Parallels to Agility!

4. Compass for Agility
• What do we see on the horizon?
What do we not see?
• What can we do? When?
• How do we know we made the
right decisions?
• How do we course-correct with
additional information?
• Goal: Just in time. Just enough.
Learn and adapt.

5. What? And Why?
• Framework for exploratory and emergent value discovery within
complex environments
• Expands organizational fluency and fluidity for problem-solving to help
address current as well as emerging challenges
• Pragmatic, personalized and adaptive
• Value realization is sustainable behavioral change
• Opt-in nature minimizes resistance to change
• Can start at any level and works at every level
• Scales by replicating; techniques enable alignment horizontally and vertically

6. Aligned Outcomes
1. What Could Be? Possible outcomes
and impact on organization
2. Reality Check: Readiness to pursue
and realize vision?
3. Understand organizational capacity,
then prioritize realistically
4. Getting to Done with Lean-Agile
best practices
5. Learn Better. Be Better

7. DNA of Cybersecurity
• Cybersecurity involves people & processes = culture
• Effective response strategies must be ingrained in organizational culture as
indicated by behavior at all levels
• Instill mindset of sense & response, then provide techniques
• Empower people to apply their expertise
• Visibility  Decision Making  Validate  Improve
• Provide skills to solve not just today’s challenges but to also address tomorrow’s
threats and opportunities

8. Takeaways
• Leverage the mindset, principles and practices of agility to design and deliver
cybersecurity strategy
• Compass for Agility provides a pragmatic framework for organizations to realize
an adaptive cybersecurity strategy by leveraging human potential
• Empower all individuals in an organization to be aware, to adapt and to learn
• Enable alignment so that efforts are amplified for shared purpose, not at cross-
purposes
• Recognize risk is both a threat and an opportunity – a true double-edged sword
