Ahoy - In mid-August, we discussed opportunities with Dr. Steve Itoga
to focus on co-developing "Multi-disciplinary Information Assurance"
pilot projects that support inter-regional & global collaboration.

He suggested Western Governors Association co-funding
via their Western High Technology Council initiatives . . .

WGA Quotes:

This same explosion affects mass communications and information gathering, raising serious policy questions about ethics and the privacy, security and confidentiality of records.  How will privacy and security be assured without limiting access and opportunity for people and businesses?

What type of private-public sector support would be needed
to help us launch a UHI-ICS-ANCL "Center of Excellence" to
reinforce Security Incident Response Team [SIRT] Training?

See www.issl.org for an Upper Midwest prototype example.

FYI - I'd hoped for collaboration among multi-agency participants
at 3-Day "Pale Komo" Conference: 
www.hawaii.edu/palekomo
            August 15 - 17th, 2000 at Imin Conference Center
            University of Hawai`i East-West Center - Manoa Valley
           
How about proposing ASIS PacRim "SIRT Shoot-out" Scenarios
with UHI-SIRT Simulations hosted by http://ancl.ics.hawaii.edu
to promote ACCTTS:  Anti-CyberCrime Team Training Seminars
as an extension to this HICSS-34 Tutorial on 3-Jan-2001. . .

Bob,  Thanks again for spending time at NetSuds
explaining what you are trying to accomplish.

 

As I mentioned, the UofM SIRT (Security Incident Response Team) recently

lost one member and will be losing another soon.  With that in mind, the

Office of Information Technology is drawing on talent from a variety of

areas within the U, including Computer Science and the E-mail help line.

 

http://www1.umn.edu/oit/newsletter/0300-itn/security.html

 

Below are excerpts from a Network and Telecommunications Services (NTS) document that provide an overview of computer security incidents and how they will be handled.

 

A computer security incident is a threat, intrusion, denial-of-service, or other attack on network infrastructure, computer system(s), or user account(s). Computer security incidents can vary from annoying email directed at an individual to intrusion attacks on sensitive data and computer systems. Some security incidents are inherently computer-based; in others, the electronic medium is coincidental to the crime or policy violation.

 

Clearly, incident response is valuable and necessary to the whole University. When a system is compromised, it can expose other systems with common users to intrusion.

 

When a denial-of-service attack is launched on a system, it can affect network traffic elsewhere around the University. And compromised systems or accounts at the University may be used to launch attacks on systems outside the University. All of these hinder the work of the University community; and put its data and reputation at risk.

 

Central coordination of incident response at the University provides a broader vision of the nature, scope, and severity of attacks. It can also provide greater information for identification of individuals or sites which launch attacks, reduce duplication of effort in up-stream notification (of sites which are used to launch attacks), and provide a central point-of-contact for law enforcement and other incident response teams. Further, it may provide an opportunity to warn those whose systems have been recently compromised that they are, before substantial damage is done. Accordingly, NTS has chartered the University of Minnesota Security Incident Response Team (UMN-SIRT)

Managing CSIRTs is a one-day course that provides insight into the type and nature of the work that CSIRT managers and staff may be expected to handle. It also provides an overview of the incident handling arena including the Internet and CSIRT environment, intruder threats, organizational interactions, and the nature of incident response activities. http://www.sans.org/NS2000/saturday.htm

 

There is discussion from a management perspective about technical issues such as:

·         Staffing your incident response team

·         Providing the range and level of services

·         Collecting critical information

·         Identifying the importance of pre-established policies and procedures

 

The primary audience for this course is current and prospective managers including:

·         managers with no experience in incident handling who are interested in starting and operating a Computer Security Incident Response Team (CSIRT);

·         managers who have responsibility or must work with those who do have responsibility for computer security (e.g., staffing and equipment issues, purchases, policies, services, etc.);

·         managers who have experience in incident handling and want to learn more about operating effective CSIRTs.

 

The course will also benefit those who interact with CSIRTs and would like to gain a deeper understanding of how CSIRTs operate. This includes CSIRT constituents, higher-level management, media relations staff, and legal counsel. Managing CSIRTs will help you to

·         Understand the incident handling arena, including major types of activities and interactions that a CSIRT may experience

·         Identify various services that can be provided by a CSIRT

·         Highlight issues associated with assembling and managing a responsive, effective team of computer security professionals

·         Identify policies and procedures that should be established and implemented for a CSIRT

·         Gain a familiarity of the tools and techniques used by incident handling staff

Police say confidentiality is key for cyber crime crackdown

The UK needs a system allowing businesses to report cyber

crime confidentially, says Britain's top internet police

officer. Detective Chief Superintendent Len Hynds told a

global law enforcement conference many incidents go

unreported for commercial reasons. The UK's National

High-Tech Crime Unit was launched in April to combat

hacking, fraud, data theft and other offences committed

within electronic media.  Supt Hynds told the conference

in Glasgow that the culture of secrecy means the true

scale of internet crime against business is difficult

to quantify.
