1 Federal Office for Information Security The Role of the BSI in the German IT-Security Market Challenges in the Information Age Office History, Tasks and Services Information & Awareness Programme Baseline Security Product Certification Projects with Industry on IT-Security Bernd Kowalski Bundesamt für Sicherheit in der Informationstechnik (BSI) Federal Office for Information Security San Francisco, February 23rd 2004 Bernd Kowalski Folie 1 Challenges in the Information Age ICT changes social and commercial structures ICT gets major impact on national economy. Business infrastructures depend on reliability of ICT. e-business and e-government redefine relationship to business partners, customers and citizens. Electronic Funds Transfer and e-payment replace banknotes and other traditional payment systems. Smartcards & Biometrics push electronic passport-management. ICT is essential to manage all national critical infrastructures like traffic, energy, chemical, healthcare, telco, emergency etc. Providing reliability and control of national ICT-infrastructures will be a question of national security and sovereignty. Bernd Kowalski Folie 2

2 Challenges in the Information Age Threats to National ICT Infrastructures Security weaknesses in IT-Systems. Difficulty to detect attacks and attackers. Security investments jeopardize commercial success. More than 80% of critical IT-infrastructures are private. Difficulty of national regulations in a global competitive environment. IT-infrastructures are highly interdependent, e.g.: Weaknesses of customers`/citizens` systems may be used to attack industrial or governmental systems (DDoS). Bernd Kowalski Folie 3 Challenges in the Information Age German Government Initiatives Define Security of information systems as a part of national security. Rules for the certification and approval of IT-Security systems. Provide services for the security of government IT-systems. Support industry and citizens to increase their IT-Security level. Commit to Public Private Partnerships (PPP`s) to increase the security of critical national IT-infrastructures. Provide for a strong and independent IT-Security industry. Bernd Kowalski Folie 4

Limited corporate IT-budgets and -competence, esp. in SMEs. Business partners want to check the IT-security level of cooperating institutions by an independant method. Traditional risk analysis methods are complex & not reusable. Objectives: IT-Sec.guidelines applicable & affordable for standard IT- Method: infrastr. Define standard types of IT-components, threats & safeguards. Give practical advice how to implement these safeguards. Result: Modular concept: threat & safeguard catalogue per component. Applicable to common IT-infrastr. in public & private sectors. Bernd Kowalski Folie 12

7 IT Baseline Protection Tools General Guideline Overview and awareness program for CEOs. Handbook Available in CD, Online and printed format. Software Toolkit Menu-based planning tool. Gets you to your individual security soluition. Web Tutorial Provides an overview on baseline protection. Introduces the concept of the SW-Toolkit. Available on the Web. Bernd Kowalski Folie 13 Objectives Product Certification Evaluation of security features of IT-Products. Improve both security and quality of IT-infrastructures. Independant and trustworthy product evaluation and certification. Consideration of national security requirements. Strategic support for national IT-Security industry. Legal Framework BSI is the national authority for the German certification scheme. No general legal obligation to purchase certified products. Except: approval of products for the processing of classified information. Bernd Kowalski Folie 14

8 Product Certification Why should manufactures apply for a certificate? Improve product quality and security. Use public product certificate for product marketing. Government requirements in certain areas: German Signature Law, EU- and NATO-Directives etc. Why should Buyers request for a certified product? Product has been evaluated by an independant, accredited body. Manufacturer is responsible for evaluation expenses not the buyer. Certificate may help to provide evidence for resistance against certain threats.
