IT Baseline Protection Manual - The Information Warfare Site

IT Baseline Protection of Generic Components Contigenc Planning
_________________________________________________________________________________________
This chapter offers a systematic approach as to how an Emergency Manual can be compiled and
trained. This covers stage 1 and stages 3 and 4. The Implementation of stage 2 requires an assessment
of the individual IT system. These measures are described in the relevant modules of this manual.
The compilation of an Emergency Manual and the safeguards required involve considerable expense.
It is thus particularly recommended to use this chapter for
- IT systems requiring a high degree of availability
- large IT systems (mainframe computers, large UNIX systems, extensive networks)
- a large number of IT systems concentrated in one area.
Threat Scenario
In this Chapter, the threat
- T 1.2 Failure of the IT system
is considered as representative for all threats which could cause failure as regards IT baseline
protection.
Recommended Countermeasures (S)
For the implementation of IT baseline protection, selection of the required packages of safeguards
("modules") as described in chapters 2.3 and 2.4, is recommended.
The safeguards should be treated in the order stated so as to ensure that the Emergency Manual is
compiled systematically.
