they
believe they have the familiarity, the maturity and the
resources they need. To begin the journey, it is
important to explore your weaknesses, determine
how you want to augment your capabilities with
cognitive solutions and think about building education
and investment plans for your stakeholders.
The document provides advice from 10 security experts on how to improve security capabilities and adopt a more proactive approach to threat management. Joseph Smith, interim director of IT at the University of Maryland Eastern Shore, discusses treating endpoints as part of a larger, integrated system rather than as isolated machines. He uses a defense-in-depth strategy including traditional defenses, limited user accounts and application whitelisting. Smith believes a proactive security approach is needed given attackers' unlimited time and resources.
This white paper provides guidance for how to adopt an Intelligence-Driven Security strategy that delivers three essential capabilities: visibility, analysis, and action.

What i learned at issa international summit 2019Ulf Mattsson
This session will discuss what attendees learned at The ISSA International Summit 2019, held on October 1-2 at in Irving/Dallas, TX.
Learn from one of the presenters at this conference and what cybersecurity professionals got to share and learn from the leaders in the industry.
Over the last 30 years ISSA international has grown into the global community of choice for international cybersecurity professionals. With over 100 domestic and international chapters, members have world wide support with daily cyber threats that are becoming increasingly intricate and difficult to prevent, detect, and re-mediate.
The document discusses five key security trends affecting security strategy: 1) Targeted attacks have revealed risks beyond just data exposure, requiring protection against these sophisticated attacks. 2) Data center transformation to software-defined services requires different security tailored to virtual/cloud constructs rather than traditional models. 3) Cloud security demands a strategy to keep data secure and compliant both in the cloud and to/from it. 4) Data protection must extend to intellectual property, risk management, and proof of due care. 5) Specialized environments like IoT shift security's role to protecting connected devices and their generated data.
This paper discusses the question of optimizing security decisions in an organization, based on the information provided by the technical security infrastructure.

The document discusses strategies and metrics for communicating security program effectiveness to business executives and boards. It includes perspectives from several CISOs and security leaders in Europe and the Middle East on how they would answer a CEO's question about how secure the organization is. One expert notes they would avoid hard metrics and focus on a risk-based conversation. Another emphasizes maturity statistics relative to industry peers to show security expenditures provide the right level of protection. A third recommends presenting metrics as percentages of progress rather than raw numbers to provide understandable context for executives.
This whitepaper discusses some common challenges and myths about data security when outsourcing engineering and looks at some industry best practices to address these concerns.
1. Finding the right balance in any organization depends on assessing risk and then convincing executive management to fund security needs.
2. To justify endpoint security solutions, one expert recommends using actual metrics that show the effectiveness of something already deployed, rather than scare tactics about potential attacks.
3. When facing budget reductions, the expert advises resetting expectations by informing management how service levels may be impacted and the increased risks from reduced resources. Quantitative data showing improved security with existing tools can help make the case for continued funding.
The document summarizes research from a survey of 700 IT and security professionals about tackling attack detection and incident response. Key findings include:
1) Organizations conducted an average of 78 security investigations in 2014, with 28% related to targeted attacks. Targeted attack investigations are more difficult and time-consuming.
2) Incident detection and response are hindered by time-consuming manual processes and a lack of integration between security tools. This delays response times and can enable data breaches.
3) Visibility across users, systems, applications and data is limited due to gaps in understanding behaviors and a lack of integration between security and IT operations tools.

A Framework of Purpose and Consent for Data Security and Consumer PrivacyAurélie Pols
Introducing a basic Privacy framework of purpose and consent, this presentation continues with exploring data minimization opportunities and related internal procedures to assure this framework is respected and aligned with global regulation.
Arguing that in light of increased data collection, the very notion of PII or personal information is more than a blurry concept and that de-identification of data is not as easy as it is suggested to be, the conversation should evolve towards the particular context within which data is being used.
The question to ask then becomes “what risk does an individual face if her data is used in a particular way?”
Borrowing from Spanish information security best practices and in the light of increasing data breach regulations, the presentation examines how data flows should ideally be defined and secured in order to assure accountability through an entire data lifecycle.
Such a lifecycles must also include evolving legislative minimal and maximum data retention periods after which action needs to be taken, either through anonymization of collected and used data or through its thorough deletion.
Last but not least, data transits through multiple systems, hosted within multiple environments, ranging from internal and national to international cloud based solutions. Each actor of this data chain has a role to play and responsibility to abide by in order to assure compliance and mitigate risk.
What a data-centric strategy gives you that others do notDell World
People are now walking data centers, and the front lines of data security aren’t just blurred – they no longer exist. How do you put information in the hands of your workforce when and where they need it while mitigating risk? We’ll walk through a day in the life of a piece of data as it makes its way throughout your organization and the world. With a data-centric strategy that connects four foundational functions of IT security: network, identity and access management, data, endpoint, mobile, and security services, you can reap the rewards of mobility while keeping data safe and your organization compliant.

By the end of our session, you will understand how effective data security policies and procedures ensure that the right people can use and update data in the right way, as well as the importance of restricting inappropriate access.
This document discusses establishing an IT security strategy to protect a company's key assets. It outlines introducing the parties and their roles, explaining why security is important to protect valuable business data and systems from threats. The document discusses assessing the company's security needs and vulnerabilities, creating a security policy, and developing a remediation plan. It proposes next steps of scheduling a security assessment and follow-up meetings to review findings and determine next steps for the company's IT security.
The document discusses hacking and information security analysis. It covers various hacking techniques like cyber spying, fraud/forgery, and illegal access. It then discusses common vulnerabilities like buffer overflows, SQL injections, and cross-site scripting attacks. The document provides examples of stack-based buffer overflows and how they can be exploited to hijack a program's execution flow and potentially execute arbitrary code. It also discusses mitigation techniques used by modern operating systems and counter-techniques employed by hackers.
The only way to get where we need to be in security analysis is if we use Security Intelligence. This means working harder and understanding the big picture of your data.
Information Security assessment of companies in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, February 2015.
Every day critical security incidents show the drastic extent of "successful" cyber attacks for organizations in terms of monetary and material loss. With increasing use of digital technologies and the growing spread of mobile and IoT cyber security is becoming a key factor for companies’ successful digital transformation. To analyze current challenges, trends and maturity of companies state of information security, Capgemini Consulting DACH conducted a survey in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. The 2014 Information Security Benchmarking Study shows that information security is insufficiently embedded in most companies‘ business strategy and operations to effectively safeguard organizations against current cyber threats.

Information Security Governance at Board and Executive LevelKoen Maris
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.

State of Security Operations 2016 report of capabilities and maturity of cybe...at MicroFocus Italy ❖✔
As businesses continue to adopt new cloud and mobile functionality rapidly, we find the
edges of the network even more blurred, and our definitions of data ownership and breach
responsibility continue to evolve. Staffing and training continue to be the foremost challenge
of the modern SOC. This is paving the way to hybrid staffing models and hybrid infrastructures
that require less in-house expertise. As a result, highly skilled security team members can then
be utilized for a more specialized hunt and analytics-focused work.
There is no question this year has been both an exciting and challenging time to be in the field
of cyber security. On one hand, it is disheartening to see the continued decline in the maturity
and effectiveness of security operations, while, on the other, I know that we are in the middle
of an exciting and transformative change in our field. You can feel it. We must go where the
data leads us, and we believe that is to widen our definition of security operations to leverage
analytics, data science, Big Data, and shared intelligence to become more effective in protecting
today’s digital enterprise.
