It discusses the goals and key parts of the Framework, including the Framework Core with its functions, categories and subcategories. It also covers the Framework Profile and Implementation Tiers. The document then demonstrates how Trusted Integration's software maps to the Framework and can be used to assess an organization's cybersecurity activities.
The document discusses how to implement standards from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Cybersecurity Framework in an organization. It covers the origins and goals of the NIST CSF, how it applies to organizations, the five pillars of the framework (Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, Recover), common mistakes to avoid when implementing it, and leaves time for questions. The overall purpose of the NIST CSF is to help organizations manage cybersecurity risks through a common language and comprehensive programs.
Information technology is a complex business, at best. While IT can provide amazing benefits, it still requires vigilance and diligence to ensure it is running correctly and that it is secure. A security framework can be an excellent tool to evaluate what you might be missing and confirm that what you are already doing is spot-on correct. This session will discuss the importance of using security frameworks and walk attendees through the NIST Cyber Security Framework to review how the framework functions, how to use a framework, and most importantly, how the use of a framework can and will benefit their organization.

Achieving Visible Security at Scale with the NIST Cybersecurity FrameworkKevin Fealey
In 2011, Marc Andreessen said "software is eating the world." Today, that statement is truer than ever. Businesses in every industry - from retail, to energy, to financial - are essentially software companies, with millions of lines of custom source code being written and managed in-house. Additionally, advances in the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) and the emergence of DevOps have allowed some organizations to deploy new code from development to production dozens of time each day. Traditional approaches to securing such large quantities of code, especially at the speed of current development, have proven to be ineffective, as is evident by recent public data breaches of both public and private sector organizations; as well as the resulting legislation, like Presidential Executive Order (EO) 13636, Improving Critical Infrastructure Cybersecurity. The only way for cybersecurity teams to keep up with their development counterparts is to automate, but where should they start?
The NIST Cybersecurity Framework provides guidance for organizations interested in establishing or improving a cybersecurity program. Today, a security automation plan is a crucial aspect of any cybersecurity program.
This talk will describe how the NIST Cybersecurity Framework can be used to establish and implement a plan for integrating security-automation activities into any security program. We'll describe the latest trends in security-automation and DevOps, including how to automatically identify security-best practices being followed, and anti-patterns that indicate a potential risk. Attendees will learn how to consolidate this data in a centralized dashboard of their choosing, and how such information can be automatically distributed to stakeholders throughout their organization.
In the coming years, with the growth of Internet of Things (IoT) and Cloud, organizations will become more and more reliant on custom software. Cybersecurity teams who fail to begin automating soon will only continue to fall further behind and put their organizations at greater risk. The NIST Cybersecurity Framework provides the foundation for such teams to establish their roadmap to security, and this talk will build on that foundation to highlight some potential paths.
The document discusses cloud security knowledge and certifications. It provides an overview of the Cloud Security Alliance (CSA) Certificate of Cloud Security Knowledge (CCSK) certification and the (ISC)2 Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) certification. The CCSK covers 14 security domains and validates an individual's understanding of securing cloud services, while the CCSP builds upon the CCSK and has 6 security domains.
Cybersecurity for Board of Directors - CIO Perspectives Atlanta 2015Phil Agcaoili
Board of Directors are increasingly facing lawsuits related to data privacy and security breaches. To mitigate these risks, boards should regularly discuss data privacy and security issues, ensuring adequate resources are devoted to these areas. Recent reports show that breaches can occur at companies of all sizes, and that many companies have insufficient security budgets or expertise. Proper board oversight of cybersecurity is needed to establish responsible risk management practices and response plans for potential security incidents.
This document discusses various types of security assessments, including technical security testing, security process assessments, and security audits. It provides details on vulnerability assessments, network penetration testing, web application penetration testing, and source code analysis. It also discusses security process reviews and the differences between security assessments and security audits.
The document summarizes a presentation about helping utilities prepare for cybersecurity. It discusses the Cybersecurity Capability Maturity Model (C2M2) developed by the Department of Energy (DOE) to help organizations assess their cybersecurity practices. The C2M2 uses a maturity model approach with 10 domains and 4 maturity levels to evaluate an organization's cybersecurity capabilities. It also discusses how the C2M2 can be used to support implementation of the National Institute of Standards and Technology's Cybersecurity Framework.

Accountability for Corporate Cybersecurity - Who Owns What?Henry Draughon
Data breaches have progressed from low probability, high consequence events to high probability, high consequence events. This shift requires that senior executives become more involved to help reduce financial impact and protect their companies’ reputation and brand.
Cybersecurity frameworks like NIST, HITRUST, PCI DSS, COBIT, and OSI provide the structure to facilitate senior executive participation. The technical perspective, sophistication, and complexity of frameworks can lead to silos of cybersecurity management. Cross-functional accountability for effective corporate cybersecurity management is required.
A Responsibility Assignment Matrix within a cybersecurity framework can visually and effectively illustrate cross-functional ownership of the corporate cybersecurity plan. Ownership of the creation and maintenance of the corporate security plan should remain with either the security or IT department. Many aspects of cybersecurity accountability naturally reside outside of the security and IT departments.

Cyber Risk Management in 2017: Challenges & RecommendationsUlf Mattsson
Ulf Mattsson presented on cyber risk management challenges and recommendations in 2017. He discussed trends like the increasing involvement of boards in cybersecurity oversight. Mattsson also covered topics such as talking to boards about cyber risk, data security blind spots within organizations, and how the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard is evolving to incorporate concepts like data discovery and integrating security into the development process. He emphasized the importance of generating security metrics and adopting a DevSecOps approach to strengthen an organization's security posture and compliance.
The document discusses the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, which provides guidelines for critical infrastructure security and management of cybersecurity risks. It was created through a collaboration between government and industry to help organizations manage and reduce cybersecurity risks. The framework consists of five concurrent and continuous functions - Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, Recover. It also outlines implementation tiers from Partial to Adaptive to help organizations determine their cybersecurity risk management practices. The framework is meant to be flexible and not prescriptive in order to accommodate different sectors and risks profiles.
The document discusses RACI (Responsible, Accountable, Consulted, Informed) matrices, which are used to define roles and responsibilities in processes.

In January-February 2016, the EIU, surveyed 1,100 senior executives on data security practices within their firms. The survey’s primary objective was to analyse the differences, if any, between the C-suite and senior IT executives on data security.
The survey sample was recruited from companies with between $500 million and $10 billion in revenues, and is equally representative of the Americas, Asia-Pacific and European regions. The panel came from 20 industries, with no single industry accounting for more than 14% of the total.
This was a survey of senior executives. The C-suite segment, sometimes referred to herein as senior management or corporate leadership, consisted exclusively of C-suite executives (eg CEOs, CFO, COOs). The security segment, sometimes referred to herein as the security executives, consisted of the CIO and those who identified themselves as Chief Data Officers or Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs).
Each panel was asked an identical set of 20 questions, and the results have been reviewed for insight and commentary by a panel of independent experts.
