Current Cybersecurity Talent Gap
• Increasing cyber attacks drives the demand for Cybersecurity talent
– According to Forbes, “As hackers ramp up attacks with increasingly sophisticated methods and tools that are readily available for purchase on the dark web, the “white hats” need all the help they can get. According to recent estimates, there will be as many as 3.5 million unfilled positions in the industry by 2021.”
– According to CSOonline, “The percentage of organizations reporting a problematic shortage of cybersecurity skills continues to increase. Here are the results from the last four surveys:
2018-2019: 53% 2017-2018: 51% 2016-2017: 45% 2015-2016: 42%”

Core Cyber Security Principles
• Confidentiality, Integrity, Availability (CIA triad)
• Ensuring the core concepts of availability, integrity, and confidentiality are supported by adequate security controls designed to mitigate or reduce the risks of loss, disruption, or corruption of information
COMP90073 Security Analytics © University of Melbourne 2021

Core Cyber Security Principles
• Confidentiality supports the principle of “least privilege” by providing that only authorized individuals, processes, or systems should have access to information on a need-to-know basis
– Data classification: an important measure to ensure confidentiality of information
• E.g., public information, internal use only, confidential
– Identification, authentication, and authorization through access controls are practices that support maintaining the confidentiality of information
COMP90073 Security Analytics © University of Melbourne 2021

Core Cyber Security Principles
– Sample control – information encryption • Symmetric cryptography
– Require both the sender and the receiver to have the same key and algorithms
– Example:
» Data Encryption Standard (DES), insecure due to small key
size – 64-bit key(56 bits actual key)
» Triple DES, increased key length – 168 bits
» Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), supports 128, 192 and 256 bits key
• Asymmetric cryptography
– Two different keys are used, the sender uses the public key for
encryption while the receiver uses the private key for decryption
– Example, RSA, Diffie- OMP90073 Security Analytics © University of Melbourne 2021

Core Cyber Security Principles
• Integrity is the principle that information should be protected from intentional, unauthorized, or accidental changes
– Information stored in files, databases, systems, and networks must be relied upon to accurately process transactions and provide accurate information for business decision making
– Sample controls – segregation of duties, approval checkpoints
COMP90073 Security Analytics © University of Melbourne 2021

Core Cyber Security Principles
• Availability is the principle that ensures that information is available and accessible by users when needed
– Two primary areas affecting the availability of systems 1) Denial of service attacks
2) Lossofserviceduetoadisaster
– Sample controls – up-to-date system, tested incident management, disaster recovery planning
COMP90073 Security Analytics © University of Melbourne 2021

Key Access Control Concepts
• Access control is the process of allowing only authorized users, programs, or other computer systems (i.e. networks) to observe, modify, or otherwise take possession of the resources of a computer system. It is also a mechanism for limiting the use of some resources to authorized users.
• Four key attributes
1) Specify which users can access a system
2) Specify what resources those users can access 3) Specify what operations those users can perform 4) Enforceaccountabilityforthoseusers’actions
COMP90073 Security Analytics © University of Melbourne 2021

Key Access Control Concepts
• Determining a default stance
– Allow-by-default: allowing access to any information unless there is a specific need to restrict that access
COMP90073 Security Analytics © University of Melbourne 2021

Key Access Control Concepts
– Deny-by-default: blocking all attempts to access information and resources unless that access is specifically permitted
COMP90073 Security Analytics © University of Melbourne 2021

Key Access Control Concepts
• Defence in Depth – practice of applying multiple layers of security protection between an information resource and a potential attacker
Network security:
• Firewalls
• Virtual private network (VPN)
System/application security:
• Antivirus software
• Authentication and password
• Encryption
• Logging and auditing
• Multi-factor authentication
• Vulnerability scanners
• Intrusion detection systems (IDS)
COMP90073 Security Analytics © University of Melbourne 2021

Key Access Control Concepts
• A General Process
1) Defining resources: specifically defining the resources that exist in
the environment for users to access
2) Determining users: defining who can access a given resource
3) Specifying the users’ use of the resources: specifying the level of use for a given resource and the permitted user actions on that resource
COMP90073 Security Analytics © University of Melbourne 2021

Access Control Principles
• Access Control Policy: specifying the guidelines for how users are identified and authenticated and the level of access granted to resources
• Separation of Duties: altering the way people perform their work functions
• Least Privilege: requires that a user or process be given no more access privilege than necessary to perform a job, task, or function
• Need to Know: defines a bare minimum access need based on job or business requirements
COMP90073 Security Analytics © University of Melbourne 2021

Access Control Principles
• Compartmentalization: the process of separating groups of people and information such that each group is isolated from the others and information does not flow between groups
– E.g., an organization might compartmentalize (both logically and physically) a team working on mergers and acquisitions so that the information that team is working on will not leak to the general employee population and lead to a potential insider trading problem
• Security Domain: an area where common processes and security controls work to separate all entities involved in these processes from other entities or security domains
– E.g., all systems and users managing financial information might be separated into their own security domain, and all systems involved in e-commerce activity might get their own security domain
COMP90073 Security Analytics © University of Melbourne 2021

• Core cyber security principle
