This template is useful in presenting cybersecurity plan to higher authority. Cybersecurity officer will present it to top level management. It will help in determining the roles and responsibilities of senior management and executives who are responsible in handling risks. Firm will also optimize its cybersecurity risk framework. Firm will assess the current concerns that are impeding cybersecurity in terms of increase in cybercrimes, data breach and exposure and amount spent on settlements. It will also analyze firm its current cybersecurity framework. Firm will categorize various risk and will assess them on parameters such as risk likelihood and severity. The IT department will also improve their incident handling mechanism. Cybersecurity contingency plan will be initiated by firm. In this plan, firm will build an alternate site for backup maintenance. Backup site selection will be done by keeping certain parameters into consideration such as cost for implementation, duration, location, etc. The other plan essentials include business impact assessment, vital record maintenance, recovery task list maintenance, etc. The template also includes information regarding the role of personnel in terms of role and responsibilities of line managers, senior managers and executives in risk management. It also includes information related to the role of top management in ensuring effective information security governance. The information regarding the budget required for the cybersecurity plan implementation is also provided with staff training cost. https://bit.ly/3iSww5L
According to the HP sponsored1 2014 Executive Breach Preparedness Research Report, more than 70 percent of executives think that their organization only partially understands the information risks they’re exposed to as a result of a breach. To add to that, less than half of c-suite and board-level executives are kept informed about the breach response process.
This report also found that business leadership knows that their involvement in data breach incident response is important – but they don’t believe, generally, that they are actually accountable for data breaches. In fact, only 45% stated that they think they are accountable for data breaches in their organization.

Since a disaster is more a matter of “when” and not “if,” it’s critical to have a plan in place to ensure a rapid recovery. Whether it’s a natural cataclysm or a human-made catastrophe, having actionable, tested steps in place to recover could mean the difference between a brief outage and weeks of downtime.
During session 2, we covered disaster recovery planning. Key takeaways included:
- Knowing the key components to include in a plan
- Understanding Recovery Time Objective (RTO) and Recovery Point Objective (RPO)
- Differentiating between disaster recovery, business continuity, and incident response plans

Pragmatic CyberSecurity and Risk ReductionBruce Hafner
At ClearArmor, we maintain that a fully interconnected approach to Risk Management, CyberSecurity, Audit, Compliance, and Governance is the best approach. For many organization, they may not be ready for that journey. In those cases, a pragmatic approach can significantly improve their risk reduction and CyberSecurity postures by building momentum.
Your business faces risks on multiple fronts, so risk management should be a strategic priority. Identifying and addressing risks helps your business run smoothly, and keeps you focused on pursuing your business objectives. We discuss strategies to mitigate your IT threats, explore insurance options and assess your internal control needs.
Pinpointing the source and scope of data theft is often hard to quantify, especially since your largest internal threat may actually be one of your most loyal employees. This presentation presents the findings of the first-ever global insider threat study that catalogs common practices used by leading organizations across numerous verticals. This presentation will define the insider threat, quantify the prevalence of the problem, and uncover controls that have proven most effective at minimizing the risk of insider threats.

This session covers auditing contingency planning
Banks and other financial services firms need to recognize the threats of cyber risk in a different way. Many have put in place thick walls to protect themselves. But firms cannot be protected at all times from a cyber-related incident. So putting in place structures, technologies and processes to ensure resilience—or fast recovery—is as much or more important than simply putting more locks on the doors or building stronger walls.

Avoiding Audit Fatigue: Achieving Compliance In A Multi-compliance World In Nine Steps
Gartner Security/Risk Management Conference
July 2010
It's common for information security managers to be held responsible for failed audits where they had little control or influence in the rest of the organization. This presentation provides nine steps that information security managers can use to break the compliance blame cycle and build an information security program that more effectively mitigates security risk. By successfully executing these steps, the information security manager will no longer continually react to and
manage the audit preparation crisis du jour. Instead, the information security manager will institute and rely upon regular, defined activities to complete the heavy lifting of preparing for a successful audit long before the audit occurs.
This session also describes how IT security managers can achieve alignment among all stakeholders so that information security and compliance activities become integrated into daily business operations.
Completing the nine steps in this presentation requires business stakeholders, IT management, and information security management to all mutually support the same goal. This session describes how to gain this alignment and defines the various compliance roles so that information

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

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

The Art of the Pitch: WordPress Relationships and SalesLaura Byrne
Clients don’t know what they don’t know. What web solutions are right for them? How does WordPress come into the picture? How do you make sure you understand scope and timeline? What do you do if sometime changes?
All these questions and more will be explored as we talk about matching clients’ needs with what your agency offers without pulling teeth or pulling your hair out. Practical tips, and strategies for successful relationship building that leads to closing the deal.
2. Speaking with you today
Vikas Bhatia – CEO & ERA
Vikas is the founder, CEO and Executive Risk Adviser at Kalki. He has 18+ years’ experience,
obtained serving local, regional & global clients in the outsourcing, consulting, and regulatory
domains, enabling him to enhance any organizations Information Security Management
System (ISMS).
He is a Certified Chief Information Security Officer (C|CISO), Certified Information Systems
Security Professional (CISSP), and Certified Information Privacy Professional (CIPP).
6. Finding 1: It took the Target breach to get the board’s
attention.
What brings your attention to cybersecurity? What
influences the way you feel about cybersecurity?
8. Finding 2: Board members may be overly confident about
the effectiveness of their cybersecurity governance
practices and often rate the effectiveness of these
programs much higher than IT security professionals do.
Lets talk about how you feel about this finding and how
this relates to you and your role within VFCU.
10. Finding 3: Board members admit their knowledge about
cybersecurity is limited.
How can we work to improve your understanding of
cybersecurity issues and risk levels?
13. Finding 4: Board members may not be receiving
information and briefings about cyber attacks and data
breaches affecting their organization.
Do you feel you are receiving enough information on
data security and data breaches to help grow your
knowledge and understanding of cyber threats?
16. Finding 5: IT security professionals are skeptical of their
board’s understanding about cybersecurity risks.
Technology and strategic management often have trouble
seeing eye-to-eye on cybersecurity readiness and needs.
How can we get everyone speaking the same language?

19. What’s important to Credit Unions?
Serving the member
Reputation Service Stability Trust
Innovation Engagement Dedication
Value Growth
20. Strategic Drivers
A Credit Union’s revenue is
driven by the trust of its
members.
The loss of even a small
percentage of membership
due to loss of trust would
result in significant financial
loss.
Revenue
The day-to-day operations of
branches is vital. Members
expect 24x7 access to funds
and rely on branches to be
operational.
Operational downtime incurs
significant costs including
productivity costs, costs of
restoration of service or
funds and costs due to lost
membership.
Operations
Credit Unions pride
themselves on their
reputation among members
and rely on that reputation
to retain and grow their
membership.
The impact of a breach on
that reputation would be
detrimental. A focus on
SecurITy will provides a key
differentiator to improve
member trust and build
reputation.
Reputation
The NCUA compliance
framework was designed in
2006, provides very little
guidance and represents a
minimum standard.
Outdated compliance
standards do not keep pace
with current threats and are
not sufficient to protect
member data.
Compliance
Mission: to best serve members.
22. Do we walk the walk?
Ranking
Area 1 2 3 4
Reputation 6 2 3 1
Revenue 1 1 2 8
Operations 2 5 4 1
Compliance 4 4 3 1
Sample priority ranking by a previous Credit Union client. Does this look familiar?
An over-focus on compliance may not support the objective of serving the member community.

26. How are we measuring what we’re doing?
The Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) will be used to measure our journey.
Maturity Level Name Definition
0 Non-existent
Complete lack of any recognizable processes. The enterprise has not even recognized that there is an
issue to be addressed.
1 Initial / Ad Hoc
There is evidence that the enterprise has recognized that the issues exist and need to be addressed.
There are, however, no standardized processes; instead, there are ad hoc approaches that tend to be
applied on an individual or case-by-case basis. The overall approach to management is disorganized.
2
Repeatable
but Intuitive
Processes have developed to the stage where similar procedures are followed by different people
undertaking the same task. There is no formal training or communication of standard procedures, and
responsibility is left to the individual. There is a high degree of reliance on the knowledge of individuals
and, therefore, errors are likely.
3
Defined
Process
Procedures have been standardized and documented, and communicated through training. It is mandated
that these processes should be followed; however, it is unlikely that deviations will be detected. The
procedures themselves are not sophisticated but are the formalization of existing practices.
4
Managed and
Measurable
Management monitors and measures compliance with procedures and takes action where processes
appear not to be working effectively. Processes are under constant improvement and provide good
practice. Automation and tools are used in a limited or fragmented way.
5 Optimized
Processes have been refined to a level of good practice, based on the results of continuous improvement
and maturity modelling with other enterprises. IT is used in an integrated way to automate the workflow,
providing tools to improve quality and effectiveness, making the enterprise quick to adapt.

32. Cyber Insurance: Incident Response Responsibilities
Do you know which stages of the incident
response process your company is responsible for
handling vs. your insurance company?
Do you have a written, tested and
functional incident response process in place?
33. Cyber Insurance: Internal Security Controls
Did you know that your insurance provider can
refuse to pay out if you aren’t taking preventative
measures?
Do you know all the cyber security program
elements you are expected to have in place?
34. Cyber Insurance: Payout and Expectations
What are your policy’s max and average payouts?
Does either one of those numbers cover the cost
of the breach estimated earlier?
Do you know what you are expected to provide
and when to provide it when notifying your cyber
insurance of a problem? Do you have these
expectations built in to your company's internal
processes?

39. Education: Target your weakest links ASAP!
TEST
Regularly test your
employees to see how they
behave! Run regular 3rd party
Phishing & Social Engineering
Testing to practice the real
thing and see how they
respond. Conduct a recurring
Security Awareness Survey to
measure the culture around
security and gauge the level
of employee knowledge.
TEACH
Provide interactive training
on security that’s geared
toward educating even the
non-technical employees at
your company. Use a variety
of instructor-led and digital
methods. Make sure your
trainers are ready to teach
employees WHY they should
care and how to protect both
themselves and the
company.
TRACK
Measure your success and
adjust accordingly. Track key
metrics including
participation. Use the
methods in the TEST section
to regularly benchmark
where your employees fall
and measure improvements
in the results. Make
adjustments and
improvements over time to
mature your education
program.
