Introduction of
Ethical Hacking

Chapter 1: Introduction to Ethical Hacking
Technology Brief
Information Security 0verview
The methods and processes to protect information and
information systems from unauthorized access, the disclosure of
information, usage or modification. Information security ensures
the confidentiality, integrity, and availability. An organization
without security policies and appropriate security rules are at
great risk, and the confidential information and data related to
that organization are not secure in the absence of these security
policies.
An organization along with well-defined security policies and
procedures helps in protecting the assets of that organization from
unauthorized access and disclosures. In the modern world, with
the latest technologies and platforms, millions of users interacting
with each other every minute.
These sixty seconds can be vulnerable and costly to the private
and public organizations due to the presence of various types of
old and modern threats all over the world. Public internet is the
most common and rapid option for spreading threats all over the
world. Malicious Codes and Gcripts, Viruses, Gpams, and
Malware are always waiting for you.
That is why the Gecurity risk to a network or a system can never
eliminate. It is always a great challenge to implement a security
policy that is effective and beneficial to the organization instead of
the application of an unnecessary security implementation which
can waste the resources and create a loophole for threats.

GoogIe PIay Hack
A Turkish Hacker, “Ibrahim Balic” hacked Google Play twice. He conceded
the responsibility of the Google Play attack. It was not his first attempt; he
acclaimed that he was behind the Apple's Developer site attack. He tested
vulnerabilities in Google's Developer Console and found a flaw in the Android
Operating Gystem, which he tested twice to make sure about it causing crash
again and again.
The Home Depot Data Breach
Theft of information from payment cards, like credit cards is common
nowadays. In ZO14, Home Depot's Point of Gale Gystems were compromised.
A released statement from Home Depot on the 8th of Geptember ZO14 claimed
breach of their systems.

Essential Terminology
Hack VaIue
The term Hack Value refers to a value that denotes
attractiveness, interest or something that is worthy. Value
describes the targets' level of attraction to the hacker.
Zero-Day Attack
Zero-Day Attacks referrs to threats and vulnerabilities that
can exploit the victim before the developer identify or
address and release any patch for that vulnerability.
Vulnerability
The vulnerability refers to a weak point, loophole or a
cause in any system or network which can be helpful and
utilized by the attackers to go through it. Any vulnerability
can be an entry point for them to reach the target.
Daicy Ghaining
Daisy Chaining is a sequential process of several hacking
or attacking attempts to gain access to network or
systems, one after another, using the same information
and the information obtained from the previous attempt.

Payload
The payload referrs to the actual section of information or
data in a frame as opposed to automatically generated
metadata. In information security, Payload is a section or
part of a malicious and exploited code that causes the
potentially harmful activity and actions such as exploit,
opening backdoors etc.
Bot
The bots are software that is used to control the target
remotely and to execute predefined tasks. The bots are
also known as for Internet Bot or Web Robot. These Bots
can be used for Gocial purposes such as Chatterbots,
Commercial purpose or intended Malicious Purpose such
as Gpambots, Viruses etc.
Elements of Information Security
Confidentiality
We want to make sure that our secret and sensitive data is
secure. Confidentiality means that only authorized
persons can work with and see our infrastructure's digital
resources. It also implies that unauthorized persons
should not have any access to the data..
Integrity
We do not want our data to be accessible or manipulated
by unauthorized persons. Data integrity ensures that only
authorized parties can modify data.

Authenticity
Authentication is the process which identifies the user, or device to
grant privileges, access and certain rules and policies. Gimilarly,
Authenticity ensures the authentication of certain information initiates
from a valid user claiming to be the source of that information &
message transactions. The process of authentication through the
combined function of identities and passwords can achieve
Authenticity.
Figure 1-1 Elementc of Information
Cegurity
Non-Repudiation

Nonrepudiation is one of the Information Assurance (IA) pillar which
guarantees the information transmission & receiving between the
sender and receiver via different techniques such as digital signatures
and encryption. Non-repudiation is the assurance the communication
and its authenticity, so the sender cannot deny from what he sent.
Gimilarly, the receiver cannot deny from receiving. Digital contracts,
signatures and email messages use Nonrepudiation techniques.
The Security, Functionality, and Usability Triangle
In a Gystem, Level of Gecurity is a measure of the strength of the
Gecurity in the system, Functionality, and Usability. These three
components are known as the Gecurity, Functionality and Usability
triangle. Consider a ball in this triangle, if the ball is centered, it means
all three components are stronger, on the other hand, if the ball is
closer to security, it means the system is consuming more resources
for security and feature and function of the system and Usability
requires attention. A secure system must provide strong protection
along with offering all services and features and usability to the user.
Figure 1-£ Cegurity, Fungtionality & Ucability Triangle
Implementation of High level of Gecurity typically impacts the level of
functionality and usability with ease. The system becomes nonuser-
friendly with a decrease in performance. While developing an
application, deployment of security in a system, Gecurity experts must
keep in mind to make sure about functionality & ease of usability.
These three components of a triangle must be balanced.

Information Security Threats and Attack Vectors
Motives, Goals, and 0bjectives of Information SecurityAttacks
In the information security world, an attacker attacks the target
system with the three main components behind it. "Motive or
Objective" of an attack makes an attacker focus on attacking a
particular system. Another major component is "Method" that is
used by an attacker to gain access to a target system.
Vulnerability also helps the attacker to fulfill his intentions. These
three components are the major blocks on which an attack
depends.
Top Information Security Attack Vectors
cloud Gomputing Threatc
Cloud Computing is the most common trend & popularly in use
nowadays. It does not mean that threats to cloud computing or
cloud security are fewer. Mostly, the same issues as in
traditionally hosted environments also exist in the cloud
computing. It is very important to secure Cloud computing to
protect services and important data

Characteristics Description
Objectives Motive or Goal of threat
Timeliness Time spend in probing & accessing the target
Resources Level of Knowledge & tools
Risk tolerance tolerance to remain undetected
Gkills & Methods Tools & Techniques used throughout the
event
Actions Precise Action of threat
Attack origination points Number of origination points
Numbers involved in
attack
Number of Internal & External Gystem
involved
Knowledge Gource Discern information regarding threats
Characteristics of APT
Criteria are:

Incider Attack
An insider attack is the type of attack that is performed on
a system, within a corporate network, by a trusted person.
Trusted User is termed as Insider because Insider has
privileges and it is authorized to access the network
resources.

Information Security Threat
Categories
Information Gecurity Threats categories
are as follows:
Network Threatc
The primary components of network infrastructure are
routers, switches, and firewalls. These devices not only
perform routing and other network operations, but they
also control and protect the running applications, servers,
and devices from attacks and intrusions. The poorly
configured device offers intruder to exploit. Common
vulnerabilities on the network include using default
installation settings, open access controls, Weak
encryption & Passwords, and devices lacking the latest
security patches. Top network level threats include:
Information
gathering Gniffing
& Eavesdropping
Gpoofing
Gession hijacking
Man-in-the-Middle
Attack DNG & ARP
Poisoning
Password-based
Attacks Denial-of-
Gervices Attacks
Compromised Key
Attacks Firewall &
IDG Attacks

Hoct Threatc
Host threats are focused on system software; Applications are built
or running over this software such as Windows ZOOO, .NET
Framework, GQL Gerver, and others. The Host Level Threats
includes:
 Malware Attacks
 Foot printing Password Attacks
 Denial-of-Services Attacks
 Arbitrary code execution
Application Threat
Best practice to analyze application threats is by organizing them
into application vulnerability category. Main threats to the application
are:
 Improper Data / Input Validation Authentication & Authorization
 Attack Security Misconfiguration
 Information Disclosure Broken Session Management
Improper Error handling & Exception Management
Types of Attacks on a System
Operating System Attack
In Operating System Attacks, Attackers always search for an
operating system’s vulnerabilities. If they found any vulnerability in
an Operating System, they exploit to attack against the operating
system. Gome most common vulnerabilities of an operating system
are:
Buffer overflow vulnerabilities
Buffer Overflow is one of the major types of Operating System
Attacks. It is related to software exploitation attacks. In Buffer
overflow, when a -

program or application does not have well-defined boundaries
such as restrictions or pre-defined functional area regarding
the capacity of data it can handle or the type of data can be
inputted.
 Bug in the operating system
In software exploitation attack & bugs in software, the attacker
tries to exploit the vulnerabilities in software. This vulnerability
might be a mistake by the developer while developing the
program code. Attackers can discover these mistakes, use them
to gain access to the system.
 Unpatched operating system
Unpatched Operating System allows malicious activities, or could
not completely block malicious traffic into a system. Successful
intrusion can impact severely in the form of compromising
sensitive information, data loss and disruption of regular
operation.
 Misconfiguration Attack
In a corporate network while installation of new devices, the
administrator must have to change the default configurations. If
devices are left upon default configuration, using default
credentials, any user who does not have the privileges to access
the device but has connectivity can access the device.
 Application-Level Attack
Before releasing an application, the developer must make sure,
test & verify from its end, manufactures or from developer's end.
In an application-level attack, a hacker can use:
Buffer overflow Active content Cross-site script

Shrink Wrap Code Attack
Shrink Wrap code attack is the type of attack in which hacker uses the
shrink wrap code method for gaining access to a system. In this type of
attack, hacker exploits holes in unpatched Operating systems, poorly
configured software and application. To understand shrink wrap
vulnerabilities, consider an operating system has a bug in its original
software version. The vendor may have released the update, but it is the
most critical time between the release of a patch by vendor till client's
systems updates.
Information Warfare
Information warfare is a concept of warfare, to get involved in the warfare of
information to gain the most of information. The term, “Information
Warfare” or “Info Mar” describes the use of information and
communication technology (ICT). The major reason or focus of this
information war is to get a competitive advantage over the opponent or
enemy. The following is the classification of Information warfare into two
classes: -
1. Defensive InformationWarfare
Defensive Information warfare term is used to refer to all defensive
actions that are taken to defend from attacks to steal information and
information-based processes. Defensive Information ware fare areas
are: -
Prevention
Deterrence
Indication & Warning
Detection
Emergency Preparedness
Response

Hacking Concepts, Types, and Phases
Hacker
Hacker is the one who is smart enough to steal the information
such as Business data, personal data, financial information, credit
card information, username & Password from the system he is
unauthorized to get this information by taking unauthorized
control over that system using different techniques and tools.
Hacking
The Term "Hacking" in information security refers to exploiting the
vulnerabilities in a system, compromising the security to gain
unauthorized command and control over the system resources

The following are the five phases of hacking: -
1. Reconnaissance
Z. Gcanning
s. Gaining Access
4. Maintaining Access
5. Clearing Tracks
Reconnaissance
Reconnaissance is an initial preparing phase for the attacker to get
ready for an attack by gathering the information about the target
before launching an attack using different tools and techniques.
Gathering of information about the target makes it easier for an
attacker, even on a large scale. Gimilarly, in large scale, it helps to
identify the target range.
Scanning
Gcanning phase is a pre-attack phase. In this phase, attacker scans
the network by information acquired during the initial phase of
reconnaissance. Gcanning tools include Dialler, Gcanners such as
Port scanners, Network mappers, client tools such as ping, as well as
vulnerabilities scanner.
Gaining Access
Gaining access phase of hacking is the point where the hacker gets
the control over an operating system, application or computer
network. Control gained by the attacker defines the access level such
as operating system level, application level or network level access.

Maintaining Accecc / EccaIation of Privilege
Maintaining access phase is the point when an attacker is trying to
maintain the access, ownership & control over the compromised
systems. Gimilarly, attacker prevents the owner from being owned by
any other hacker. They use Backdoorc, Rootkitc or Trojanc to
retain their ownership. In this phase, an attacker may steal
information by uploading the information to the remote server,
download any file on the resident system, and manipulate the data
and configuration. To compromise other systems, the attacker uses
this compromised system to launch attacks.
Clearing Track
An attacker must hide his identity by covering the tracks. Covering
tracks are those activities which are carried out to hide the malicious
activities. Covering track is most required for an attacker to fulfill
their intentions by continuing the access to the compromised
system, remain undetected & gain what they want, remain unnoticed
and wipe all evidence that indicates his identity. To manipulate the
identity and evidence, the attacker overwrites the system,
application, and other related logs to avoid suspicion.

Ethical Hacking Concepts and Scope
Ethical Hacking
Ethical hacking and penetration testing are common terms, popular
in information security environment for a long time. Increase in
cybercrimes and hacking create a great challenge for security
experts and analyst and regulations over the last decade. It is a
popular war between hackers and security professionals.
My Ethical Hacking is Necessary
The rise in malicious activates, cybercrimes and appearance of
different forms of advanced attacks require to need of penetration
tester who penetrate the security of system and networks to be
determined, prepare and take precaution and remediation action
against these aggressive attacks.
These aggressive and advanced attacks include: -
 Denial-of-Services Attacks
 Manipulation of data
 Identity Theft Vandalism
 Credit Card theft Piracy
 Theft of Services
Increase in these type of attacks, hacking cases, and cyber-attacks,
because of increase of use of online transaction and online services
in the last decade.

Scope and Limitations of Ethical Hacking
Ethical Hacking is an important and crucial component of risk
assessment, auditing, counter frauds. Ethical hacking is widely
used as penetration testing to identify the vulnerabilities, risk,
and highlight the holes to take remedial actions against
attacks. However, there is also some limitations where ethical
hacking is not enough, or just through ethical hacking, the
issue could not resolve. An organization must first know what it
is looking for before hiring an external pentester. It helps focus
the goals to achieve and save time.
Phases of Ethical Hacking
Ethical Hacking is the combination of the following phases: -
1. Footprinting & Reconnaissance
2.. Gcanning
3. Enumeration
4. Gystem Hacking
5. Escalation of Privileges
6. Covering Tracks
Skills of an Ethical Hacker
A skilled, ethical hacker has a set of technical and non-
technical skills.

TechnicaI SkiIIc
1. Ethical Hacker has in-depth knowledge of almost all operating
systems, including all popular, widely- used operating systems such
as Windows, Linux, Unix, and Macintosh.
2. These ethical hackers are skilled at networking, basic and detailed
concepts, technologies, and exploring capabilities of hardware and
software.
3. Ethical hackers must have a strong command over security areas,
related issues, and technical domains.
4. They must have detailed knowledge of older, advanced, sophisticated
attacks.
Non-TechnicaI SkiIIc
1. Learning ability
2. Problem-solving skills
3. Communication skills
4. Committed to security policies
5. Awareness of laws, standards, and regulations.

Information Security Controls
Information Assurance (IA)
Information Assurance, in short, known as IA, depends upon the
components that are Integrity, Availability, Confidentiality, and
Authenticity. With the combination of these components, assurance of
information and information systems are ensured and protected during the
processes, usage, storage, and communication. These components are
defined earlier in this chapter.
Apart from these components, some methods and processes also help in
the achievement of information assurance such as: -
 Policies and Processes.
 Network Authentication.
 User Authentication.
 Network Vulnerabilities.
 Identifying problems and resources.
Implementation of a plan for identified requirements. Application of
information assurance control.
Information Security Management Program
Information Security Management programs are the programs that are
specially designed to focus on reducing the risk and vulnerabilities towards
information security environment to train the organization and users to
work in the less vulnerable state. The Information Security Management is
a combined management solution to achieve the required level of
information security using well-defined security policies, processes of
classification, reporting, and management and standards. The diagram on
the next page shows the EC-Council defined Information Security
Management Framework: -

Threat Modeling
Threat Modeling is the process or approach to identify, diagnose, and
assist the threats and vulnerabilities of the system. It is an approach
to risk management which dedicatedly focuses on analyzing the
system security and application security against security objectives.
This identification of threats and risks helps to focus and take action
on an event to achieve the goals. Capturing data of an organization,
implementing identification and assessment processes over the
captured information to analyze the information that can impact the
security of an application. Application overview includes the
identification process of an application to determine the trust
boundaries and data flow.

Enterprise Information Security Architecture (EISA)
Enterprise Information Gecurity Architecture is the combination of
requirements and processes that help in determination, investigation,
monitoring the structure of behavior of information system. The following are
the goals of EIGA: -
Network Security Zoning
Managing, deploying an architecture of an organization in different security zones is
called Network Gecurity Zoning. These security zones are the set of network devices
having a specific security level. Different security zones may have a similar or
different security level. Defining different security zones with their security levels
helps in monitoring and controlling of inbound and outbound traffic across the
network.

Information Security Policies
Information Gecurity Policies are the fundamental and the most
dependent component of the information security infrastructure.
Fundamental security requirements, conditions, rules are
configured to be enforced in an information security policy to
secure the organization's resources. These policies cover the
outlines of management, administration and security requirements
within an information security architecture.

The basic goals and objectives of the Information Gecurity Policies
are: - Cover Gecurity requirements and conditions of the
organization Protect organizations resources
• Eliminate legal liabilities
• Minimize the wastage of resources
• Prevent against unauthorized access
/ modification
• Minimize the risk
• Information Assurance

Types of Security Policies
The different types of security policies are as follows: -
1. Promiscuouspolicy
2. Permissive policy
3. Prudent policy
4. ParanoidPolicy
Promiccuouc poIicy
The promiscuous policy has no restriction on usage of system resources.
Permiccive poIicy
The permissive policy restricts only widely known, dangerous attacks or
behavior.
Prudent PoIicy
The prudent policy ensures maximum and strongest security among them.
However, it allows known, necessary risks, blocking all other service but
individually enabled services. Every event is log in prudent policy.
Paranoid PoIicy
Paranoid Policy denied everything, limiting internet usage.
Implications for Security Policy Enforcement
HR & LegaI ImpIication of Security PoIiciec
HR department has the responsibility of making sure the organization is
aware regarding security policies as well as providing sufficient training.

Physical Security
Physical Gecurity is always the top priority in securing anything. In
Information Gecurity, it is also considered important and regarded as
the first layer of protection. Physical security includes protection
against human-made attacks such as theft, damage, unauthorized
physical access as well as environmental impacts such as rain, dust,
power failure and fire.

Incident Management
Incident Response Management is the procedure and method of handling an
incident that occurs. This incident may be any specific violation of any
condition, policies, or else. Gimilarly, in information security, incident
responses are the remediation actions or steps taken as the response of an
incident depending upon identification of an event, threat or attack to the
removal or elimination (when system become stable, secure and functional
again). Incident response management defines the roles and responsibilities
of penetration testers, users or employees of an organization. Additionally,
incident response management defines actions required when a system is
facing a threat to its confidentiality, integrity, authenticity, availability depending
upon the threat level. Initially, the important thing to remember is when a
system is dealing with an attack, it requires sophisticated, dedicated
troubleshooting by an expert.
Incident Management Process
Incident Response Management processes include: -
1. Preparation for IncidentResponse
2. Detection and Analysis of Incident Response
3. Classification of an incident and its prioritization
4. Notification and Announcements
5. Containment
6. Forensic Investigation of an incident
7. Eradication and Recovery
8. Post-Incident Activities
Responsibilities of Incident Response Team
The Incident Response team is consists of the members who are well-aware
of dealing with incidents. This Response team is consists of trained officials
who are expert in collecting the information and secure all evidence of an
attack from the incident system. As far as the member of Incident response
team is concerned, this team includes IT personnel, HR, Public Relation
officers, Local Law enforcement, and Chief Gecurity officer.

Vulnerability Assessment
Vulnerability assessment is the procedure of examination,
identification, and analysis of system or application abilities
including security processes running on a system to withstand any
threat. Through vulnerability assessment, you can identify
weaknesses and threat to a system, scope a vulnerability, estimate
the requirement and effectiveness of any additional security layer.
Types of Vulnerability Assessment
The following are the types of vulnerability assessment:
1. ActiveAssessment
Z. Passive Assessment
s. Host-based Assessment
4. Internal Assessment
5. External Assessment
6. Network Assessment
7. Wireless Network Assessment
8. Application Assessment
Network Vulnerability Assessment Methodology
Network Vulnerability Assessment is an examination of possibilities
of an attack & vulnerabilities to a network. The following are the
phases of Vulnerability Assessment:
1. Acquisition
2. Identification
3. Analyzing
4. Evaluation
5. Generating Reports

Acquisition
The acquisition phase compares and review previously- identified
vulnerabilities, laws, and procedures that are related to network
vulnerability assessment.
Identification
In the Identification phase, interaction with customers, employees,
administration or other people that are involved in designing the network
architecture to gather the technical information.
Analyzing
Analyzing phase reviews, the gathered, collected information in the form of
a collection of documentation or one-to-one interaction. Analyzing phase is
basically: -
 Review information.
 Analyzing previously identified vulnerabilities results.
 Risk Assessment.
 Vulnerability and Risk Analysis.
 Evaluation of the effectiveness of existing security policies.
Evaluation

Evaluation-:
Evaluation phase includes: -
 Inspection of Identified Vulnerabilities.
 Identification of flaws, gaps in existing & required Security.
 Determination of Security Control required resolving the
issues Vulnerabilities.
 Identify modification and Upgrades.
Generating Report
Reporting phase is documentation of draft report required for future, inspection.
This report helps identify vulnerabilities in the acquisition phase. Audit and
Penetration also require these previously collected reports. When any
modification in security mechanism is required, these reports help to design
security infrastructure. Central Databases usually holds these reports. Reports
contain: -
• Task did by each member of the team.
Methods & tools used.
• Findings. Recommendation.
• Collected information from different phases.

Penetration Testing
Technology 0verview
In the Ethical Hacking environment, the most common term that often uses is
"pentecter." Pentesters are the penetration tester that has permission to hack a
system by owner. Penetration testing is the process of hacking a system with
the permission from the owner of that system, to evaluate security, Hack Value,
Target of Evaluation (TOE), attacks, exploits, zero-day vulnerability & other
components such as threats, vulnerabilities, and daisy chaining.
Important for Penetration testing
If you want to be ready for an attack, you must be smart, to think like
them, act like them. Hackers are skilled, having detailed information
of hardware's, software, networking and other related information.
The need and importance of penetration testing, in the modern
world where variously advanced threat such as Denial-of-service,
Identity theft, theft of services, stealing information is common,
system penetration ensure to counter the attack from malicious
threat by anticipating methods. Some other major advantages and
need for penetration testing is to uncover the vulnerabilities in
systems and security deployments in the same way an attacker
gains access: -

 To identify the threats and vulnerabilities to organizations assets.
 To provide a comprehensive assessment of policies, procedures,
design, and architecture.
 To set remediation actions to secure them before they are used by a
hacker to breach security.
 To identify what an attacker can access to steal.
 To identify what information can be theft and its use.
 To test and validate the security protection & identify the need for any
additional protection layer.
 Modification andup-gradation of currently deployment security
architecture.
 To reduce the expense of IT Security by enhancing Return on Security
Investment (ROGI).
Types of Penetration Testing
Three types of Penetration testing are important to be
differentiated because a penetration tester may have asked to
perform any of them.

Black boxing is designed to demonstrate an emulated
situation as an attacker in countering an attack.
Gray box
Gray box, is a type of penetration testing in which the pentester
has very limited prior knowledge of the system or any information
of targets such as IP addresses, Operating system or network
information in very limited. Gary boxing is designed to
demonstrate an emulated situation as an insider might have this
information and to counter an attack as the pentester has basic,
limited information regarding target.
White box
The white box is a type of penetration testing in which the
pentester has complete knowledge of system and information of
the target. This type of penetration is done by internal security
teams or security audits teams to perform auditing.
Phases of Penetration Testing
Penetration testing is a three-phase process.
1- Pre-Attack Phase
2-Attack Phase
3- Post-Attack Phase
BIack Box
The black box is a type of penetration testing in which the
pentester is blind testing or double-blind testing, i.e. provided
with no prior knowledge of the system or any information of
the target.

Security Testing Methodology
There are some methodological approaches to be adopted for security
or penetration testing. Industry-leading Penetration Testing
Methodologies are: -
• Open Web Application Gecurity Project (OWAGP)
• Open Gource Gecurity Testing Methodology Manual
(OGGTMM)
• Information Gystems Gecurity Assessment Framework
(IGAF)
• EC-Council Licensed Penetration Tester (LPT)
Methodology

Information Security Laws and Standards
Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS)
Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DGG) is a global
information security standard by “PGI Security Standard Council,”
available for organizations to develop, enhance and assess security
standards for handling cardholder information and security standard for
payment account security.
Founding members of this council are: -
 American Express, Discover Financial Services
 JCB International
 MasterCard
 Visa Inc.
PCI data security standard deals with basically cardholder data security for
debit, credit, prepaid, e-purse, ATM and POG cards. A high-level overview of
PCI-DGG provide: -
 Secure Network Strong Access Control
 Cardholder data security
 Regular Monitoring and Evaluation of Network
 Maintaining Vulnerability Program Information
 security policy
IS0/IEC
International Organization for Standardization (IGO) and International
Electro-Technical Commission (IEC) are organizations that globally develop
and maintain their standards. This standard is a revised edition (second) of
the first edition IGO/IGE Z7OO1:ZOO5. IGO/IEC Z7OO1:ZO1s cover the
following key point in information security: -
 Implementation and maintaining Security requirements.
 Information security management processes.
 Assurance of Cost-effective risk management.

Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)
Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) was passed in
1PP6 by Congress. HIPAA runs with Department of Health and Human
Gervices (HHG) to develop and maintain regulation that associates with
privacy and security of health information. HIPAA Gecurity rules ensure
what information is protected, additionally, the safeguards that must apply
to secure electronic protected health information.
The major domains in information security where HIPAA is developing and
maintain standards and regulations are: -
• Electronic Transaction and Code Gets
• Standards Privacy Rules
• Security Rules
• national Identifier Requirements
• Enforcement Rules
Sarbanes 0xley Act (S0X)
Garbanes Oxley Act (GOX) key requirements or provisions organizes in the
form of 11 titles which are as follows: -

Title X Corporate tax returns
Title XI Corporate fraud and accountability
Some other regulatory bodies are offering the standards that are being
deployed worldwide including Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and
Federal Information Gecurity Management Act (FIGMA). DMCA is United
Gtates copyright law whereas FIGMA a framework for ensuring information
security control effectiveness. According to Homeland Gecurity, FIGMA
ZO14 codifies the Department of Homeland Gecurity's role in administering
the implementation of information security policies for federal Executive
Branch civilian agencies, overseeing agencies' compliance with those
policies, and assisting OMB in developing those policies. The legislation
provides the Department authority to develop and oversee the
implementation of binding operational directives to other agencies, in
coordination and consistent with OMB policies and practices. The Federal
Information Gecurity Modernization Act of ZO14 amends the Federal
Information Gecurity Management Act of ZOOZ(FIGMA).
