- 11. Why? Because we don’t agree on a language Their Language FIX: Fundamentals and simplification. Translation/Communication WARNING – It’s work and it’s NOT sexy. Let’s test this…
- 14. Eliminating RiskInformation Security is NOT
- 16. Managing RiskInformation Security is of what?

- 23. Managing Risk Administrative Controls Physical Controls Technical Controls Information Security is in unauthorized disclosure, alteration, and/or destruction of information. of Likelihood Impact How do you figure out likelihood and impact?
- 24. Managing Risk Vulnerabilities Administrative Controls Physical Controls Technical Controls Information Security is Start with vulnerabilities. Likelihood Impact in unauthorized disclosure, alteration, and/or destruction of information. of
- 25. Managing Risk Vulnerabilities Administrative Controls Physical Controls Technical Controls Information Security is Start with vulnerabilities. • Vulnerabilities are weaknesses. • A fully implemented and functional control has no weakness. • Think CMMI, 1 – Initial to 5 – Optimizing. in unauthorized disclosure, alteration, and/or destruction of information. of Likelihood Impact
- 26. Managing Risk Vulnerabilities Administrative Controls Physical Controls Technical Controls Information Security is OK, but there’s no risk in a weakness by itself, right? Likelihood Impact in unauthorized disclosure, alteration, and/or destruction of information. of
- 27. Managing Risk Vulnerabilities Administrative Controls Physical Controls Technical Controls Information Security is OK, but there’s no risk in a weakness by itself, right? That’s right! We need threats too. in unauthorized disclosure, alteration, and/or destruction of information. of Likelihood Impact
- 28. Managing Risk Threats Vulnerabilities Administrative Controls Physical Controls Technical Controls Information Security is Likelihood Impact in unauthorized disclosure, alteration, and/or destruction of information. of
- 29. Managing Risk Threats Vulnerabilities Administrative Controls Physical Controls Technical Controls Information Security is Likelihood Impact in unauthorized disclosure, alteration, and/or destruction of information. of There is NO risk • For vulnerabilities without a threat. • For threats without a vulnerability.
- 30. Managing Risk Threats Vulnerabilities Administrative Controls Physical Controls Technical Controls Information Security is Likelihood Impact in unauthorized disclosure, alteration, and/or destruction of information. of There is NO risk • For vulnerabilities without a threat. • For threats without a vulnerability. So, what is information security?
- 31. Managing Risk Threats Vulnerabilities Administrative Controls Physical Controls Technical Controls Information Security is Likelihood Impact in unauthorized disclosure, alteration, and/or destruction of information. of
- 32. Some truth about information security It’s relative. Something insecure at the core will always be insecure. You can’t manage what you can’t measure. You can’t manage risk without assessing it. Complexity is the enemy. BONUS: Empty spaces always get filled.
- 33. Some truth about information security It’s relative. Something insecure at the core will always be insecure. You can’t manage what you can’t measure. You can’t manage risk without assessing it. Complexity is the enemy. You cannot build an effective security program or strategy without an assessment.
- 34. Some truth about information security It’s relative. Something insecure at the core will always be insecure. You can’t manage what you can’t measure. You can’t manage risk without assessing it. Complexity is the enemy. You cannot build an effective security program or strategy without an assessment. As much as 90% of organizations fail to do fundamental information security risk assessments. WHY? Reason #1: Complexity
- 35. Managing Risk Threats Vulnerabilities Administrative Controls Physical Controls Technical Controls Information Security is Likelihood Impact in unauthorized disclosure, alteration, and/or destruction of information. of Fine for our tribe, but what about the others?
- 36. Managing Risk Threats Vulnerabilities Administrative Controls Physical Controls Technical Controls Information Security is Likelihood Impact in unauthorized disclosure, alteration, and/or destruction of information. of What if we made a simple score to represent this?
- 37. Managing Risk Likelihood Impact Threats Vulnerabilities Administrative Controls Physical Controls Technical Controls Information Security is We call it the S2Score. We did.
- 38. Managing Risk Likelihood Impact Threats Vulnerabilities Administrative Controls Physical Controls Technical Controls Information Security is The S2Score is a simple and effective language to communicate information security to everyone (citizens, city councils, county boards, other security people, auditors, regulators, etc.).
- 39. Managing Risk Likelihood Impact Threats Vulnerabilities Administrative Controls Physical Controls Technical Controls Information Security is As much as 90% of organizations fail to do fundamental information security risk assessments. Reason #2: Cost
- 40. Managing Risk Likelihood Impact Threats Vulnerabilities Administrative Controls Physical Controls Technical Controls Information Security is Let’s make an information security risk assessment that’s FREE! The assessment that creates the S2Score is available at no cost to anyone.
- 41. Managing Risk Likelihood Impact Threats Vulnerabilities Administrative Controls Physical Controls Technical Controls Information Security is Let’s make an information security risk assessment that’s FREE! The assessment that creates the S2Score is available at no cost to anyone. There’s no catch.

Managing Risk Likelihood Impact Threats Vulnerabilities Administrative Controls Physical Controls Technical Controls Information Security is Let’s make an information security risk assessment that’s FREE! The assessment that creates the S2Score is available at no cost to anyone. There’s no catch. For those who like our snazzy standards and acronyms, the S2Org is derived from and mapped to: • NIST CSF • NIST SP 800-53 • NIST SP 800-171 • ISO 27002 • COBIT • Others…

- 44. Managing Risk Likelihood Impact Threats Vulnerabilities Administrative Controls Physical Controls Technical Controls S2Score is Cool. Speaking the same language should be free. We have another language problem What about the language between organizations? We can use the S2Score to communicate 3rd-party information security risk too.
- 45. Managing Risk Likelihood Impact Threats Vulnerabilities Administrative Controls Physical Controls Technical Controls S2Score is Managing Risk Likelihood Impact Threats Vulnerabilities Administrative Controls Physical Controls Technical Controls S2Score is If two organization’s use S2Score as their language, just share the scores. SIMPLE!
- 46. Managing Risk Likelihood Impact Threats Vulnerabilities Administrative Controls Physical Controls Technical Controls S2Score is BONUS How do we secure America? A man can dream! Simple. Adoption. Let’s do a demonstration to show what I mean.
- 47. I live in Waconia, Minnesota. A town in Carver County.
- 48. Carver County is one of 87 counties in Minnesota.
- 49. Minnesota is one state amongst 49 other beautiful states.
- 50. Minnesota is one state amongst 49 other beautiful states. Are you troubled having the U.S. Flag anywhere near the word “Poor”? I am.
- 51. What to do NOW! By speaking a common language we can work on what really matters (our most significant risks). What we’re going to do: • Keep preaching. • Work politically. • Keep improving (by listening). What you need to do: • Get your free S2Org Assessment and do it! • Help us preach. • Help us work politically. • Help us improve (by talking).
- 52. What to do NOW! By speaking a common language we can work on what really matters (our most significant risks). What we’re going to do: • Keep preaching. • Work politically. • Keep improving (by listening). What you need to do: • Get your free S2Org Assessment and do it! • Help us preach. • Help us work politically. • Help us improve (by talking). What’s the point? People are the point! Information security is not about information or security as much as it is about people. People within our industry and people who work with us are confused and we’re wasting valuable resources.
- 53. What to do NOW! We’re looking for partners. Partners make more money with better margins. Customers get better and more affordable information security. Our preferred partner in Orange County is Framework Security! Visit them at https://frameworksec.com.
- 54. Your Tasks: 1. Do your S2Org Assessment: https://app.securitystudio.com/organization/signup 2. Help us preach by telling everyone. 3. Help us politically by telling your leadership. 4.
