This document outlines 10 imperatives for information security functions in 2017. It discusses how information security will need to shift from a focus on governance to enabling business growth and digital strategies. Some of the key imperatives include:
1) Pivoting board conversations from risk avoidance to enabling business growth through digital innovation.
2) Formalizing IT risk management across the organization as technology becomes more critical.
3) Helping the business reassess the value of data collection relative to new privacy and security risks.
The document argues that information security will need to adopt more of a management focus over operations to support new digital initiatives and continuous delivery models. It also emphasizes the need to consider security risks outside of

How close is your organization to being breached | Safe SecurityRahul Tyagi
Traditional methods are certainly limited in
their capabilities and this is easily proven by
the multitude of breaches businesses were a
victim of, across the globe. The 2020 Q3 Data
Breach QuickView Report revealed that the
number of records exposed in 2020 has
increased to 36 billion globally. The report
stated that there were 2,953 publicly
reported breaches in the first three quarters
of 2020 itself! 2020 is already named the
“worst year on record” by the end of Q2 in
terms of the total number of records
exposed. With the growing sophistication of
cyber-attacks and global damages related
to cybercrime reaching $6 trillion by 2021, we
need a solution that simplifies
cybersecurity.

Sans 20 CSC: Connecting Security to the Business MissionTripwire
You know the old break-up line, “it’s not you, it’s me….”? As a CISO, what if when you get your few minutes to discuss security with the C-suite, board of directors or mission leadership, it really turns out to be you not them who failed in the communication?
Lack of success in communicating with your C-suite could lead to a breakup sooner or later. I’ve had hundreds of conversations with and about CISOs communicating – - on topics ranging from security breach information, status, performance metrics, risk, visualizations, or overall security posture with their executive leadership.
And largely, it turns out to be no surprise that communicating security information is incredibly difficult, especially with non-technical, disinterested, or time-constrained C-suite executives.
Success with SANS
The initial UMASS Security Program was based on the ISO/IEC 27002 controls framework, then starting in 2011, the SANS 20 CSC were added. Today’s program includes both. The ISO controls focus on program management, compliance and process from an IT auditor’s perspective, while the SANS controls focus on technology means they are better aligned with IT operations.
Prior to 2011, Wilson was having difficulty communicating with executive management (CIOs and others) – it was difficult to translate the purchase and implementation issues surrounding firewalls, anti-virus, and vulnerability scanning into easily familiar business terms and concepts relevant to management and process.
However, when he ditched trying to explain the ISO/IEC 27002 security controls framework in favor of using the SANS 20 CSC, he was able to communicate much more effectively with his C-suite for the first time in a way they could absorb and support.
In addition, he and his team have been able to map out a measurable and actionable security program based on SANS that he regularly succeeds in communicating to his executive team.

Cyber security trends in the UK
Enterprises today are faced with three key challenges:
- Implementing new SMAC technologies to support the business, as part of their digital transformation programs, but while keeping it secure;
- Responding to the increasing and changing threat landscape of targeted attacks;
- Achieving and retaining compliance with an increasing number of rules and regulations.
How do enterprises respond, in the context of a nationwide shortage in cyber security skills? Our hypothesis for this study was that enterprises are struggling to cope with the increase in workload, and are increasingly offloading (some of) their security provision to outsourcing providers as Managed Security Services (MSS). We surveyed 230 decision makers in large companies (1000+ employees) in the UK, to understand their motivations and drivers with regard to cyber security provision.
This study deals with the following questions:
- What do companies understand about the growing cyber threat landscape?
- How are companies meeting their resource challenges in cyber security?
- How are they using external providers to meet resource challenges?
- What are the drivers and inhibitors for using external cyber security providers?
- What alternative approaches to external cyber security provision being considered?
- Which services do companies expect from a cyber security provider?
- What are the capabilities and attributes of a credible cyber security provider?

Energy use in Latin America has more than tripled over the past forty years, from 248 million tonnes of oil equivalent (MTOE) in 1971 to 848 MTOE in 2013, representing more than 8% of the increase in global energy demand over the period.
Electricity requirements are estimated to increase by more than 91% through 2040, reaching over 2,970 terawatt-hours. That means that the region will need to add nearly 1,500 TWh to its current production.
Meeting these electricity needs will require the equivalent of planning, building, and maintaining eighteen hydropower stations the size of Paraguay-Brazil’s Itaipu (the third largest worldwide).

A to Z of Information Security ManagementMark Conway
The purpose of information security is to protect an organisation’s valuable assets, such as information, Intellectual property, hardware, and software.
Through the selection and application of appropriate safeguards or controls, information security helps an organisation to meet its business objectives by protecting its physical and financial resources, reputation, legal position, employees, and other tangible and intangible assets.
In this A to Z I’d like to outline some of the key focus areas for organisations wishing to pursue compliance to the ISO27001 Information Security standard.
How to Develop the Total Person (qualities and attributes of highly effective...PowerRound Corporation
When it comes to attributes of highly effective people, there are three longstanding myths that research has shown to be just that. The trio of misguided theories:
It is not possible to develop essential qualities and character traits in people—the kind that can drive peak performance, improve corporate culture and employee engagement, and reduce risk and turnover. You can only hire people who possess these attributes; they can’t learn them.
It’s impossible to measure improvements in work ethic and such character traits as commitment, follow through, and diligence. Nor can one measure good communication, respect, organizational skills, collaborative teamwork, leadership or integrity.
You can neither predict nor measure the ROI of character training development at the individual level, or improvements at the macro level.
Security Information Management: An introductionSeccuris Inc.
Information Security managers have long been tasked with monitoring the enterprises they work for while the business requirements for enterprise security monitoring continue to mutate and be redefined with ever increasing speed. The definition and location of our assets shifts on a daily basis requiring a new unsurpassed level of flexibility and visibility in managing information security/ Traditional security technologies have continued their overlap with network, information and audit management solutions creating workplace silos for managing information security.
The ability to monitor in the enterprise, identifying, interpreting and intelligently responding to the true needs of our organizations seems impossible.
This presentation introduces Security Information Management (SIM) technologies and concerns, outlining potential solutions and approaches you can take to move your security posture forward.

Current enterprise information security measures continue to fail us. Why is ...Livingstone Advisory
Conventional information security measures continue to fail our businesses in today’s rapidly changing world of cyber-risk. Adverse cyber-events manifest themselves as the usual suspects including data breaches, information theft, ransom- and malware, viruses, payment card fraud, DDOS attacks or physical loss – to name but a few.
Problem is, the tally of adverse events keeps mounting up. While headline adverse cyber incidents are now reported in the media with regularity, this represents the tip of the cyber-risk iceberg. Most known events are either unreported or hidden from public disclosure. Not helping, is the industry analysis suggesting that, on average, nearly half of all adverse cyber-risk events impacting organisations are self-inflicted and avoidable. No industry is untouched.
Delivered at the CIO Summit in Melbourne, Australia in November 2016, in this presentation, Rob offers valuable strategic insights into the problem and why it continues to be a problem.
He outlines some practical steps that will be helpful for CIOs and CISOs in reshaping their own organisation’s approach in building a more effective and resilient information security capability.
