Practical Measures for Measuring SecurityChris Mullins
Security is often a frustrating field for business and IT decision makers. It can be difficult to quantify, difficult to get visibility, and it’s difficult to know when you have “enough”. Do you really need that latest threat feed subscription or state of the art malware protection device? Do you need to add another security analyst to your team? And if so, how can you understand, in business terms, the value these investments bring to the business? This session will explore practical methods for the application of metrics in security to support business decision making, and provide a framework to implement straightforward security metrics, whether inside your wall or at a service provider.

Risk Management & Information Security Management SystemsIT-Toolkits.org
Risk Management and Risk Assessment are major components of Information Security Management (ISM). Although they are widely known, a wide range of definitions of Risk Management and Risk Assessment are found in the relevant literature [ISO13335-2], [NIST], [ENISA Regulation]. Here a consolidated view of Risk Management and Risk Assessment is presented. For the sake of this discussion, two approaches to presenting Risk Management and Risk Assessment, mainly based on OCTAVE [OCTAVE] and ISO 13335-2 [ISO13335-2] will be considered. Nevertheless, when necessary, structural elements that emanate from other perceptions of Risk Management and Risk Assessment are also used (e.g. consideration of Risk Management and Risk Assessment as counterparts of Information Security Management System, as parts of wider operational processes, etc. [WG-Deliverable 3], [Ricciuto]).
Risk Management Strategy is an approach to dealing with global risks focused to anticipate the events, designing and implementing procedures to minimize the occurrence of the event or its impact if it occurs.
In era of globalization and interconnected world the task to protect the company from global risks became complicated. Any kind of internally or externally risk can cause distortion to its usual business activities. The source of potential risk can be human being, technology failure, sabotage or Mother Nature. All the risks must be considered individually since they overlap to a large degree. Then our Global Risk Management consulting focuses on: terrorism, internal sabotage, external espionage, technology failure.
Information security is often misunderstood, undervalued and often tackled as an afterthought. This presentation was given in 2014 during an ISACA educational event.

IT Risk Management & Leadership 30 March - 02 April 2014 Dubai UAE360 BSI
Are you effectively securing your organization’s IT systems that store, process, or transmit organizational information?
Is your IT risk management plan tailored to the specific risk profile of your business and being coordinated across all functional and business units?
With the release of IT Governance frameworks, requirements for risk management and new international standards entering the market, the pressure is mounting to ensure that all your IT risks are identified and the necessary action is taken – be this to mitigate them, accept or ignore them. So, how safe is your IT system? What are the risks that your organization is being exposed to?
The solution to this challenge is to establish an effective risk management process that protects the organization, not just its IT assets, and provides it with the ability to perform its mission.
Risk management is the process of identifying and assessing risk and taking preventive measures to reduce it to an acceptable level. It is critical that you develop an effective risk management program that assesses and mitigates risks within your IT systems and better manages these IT-related mission risks.

Introduction to IT compliance program and Discuss the challenges IT .pdfSALES97
Introduction to IT compliance program and Discuss the challenges IT divisions face in achieving
regulatory compliance? Discuss detailed plan which includes initiating, planning, developing and
implementation of IT compliance?
Solution
Answer:
IT compliance program
Compliance is either a condition of being as per built up rules or determinations, or the way
toward winding up so. Programming, for instance, might be produced in Compliance with details
made by a principles body, and after that sent by client associations in Compliance with a
merchant\'s permitting assertion. The meaning of Compliance can likewise include endeavors to
guarantee that associations are maintaining both industry directions and government enactment.
Duty
Duty by the overseeing body and senior administration to compelling Compliance that pervades
the entire association.
The Compliance approach is adjusted to the association\'s system and business targets, and is
supported by the overseeing body.
Suitable assets are assigned to create, execute, keep up and enhance the Compliance program.
The overseeing body and senior administration embrace the targets and technique of the
Compliance program.
Compliance commitments are recognized and evaluated.
Execution
Obligation regarding Compliance results is obviously explained and doled out.
Fitness and preparing needs are distinguished and routed to empower representatives to satisfy
their Compliance commitments.
Practices that make and bolster Compliance programs are supported, and practices that bargain
Compliance are not endured.
Controls are set up to deal with the distinguished Compliance commitments and accomplish
wanted practices.
Observing and estimating
Execution of the Compliance program is observed, estimated and written about.
• Improving IT framework with the goal that more successive information is accessible
for certain hazard zones (credit hazard and liquidity chance)
• Process upgrades to foundation in order to lessen dependence on manual workarounds
and to mechanize collections
• Simplifying current IT engineering and information streams crosswise over divisions
and legitimate substances to streamline the total procedure and to empower snappy
conglomeration of hazard information amid times of pressure
• Ensuring that predictable and coordinated information scientific classifications and
lexicons exist at the gathering level, and all through the association
• Identifying and characterizing \"information proprietors\" to enhance responsibility.
Compliance is a common business concern, incompletely as a result of a regularly expanding
number of directions that expect organizations to be cautious about keeping up a full
comprehension of their administrative Compliance prerequisites. Some conspicuous controls,
guidelines and enactment.
As directions and different rules have progressively turned into a worry of corporate
administration, organizations are turning all the more every now and again to specific

Strategic Essentials for Effective Incident Response Planning.pptxshortarmssolution
In today's digital world, the importance of Incident Response Planning (IRP) cannot be overstated. IRP is a structured approach to address and manage the aftermath of a security breach or cyber attack. It aims to handle the situation to limit damage and reduce recovery time and costs. An effective IRP is crucial for any organization, regardless of size, to ensure business continuity and maintain customer trust.
In an increasingly digital world, where businesses rely heavily on interconnected systems and data flows, the importance of robust cybersecurity measures cannot be overstated. One crucial aspect of safeguarding your digital assets is vulnerability management. In this blog post, we'll explore what vulnerability management is, why it matters, and how to establish an effective vulnerability management program for your organization.
CISO, or Chief Information Security Officer, is an established top-level executive position in the industry, similar to CEO or CTO. CISO is the highest-level executive in an organization charged with information security. With the increasing awareness of digital information as an asset in the industry at large, the demand for CISOs across organizations is on a rise. The CISOs focus on the core areas pertaining to information security in an enterprise and lead the IS program.

2. Information security program
management
Information security program
management is the discipline of
designing, implementing and maturing
security practices to protect critical
business processes and IT assets across
the enterprise.
The future of enterprises depends on
the quality of security and risk
management—information,
information systems and technologies
may bring about numerous benefits to
any organization; however, they can
also become its main source of
vulnerability if they are not managed
efficiently.
3. Information Security Management System
Its objectives, among others, are to:
• Protect the organization and its information assets by keeping security at a
desired level
• Manage risks by identifying assets, discovering threats and estimating the
risk
• Provide direction for security by documenting security policies, procedures,
etc.
• Plan and justify budgets and resources related to security
• Assess effectiveness of the implemented controls by using metrics and
indicators.
4. Ensure You have C-
Suite support
• Security culture and support
for security comes from the
top
• It is important to ensure a
common understanding of the
threats
• How do you find out whether
you have support? Ask!
5. Align to Business Strategy
• Determine aims to
achieve during a defined
period
• Influenced, to a great
deal, by the organization’s
business strategy. Align
with organization’s vision,
mission, goals, strategy.
6. Environmental
Trends
• Trends in the economic,
business, market, regulatory,
political and technology
environments can have a great
impact on the security risk
facing the enterprise.
• Widespread cyber threats to
businesses include:
Spam; phishing emails; viruses;
Trojans; spyware; malware;
ransomware; rootkits; drive-by
downloads; password decryption;
denial-of-service (DoS) attack;
out-of-date, unpatched software
7. Security Assessment
Assess the overall effectiveness
and efficiency of security in the
company by performing:
- Vulnerability assessments and
penetration tests to assess the
technical infrastructure
- Risk assessments to balance the
investment on controls
appropriate to the actual risks
- Internal and external audit
results to assess the effectiveness
of policy and controls compliance
and more
8. Organisation’s Risk Appetite
• The consequence and likelihood of the risk
occurring should determine the level of
acceptable risk
• management can prioritize resources for
taking action based on the appetite it has set
Consider risk appetite in these areas:
• Asset management.
• Access control.
• Cryptography.
• Physical and environmental security.
• Operations security.
• Communications security.
• System acquisition development and maintenance.
• Supplier relationships.
• Information security incident management.
• Business continuity management
9. Gap Analysis
• Consists of mapping the
current state against the
vision statement,
identifying the
• gaps between the two
states in order to derive
the actions and projects
required to close these
gaps.
10. Prioritization
Almost no organization will have the
resources required to execute on all of
the identified security projects and
activities. Prioritization criteria include
the following:
- The level of risk reduction potentially
achieved by a given project/activity
- The resources (skills, staff and systems)
required
- The financial cost
- The "time to value", the period
between the initial investment and the
point at which the project will start
accruing value to the organization.
11. Approval
• The final step is to obtain
executive approval and budget.
• The strategy should be
communicated using a written
report and an executive
presentation clearly
• describing the current state, the
desired state, and how the
projects with their respective
phases and milestones will help
to achieve the desired state.
12. Review & Reporting
• Use Metrics that Matter -
False Positive Reporting, incident
response volumes, Fully Revealed
Incidents Rate, Percentage Of
Security Incidents Detected By An
Automated Control
• Measure Performance, Not
Activity
• Measure to Objectives
• Progress should be
reported to the Upper
Management on a regular
basis.
13. Security Awareness
Security education is an important component
of any organization's information security
program.
If employees don't know their security
responsibilities they cannot be depended
upon to do their part
14.
15. Security Programs Success
Security programs will be successful when they are:
Supported by executive
Aligned with organisational goals
Risk-based, aligned with business and risk appetite
Standards-based, evolve over time
Capture present and target state accurately
Plans are realistic and actionable
Resourced effectively
Focused on building security in from the ground up
Measured/monitored
Continuous improvement
Communicated appropriately
Executed on
16. Digital strategic initiatives
• Business innovation means extending
beyond the enterprise. Organizations
leverage information technology to
power their innovation efforts, while
battling mounting regulation and
escalating threats to information.
Without the right security strategy,
business can be stifled or put the
organization at great risk.
• Enter new markets, launch new
products or services, create new
business models, establish new
channels or partnerships, or achieve
operational transformation.
• Need to work on business problems,
not compliance issues
