The center for internet security has a pdf that goes over security metrics in detail Andy Tornquist Sr. Infrastructure Security Specialist Association of American Colleges Office: 202 862 6280 Cell: 202-288-5909 Fax: 202 862 6122 AIM: ATORNQUISTAAMC -----Original Message----- From: listbounce () securityfocus com [mailto:listbounce () securityfocus com] On Behalf Of WALI Sent: Saturday, September 04, 2010 9:55 AM To: security-basics () securityfocus com Subject: Most useful security metrics in management monthly reports I was thinking of creating a template for regularly capturing some information security metrics for putting together in my monthly report to executive management. Being in a non banking environment, the metrics should be more inward looking. Also, they should make sense for me too from being 'proactively screening security' perspective. Examples that come to mind, who took rights over others exchange mailbox, how many new users got assigned to active directory domain admin group in the past month, how many failed login attempts and from which workstations? etc. The idea is to identify metrics that might relate to something that's fishy out there, not necessarily coming out of Firewalls, IPS etc. Any advise? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Securing Apache Web Server with thawte Digital Certificate In this guide we examine the importance of Apache-SSL and who needs an SSL certificate.
