1 Assess your risks

The first step to accommodate all types of security threats is to assess your risks. You need to identify the assets you need to protect, the vulnerabilities you need to address, and the threats you need to mitigate. You can use tools such as risk matrices, threat models, and vulnerability scanners to help you with this process. You should also review your system logs, audit trails, and incident reports to detect any signs of compromise or potential weaknesses.

2 Implement security policies

The second step to accommodate all types of security threats is to implement security policies. You need to define the rules, standards, and procedures that govern how your systems are configured, accessed, and maintained. You should also document your roles, responsibilities, and accountabilities for system administration tasks. You can use tools such as policy frameworks, templates, and checklists to help you with this process. You should also communicate your security policies to your users, stakeholders, and partners and ensure they comply with them.

Wichtig ist vor der Einführung von IT-Sicherheitsrichtlinien erstmal zu prüfen, wo kommt diese her und wofür ist sie gedacht. Zum Beispiel ist die "Security Technical Implementation Guides (STIGs)" des US Milt?r für den Europ?ischen Mittelstand wohl eher ungeeignet. Auch kann diese US Vorgaben enthalten die den US Geheimdiensten Vorteile verschaffen (z.B. FIPS und Zufallszahlengenerator). Die Microsoft Security Baseline w?re da eher ein guter Anhaltspunkt. Auch existieren in Verschiedenen L?ndern auch landesspezifische Empfehlungen, in Deutschland zum Beispiel der IT-Grundschutz des BSI. Wichtig bei der Implementierung ist genau zu Dokumentieren wann und warum von der Empfehlung abgewichen worden ist. Das ist besonders bei Audits wichtig.

3 Apply security controls

The third step to accommodate all types of security threats is to apply security controls. You need to implement the technical, administrative, and physical measures that protect your systems from unauthorized or malicious actions. You should also monitor, test, and update your security controls regularly to ensure they are effective and aligned with your security policies. You can use tools such as firewalls, antivirus, encryption, backup, and patch management to help you with this process. You should also report, respond, and recover from any security incidents or breaches that occur.

Wichtig ist das Testen der Ma?nahmen. Es hilft nicht, wenn erst im Fehlerfall festgestellt wird, das die Datensicherung erfolgt ist, aber sie nicht wiederhergestellt werden kann. So sollten auch Anti-Virus Systeme regelm??ig zum Beispiel durch EICAR test geprüft werden. Dabei ist auch die eventuelle Alarmierung und Berichterstattung zu prüfen. Diese tests sollten wenn m?glich automatisiert werden, oder regelm??ig manuell durchgeführt werden.

4 Educate your users

The fourth step to accommodate all types of security threats is to educate your users. You need to raise the awareness and skills of your users regarding the best practices and behaviors that enhance system security. You should also provide them with the resources and support they need to perform their tasks securely and efficiently. You can use tools such as training, newsletters, quizzes, and feedback to help you with this process. You should also encourage your users to report any suspicious or unusual activities or requests they encounter.

Eine M?glichkeit, neben den klassischen Schulungen Sind "Fallen" für Benutzer. Diese helfen Schwachstellen zu identifizieren. Beste Variante die ich bei Kunden gesehen habe war die Verteilung von 10 von der IT manipulierten USB Stcks auf dem Parkplatz. Bei einstecken in den Firmen-PC l?sten dies eine Fehlermeldung und das automatisierte Herunterfahren des Systems aus. Natürlich wurde die IT automatisch beim Einstecken informiert und konnte so direkt auf den Anwender zugehen. Trotz vorheriger Sicherheitsbelehrung die Woche vorher wurden 9 von 10 USB Stickt ohne nachzudenken in den Firmencomputer eingesteckt. Der 10 wurde beim Parkvorgang zerst?rt.

5 Review your practices

The fifth step to accommodate all types of security threats is to review your practices. You need to evaluate the effectiveness and efficiency of your system administration practices and identify any gaps or areas for improvement. You should also benchmark your practices against the industry standards and best practices and learn from the experiences and insights of other system administrators. You can use tools such as audits, surveys, metrics, and reports to help you with this process. You should also seek feedback from your users, stakeholders, and partners and implement any changes or enhancements that are needed.

6 Stay updated

The sixth and final step to accommodate all types of security threats is to stay updated. You need to keep abreast of the latest trends, innovations, and challenges in system administration and security. You should also follow the news, alerts, and advisories from reputable sources and authorities regarding any emerging or evolving security threats or issues. You can use tools such as blogs, podcasts, webinars, and newsletters to help you with this process. You should also join and participate in the online and offline communities and networks of system administrators and security professionals and share your knowledge and experiences with them.
