Topic ISSAF

cdupuis writes "We are pleased to announce the release of draft 0.2 of the Information Systems Security Assessment Framework (ISSAF).

ISSAF is the product of the collaborative effort of several security professionals that aims to provide a comprehensive framework for penetration testers and systems auditors. It includes detailed techniques, procedures and tool usage examples to perform a wide range of tests for a several platforms and devices.

The document is available for download from: http://www.oissg.org/issaf.

ISSAF is maintained by the Open Information Systems Security Group (OISSG): http://www.oissg.org.

All feedback and new volunteers for the project are always welcomed ;-).

Changes from draft 0.1 include a huge amount of new and updated information. Most of the sections in draft 0.2 are in a fairly advanced stage and the document in general is ready to be used as support for most phases in real pentest engagements.

Regards,

Omar A. Herrera"

The ISSAF framework is now mirrored locally

Topic ISSAF

Under permission from the OISSG, you can now find a copy of the ISSAF Framework locally.  Here is a high level overview of what the ISSAF is:

The goal of the ISSAF is to provide a single point of reference for security assessment.  It is a reference that is closely aligned with real world security assessment issues and that is a value proposition for businesses. To this aim the ISSAF has the following highlevel  agenda:

Evaluate the organizations information security policies and ensure that they meet industry requirements & do not violate any applicable laws & regulations

Identify critical information systems infrastructure required for the organizations business processes and evaluate their security

Conduct vulnerability assessments & penetration tests to highlight system vulnerabilities thereby identifying weaknesses in systems, networks and applications

Evaluate controls applied to various security domains by:

    o Finding mis-configurations and rectifying them

    o Identify known and unknown risks related to technologies and address them

    o Identify known and unknown risks within your people or business processes  and address them

    o Strengthening existing processes and technologies

Prioritize assessment activities as per system criticality, testing expenses, and expected benefits

    • Educate people on performing security assessments

    • Educate people on securing systems, networks and applications

    • Provide information on:

    o The review of logging, monitoring & auditing processes

    o The building and review of Disaster Recovery Plan

    o The review of outsourcing security concerns

    • Compliance to Legal & Regulatory Standards

    • Create Security Awareness

    • Effective Management of Security Assessment Projects

    • Guarding against social engineering exploitation

    • Physical security control review

This approach is based on using the shortest path required to achieve one’s goal by finding flaws that can be exploited efficiently, with the minimal effort. The goal of this framework is to give completeness and accuracy, efficiency to security assessments.
