Apply Resource Protection Techniques to Media

Оглавление

Protecting the information on storage media requires that you can control or limit the onward use, copying, or other redistribution of that information; it also requires you to protect your systems from being contaminated by information from a classification level that does not belong on your systems. For example, the Biba and Bell–LaPadula access control models to show how different models emphasize confidentiality or integrity. Both choices can be undone by putting the wrong level of information onto the wrong removable media and then introducing that media into another system. You'll see a variety of standards and practices in use that may place different emphasis on protecting either the information (and its confidentiality, nonrepudiability, or integrity) or the systems (by protecting their integrity, and hence their availability and authenticity).

Before covering the methods for properly managing media, it's important to acknowledge that these methods will vary based on the types of media used. The umbrella term of media or information system media could mean legacy analog formats, such as hard-copy documents, photos, and microfilm. It could also (more likely) be in reference to a wide range of digital formats, such as external hard drives, floppy disks, diskettes, magnetic tape, memory cards, flash drives, and optical disks such as CDs, DVDs and Blu-Ray disks.

As you might expect, making secure but removable media work requires successfully integrating your security classification schema, your device-level identity management and access control, and the management of all endpoints' capabilities to use removable storage—including on the endpoint itself.
