Password Reuse — In past IA Corner articles, we’ve talked about how to secure your online identity, including passwords, for sites like Facebook and social media sites. We’ve talked about how to protect against password resets by selecting difficult to guess reset questions, and lastly not posting information online that is used to verify your identity such as, mother’s maiden name, city of birth, your favorite food, your favorite movie, etc. For a real life example, Google “Sarah Palin Yahoo compromise”. I know what you’re thinking, “You mean I shouldn’t reuse my passwords across different websites, services, or applications! It took me forever to memorize that stupid password in the first place!” The answer is “No”. You know how to create strong passwords and you should create a separate unique password for every unique login you have. Trust Issues — Pretty much everyone is guilty of the sin of password reuse. But if you have a strong password, what is the risk? The danger of password reuse doesn’t become evident until one of the sites you’ve trusted with your password gets compromised. Every single site you visit these days has a login. Whether that login gives you a one-time use coupon, a trusted email account, or banking access, we have to create and maintain a username and password. One of the fastest growing areas of information security research is being done in the area of “Credential Harvesting”, a field where researchers gather databases of stolen user authentication information including usernames and passwords, to study the habits of online users. These databases come from hackers who either post or sell them online for profit or malicious use. Password Use Based on Trust — Let’s break this down. You have passwords for AnonymousOnlineForum. net”, “GroceryStore.com”, “SketchyOnlineDeals.com”, Amazon.com, “OnlineBank.com”, iTunes, and so on. Should you use the same strong password for each of these? If you have a strong password, why not use it everywhere? Here are some tips. I suggest a trust model for password use that you employ for all passwords from this point forward. In the simplest way, think about how much you trust the site you’re about to give your password. Sites like your bank should employ much higher levels of protection to keep not just your password safe but your money safe as well. Generally speaking, online retailers, medical providers, and industries with electronic regulations are more likely to implement strong security. Highly trusted sites or sites where a compromise in access would result in damage to your finances, reputation, and so on, should obviously use your strongest password. After all, you trust them with your most important information already. Sites like “SketchyOnlineDeals.com”, “AnonymousOnlineForum.net”, and “GroceryStore.com” have very little risk to causing personal damage and often don’t even rely on you giving them accurate information to use them. These sites are also much less likely to employ robust security since they don’t maintain sensitive or financial information. If the site doesn’t use technologies like SSL encryption (identified by the site starting with HTTPS in the link) you should not place great trust in that site. Sites with lower levels of security are easier targets for hackers who have learned of password reuse and know any logins harvested are likely to be reused on more important sites. They simply test the stolen information against other sites like banks and social media sites and are often highly successful. Chances are your logins are tied to an email account or username you reuse for all the sites you access. If a hacker compromises an account, they’re counting on the fact that you reuse both your username/email and the password they’ve just stolen! If you use the trust model, you have much less need to worry. You can start with high trust vs. low trust and determine later if it suits your needs or if you need more trust levels. The less frequently you use the same password, the much less you have to worry! As a quick note, the growing trend for online authentication relies on trusts between services such as Google and Facebook which ties your login from those services into other integrated websites and logins. For example, you can use your Facebook account to automatically log you into Groupon.com (which stores credit card information) without having to sign up. These services offer convenience in a sort of online single-sign-on or “SSO” which presents an entirely other secontinued on page 12 7 Consulting 101 By Rob Ashworth, Chief Information Security Officer Lessons Learned for Competitive RFP Responses Business is partly provided by the acceptance of new and continued delivery of task orders under our contracts, which actually brings in funds to pay for our services and profits for the owners. However, nothing happens in government consulting without the contract needed to place those “delivery” or “task” orders – we call the level of funding for this “ceiling.” Proposals, regardless of whether for a contract or a task order, most often, require a technical response and a price/cost response. The technical response may require understanding and approach to a Government need in combination with proof of corporate experience and oftentimes resumes for key positions, or positions thereof. The cost proposal normally is generated by the financial team of the firm, and most people never become involved. Some proposals are “blue birds” where we have limited knowledge or experience with the customer, but are confident in our abilities to propose a solid response. Even if we lose, a wellconceived response may paint the firm, and the team (prime and subcontractors), in a very positive light to the potential customer for future opportunities. An example is our competitive Bureau of Indian Affairs contract, a “blue bird” solicitation that we won. Normally it is the prime (lead) contractor’s responsibility to produce the lion’s share of the proposal development work. However, if we are the subcontractor, we may also be asked to write technical responses to portions of a request for proposals, perform reviews, and always – supply cost-related information. And, because we configure and reconfigure proposal writing teams, as opposed to utilizing a dedicated proposal development “machine”, it is important for everyone to work together and understand the firm’s guidelines, specifically in regards to who makes decisions for the team. For example, the task leader on a delivery order, the person who is solely responsible is the person who accepts the responsibility for the successful accomplishment of the task. This is the person in charge and who makes all of the decisions and in this case, it’s the Proposal Manager. Proposal decisions are made by the Proposal Manager, who is, (for the purposes of the proposal), 8 working fo r t h e executive sponsor. The Proposal M a n a g e r ’s direction/ decision g o e s … p e r i o d ( u n l e s s overturned by the executive sponsor, the president, or the president of Three Saints Bay) because it’s their responsibility. The right hand of a Proposal Manager is the Proposal Coordinator. This person is the “Master -at -Arms” that makes sure everyone who has a task (resumes, corporate experience write-ups, graphics development, technical response write-ups, pink team or blue team comments submission, etc. accomplishes that task. (Note: Barling Bay sometimes creates other colors that are more in-line with corporate colors). These review teams, if assigned, provide early outline/content comments and then draft comments. Next, reviews are provided by “red” and “gold” teams. Red teams review smooth drafts for content so that by the time their comments are incorporated. Gold teams (normally executives not otherwise in the proposal effort) approve without comment, and pass for final processing and submission. Within the corporate financial community cost reviews occur, ensuring that sub-contractor and or corporate figures are competitive, but yield an acceptable profit for our owners. Gold teams serve as the last review prior to submission. This team performs a final scan of the proposal for inconsistencies and then coordinates with the financial team to ensure that the figures submitted are in line with Government estimates. So, what lessons have we learned? It’s important to (1) Know and understand the proposal writing process at Barling Bay (2) Know how decisions are made and (3) Understand your role should you be tasked to join a proposal writing team.

It was the kick-off day to unite around a cause, The Trident United Way (TUW) Campaign. Volunteering to coordinate this effort is Shannon Miller for Barling Bay and Thomas Herring for Amee Bay. Uniting to organize the kick-off luncheon was Marcus Randall, Shannon Miller, Tracy Ard and Millie Henderson.

Shannon described the food as, “amazing…with hardly anything left over!” Steve Kienan, Interim Resource Development Division Director, Trident United Way addressed the group. He gave an overview of the organization and the services it provides, particularly as they impact families and individuals. Kienan said, “It only takes two things Kienan listens to question asked by Marcus Baxley, Barling Bay. (l to r), Nick Carden, Emily Atwood, Shannon Miller, David Coons, Debra Strable and Millie Henderson. 11 to have a day care center, a name and phone number…but, they might not be as qualified as you’d like”. He went on to explain that one of the services provided by the Trident United Way is child care resources and referral. Kienan also informed the group that TWU not only accepts monetary donations, but, welcomed volunteers who can donate time and knowledge. He ended his presentation by telling employees to feel free to contact him since his availability did not end with the kickoff event. “We want to participate in the Trident United Way (Campaign) because it is a community problem-solver working to strengthen the Lowcountry by focusing on the building blocks of a good life – education, income, and health”, said Shannon To learn more about the TUW visit: http:// www.tuw.org.
