Our Advice
Critical Insight
Performing an accurate assessment of your current security operations and maturity levels can be extremely hard when you don’t know what to assess or how to assess it.
Alignment can be a difficult area for security to get right when it’s trying to balance both regular IT and the business.
Communication is needed between the business leaders, IT leaders, and the security team for an effective security strategy to be in place.
Impact and Result
Info-Tech has analyzed and integrated regulatory and industry best practice frameworks, combining COBIT 5, PCI DSS, ISO 27000, NIST SP800-53, and SANS to ensure an exhaustive approach to security.
Through this process, a comprehensive current state assessment, gap analysis, and initiative generation ensures that nothing is left off the table.
This project will elevate the perception of the security team from being a hindrance to the organization to an enabler.

7 Steps to Build a SOC with Limited ResourcesLogRhythm
Most organizations don't have the resources to staff a 24x7 security operations center (SOC). This results in events that aren't monitored around the clock, major delays in detecting and responding to incidents, and the inability for the team to proactively hunt for threats. It's a dangerous situation.
But there is a solution. By using the Threat Lifecycle Management framework to combine people, process, and technology to automate manual tasks, your team can rapidly detect and respond to threats—without adding resources. Read on to learn 7 steps to building your SOC, even when your resources are limited.

So exactly how do you integrate information security metrics into action in an organization and actually achieve value from the effort. Learn what efforts are currently underway in the industry to create consensus metrics guides and what initial steps an organization can take to start measuring the effectiveness of their security program.
Some organizations have the resources and skills to secure their IT infrastructure against security threats; however, many organizations cannot do so. Organizations have a state-of-the-art security software solution or pay thousands of dollars for security tools. Even after that, no organization is entirely secure. Certified Threat Intelligence Analyst (C|TIA) allows cybersecurity professionals to enhance their skills in building sufficient organizational cyber threat intelligence. It is a specialist-level program. CTIA is an examination that tests the individuals’ skills and prepares them to make useful threat intelligence in the organization.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
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).

3. Summary
▶ Operationally Critical Threat, Asset, and Vulnerability Evaluation (OCTAVE)
▶ an approach for managing information security risks
▶ Key Differences Between OCTAVE and Other Approaches
▶ Key Characteristics of the OCTAVE Approach
▶ OCTAVE Phases
▶ Two OCTAVE-consistent methods developed at the Software Engineering
Institute (SEI)
▶ the OCTAVE Method for large organizations
▶ The OCTAVE-S for small organizations
▶ Choosing Between the Methods
4. What Is OCTAVE?
▶ OCTAVE is a risk based strategic assessment and planning technique for security.
▶ OCTAVE is self-directed
▶ OCTAVE is targeted at organizational risk and focused on strategic, practice-related
issues.
▶ When applying OCTAVE, a small team of people from the operational (or business) units
and the information technology (IT) department work together to address the security
needs of the organization, balancing the three key aspects
▶ Operational Risk
▶ Security Practices,
▶ and Technology
5. What Is OCTAVE?
▶ OCTAVE approach is driven by two aspects:
▶ Operational Risk
▶ Security Practices
▶ By using the OCTAVE approach, an organization makes information-protection
decisions based on risks to the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of critical
information-related assets.
6. Key Differences Between OCTAVE
and Other Approaches
OCTAVE Other Evaluations
Organization evaluation System evaluation
Focus on security practices Focus on technology
Strategic issues Tactical issues
Self direction Expert led
7. Key Characteristics of the OCTAVE
Approach
▶ OCTAVE is an asset-driven evaluation approach. Analysis teams
▶ identify information-related assets (e.g., information and systems) that are important to the
organization
▶ focus risk analysis activities on those assets judged to be most critical to the organization
▶ consider the relationships among critical assets, the threats to those assets, and
vulnerabilities (both organizational and technological) that can expose assets to threats
▶ evaluate risks in an operational context - how they are used to conduct an organization’s
business and how those assets are at risk due to security threats
▶ create a practice-based protection strategy for organizational improvement as well as risk
mitigation plans to reduce the risk to the organization’s critical assets
8. OCTAVE Phases
▶ Phase 1: Build Asset-Based Threat Profiles
▶ This is an organizational evaluation.
▶ It identifies threats to each critical asset, creating a threat profile for that asset
▶ Phase 2: Identify Infrastructure Vulnerabilities
▶ This is an evaluation of the information infrastructure.
▶ Examines network access paths, identifying classes of information technology components
related to each critical asset.
▶ Phase 3: Develop Security Strategy and Plans
▶ Identifies risks to the organization’s critical assets and decides what to do about them
10. OCTAVE Method
▶ The OCTAVE Method was developed with large organizations in mind (e.g., 300
employees or more).
▶ OCTAVE Method Processes
▶ Phase 1: Build Asset-Based Threat Profiles
▶ Process 1: Identify Senior Management Knowledge
▶ Process 2: Identify Operational Area Knowledge
▶ Process 3: Identify Staff Knowledge
▶ Process 4: Create Threat Profiles
▶ Phase 2: Identify Infrastructure Vulnerabilities
▶ Process 5: Identify Key Components
▶ Process 6: Evaluate Selected Components
▶ Phase 3: Develop Security Strategy and Plans
▶ Process 7: Conduct Risk Analysis
▶ Process 8: Develop Protection Strategy
11. OCTAVE-S
▶ OCTAVE-S was developed and tested for small organizations, ranging from 20 to 80 people.
▶ OCTAVE-S relates to the Phase 2 evaluation of the computing infrastructure.
▶ OCTAVE-S also includes an optional, qualitative version of probability.
▶ OCTAVE-S Processes
▶ OCTAVE-S has the same three phases described in the OCTAVE approach and in the OCTAVE
Method.
▶ Phase 1: Build Asset-Based Threat Profiles
▶ Process S1: Identify Organizational Information
▶ Process S2: Create Threat Profiles
▶ Phase 2: Identify Infrastructure Vulnerabilities
▶ Process S3: Examine the Computing Infrastructure in Relation to Critical Assets
▶ Phase 3: Develop Security Strategy and Plans
▶ Process S4: Identify and Analyze Risks
▶ Process S5: Develop Protection Strategy and Mitigation Plans
12. Choosing Between the Methods
▶ The OCTAVE Method is structured for an analysis team with some understanding of IT
and security issues, employing an open, brainstorming approach for gathering and
analyzing information.
▶ OCTAVE-S is more structured. Security concepts are embedded in OCTAVE-S
worksheets, allowing for their use by less experienced practitioners.
▶ The following set of questions should be used to help you decide which method is best
suited for your organization.
Question OCTAVE Method OCTAVE-S
Size and complexity of the organization
Is your organization small? Does your organization have
a flat or simple hierarchical structure? •
Are you a large company (300 or more employees)? Do
you have a complex structure or geographically-
dispersed divisions?
•
13. Choosing Between the Methods
Question OCTAVE
Method
OCTAVE-S
Structured or Open-Ended Method
Do you prefer a more structured method using fill-in-the-blanks,
