRM service does not have to be complex or expensive to set up and administer. To a large extent that will depend upon your scale of operation. If you publish a small number of books or documents to a small number of customers you can run a system manually without any difficulty. Obviously if you are publishing several documents every week to hundreds of customers that is more complicated purely from an administrative standpoint. The DRM component need not be so complex.

Encryption is not enough for DRM
If you examine the ordinary PDF file you will find that a large amount of control information can clearly be seen. In other words, not everything is actually encrypted. That is a weakness since there should be no reliance upon information that has not been protected. Many document protection systems have been attacked successfully using that external control information. It may also allow others to see information that you did not want to be known. So check that all your information is encrypted, and not just the visible content.
