IT@Intel: Return on Security Investment

Matt Rosenquist, Information Security Strategist at Intel, says that measuring success in the security industry is difficult, since there isnt a perfect tool for measuring what doesnt happen. In this podcas talks about how he approaches a nascent practice like security. Rosenquist blogs about security for IT@Intel, where in a recent post he posited some reasons why virtualization remains a open — and important — question for security professionals. In his post, Rosenquist argues that, since you cant get any deeper than the hardware, Intel and other hardware designers are best positioned to help take the high ground in any battle against attackers. And its worth checking out the podcast video and reading his full blog post to see what Rosenquist means by success (hint: security isnt an end, in Rosenquists thinking).

Do these three things and you'll significantly reduce your vulnerabilities but nothing is invulnerable:

1. Any system accessible from the Internet should NOT be on your DMZ. Any system that IS on your DMZ should NOT contain sensitive info.

2. Anything with sensitive info ONLY resides in the private network, which is NEVER connected to the Internet.

3. Ensure the ONLY way the DMZ can connect to the private network is via middleware (VPN concentrator, ISAS, etc.)
