Introduction

CASES promotes information security through the use of behavioral, organizational and technical measures. Depending on its size and its security needs, organizations must react in the most appropriate manner. Adopting good practices, taking the necessary measures and adjusting them proportionally: all this is part of the process to ensure information security. Most of all, it depends on performing a risk analysis on a regular basis.

Although the profitability of the risk analysis approach is guaranteed, the investment represented by this approach in terms of the required cost and expertise is a barrier for many companies, especially SMEs.

To remedy this situation and allow all organizations, both large and small, to benefit from the advantages that a risk analysis offers, CASES has developed an optimised risk analysis method: MONARC (Method for an Optimised aNAlysis of Risks by CASES), allowing precise and repeatable risk management.

The advantage of MONARC lies in the capitalisation of risk analyses already performed in similar business contexts: the same vulnerabilities regularly appear in many businesses, as they face the same threats and generate similar risks. Most companies have servers, printers, a fleet of smartphones, Wi-Fi antennas, etc. therefore the vulnerabilities and threats are the same. It is therefore sufficient to generalise risk scenarios for these assets (also called objects) by context and/or business.

Installation

PHP & MySQL

Install PHP (version 7.0 recommended) with extensions : xml, mbstring, mysql, zip, unzip, mcrypt, intl, gettext, imagick (extension php) In php.ini, set upload_max_filesize to 200Mo Install Apache (or Nginx) and enable mods : rewrite, ssl (a2enmod)

Install MySQL (version 5.7 recommended) or MariaDb equivalent

Using Composer (recommended)

Alternately, clone the repository and manually invoke composer using the shipped composer.phar:

cd my/project/dir
git clone https://github.com/CASES-LU/MonarcAppFO.git ./monarc   
cd monarc
php composer.phar self-update
php composer.phar install -o

(The self-update directive is to ensure you have an up-to-date composer.phar available.)

Databases

Create 2 databases:

CREATE DATABASE monarc_cli DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8 DEFAULT COLLATE utf8_general_ci;
CREATE DATABASE monarc_common DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8 DEFAULT COLLATE utf8_general_ci;

Change Sql Mode in my.cnf:

[mysqld]
sql-mode = MYSQL40

There is 2 databases:

• monarc_common contains models and data created by CASES.
• monarc_cli contains all client risk analyses. Each analysis is based on CASES model of monarc_common

Symbolic links

The project is split into 2 parts :

• an Api in charge of retrieving data
• an interface which displays data

The Api is not direct modules of the project but libraries. You must create modules with symbolic links to libraries

Create 2 symbolic links in root project directory:

mkdir module
cd module
ln -s ./../vendor/monarc/core MonarcCore;
ln -s ./../vendor/monarc/frontoffice MonarcFO;

There are 2 parts:

• one only for front office
• one common for front office and back office (private project)

It is developed with zend framework 2

Interfaces

Repository for angular at project root:

mkdir node_modules
cd node_modules
git clone https://github.com/CASES-LU/ng-client.git ng_client
git clone https://github.com/CASES-LU/ng-anr.git ng_anr    

There is 2 parts:

• one only for front office (ng_client)
• one common for front office and back office (private project) (ng_anr)

It is developed with angular framework version 1

Web Server Setup

PHP CLI Server

The simplest way to get started if you are using PHP 5.4 or above is to start the internal PHP cli-server in the root directory:

php -S 0.0.0.0:8080 -t public/ public/index.php

This will start the cli-server on port 8080, and bind it to all network interfaces.

**Note: ** The built-in CLI server is for development only.

Apache Setup

To setup apache, setup a virtual host to point to the public/ directory of the project and you should be ready to go! It should look something like below:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName monarc.localhost
    DocumentRoot /path/to/monarc/public
    SetEnv APPLICATION_ENV "development"
    <Directory /path/to/monarc/public>
        DirectoryIndex index.php
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Database connection

Create file config/autoload/local.php:

return array(
    'doctrine' => array(
        'connection' => array(
            'orm_default' => array(
                'params' => array(
                    'host' => 'host',
                    'user' => 'user',
                    'password' => 'password',
                    'dbname' => 'monarc_common',
                ),
            ),
            'orm_cli' => array(
                'params' => array(
                    'host' => 'host',
                    'user' => 'user',
                    'password' => 'password',
                    'dbname' => 'monarc_cli',
                ),
            ),
        ),
    ),
);

Configuration

Create file configuration

sudo cp ./config/autoload/local.php.dist ./config/autoload/local.php

Update connection information to local.php and global.php

Configuration files are stored in cache. If yours changes have not been considered, empty cache by deleting file in /data/cache

Install Grunt

sudo apt-get install nodejs
sudo apt-get install npm
sudo npm install -g grunt-cli

Only for linux systems:

sudo ln -s /usr/bin/nodejs /usr/bin/node (only linux)

Update project

Play script (mandatory from the root of the project)(pull and migrations):

sudo /bin/bash ./scripts/update-all.sh

This shell script uses others shell scripts. You may need to change the access rights of those scripts.

Create Initial User and Client

Modify email and password (firstname or lastname) of first user in ./module/MonarcFO/migrations/seeds/adminUserInit.php

If you have a mail server, you can keep default password and click on "Password forgotten ?" after user creation.

Create first user:

php ./vendor/robmorgan/phinx/bin/phinx seed:run -c ./module/MonarcFO/migrations/phinx.php

Data Model

monarc_cli

monarc_common
