Is a transformed type of genuine information where only the authorized parties know how to read it, so in the worst case scenario if somebody has access to these files they would still not be able to understand the message in it.

It is one of the best opensource encryption file softwares. It can be used in Windows OS, Mac OS and Linux as well. This software can be downloaded from − http://www.axantum.com/AxCrypt/Downloads.aspx

This is an opensource software again and it can be integrated with other softwares too (like email). It can be downloaded from − https://www.gnupg.org/download/index.html

It is a Windows integrated tool and its main functions is to secure and encrypt all the hard disk volumes.

It is a Mac OS integrated tool and it secures as well as encrypts all the hard disk volume.

This protocol helps to establish a secure and encrypted connection between the clients and the servers. Generally, it is used for Web Servers, Mail Servers, FTP servers.

This is a secure replacement for the telnet and other unencrypted utilities like rlogin, rcp, rsh.

4 backup devices

They are used for home/personal usage where people can store their documents, mainly personal or office related documents because they have small capacities varying from 750MB to 50GB.

They are again for home usage (data, documents, music, photos, movies) which can be a Removable USB or external hard disks. Their capacities lately have increased a lot, they vary from 2 GB to 2 TB.

They are generally devices that are used in small businesses for backup purposes because they offer a centralized manner of backup. All the users can connect through the network to access this device and save data.

These are generally devices that are used for big businesses for backup purposes. They offer a high speed of network for storage the biggest producers are EMC Corporation, DELL.

2 Types of Backups Based on Location

Generally local backups store the data in a CD, NA Storages, etc. As there can be a simple copying of files or by using any third party software. One of them in the server is the Windows backup which is included in the Windows Server Edition License.

One of the biggest trend is online storage where the companies and users can store their data somewhere in the cloud, and it is cheaper as well rather than doing it all by yourself. There is also no need for any backup infrastructure and maintenance.

Is generally a planning process and it produces a document which ensures businesses to solve critical events that affect their activities. Such events can be a natural disaster (earthquakes, flood, etc.), cyber–attack or hardware failure like servers or routers.

They can be software or applications which operate at the network level. They protect Private networks from external users and other networks. Generally, they are a compound of programs and their main function is to monitor the traffic flow from outside to inside and vice versa. Their position is generally behind a router or in front of the router depending on the network topologies.

Are also as important as the firewall because they help us to detect the type of attack that is being done to our system and then to make a solution to block them.

It is software based, but is an opensource so it is free and easy to configure. It has a real time signature based network – IDS, which notifies the system administrators or attacks like port scanners, DDOS attacks, CGI attacks, backdoors, OS finger printing.

This type of a network is widely used in a small business or enterprise networks. It helps to send and receive data across the internet, but in a secure and encrypted way. Generally, this network is created between two secure network devices like two firewalls.

Role of the Security Policy are divided in two categories

This is the policy which defines the rights of the staff and access level to the systems. Generally, it is included even in the communication protocol as a preventive measure in case there are any disasters.

This defines who should have access to the specific server and with what rights. Which software’s should be installed, level of access to internet, how they should be updated.

It defines who should have access to the firewall and what type of access, like monitoring, rules change. Which ports and services should be allowed and if it should be inbound or outbound.

It defines who is the responsible person for backup, what should be the backup, where it should be backed up, how long it should be kept and the frequency of the backup.

These policies generally go with the firewall policy, it defines those users who should have a VPN access and with what rights. For site-to-site connections with partners, it defines the access level of the partner to your network, type of encryption to be set.

When you compile a security policy you should have in mind a basic structure in order to make something practical.

11 Types of Policies

It is a medium restriction policy where we as an administrator block just some well-known ports of malware regarding internet access and just some exploits are taken in consideration.

This is a high restriction policy where everything is blocked regarding the internet access, just a small list of websites are allowed, and now extra services are allowed in computers to be installed and logs are maintained for every user.

This policy regulates the behavior of the users towards a system or network or even a webpage, so it is explicitly said what a user can do and cannot in a system. Like are they allowed to share access codes, can they share resources, etc.

This policy defines what a user should do in order to have or maintain another user in a specific system. For example, accessing an e-commerce webpage.

This policy is to regulate access to information, hot to process information, how to store and how it should be transferred.

This policy is mainly for big companies where the user and their branches are outside their headquarters. It tells what should the users access, when they can work and on which software like SSH, VPN, RDP.

This policy has explicitly to do with its management, which ports should be blocked, what updates should be taken, how to make changes in the firewall, how long should be the logs be kept.

This policy is intended to keep people under control and monitor the special privileges in their systems and the purpose as to why they have it. These employees can be team leaders, managers, senior managers, system administrators, and such high designation based people.

This policy is to restrict the access of anyone towards the network resource and make clear who all will access the network. It will also ensure whether that person should be authenticated or not.

This is one of the most important policies that should be done because many users use the work email for personal purposes as well.

This policy has to do with the software’s installed in the user computer and what they should have.
