ISO 27001 Annex : A.9.3 User Responsibilities

-

ISO 27001 Annex : A.9.3 User Responsibilities Its objective is the Responsibility of users for safeguarding their authentication information.
A.9.3.1 Use of Secret Authentication Information
Control- Use of secret authentication information should be allowed for users to follow the organization’s practices.
Implementation Guidance- It is recommended that all users:
  1. maintain confidential information on secure authentication to ensure that it is not leaked to the other parties, including people of authority;
  2. Avoid maintaining a record of confidential authentication details (e.g. on a document, software file or mobile device) unless it can be stored safely and the storage system (e.g. password vault) has been approved;
  3. Change details regarding secret authentication where potential vulnerability signs exist;
  4. When passwords are used as secret authentication information, select quality passwords with a minimum length of:
    – It’s easy to remember;
    – Will not endorse something that anyone else might easily guess or access using personal details, e.g. names, phone numbers, dates of birth, etc.;
    – Not susceptible to dictionary attacks (i.e. don’t contain words included in dictionaries);
    – Free of identical, all-numeric or all-alphabetical characters consecutively;
    – If temporary, change the first time you log on;
  5. Do not disclose information about secret authentication of individual users;
  6. Ensure proper password security when passwords are used in automated log-on procedures and stored as hidden authentication information;
  7. Do not use the same information regarding secret authentication for business or non-business purposes.
Other Information- Providing Single Sign On (SSO) or other secret information management tools for authentication reduces the amount of secret authentication information that users need to protect, and can thus increase the effectiveness of this control. But these tools can also increase the impact of disclosure of information about secret authentication.
At the end of the day, the goals are simple: safety and security.

Similarly, the Organization’s also aims of keeping its confidential information safe and in proper security. There are various roles in the organization and every user has its access rights, after the segregation of roles and access rights, now it’s the duty of the users to keep their credentials, information and assets of the organization safe, where we see, keeping password is most common way for securing any information, those passwords should be of better quality. Annex 9.3 talks about the Responsibility of users for safeguarding their authentication information. All the annexures are being covered by doing this famous certification of Lead Auditor and Lead Implementer. Infosavvy, an institute in Mumbai, provides certification and training for multiple domain-like information security management, cybersecurity, and many others in which one of them is IRCA CQI ISO 27001:2013 Lead Auditor (LA) and ISO 27001 Lead Implementer (LI) (TÜV SÜD Certification). This certification covers various controls that should be implemented in an organization to keep it away from destructors also trainers in Infosavvy are well-skilled and experienced in providing proper guidance and knowledge for keeping the Information security management system secure. This will help the applicant to develop the expertise necessary to carry out the ISMS audit by applying broadly recognized audit principles, procedures, and techniques.

What is Penetration testing ?

-
Image
Penetration testing is a method of evaluating the security of an information system or network by simulating an attack to find out vulnerabilities that an attacker could exploit. Penetration test (or "pen-testing") exposes the gaps in the security model of an organization and helps organizations reach a balance between technical prowess and business functionality from the perspective of potential security breaches. This can help in disaster recovery and business continuity planning. It simulates methods used by intruders to gain unauthorized access to an organization's networked systems and then compromise them and involves using proprietary and open-source tools to conduct the test. Apart from automated techniques, penetration testing involves manual techniques for conducting targeted testing on specific systems to ensure that there are no security flaws that previously might have gone undetected. In the context of penetration testing, the tester is limited by resource...

Types of Vulnerability Assessment

-
Image
Given below are the different types of vulnerability assessments:   Active Assessment Active assessments are a type of vulnerability assessment that uses network scanners to scan the network to identify the hosts, services, and vulnerabilities present in that network. Active network scanners have the capability to reduce the intrusiveness of the checks they perform.   Passive Assessment Passive assessments sniff the traffic present on the network to identify the active systems, network services, applications, and vulnerabilities. Passive assessments also provide a list of the users who are a recently using the network. External Assessment External assessment assesses the network from a hacker's point of view to find out what exploits and vulnerabilities are accessible to the outside world. These types of assessments use external devices such as firewalls, routers, and servers. An external assessment estimates the threat of network security atta...
