NIST Cyber Security Framework: 4 Steps for CIOs - Deloitte CIO - WSJSherry Jones
The document summarizes key recommendations from a National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) cybersecurity framework for critical infrastructure providers. It recommends that CIOs take four steps: 1) conduct a self-assessment to identify gaps in their cybersecurity practices based on the framework; 2) build consensus around adopting the framework by tying it to existing risk management programs; 3) focus on continuous improvement by working towards higher implementation tiers; and 4) collaborate with industry peers to share threat information. Adopting the voluntary framework may help organizations better manage cybersecurity and legal risks.
The experts discuss several major considerations when selecting an application infrastructure:
- Access controls, authentication management, common data stores, and messaging infrastructure are essential platform capabilities.
- Balance costs, performance needs, data usage, and scalability requirements based on the application's users and purpose.
- Thoroughly review the application's requirements, use cases, data needs, security risks, and integration requirements before choosing.
- Focus first on the business problems and outcomes needed, then determine the necessary delivery and support mechanisms.

Why IT Systems Need to Conduct IT System Penetration Tests - Chris Gatford, N...IT Network marcus evans
The document summarizes an interview with Chris Gatford, Managing Director of HackLabs Pty Limited, about why penetration tests are important for organizations. Gatford advises that while companies perform vulnerability tests, CIOs must also conduct penetration tests to simulate an actual attack without risk. A penetration test exploits vulnerabilities to determine actual exposure, allowing CIOs to see what happens during an attack in a safe way and address issues. Gatford also notes that penetration tests require skilled practitioners to think like hackers to comprehensively compromise systems in a way automated tools cannot.
This document outlines a 9-step process for digital transformation consisting of 3 main stages: design, architecture, and security. The design stage involves developing an end-game business model, performing a gap analysis, and weighing mergers and acquisitions. The architecture stage defines the optimal IT architecture through a technology audit and building a dual-speed architecture. The security stage establishes a data security strategy, maintains security during transformation, and uses transformation as an opportunity to strengthen security culture. The overall message is that while transformation takes time, companies cannot delay and risk being disrupted by competitors, so they must mobilize resources and recruit leadership to start disrupting themselves.
Brian Krebs provides five security insights: 1) Organizations should regularly pen test users as attackers already are; 2) Connected devices with IP addresses will eventually be hacked; 3) Organizations need to drill breach response in advance; 4) People need to actively work to secure and maintain privacy or they do not have privacy; 5) IoT is a national security priority given the firepower available to attackers. Brett Kelsey of Intel Security discussed cybersecurity numbers including average costs of breaches and time to detect breaches.
This whitepaper will help you to answer key questions such as: How will your organization protect itself from advanced cyber-attacks? What are you doing to detect suspicious behavior within the organization and beyond? What processes and tools will you implement to quickly respond to threats and quickly recover from the effects of an attack?

During this
unparalleled time of
physical distancing,
traditional
collaboration has
been a challenge.
It’s created a void
and we felt it.
Why? That’s the first question my team
asked when I said we were hosting a
summit. It’s a fair question.
Knowledge sharing is a hallmark of the
OT/ICS community. During this
unparalleled time of physical distancing,
traditional collaboration has been a
challenge. It’s created a void and we felt
it. In talking with our clients, our alliance
partners, and even some of our
competitors, the sentiment was echoed
back, loudly.
My response to my team was, why not?
Our mission was to bring together
people from the critical infrastructure
space and provide a forum that offers:
• candid peer-to-peer cross-industry
discussions
• real-world experiences from the field
to the boardroom
• scalable security solutions for future
success
• tangible next steps for building an
OT/ICS security roadmap
What follows are key takeaways from each
session. Bold statements from OT
cybersecurity practitioners based on real-
world experience advancing programs
and surmounting the same challenges
facing your organization.

Stop manual asset management.
You can’t protect things you don’t know exist and you
can’t protect systems being changed in a vacuum. If the
goal is to build good, see bad, take action, you’ll never
get there manually.
Continue operational excellence.
Build relationships, foster synergies, and collaborate
between operators and cyber defenders.
Start building an OT security program.
It’s a heavy lift no matter the size of the company, but
it’s important. Important things are hard and hard things

Stop trusting.
Don't assume something (people, process, technology)
is trustworthy because others are using it or you're told
to trust it. Always question what you're doing: is it the
right thing to do and are we doing enough of it.
Continue collaborating.
IT and OT need to continue to work together. When you
work in silos you create weaknesses in your
organization. Adversaries will exploit those weaknesses.
Start empowering your people.
Empower them to adopt IT technology in the OT
environment, and hold them accountable for the
security systems they use and manage.
