The document outlines a framework for developing an information security strategy and proposal for an organization. It recommends taking a top-down approach by first identifying the key sectors of people, processes, and technology and then drilling down to specific domains and technologies within each sector. It provides examples of domains such as identity and access management or network security. The framework is meant to help information security officers understand needs, prioritize investments, and develop a proposal to present to top management to obtain approval and funding for security initiatives.
This document outlines a risk assessment methodology for organizations. It discusses how risk assessments are often not implemented formally or do not provide practical advice. The presented method uses foundation documents, risk evaluation criteria, and a multi-round review process called the Delphic Technique to provide a standardized risk assessment. It recommends developing reusable templates, defining assessment scope and objectives, using the methodology to identify and evaluate risks, and creating formal treatment plans. Time is included as a variable to show changing risks over time. The goal is for assessments to identify practical risk reduction options.
Risk Management Strategy is an approach to dealing with global risks focused to anticipate the events, designing and implementing procedures to minimize the occurrence of the event or its impact if it occurs.
In era of globalization and interconnected world the task to protect the company from global risks became complicated. Any kind of internally or externally risk can cause distortion to its usual business activities. The source of potential risk can be human being, technology failure, sabotage or Mother Nature. All the risks must be considered individually since they overlap to a large degree. Then our Global Risk Management consulting focuses on: terrorism, internal sabotage, external espionage, technology failure.

2) Recent high-profile security failures show how breaches can damage reputation and business. Proper encryption, storage, and access rules for different types of data are critical to reduce risks.
3) Organizations need clear ownership and accountability for IT security and should regularly review security processes, access, and compliance with best practices. Outsourced IT providers also require oversight to ensure security standards are met.

Module 02 Performance Risk-based Analytics
With all the advancements in technology and encryption levels, some methods are faster or slower than others. In most cases a cybersecurity professional must weigh cost, performance, and security. Risk is a powerful tool used by all cybersecurity professionals to assist in making these decisions, and in influencing appropriate stakeholders by providing appropriate information with regard to these three elements.
Risk analysis or risk base analytics helps determine the level of risk to an organization. The first step in this process is to determine the sensitivity of the data being processed. The example below is a common data classification for many organizations; however, depending on how the data will be used, these data fields may vary due to classification levels.
· Public: Data available to the general public and approved for distribution outside the organization.
· Examples: press releases, directory information (not subject to a government regulations or blocks), product catalogs, application and request forms, and other general information that is openly shared. The type of information an organization would choose to post on its website offers a good example of Public data.
· Internal: Data necessary for the operation of the business and generally available to all internal users, users of that particular customer, and potentially interested third-parties if appropriate and when authorized.
· Examples: Some memos, correspondence, and meeting minutes; contact lists that contain information that is not publicly available; and procedural documentation that should remain internal.
· Confidential: Data generally not made available outside the organization and the unauthorized access, use, disclosure, duplication, modification, or destruction of which could adversely impact the organization and/or customers. All confidential information is sensitive in nature and must be restricted to those with a legitimate business need to know.
· Examples:
· Information covered by the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), which requires protection of records for current and former students. This includes pictures of students kept for official purposes.
· Personally identifiable information entrusted to the organization’s care that is not restricted use data, such as information regarding applicants, donors, potential donors, or competitive marketing research data.
· Information covered by the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLB), which requires protection of certain financial records.
· Individual employment information, including salary, benefits and performance appraisals for current, former, and prospective employees.
· Legally privileged information.
· Information that is the subject of a confidentiality agreement.
· Restricted: Data that MUST be specifically protected via various access, confidentiality, integrity and/or non-repudiation controls in order to comply with legislative, regulatory, con ...

A tough question: How secure are we?
What are the corporate information security needs?A top-
down approach
How can we prioritize our needs? A risk-based approach
How can we persuade top management to invest in
information security?
How can we present analysis results to the top
management?
From strategy to implementation: Project phases
3. Introduction
Many Information Security Officers desire a strategic
approach on the information security issue for the
organization.
In most cases executives lack time or the necessary tools
to map the organization’s needs and priorities in order to
schedule tasks or prepare an investment plan.
A well documented proposal based on a plan that can be
easily understood is the first step. A successful presentation
to the top management is the most important step towards
the objective.
4. The top-down approach
Information security applies to people, processes and
technology.
These are the 3 sectors that we initially choose and then
we can split them in more specific domains.
Many executives understand better these specific domains
in which we are going to propose investments. i.e. “we have
security issues in our databases infrastructure”
The top-down approach offers a structured presentation of
the sectors and domains on which we are willing to invest.

7. The next step
Even if we stay at this level of analysis it is sufficient for a
CEO or a CIO to assess and understand the sectors and
domains where investments will be needed.
The next step is to proceed to an even lower level for the
domains that we have already define. This way we specify
the technologies necessary to be deployed in the
organization and the way these technologies can be used
in order first of all to protect information and systems but
also to create measurable results required for their
justification.
8. Monitoring, metrics, reporting
Our investments’ effectiveness will be revealed from the
systematic measurement and reporting. This must be an
objective and its prerequisite is the correct framework for
data collection.
We define 4 horizontal actions for the organization:
1. Information security policies with applicable and
achievable rules.
2. Obligatory enforcement of policies and rules
3. Monitoring of the policies compliance and
enforcement
4. Metrics and reporting that show policies
effectiveness

15. From theory to practice
Very nice theory so far. What can I do in my company?
How can Checkpoint technologies really help me;
The answer in 3 steps:
1. Draw a map of the sectors and domains that we have
described so far noting which technologies add value
to the eterprise.
2. Draw the same map depicting the exisiting situation in
the organization.
3. Prioritize the needs and draw them on paper. Discuss
with Checkpoint technology experts how the
organization benefit in each sector and every domain.

19. …some advice
This framework might seem too generic but it is a solid start as it
gives a security x-ray image of the organization.Αυτό πλαίσιο είναι
πολύ γενικό αλλά αποτελεί μια καλή αρχή καθώς μας δίνει μια
ακτινογραφία του οργανισμού.
It must be clear that each enterprise and each sector of the economy
or industry has its own special needs.
For best results:
1. Modify the plan to best suit your needs
2. Repeat the exercise every 2 years
3. Build your strategy with annual intervals
A comparative analysis between your company and its peers will
persuade even the most demanding CEO or Board.
