Where worlds collide: Agile, Project Management, Risk and Cloud?Livingstone Advisory
The new CIO is expected to be truly agile, deliver transformational value using new technology based services and have a deep understanding of, and engagement with the business – all whilst managing and mitigating risks. In addition to this, the CIO is also expected to be a ‘business partner’ in the real sense of the word. On top of these factors, Cloud is often seen in the eyes of business as a metaphor for timely change, and a convenient ‘get out of jail’ card in their push to lower IT cost, and collapse IT project lead times.
In this context, ensuring the effective orchestration if the various ‘best practice’ methodologies and frameworks in the areas of agile application development, project management and risk management, all whilst managing the whole ‘Cloud’ discussion is not a trivial task.
In this presentation, Rob Livingstone explores the key systemic and technical risks associated with the concurrent adoption and management of agile application development methodologies, project management, hybrid cloud and mobile devices within the enterprise in today’s volatile environment.
Rethinking Disaster Prepardness to Leverage Resources in a Cloud and Mobile World: Presentation given at the 2012 Tennessee Higher Education Symposium (THEITS) - In many respects the disaster recovery plans of today are based upon the environments of old where commodity hardware, cloud resources and mobile devices didn’t exist. In November of 2011 the Tennessee Board of Regents office became the first public higher education organization to move its ERP system to the cloud by having it hosted at the state’s new data center. The following January, state auditors came on site to perform a routine biennial audit. The audit process included an information systems and disaster recovery component which led to a complete rethinking of disaster recovery in the new environment. This presentation chronicled the issues of moving mission critical systems to the cloud and how cloud resources from various sources coupled with mobile devices can be incorporated for cost effective disaster recovery planning.
The document discusses trends driving bring your own computing (BYOC) in organizations, including the rise of multi-device usage, different work habits across generations, and increased mobile working. It proposes embracing BYOC through a formal program that provides employees stipends to purchase their own devices while maintaining security, manageability, and compliance through the delivery of all applications and data from the corporate datacenter using Citrix technologies. The program aims to simplify IT management, increase productivity and flexibility, while reducing costs.
Cloud computing implications for project management methodologiesLivingstone Advisory
Cloud based technologies are becoming increasingly pervasive across society and are considered by many in business as the next major disruptive innovation. For the first time, organizations can consume, as needed, on-demand, business ready Cloud based enterprise services. This is also known as the Consumerization of IT.
Transitioning to, or deploying new IT systems and services using Cloud technologies present their own unique set of challenges to the IT Departments, Project managers and Pproject management Offices (PMO) alike.
The primary objective of this presentation is to provide a number of key considerations for Project Managers in dealing with projects involving Cloud computing technologies.

Will the Cloud be your disaster, or will Cloud be your disaster recovery?Livingstone Advisory
Making real sense of enterprise Cloud computing in the context of your business is not always a trivial task. The volume, diversity and intensity of opinions on what cloud can do for your organization are relentless, as are the pressures to lower IT costs, speed up implementations, simplify enterprise IT and deliver more value in your own organizations.
Shifting your mission critical systems to the cloud presents a formidable range of challenges for many organizations, least of which the potential loss of control over your disaster recovery capability. Conversely, keeping your enterprise IT systems where you can see them, and using the cloud to manage your backups and disaster recovery may appear to run counter to the prevailing perception that the cloud is the ultimate destination for all IT systems.
In this presentation, Rob Livingstone will be covering off some of the key considerations of disaster recovery planning in the hybrid cloud environment and how, paradoxically, cloud could either be the cause of your disaster or has the potential to save you from one. He will be offering practical insights and tips on how you should approach the cloud when it comes to planning for the worst so that you come out looking your best.

Craig Mansfield, the Emergency Management Director of East Haddam, Connecticut, discussed how his town uses the Everbridge emergency notification system. The system allows East Haddam to quickly send messages to over 3,000 residents via multiple channels. During Tropical Storm Irene in 2011, daily updates were sent achieving confirmation rates of 4-17%. The system helped coordinate response efforts and keep residents informed during the widespread power outage. East Haddam finds the system saves time and payroll costs compared to manual notifications. They are happy with Everbridge and how it improves emergency communication.

Rob livingstone CIO Strategy Summit - Park Hyatt Melbourne 17th feb 2012Livingstone Advisory
Many Cloud computing evangelists believe that the conventional enterprise IT service delivery model is dead and almost buried. The new ‘IT democracy spring’ is being fueled by influences such as the ready access to user friendly public Cloud applications, perceptions of low cost and speed of deployment.
On the other hand, the reality is that the vast majority of well-run enterprise IT departments were never really dictatorships, and were never comfortable being branded as such. Nevertheless many observers feel that enterprise IT is under siege, with the skies slowly filling with ‘as-a-service’ vendors circling high above, ready to make the most of the opportunities.
The reality is that Cloud computing, in all its various forms, is reshaping the way both business and IT thinks about service delivery. For the first time since the advent of the personal computer, business users who consume IT services now have a real choice: If enterprise IT cannot provide them with the services they require in a speedy and cost-effective manner, they'll simply go elsewhere.
This keynote session explored the transformation occurring in and around enterprise IT departments and how organisation, IT department and individuals alike can all benefit from the new way of managing and delivering IT services that modern organisations, want, need and feel they are entitled to.

Insufficient data encoding occurs when special characters in input data are not properly encoded before being processed or output. This can lead to injection attacks like SQL injection or cross-site scripting attacks. To prevent this, all data from external sources, both on input and output, should be encoded according to the interpreter that will use the data. Common interpreters are HTML, JavaScript, and SQL, and proper encoding prevents attacks by changing the meaning of special characters.

Out of the Blue: Responding to New Zero-Day ThreatsPeter Wood
Peter Wood is the CEO of First Base Technologies LLP, an ethical hacking firm. He discusses how zero-day threats are a major concern for CIOs due to attacks being strategic and using easy-to-use tools. Examples of zero-day attacks provided are the Aurora attack which targeted intellectual property and the RSA attack which used spear phishing. Minimizing vulnerabilities requires thinking like an attacker and conducting ongoing security testing rather than relying solely on traditional perimeter defenses. CIOs should be engaged before an attack occurs to secure necessary security budgets and approvals.
Peter Wood has worked as an ethical hacker for the past 20 years, with clients in sectors as diverse as banking, insurance, retail and manufacturing. He will describe how advanced persistent threats operate from a security intelligence perspective, based on published case studies and analysis. He will highlight APT entry points and exploitation techniques and suggest practical prevention and detection strategies.
This document provides guidance on securing healthcare data at a physician's practice. It discusses common security terms, why securing data is important, and recommendations for where to start with security. Specific recommendations include implementing a security awareness program for staff, using complex passwords, protecting paper records and removable storage, limiting access to authorized users only, backing up and encrypting data, and maintaining updated systems and software. The document stresses the importance of securing data to comply with regulations, protect patients, and maintain the reputation and viability of the practice.
"Thinking diffrent" about your information security strategyJason Clark
The document discusses the need for a new security strategy that focuses on data protection rather than infrastructure. It recommends evaluating current security spending and redirecting funds to intelligence-led approaches. A next generation security model is proposed that uses context awareness and data-centric policies to identify and contain advanced threats, including insider risks.

IMPACT OF REMOTE WORK:NEW THREATS AND SOLUTIONSPreetiDevidas
Triggered by the corona virus lock down, the abrupt transition to a work from home ( W F H) venue forced organizations to scramble to support a larger remote workforce. Such a quick shift means that certain security measures and requirements inevitably fell by the wayside. At the same time, cybercriminals found a new opportunity for attack with remote workers and improperly secured connections and technologies. Together, these trends have created a more vulnerable environment affecting the cyber security defenses of many organizations.
Parag Deodhar presented on securing mobile workplaces at the Enterprise Mobility Summit on May 9th, 2012 in Bengaluru. He discussed how mobility is changing how IT operates as data moves outside of corporate networks. This crossing of the "Lakshman Rekha" or corporate firewall poses security risks. He highlighted issues with bring your own device policies including difficulty securing and managing personal devices on the network. Deodhar argued that organizations need a mobile enterprise strategy including device management, updated security policies, training, and enforcement mechanisms to balance security and productivity in an increasingly mobile workplace.
With each passing year, the security threats facing computer networks have become more technically sophisticated, better organized and harder to detect. At the same time, the consequences of failure to block these attacks have increased. In addition to the economic consequences of financial fraud, we are seeing real-world attacks that impact the reliability of critical infrastructure and national security.
Join Lancope's Director of Security Research to learn about five key challenges that computer security professionals face in 2013, including:
1. State-sponsored espionage and sabotage of computer networks
2. Monster DDoS attacks
3. The loss of visibility and control created by IT consumerization and the cloud
4. The password debacle
5. Insider threats
Looking at the security landscape for 2013, we predict that previous security investments made by larger, well-funded organizations will serve as a partial deterrent to hackers. However, those same hackers, armed with sophisticated malware and cloaked in a dangerous anonymity provided by the Cloud, will turn their collective eyes to a new, more vulnerable target: small companies. This presentation reveals the four super-sized security trends that will impact business security practices across the globe in 2013.

FS-ISAC APAC Summit 2017 Singapore - Of Crown Jewels and Data AssetsPuneet Kukreja
When organisations today connect digitally and the concept of a network is found to be fast disappearing. Mobile and Cloud solutions are being enabled across the enterprise to aid digital agendas. Calls for agility by the business are driving CIOs and CISOs to look for effective trust-based service enablement models that can help cater to business demand.
- Basic concepts, a changing threat landscape, security intelligence methodology, the intelligence organization, metrics and effectiveness, automation of intelligence processes are discussed.
- Security intelligence involves gathering, evaluating, correlating and interpreting information to reduce uncertainty and enable decision making. The intelligence cycle includes direction, collection, processing, and dissemination.
- Threats have evolved from defacement to complex targeted attacks exploiting vulnerabilities. Intelligence collection targets both internal and external sources to understand evolving threats.
- Automation is being used to help with collection, analysis, and hypothesis generation, but human analysis and judgment remain important aspects of the intelligence process.
This document provides an overview of information systems and data security awareness. It defines information security policy as rules that regulate how an organization manages and protects internal, customer, and computing resources. The purpose is to ensure business continuity by reducing risks and safeguarding confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information. It emphasizes that security is a shared responsibility and outlines good practices like using strong passwords and avoiding opening suspicious email attachments.
This document summarizes key lessons from a presentation on combating insider threats. The presentation was given by Kate Randal, an insider threat analyst at the FBI. Some of the main points made in the presentation include: (1) insider threats are often misunderstood and not just hackers, (2) combating insider threats requires a multidisciplinary approach rather than just cybersecurity, and (3) programs should focus on deterrence through measures like positive social engineering rather than just detection. The presentation emphasizes detecting insider threats is challenging and the science is still emerging.
Most organizations have started to include either static or dynamic application security testing as part of their overall test strategy.
This additional test effort is due in large part to the cyber security risks that are emerging. These risks create an urgent need to move beyond testing and to institutionalize security as part of every organization’s software development/acquisition culture.
This presentation covers real-life examples of how to enable this type of behavioral change in your organization.

Capture the flag (CTF) exercises and events continue to increase in popularity providing essential training and skills development for defenders on blue teams and attackers on red teams. Jeopardy style or attack-defense CTF cyber exercises enable experienced participants and novices to work side by side on teams developing communication, time management and problem solving skills in a safe environment with ground rules and prizes for winners. Defending blue teams often dread the embarrassment of being attacked and compromised until modern deception defenses arrived. Deception defenses mimic a real environment with decoys and breadcrumbs creating an unknown mine field for attackers to detect their activity and movements giving defending blue teams a new advantage.
