Study Notes
Vulnerability Management Policy
- Cyber security risk is a key factor in third party transactions and business engagements. Constant risk changes necessitate minimizing data loss and ensuring steady operations.
- The policy aims to identify vulnerabilities in IT facilities and services. Priorities are set for corrective and preventative action to reduce the recurrence of issues to a minimum.
- Natesan's security management practices involve continuous scanning and remediation of vulnerabilities across its IT infrastructure (including applications, infrastructure and endpoints).
Category of Vulnerabilities
- Physical access: Weaknesses in data systems' physical environment can lead to physical attacks (e.g., vandalism, theft, unauthorized access).
- Database vulnerability: Databases are crucial for storing information. Data breaches in databases can cause significant losses.
- Application and web services: Design flaws in web applications are often targeted by hackers and security researchers. These flaws can impact dynamic web applications. Incorrect configurations may also be exploited by attackers.
Implementation by IT Department
- Vulnerability identification: Systems, networks, servers, and databases are assessed to identify possible weaknesses and vulnerabilities. Scanning tools are used.
- Vulnerability analysis: A detailed analysis of vulnerabilities identifies the root cause and evaluates the severity of potential attacks.
- Prioritization: Vulnerabilities are prioritized based on severity, impacting data/systems, and required corrective actions.
Vulnerability Disclosure
- Natesan prioritizes the security of its systems and customer data. Active reporting of vulnerabilities helps maintain system safety and reliability.
- Reporting security incidents should be done by emailing [email protected] and following the guidelines.
- Steps for reporting include: notification as soon as possible, avoidance of privacy violations or data disruption, reasonable time for issue resolution before public disclosure, and controlled use of exploits.
- Modifications or deletions of Natesan data, or creation of backdoors, should be avoided.
Conclusion
- The Vulnerability Management Policy identifies and addresses vulnerabilities within Natesan's IT systems and services. Timely corrective and preventive actions ensure the recurrence of vulnerabilities is decreased.
