Illumio Security Policy – How to Automate Security Policies
In this paper, we leverage on the open-source project Illumio to automatically enforce one aspect of our security model. By monitoring and managing policies, we avoid exposing a security model that is out of date. This is particularly important for security-sensitive software, because new technologies always push the envelope in security. We show how to automate policies using new technologies like Dockerfiles and containerized policies. We validate against a variety of security testing cases. The paper is published in the Open Journal of Security Studies and has a section on Docker, which is referenced throughout the paper. The Docker-based approach can be understood as the integration of Docker technology into Illumio Security Policy.

There has been an increasing trend for companies to invest in artificial intelligence and automation for security policies. Many of these companies have moved to a “smart” security architecture that involves using new technologies — usually at the expense of the current security architecture.
In the past, most companies have had a single-principle security strategy—security comes first.
This new security strategy is a very different proposition, and one that is in great need of a more robust security architecture. For example, let us imagine a web application, which is a critical business asset of a company A. As a part of their security strategy, the company A invests in a security cloud service that provides a secure platform for its web application.
At the outset, security is considered first. A software security engineer at the company A reviews existing security policies and tries to understand how the web application should be secured. From there, he or she determines which security policies, if any, to implement. This can involve many steps, and all of those steps are time-consuming and error prone. Eventually, the security policies are implemented.
As time goes on, the software is upgraded. As security practices evolve, the software is updated. New security policies and technologies are made available for use.
How to enforce a zero trust segmentation policy
The security vulnerability of a zero trust segmentation policy is well-documented; however, implementation of the policy in practice is rarely enforced. This article highlights the potential for such implementation to lead to a vulnerability that is extremely difficult to mitigate. The implications of such a vulnerability, particularly in relation to the trust chain for a user, are highlighted, as well as the impact it can have on your organization.

As organizations look to comply with GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) regulations, the focus has, in recent years, understandably and increasingly shifted to ensuring compliance with the new EU privacy regulations: the General Data Protection Regulation and the EU General Data Protection Directive.
As this article highlights, there is a good likelihood that in today’s GDPR environment, organizations are required to implement a zero trust policy, which is a policy that explicitly states that personal data received from a EU-based organization cannot be shared in the EU without the express consent of the data subject. While there are many other policies that can be used to achieve the same effect, the principle of zero trust, as set out in the GDPR, is at the core of the legislation.
As part of GDPR, the EU General Data Protection Regulation, (GDPR), was adopted by the EU parliament on 25 May 2018, which was signed into law by president of the European Commission, at the end of last year (March 2019). GDPR also contains several important enhancements to its predecessor, the EU General Data Protection Regulation.
The GDPR introduces a new EU privacy regulation; it has broadened the scope of the GDPR to address not only the EU’s citizens and residents, but also entities that operate within the EU, including businesses.
All over impose zero trust.
Article Title: All over impose zero trust | Network Security. Full Article Text: Security professionals have a very broad picture of security threats, how it is done and how to protect their systems from them. They also have a very broad view of how to identify, fix, remove, and recover any potentially broken systems. This brings me to the problem with which I am concerned: the ‘whine when you fail’ syndrome.

Zero Trust Policies in a Data Center
The Zero Trust Policies for Data Center Security.
Security policies, whether voluntary or mandatory, are key to effectively securing enterprises from the potential exploitation of unproven cybersecurity vulnerabilities in data centers while also supporting the security of critical infrastructure and the operations of all organizations.
Categorizing the security risks inherent within such environments, as well as the methods of mitigating them, presents a major challenge. However, this challenge is compounded by the complexity of achieving effective and comprehensive data center security, which requires significant coordination between multiple organizations tasked with implementing appropriate security policies. The following policy framework outlines several such security risks; policies must prevent the exploitation of unproven vulnerabilities as well as provide effective mitigations for these vulnerabilities.
We define a vulnerability in a data center as a flaw or flaw combination, a vulnerability which is demonstrated through research to have sufficient severity and impact, sufficient to make it a real risk to the data center.
Similarly, a policy is a set of actions to be taken to secure a data center so that it may be used effectively and efficiently. A security policy can be formal or informal, formal if it includes a set of goals, norms, and procedures for the implementation of the policy, or informal if the implementation may be left to the discretion of an organization or a set of individuals.
Any organization must be able to identify and describe vulnerabilities, which would include not only flaws in products or systems, but also vulnerabilities caused by malicious activity.
The most commonly exploited vulnerabilities are those that allow an attacker to steal or otherwise compromise personal data or systems or cause malicious code to execute in the data center.
Exploitable vulnerabilities include flaws in code or hardware that are exploitable by a human or even by a system. These faults are often specific to a product or a subsystem, or are related to a system.
Exploitable vulnerabilities (CVE) are found within the public domain.
Exploitable vulnerabilities are not in themselves exploitable (CVE).
Exploitable vulnerabilities can be found in vulnerabilities present in current or past products or vulnerabilities identified from information security incident reports.
Tips of the Day in Network Security
This is a guest post by Richard Thomas, a leading Network and Security Information Security Consultant with Network Security Associates, and author of “The End of the Day: Resolving Critical Network Issues in Just a Few Hours.
This week, I’m going to share the top 5 tips on how to secure your network day and night and make it less stressful during the day by keeping yourself on top of the latest threats and attacks.
My tips today are a little different for the first, because they’re specifically about network security on the mobile – a place I’m not an expert in yet, but I’m going to suggest that you give a shot to this today. I’m going to suggest that you take a moment and read about Mobile Device Management, then I’ll go over the top five mobile security principles and tell you what you need to do to implement them in your network.
