...SECURITY POLICY TEMPLATE A security policy is the essential basis on which an effective and comprehensive security program can be developed. This critical component is the primary way in which the agency security plan is translated into specific, measurable, and testable goals and objectives. The security policies developed must establish a consistent notion of what is and what is not permitted with respect to control of access to your information resources. They must bond with the business, technical, legal, and regulatory environment of your agency. The following is a recommended outline of the components and characteristics of a security policy template. A sample Acceptable Use Policy using this outline is attached for your reference as Appendix A. Section 1 – Introduction: A purpose should be stated in the introduction section. This should provide the reader with a brief description of what this policy will state and why it is needed. The security stance of your agency should be stated here. Section 2 – Roles and Responsibilities: It is important that the policy detail the specific responsibilities of each identifiable user population, including management, employees and residual parties. Section 3 – Policy Directives: This section describes the specifics of the security policy. It should provide sufficient information to guide the development and implementation of guidelines and specific security procedures. Section 4 – Enforcement, Auditing...

...electrical disturbances, and hardware failures. LAN-to-WAN Domain Solutions Effective logical access control starts with defining system-specific security policies that clearly and concisely state what protection mechanisms are to be enforced in order to achieve security requirements for a system. Thus the security policies are formalized by security models and implemented by security mechanisms providing access controls that minimize both internal and external threats. Some of the controls that could be used after a sound security policy is in place are: Encryption of data Multi-Protocol Label Switching Implementing a proxy server for remote services Use of firewalls Protocol implementation IP address rules Port filtering Adding a DMZ for anonymous users Using Dual-Homed ISP connections in case the primary ISP fails Using an IDS & IPS Data leakage security appliances Web-content filtering Traffic monitoring devices LAN-to-WAN configuration Change management (to avoid unauthorized changes to the network infrastructure) Secured location of critical LAN-to-WAN devices FCAPS for network management Network Access Control (NAC) defining requirements for accessing the network Redundant routers and firewalls to avoid bottlenecks in the network Backup and Recovery policies and solutions Use of VPNs for remote access Load-balancing techniques Use of...
