Another good starting place is the NIST Internet Security Policy Technical Guide at http://csrc.nist.gov/isptg/ As well as the IETF Site Security Handbook at http://info.broker.isi.edu/in-notes/rfc/files/rfc2196.txt The price is right :-) -Richard Stiennon -----Original Message----- From: Maddy [mailto:mwlalex () magix com sg] Sent: Wednesday, January 10, 2001 10:45 AM To: Bret Watson Cc: Melissa Stockman; firewall-wizards () nfr net Subject: Re: [fw-wiz] Security Policy Example Just in case you are thinking of buying BS7799, do consider ISO-17799 which is supposedly an updated version of the original BS7799. I can't confirmed as I am still waiting for the doc to be delivered. Anyway, you can get it from www.iso.ch. Rgds Maddy Bret Watson wrote:
I think its more a case of wanting to make more money. Personally I wouldn't bother - its only the first policy that is hard to write, after that it becomes easier. Also no policy will fit your org without needing re-writing, though it is easier to edit someone else's work to fit.. You probably would be better off having a look at BS7799 / AS4444 as these are standards for an Information Security Management system - ie. a set of policies and the framework to enforce them. You can also go to the BSI.de site and look at the baseline security
manual
(perhaps it is better to do a search for it - BSI-de is largely in german. Good luck!

The price that most people where stating was around $500 and indeed that's what it said on their web page about a month ago. However, when I went to order it recently, I was shocked to see that the price is now $795. The original price of $495 is still displayed on the page http://www.baselinesoft.com/ as of today, but when you click to order you see the 'new' price. I wonder if this is a consequence of it's popularity. mel -- Melissa Stockman Tel: 961 1 786 456 Director of IT Fax: 961 1 867 098 Lebanese American University melissa.stockman () lau edu lb www.lau.edu.lb_______________________________________________ firewall-wizards mailing list firewall-wizards () nfr com http://www.nfr.com/mailman/listinfo/firewall-wizards
