Question
In your respective roles as consultants, IT people

Cybersecurity: Protecting Your Internal Systems
NISO Webinar • February 12, 2020
Question
What are some of the differences in building in
cybersecurity protections at an institutional level
vs building security at web-scale? Is that
nuance sufficiently recognized?

13. 13
NISO Webinar
Cybersecurity: Protecting Your Internal Systems
NISO Webinar • February 12, 2020
Question
From a practical standpoint, the information community likely
encounters issues of security arising from
• Backwards compatibility
• Need for cost controls.
• Prioritizing an alternate social good
• Introduction of smart technology (lightbulbs, etc.) into
buildings, etc.
How might stake-holders (content providers, platform providers,
librarians) be factoring those constraints into their thinking about
and collaboration on cybersecurity?

14. 14
NISO Webinar

the needs of cybersecurity?
What are the trade-offs?

protected systems? Is it a user issue, a provider
vendor issue, or an institutional issue?

16. 16
NISO Webinar
Cybersecurity: Protecting Your Internal Systems
NISO Webinar • February 12, 2020
Question
How might stakeholders adequately convey to users
the risks, the responsibilities, etc. associated with
protective measures surrounding a system?
How do we convey to users that security may be more
important than features?

NISO Webinar
Cybersecurity: Protecting Your Internal Systems
NISO Webinar • February 12, 2020
Question
Tweet emerging from a recent cybersecurity conference: “Cybersecurity policy is
a bottom up approach. Standardization is a strategic tool. We need to commit to
create standards that meet market needs, consumer needs and global needs.”
Bringing that down into the context of the information community,
whose/which/what set of needs are currently under threat? Whose needs
should be articulated and/or prioritized?
• How might we determine appropriate priorities?
• What things have the greatest potential for harm?
How can NISO help stakeholders collaborate to resolve the various existing
problems?
