To protect GC electronic networks, devices and information, the following is a non-exhaustive list of security considerations that can be implemented in a layered manner to support a defence-in-depth approach for web services and minimize opportunities for cyber attacks:

 

* Deploy modern operating systems (OS) and applications that are maintained with supported, up-to-date, and tested versions of software.

* Deploy modern operating systems (OS) and applications that are maintained with supported, up-to-date, and tested versions of software.

* Actively manage software vulnerabilities, including fixing known vulnerabilities quickly following a timely patch maintenance policy for OS and applications, and taking other mitigating steps, where patches can’t be applied.

* Carefully control and manage privileges assigned to users and administrators. Provide a reasonable (but minimal) level of system privileges and rights needed for their role.

* Use strong authentication mechanisms (for example, multi-factor authentication) where possible to protect from unauthorized access.

* Design web services so that they are protected from common security vulnerabilities such as SQL injection and others described in widely-used publications such as the Open Web Application Security * Project (OWASP) Top 10.
