The chief security officer (CSO) is responsible for an organization's entire security posture, both physical and digital. Originally, the CSO title referred to the head of IT security, but it now encompasses leadership of corporate security functions like physical security, safety, and assets. There is debate around combining all security under one role, as technology integrates into physical security tools and a holistic approach could lower costs, but CSOs face challenges overcoming organizational barriers. The CSO will oversee security efforts across multiple departments and groups to identify initiatives and standards.

Avalanches in Afghanistan
Avalanches pose a significant risk in Afghanistan, killing over 300 people in 2015 alone. The document outlines avalanche risks, including exposure of over 2 million people and $4 billion in assets. It reviews existing frameworks for disaster management but finds they have not adequately addressed avalanches. Immediate government responses included establishing an avalanche directorate and training, but long-term recommendations include developing an avalanche management strategy, improving forecasting capacity, and investing in preventive and protective infrastructure like retention structures. Both passive measures like forecasting and active controls like prevention forests are suggested, though the feasibility of different options requires further analysis.

Disaster management
This document provides information about disaster management including definitions of disasters, what disaster management involves, types of disasters, factors affecting disasters, and the phases of disaster management. It defines disasters as events that cause damage and loss of life on a large scale. Disaster management deals with preparedness, response, and rehabilitation for both natural disasters like floods, earthquakes, and cyclones as well as man-made disasters. The phases of disaster management include preparedness before a disaster, response during a disaster, and rehabilitation after a disaster. Major factors that influence disasters are their predictability, speed of onset, and duration and scope of impacts.
Post damage assessment
The document provides guidelines for post-disaster damage assessment of buildings. It discusses conducting rapid evaluations immediately following a disaster to assess safety and determine if buildings can be reoccupied. Buildings are given ratings of inspected, limited entry/restricted use, or unsafe based on the damage observed. It also discusses performing more detailed evaluations later to better understand repair and retrofitting needs, estimate costs, and determine compensation. The guidelines provide forms for documentation and classify different levels of damage for masonry and concrete buildings.
The Economics of Cyber Security
This document outlines an economic framework for cybersecurity investment. It discusses:
- Implementing baseline security controls can address 80% of threats at low cost while improving availability. However, cultural resistance exists to prioritizing "hygiene."
- A framework is proposed with four levels based on mission criticality and threat sophistication. It recommends investing first in baseline controls, then in targeted advanced controls for critical functions facing sophisticated threats.
- Additional principles are outlined for tailoring investments to threats and accepting certain risks. Portfolio approaches are suggested to structure investments across infrastructure, back office systems, and unique mission capabilities.
Unit1f global disaster trends
Global trends show that reported natural disasters have significantly risen since the 1960s due to factors like population growth, urbanization, and climate change. Some hazards like floods and wind storms show clearer increasing trends, while others like earthquakes are more stable. Though death tolls from disasters are falling due to better disaster management, economic costs and numbers of people affected continue to rise as populations grow in hazardous areas. Reducing vulnerability and building resilience is an ongoing challenge.

Cyber Security: The Strategic View
Cyber Security: The Strategic View
By: Kah-Kin Ho, Head of Cyber Security Business Development Threat Response, Intelligence and Development (TRIAD)
This session begins by giving an overview of how Cisco sees the challenges and opportunities of cyber security for the Government which include areas such as recent development on applicability of International Law to Cyber conflict, the evolving role of the Government as the legitimate security provider, Public-Private Partnership issues, and the evolving technical, social and political threat landscape. Cisco recognizes that cyber security begins at the policy level and translates through to the operational and system level. We will discuss why an intelligence-led network-centric approach that focuses on enforcing policy, enhancing situational awareness, and providing the insight necessary to tackle threats before they impact information and infrastructure assets is key to Cyber Security.
1. security management practices
This document discusses security management practices, with a focus on information security management. It covers topics such as information classification, security policies, roles and responsibilities, risk management, and security awareness training. Specifically, it provides details on establishing an information classification process, including identifying information assets, analyzing risks, defining classifications, roles for information owners and custodians, and guidelines for classifying information and applications.
Intelligence and counter terrorism
Intelligence as a set of permanent institutions dates back only to the second half of the nineteenth century. But as information and news - in the dictionary meaning used in English since the middle of the fifteenth century, of 'knowledge as to events, communicated by or obtained from another, especially military' - it has always been collected as part of warfare
For a military, it can mean knowledge of the enemy and can distinguish between to defeat and to lose because information means knowledge and knowledge are power. Analysts see it as a package of information pending for clarification, and policymakers consider they should be informed so that they can meet the needs, stated or understood.
Intelligence gathers under the same umbrella the informational component of national security, internal and external policies, as well as certain aspects of international security in the case of global cross-entities (states, organizations).
This presentation is built up by gathering information from different references (Book, Articles, and Newspapers) by the author.

" The Invisible Person ... the Security Architect "
This document is a draft paper by Bill Ross discussing the role of a security architect. It notes that while security architecture is discussed frequently, there is no consistent definition or standards for what a security architect does. Job descriptions for security architects vary widely and often confuse it with roles like security engineer or CISO. The document proposes a definition of a security architect as someone with both technical security skills and business experience who can design a comprehensive security program aligned with business needs. It provides an example job description and analyzes one to show how it focuses more on specific technologies than an overall security architecture.
Unit 1 Information Security.docx
Information security is the practice of securing information from unauthorized access, disruption, or modification. It involves implementing tools and strategies to protect personal and organizational data. The key principles of information security are confidentiality, integrity, and availability, known as the CIA triad. Technical, organizational, human, and physical measures work together to safeguard information through methods like access controls, encryption, firewalls, security policies, and employee training. The overall goal of information security is to protect sensitive data from threats while ensuring it remains available to authorized users.
An information security governance framework
This document discusses information security governance frameworks. It evaluates four existing approaches: ISO 17799, PROTECT, the Capability Maturity Model, and the Information Security Architecture. Based on the components of these approaches, the document compiles a comprehensive list of information security components. It then uses these components to construct a new Information Security Governance Framework, which considers technical, procedural, and human behavioral components to holistically govern information security and cultivate an appropriate security culture.
The Role of Information Security Policy
The document discusses the importance of information security policies and standards in organizations. It explains that while technical defenses are increasingly sophisticated, the human element remains the biggest security vulnerability. To address this, organizations should develop clear, high-level security policies set by management along with more detailed standards to implement the policies. Additionally, extensive training is needed to educate employees about security risks and policies, as social engineering is easily exploited. The human side of security is often overlooked despite being the weak point, so policies and standards help guide secure behavior while training raises awareness of threats.

The field is growing due to increased demand to protect against cyber threats like ransomware, phishing, and identity theft.
Finding a strategic voice
The document summarizes the findings of a study conducted by IBM's Center for Applied Insights that interviewed 138 security leaders from different industries and countries. It found that security organizations can be categorized into three groups: Influencers, Protectors, and Responders based on their self-assessment of security maturity and preparedness. Influencers have the most strategic approach, seeing security as a business priority. They are more likely to have a dedicated CISO, security budget, and measure progress. The study shows that Influencers' integrated, risk-based approach can serve as a model for other organizations looking to improve their security posture and leadership.
Insights from the IBM Chief Information Security Officer Assessment
To obtain a global snapshot of security leaders’ strategies and approaches, the IBM Center for Applied Insights conducted double-blind interviews with 138 security leaders – the IT and line-of-business executives responsible for information security in their enterprises. Some of these leaders carried the title of Chief Information Security Officer (CISO), but given the diversity of organizational structures, many did not. The Center supplemented this quantitative research through in-depth conversations with 25 information security leaders.
Participation spanned a broad range of industries and seven different countries. Nearly 20 percent of the respondents lead information security in enterprises with more than 10,000 employees; 55 percent are in enterprises with 1,000 to 9,999 employees.
Information Security Governance at Board and Executive Level
Information security governance is a relative new area it doesn't always receive the required attention such as business support, management support and eventually the necessary budgets to keep Mr Evil out. The reasons why information security is not receiving the required attention are plenty, but a main issue that it is failing to get on the agenda could be that the upper levels of an organisational structure do not receive the information required to get their attention, or that companies are risk taking instead of risk averse or it seems impossible to identify value for the business. Security is about avoiding something, where a new application is about adding functionality in order to increase efficiency, production etc… Unfortunately, security is still seen as a business disabler.
Information Security Management System: Emerging Issues and Prospect
This document discusses information security management systems (ISMS). It begins by defining ISMS as a collection of policies related to information technology risks and information security management.

Cybersecurity - Whose responsibility is it?
Who is responsible for security in the enterprise? Every company takes a different approach, but in many cases, accountability and authority do not reside in the same role. When this happens, it’s hard to tell who is responsible for securing digital assets. No wonder executives are worried.
Contrast & Compare & Contrast Information Security Roles
Information security roles and responsibilities are important to clearly define within an organization. The key roles include the Chief Information Security Officer (CISO), Information Systems Security Officer (ISSO), Information Security Auditors, Data Owners, Data Custodians, and Data Users. The CISO leads the information security department and is responsible for the organization's security controls. The ISSO enforces compliance requirements. Information security auditors assess whether security objectives and controls are effective. Data owners determine access levels while data custodians operate systems for data owners. All employees share responsibility for security. Information security business units include the Security Operations Center, Development and Operations, and Incident Response teams like Computer Emergency Response Teams.

Discussion 1
Recommend three countermeasures that could enhance the information security measures of an enterprise. Justify your recommendations.
1. Upon extensive review of existing IT EBK and what new measures needed to be taken, Homeland Security came to the conclusion that a comprehensive approach information security including the steps of manage, design, implement, and evaluate would best serve to safeguard against future threats. Manage: calls for the oversight of security programs to come from the highest levels of chains of command with constant focus on “ensuring its currency with changing risk and threat” (2007, p. 9). Design: calls for analyzing a program to assess what types of “procedures and processes” will best direct its successful execution. Implement: refers to how programs and policies are instituted within the company. Evaluate: this final step calls for a final critique of the new program or policy’s successful ability to [achieve] its purpose (2007, p. 9).
2. Homeland Security also recommended a “Competency and Functional Framework for IT Workplace Development” that placed strong emphasis on a clear chain of command and communication with clear job titles and IT employee roles being placed into a group of Executive, Functional or Corollary employees (2007, p. 17).
3. The report stressed the primary role of “the IT Security Compliance Professional is . . . overseeing, evaluating, and supporting compliance issues pertinent to the organization” (Homeland Security, 2007, p.16). Thus, the report logically concluded that IT professionals must know and be able to properly define terms such as evaluation, compliance and assessment in order to properly perform their duties (p. 14).
Propose three cybersecurity benefits that could be derived from the development of a strategic governance process. Select the benefit you find most important and explain why.
The National Computing Centre points out that there are numerous benefits to having a rigorous strategic governance process in place. Among them, increased transparency and accountability which leads to an “improved transparency of IT costs, IT process, [and] IT portfolio (2005, p. 6). This increased transparency and accountability also leads to an “improved understanding of overall IT costs and their input to ROI cases” which in turn often brings about “an increased return on investment/stakeholder value” (p. 6). Finally, the authors point to the fact that with increased transparency comes increased accountability and companies avoid “unnecessary expenditures” (p. 7).
Discussion 2
Categorize the roles described by the Information Technology Security Essential Body of Knowledge (EBK), in terms of executive, functional, and corollary competencies. Select two of these roles that you believe enhance the security countermeasures of an organization the most and justify your response.
As mentioned previously, Homeland Security’s 2007 report emphasized the importance of properly .

Both physical and digital security are important parts of an organization's complete security solution.
How to Teach Soft Skills
Soft skills are personal attributes that enhance interactions, job performance, and career prospects, unlike hard skills which are specific abilities. Many young workers lack soft skills and will change careers multiple times, requiring lifelong employability. Teaching soft skills in youth, education systems, the workforce, and to employers can help close this skills gap and prepare individuals for constant career changes. Soft skills training may involve teaching values that are broadly applicable qualities.
Campus Security
The constituencies of colleges and universities are changing, with new populations arriving on campus and schools competing for fewer students. As traditional student demographics change, schools must sustain diverse cultures and adapt.
This has a significant impact on campus security. In the past, security officers reacted to risks, but now they are an integral part of proactively creating a safe environment and promoting safety. Security officers now collaborate to promote the school's culture rather than working behind the scenes.
Today's security officers receive continual training to handle major issues like drug and alcohol abuse, signs of abuse, cultural diversity, and workplace violence. Their role is to understand and support the campus environment through observation, protection and championing students.

Chief Security Officer

- 2. Chief Security Officer Chief Security Officer means what it sounds like: The CSO is the executive responsible for the organization's entire security posture, both physical and digital.
- 3. Information Technology The title Chief Security Officer (CSO) was first used principally inside the information technology function to designate the person responsible for IT security. At many companies, the term CSO is still used in this way. CISO, for Chief Information Security Officer, is perhaps a more accurate description of this position, and today the CISO title is becoming more prevalent for leaders with an exclusive info security focus.
- 4. Leader of the “Corporate Security" The CSO title is also used at some companies to describe the leader of the "corporate security" function, which includes the physical security and safety of employees, facilities and assets. More commonly, this person holds a title such as Vice President or Director of Corporate Security. Historically, corporate security and information security have been handled by separate (and sometimes feuding) departments.
- 5. Forms of Security The merging all forms of security under a single organizational umbrella has been a controversial approach at times. At a tactical level, technology is being infused into physical security tools, which are increasingly database-driven and network-delivered. At a practical level, CSOs say a holistically managed security function can deliver better security at lower cost. On the other hand, CSOs without a broad skill base can find it challenging to overcome organizational inertia and politics to deliver on that vision.
- 6. CSO Responsibility The CSO will oversee and coordinate security efforts across the company, including information technology, human resources, communications, legal, facilities management and other groups, and will identify security initiatives and standards. The candidate's direct reports will include the chief information security officer and the director of corporate security and safety.
