  1. Web Application Security Implementation SANS MSISE GDWP Kevin Bong John Brozycki July 26, 2007

  2. Introduction • Website vulnerability used to copy customer data to foreign host. • Senior management to acquire services of penetration team. Not available for immediate needs. • Post incident,we are tasked with creation of a web application security assessment program, to implement within a few days.

  3. Web Assessment Process Manual Web Server Audit Inventory Conduct Interviews Automated Vulnerability Scan Report Findings Manual Web Application Audit

  4. Web Service Inventory • Need to know what is legitimate and necessary. (Programs, services, ports) • Need to know where the data lives and how it is accessed. • Rate assets (web servers/services) to focus resources and set priorities.

  5. Performing Automated Scans • Verify the inventory by confirming the existence of services. • Identify additional, unneeded processes and check for common vulnerabilities and misconfigurations for both the necessary and unnecessary processes and services. • Quickly identify the low hanging fruit.

  6. Manual Audit of Web Server Security • Review if best practices are followed • Is defense in depth employed? • Configuration of web server and web development frameworks • User and service accounts and rights • Error messages, other information leakage • Do log files store appropriate information? • Review change processes for ports and services through interviews

  7. Manual Audit of Web Applications • Based on inventory, focus on potentially vulnerable code • Specific tests to be performed against each dynamic page • Interview developers to determine if processes prevent new vulnerabilities

  8. Deliverables for the Senior Management Team • Reports and recommendations delivered within days. • Results of inventory, scans, and manual audits used to provide action items that can be given to implementation team. • Additional recommendations from tiger team to management to minimize reoccurrences.
