Introduction to Risk Management via the NIST Cyber Security FrameworkPECB
The cyber security profession has successfully established explicit guidance for practitioners to implement effective cyber security programs via the NIST Cyber Security Framework (CSF). The CSF provides both a roadmap and a measuring stick for effective cyber security. Application of the CSF within cyber is nothing new, but the resurgence of Enterprise Security Risk Management and Security Convergence highlight opportunities for expanded application for cyber, physical, and personnel security risks. This NIST CSF can help practitioners build a cross-pollenated understanding of holistic risk.
Main points covered:
• Understand the purpose, value, and application of the NIST CSF in familiar non-technical terms.
• Understand how the Functions and Categories of the NIST CSF (the CSF “Core”) and an organization's “current” and “target” profiles are relevant and valuable in a variety of sectors and environments.
• Understand how an organization’s physical and cyber security resources and stakeholders can align with the NIST CSF as a tool to achieve holistic security risk management.

Application Security - Your Success Depends on itWSO2
Traditional information security mainly revolves around network and operating system (OS) level protection. Regardless of the level of security guarding those aspects, the system can be penetrated and the entire deployment can be brought down if your application's security isn't taken into serious consideration. Information security should ideally start at the application level, before network and OS level security is ensured. To achieve this, security needs to be integrated into the application at the software development phase.
In this session, Dulanja will discuss the following:
The importance of application security - why network and OS security is insufficient.
Challenges in securing your application.
Making security part of the development lifecycle.

Operational technology (OT) and information technology (IT) security protect devices, networks, systems, and users. Cybersecurity has long been critical in IT and helps organizations keep sensitive data safe, ensure users connect to the internet securely, and detect and prevent potential cyberattacks.
Threat modeling is an approach for analyzing the security of an application. It is a structured approach that enables you to identify, quantify, and address the security risks associated with an application.
Build an Information Security StrategyAndrew Byers
Organizations are struggling to keep up with today’s evolving threat landscape.
From technology sophistication and business adoption to the proliferation of hacking techniques and the expansion of hacking motivations, organizations are facing major security risks.
Every organization needs some kind of information security program to protect their systems and assets.
Organizations today face pressure from regulatory or legal obligations, customer requirement, and now, senior management expectations.

Electronic mail, most commonly called email or e-mail since around 1993
E-mail is one of the most widely used forms of communication today.
E-mail is faster and cheaper than traditional postal mail, but at least when you seal that envelope and stick a stamp on it, you can have some confidence that only the intended recipient will open it.
With e-mail, however, your message could be intercepted midstream, and you might never realize it. You have to take steps to secure and protect your e-mail messages.

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).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work.

2. What is Information?
Data that is
•Accurate and timely
•Specific and organized for a purpose
•Presented within a context that gives it meaning and relevance
•Lead to an increase in understanding and decrease in uncertainty
3. Information can be
Created, Stored or Destroyed
Processed
Transmitted
Corrupted
Displayed / published on web
Verbal – spoken in conversations
‘…Whatever form the information takes, or means
by which it is shared or stored, it should always
be appropriately protected’
(BS ISO 27002:2005)
4. What is the Importance of Information?
Information is valuable because it can affect
• Behavior
• Decision
• An outcome
5. What Is Information Security?
Information security is exactly what it
says, the security of information.
“Information is an asset which, like
other important business assets, has
value to an organization and
consequently needs to be suitably
protected”
Process by which digital information
BS ISO
assets are protected
27002:2005
6. Why is information security needed?
Ensure business continuity
and reduce business damage
Prevent and minimize the
impact of security incidents
7. Data Breach Trends
Worldwide, approximately 1.1 million identities were exposed per breach, mainly owing to the
large number of identities breached through hacking attacks.
Apr18’2012 - According to CNN, messages on Twitter and Tumbler indicated members of the
loosely-structured hacking network were celebrating the shutdown of the CIA's website.
Sep03’2012 - Swedish government websites were jammed by hackers for hours Monday, with
some supporters of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange claiming responsibility on Twitter.
Sep27'2012 - Police smashed one of Australia's most sophisticated credit card fraud syndicates,
seizing more than 15,000 fake cards with a potential value of $37.5 million.
Apr18’2012 - Emory Healthcare in Atlanta announced a data breach after the organization
misplaced 10 backup disks, which contained information for more than 315,000 patients.
82% of large organizations reported security breaches caused by staff, including 47% who lost
or leaked confidential information.
8. Security breaches leads to…
• Reputation loss
• Financial loss
• Intellectual property loss
• Legislative Breaches leading to legal actions
(Cyber Law)
• Loss of customer confidence
• Business interruption costs
LOSS OF GOODWILL
9. • Information Security is “Organizational Problem”
rather than “IT Problem”
• More than 70% of Threats are Internal
• More than 60% culprits are First Time fraudsters
• Biggest Risk : People
• Biggest Asset : People
• Social Engineering is major threat
• More than 2/3rd express their inability to determine
“Whether my systems are currently
compromised?”
10. What is Risk?
Risk: A possibility that a threat exploits a
vulnerability in an asset and causes damage or
loss to the asset.
Threat: Something that can potentially cause damage
to the organisation, IT Systems or network.
Vulnerability: A weakness in the organization, IT
Systems, or network that can be exploited
by a threat.
11. The challenges before us
Define security policies and standards
Measure actual security against policy
Report violations to policy
Correct violations to conform with policy
Summarize policy compliance for the
organization
12. Where do we start?
“The framework within which an organization strives to
meet its need for information security is codified as
security policy. A security policy is a concise
statement, by those responsible for a system (such as
senior management), of information values, protection
responsibilities and organizational commitment.”
– US General Accounting Office (GAO)
13. What is “Security & Privacy”?
“Information Security” relates to the information “owned” by an
organisation. Traditionally included three component parts:
1. Confidentiality: Controlled access to information.
Confidentiality of personally identifiable information is also a
Privacy concern.
2. Integrity: Ensuring that information can be relied upon to be
sufficiently accurate for its purpose.
3. Availability: Assurance that information is accessible when
needed.
14. What Else is “Security”?
It has been suggested recently that these should be reviewed
completely or that at least two more components should be
added:
4. Accountability: Someone is personally accountable and
responsible for the protection of information assets.
5. Audit-ability: Ability to explain changes to information
“state” and ongoing audit tests.
16. People “Who we are”
People who use or interact with the Information include:
Share Holders / Owners
Management
Employees
Business Partners
Service providers

23. The Purpose
Provide a framework for the
management of security
across the enterprise
24. Benefits:
• A blue print for a company’s security program
• The success of any information security program lies in policy
development
• Policy is the essential foundation of an effective information
security program
• An effective information security training and awareness effort
cannot be initiated without writing information security policies
25. What are the Objectives & Goals?
Protect company & its assets against theft, abuse and other forms of harm and loss
Estimate possible damage and potential loss through Risk analysis
Comply with requirements for confidentiality, integrity and availability
Ensure service continuity even if major security incidents occur
Ensure compliance with current laws, regulations and guidelines
Motivate administrators and employees to maintain the responsibility for, ownership of
and knowledge about information security, in order to minimize the risk of security
incidents
26. Definitions
Policies
High level statements that provide guidance to
workers who must make present and future
decision
Standards
Requirement statements that provide specific
technical specifications
Guidelines
Optional but recommended specifications
27. Security Policy
Access to
network resource
will be granted
Passwords
through a unique
will be 8
user ID and
characters
password
long
Passwords
should include
one non-alpha
and not found
in dictionary
28. Basic Rules in Shaping a Policy
• Policy should never conflict with law
• Policy must be able to stand up in court, if
challenged
• Policy must be properly supported and
administered
29. Guidelines for making policy
• All policies must contribute to the success of
the organization
• Management must ensure the adequate
sharing of responsibility for proper use of
information systems
• End users of information systems should be
involved in the steps of policy formulation
30. Policies should……
Clearly identify and define
the information
security goals and the goals
of the organization.
31. Type of InfoSec policies
• Based on NIST Special Publication 800-14, the three types of
information security policies are
– Enterprise information security program policy
– Issue-specific security policies
– System-specific security policies
• The usual procedure
– First – creation of the enterprise information security policy – the highest
level of policy
– Next – general policies are met by developing issue- and system-specific
policies
32. Elements of Policies
Statement of Purpose
Establish roles and responsibility
Define asset classifications
Provide direction for decisions
Establish the scope of authority
Provide a basis for guidelines and procedures
Establish accountability
Describe appropriate use of assets
Establish relationships to legal requirements
33. Bull’s Eye Model
• Proven mechanism for prioritizing
complex changes
• Issues are addressed by moving from
general to specifics
• Focus of systemic solutions instead of
individual problems
35. Bull’s Eye Model Layers
• Policies – the outer layer in the bull’s eye diagram
• Networks – the place where threats from public networks meet
the organization’s networking infrastructure; in the past, most
information security efforts have focused on networks, and until
recently information security was often thought to be
synonymous with network security
• Systems – computers used as servers, desktop computers, and
systems used for process control and manufacturing systems
• Application – all applications systems, ranging from packed
applications such as office automation and e-mail programs, to
high-end ERP packages and custom application software
developed by the organization
37. What Should Management Do?
It is the responsibility of senior management to:
Clarify what data should be protected
Decide how sensitive this information is
Budget for the protection of different types of data
Determine how much risk the organization is willing to accept
Implement business processes to regular monitor and improve
Assign responsibility for this to appropriate senior staff
38. What Should IT Do?
The IT department can then decide on the best way
to provide the necessary security:
Work with management to inventory the corporate
information assets & develop security policy
Stay informed of breaking issues
Develop and maintain security management capabilities (in-
house or contract resources)
Participate in security audits
It is advisable to concentrate responsibility for the
security of information in all forms, printed and
electronic, under a single management structure.
39. What Can You Do?
Once an information security system has been established,
organizational culture is a critical factor in ensuring that
individual employees pay attention to the information security
policies and implement the procedures:
Become aware of the information assets that cross your desk
Each time you forward corporate information to someone ask
yourself if there are any security risks
Speak up if you see evidence of security breaches
Provide feedback to IT to assist ongoing management of
Information Security
Information Security is everyone’s business!!

44. Information Security Standards
ISO/IEC 27001 (ISO/IEC 27001:2005 - Information
technology -- Security techniques -- Information
security management systems – Requirements) but
commonly known as "ISO 27001".
Published in 2005
Formally specifies a management system that is intended to bring
information security under explicit management control.
Mandates specific requirements. Organizations that claim to have adopted
ISO/IEC 27001 can therefore be formally audited and certified compliant
Management systematically examines the organization's information
security risks, taking account of the threats, vulnerabilities and impacts;
Requires a comprehensive suite of information security controls and/or
other forms of risk treatment (e.g. risk avoidance, risk transfer)
Requires a management process to ensure that the information security
controls continue to meet the organization's information security needs on
an ongoing basis.
45. Final Note
Policies are a countermeasure to
protect assets from threats
Policies exist to inform employees of
acceptable (unacceptable) behavior
Are meant to improve employee
productivity and prevent potentially
embarrassing situations
Communicate penalties for noncompliance
