This document provides administrators and engineers guidance on securing Cisco firewall appliances, which increases the overall security of an end-to end architecture. The functions of network devices are structured around three planes: management, control, and data. This document is structured around security operations (best practices) and the three functional planes of a network. In addition, this document provides an overview of each included feature and references to related documentation. For the purposes of this document, all mentions of "Cisco firewall" refer explicitly to the Cisco ASA Adaptive Security Appliances, though the concepts may apply to other firewall and security devices.
Application security is vitally important for every software project, especially so for security projects. This is why the validation process for QRadar app submissions go through a secure engineering review. As a member of the secure development team, this blog post will hopefully give you (the app developer) some insight regarding what to expect during our app validation process.
What steps can administrators review before they attempt to update their QRadar deployment?
Introduction & Processes to upgrading QRadar software.

It is a complicated, arduous, and time-consuming task for even experienced system administrators to know what a reasonable set of security settings is for any operating system. Thus, the FIRST Best Practice Guide Library intends to assist FIRST Team Members and public in general in configuring their systems securely by providing configuration templates and security guidelines.
Also, this initiative aims at recognizing FIRST members' work and promote it outside the FIRST community.

In most cryptographic functions, the key length is an important security parameter. Both academic and private organizations provide recommendations and mathematical formulas to approximate the minimum key size requirement for security. Despite the availability of these publications, choosing an appropriate key size to protect your system from attacks remains a headache as you need to read and understand all these papers.
This web site implements mathematical formulas and summarizes reports from well-known organizations allowing you to quickly evaluate the minimum security requirements for your system. You can also easily compare all these techniques and find the appropriate key length for your desired level of protection. The lengths provided here are designed to resist mathematic attacks; they do not take algorithmic attacks, hardware flaws, etc. into account.

THE TECHNOLOGIES LISTED BELOW were developed within the National Security Agency (NSA) and are now available to the public via Open Source Software (OSS). The NSA Technology Transfer Program (TTP) works with agency innovators who wish to use this collaborative model for transferring their technology to the commercial marketplace. OSS invites cooperative development of technology, encouraging broad use and adoption. The public benefits by adopting, enhancing, adapting, or commercializing the software. The government benefits from the open source community’s enhancements to the technology.
This paper focuses on using the built-in tools already available in the Microsoft Windows operating system (OS). Central event log collection requires a Windows Server operating system version 2003 R2 or above. Many commercially available tools exist for central event log collection. Using a Windows Server 2008 R2 or above server version is recommended. There are no additional licensing costs for using the event log collection feature. The cost of using this feature is based on the amount of additional storage hardware needed to support the amount of log data collected. This factor is dependent on the number of workstations within the local log collection network.
You can record and store security audit events for Windows 10 and Windows Server 2016 to track key system and network activities, monitor potentially harmful behaviors, and mitigate risks. You control the amount of data you collect by controlling the categories of security events you audit, for example, changes to user account and resource permissions, failed attempts to access resources, and attempts to modify system files. The reference in this download can help you decide what to monitor and how to interpret the data you collect.

Le but de l’IILaR est de promouvoir la méthodologie de La RACHE. La RACHE, solution globale de génie logiciel, est un ensemble de techniques, de méthodes et de bonnes pratiques décrivant - des spécifications à la maintenance - comment produire du logiciel dans des conditions à peu près satisfaisantes et approximativement optimales.
After doing hundreds of security code reviews for companies ranging from small start-ups to large banks and telcos, and after reading hundreds of stack overflow posts on security, I have composed a list of the top 10 crypto problems I have seen.
Adhering to a set of 10 verifiable coding rules can make the analysis of critical software components more reliable.
