The document summarizes research from a survey of 700 IT and security professionals about tackling attack detection and incident response. Key findings include:
1) Organizations conducted an average of 78 security investigations in 2014, with 28% related to targeted attacks. Targeted attack investigations are more difficult and time-consuming.
2) Incident detection and response are hindered by time-consuming manual processes and a lack of integration between security tools. This delays response times and can enable data breaches.
3) Visibility across users, systems, applications and data is limited due to gaps in understanding behaviors and a lack of integration between security and IT operations tools.
With malware attacks growing more sophisticated, swift, and dangerous by the day — and billions of dollars spent to combat them — surprisingly few organizations have a grip on the problem. Only 20 percent of security professionals surveyed by Information Security Media Group (ISMG) rated their incident response program “very effective.” Nearly two-thirds struggle to detect APTs, limiting their ability to defend today’s most pernicious threats. In addition, more than 60 percent struggle with the speed of detection, and more than 40 percent struggle with the accuracy of detection. Those shortcomings give attackers more time to steal data and embed their malware deeper into targeted systems.

Improve Information Security Practices in the Small EnterpriseGeorge Goodall
Over 80% of small-medium sized business consider themselves non-targets for cyber-attacks. However, 60% of all targeted attacks are towards small-medium sized organizations. The capabilities of hackers have risen dramatically in the last two years. Organizations of all sizes need a security plan. Security by obscurity is no longer a viable option. Adopt a proven strategy to protect vital corporate assets.
SANS 2013 Report on Critical Security Controls Survey: Moving From Awareness ...FireEye, Inc.
The law of unintended consequences strikes again. In an effort to address security risks in enterprise IT systems and the critical data in them, numerous security standards and requirement frameworks have emerged over the years. But most of these efforts have had the opposite effect — diverting organizations’ limited resources away from actual cyber defense toward reports and compliance.
Recognizing this serious problem, the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) in 2008 launched Critical Security Controls (CSCs), a prioritized list of controls likely to have the greatest impact in protecting organizations from evolving real-world threats. This SANS Institute survey of nearly 700 IT professionals across a range of industries examines how well the CSCs are known in government and industry and how they are being used.

Cloud computing and bring-your-own-device (BYOD) workplace policies are expanding the endpoints in IT infrastructures — and more complexity when it comes to investigating cyber attacks. The SANS 2013 Report on Digital Forensics and Incident Response Survey reveals some of the major difficulties that security professionals face in this new environment and how to better prepare for future investigations. Collecting responses from more than 450 security professionals across a range of industries and company sizes, the survey found that nearly 90 percent of respondents had conducted at least one forensics investigation within the last two years. But just 54 percent called their digital forensics capabilities “reasonably effective.” For the latest threat intelligence reports, visit https://www.fireeye.com/current-threats/threat-intelligence-reports.html

Almost every business decision requires executives and managers to balance risk and reward, and efficiency in that process is essential to an enterprise’s success. Too often though, IT risk (business risk related to the use of IT) is overlooked.
While other business risks such as market, credit and operational risks have long been incorporated into the decision-making processes, IT risk has usually been relegated to technical specialists outside the boardroom, despite falling under the same risk category as other business risks: failure to achieve strategic objectives.
This session intends to address business risks related to the use of IT, looking at industry standards, frameworks and best practices, as well as focusing on real world examples and specific plans on how to implement IT Risk Management on every level of your company.
An IT risk assessment does more than just tell you about the state of security of your IT infrastructure; it can facilitate decision-making on your organizational security strategy. Some of the benefits of conducting an IT risk assessment are:

How to Build Your Own Cyber Security Framework using a Balanced ScorecardEnergySec
Presented by: Russell Thomas, George Mason University
Abstract: Two aspects of cyber security that everyone struggles with are metrics and business impact. How do we measure it to improve and how do we make it meaningful to business decision makers? This gap appeared again recently in the NIST Cyber Security Framework (CSF) process RFI responses. But there is no need to wait for NIST CSF or anything else because there is a viable method available now that you can use to build your own CSF. Namely the “Balanced Scorecard” method.
The key idea is to focus on performance against measurable objectives in all critical dimensions that, taken together, will lead to better security, privacy, and resiliency outcomes, even in a dynamic and highly uncertain threat environment. In this presentation, we’ll explain the ten critical dimensions of cyber security performance, explain how they are interrelated and feed off each other, show how to create a performance index in each dimension, and describe how the balanced scorecard can be used to drive executive decisions. This presentation should be valuable to managers and executives in every type of organization in the energy sector, including the supply/service chain. Consultants, regulators, and academics should also find it interesting and useful.

A Wireless Methodology of Heart Attack Detectionijsrd.com
The wrist watch with Heart Attack Detection is equipment that is used daily to indicate heart condition, to detect heart attack and to call for emergency help. It was designed specially to help patients with heart disease.This includes three common sub units. They are Circuit, Analysis Algorithm, and Bluetooth Communication. The first one is to wear on the wrist of the patient to captures the abnormal heart beat waves from the victim and the alternate methods are installed under the stick. This project is based on the previous project “Wireless Heart Attack Detector with GPS†of Fall 2004 [1]. we consider a big improvement in reducing the complexity of the project greatly, in saving power consumption of the project to run much fewer codes and in making the project to run at a faster time. No wire is attached to the wrists. In our project, the ECG waveform is transmitted wirelessly from the wrists to the watch. This gives the user great flexibility while the program is switched on and running. User can drive safely, can use restroom easily and can function normally like without the project. Previous project had the wire connection. All the hardware on the walking watch would have been strapped to the wrists. This will not make the project functional and marketable. Our project is completely portable. Heart condition is displayed in our project. The previous project did not inform the user about his heart condition. We display the heart condition through two LEDs as low-risk (alert level between 4 and 6) and high risk (alert level between 7 and 9). The user can know their heart condition and take proper action to avoid the fatal moment. Proper action could be slowing down and taking a rest.

The the project is of a Heart Monitoring Device which keeps a track of your heart beats.
If the person is getting Heart Attack, the device sends a message to pre-coded number(eg. Hospital, Doctor, Relative), so that the person can be treated.
In Vehicular Communication, the security system against the attacker is very important. Sybil attacks have been regarded as a serious security threat to ad hoc networks and sensor networks. It is an attack in which an original identity of the vehicle is corrupted or theft by an attacker to creates multiple fake identities. Detecting such type of attacker and the original vehicle is a challenging task in VANET. This survey paper briefly presents various Sybil attack detection mechanism in VANET.
When asked if their organization’s incident response efficiency and effectiveness is limited by the time and effort required for manual processes, 93% of the cybersecurity professionals surveyed responded, “yes”, according to The State of Incident Response ESG report.
This poses as a real problem since 22% of organizations find it challenging to keep up with the volume of security alerts.

Risk management plan
Executive Summary
The past few decades have seen technological evolutions on a rapid scale with the growth of the industry taking over the world by storm. Governments and companies alike are investing in further research and development of futuristic technologies in order to work towards a more efficient future in terms of productivity and task automation. The evolution of computers and powerful technologies being made available to the public with them having high processing power and some being small, powerful and portable has led to people having information in their hands, literally.
However, with the advantages of the recently introduced technologies, there still are threats brought about by the same since they have raised privacy and other security concerns as well as health concerns associated with a number of the devices. This paper is aimed at identification of strategies to handle risks which may arise from the continuous development of new technologies (Galati, 2015). Comment by Schneider, Paul: This is the only sentence in this summary which focuses on the paper, and it does a very poor job of previewing everything that the reader will see in this paper.
Project Summary
Scope Comment by Schneider, Paul: This section tells me nothing about the scope for your project. What are the task/activities needed to successfully complete your project?
This report is important in analysis of the importance of information technologies being managed and security implemented since with their introduction, most companies have taken them up therefore the need to prevent attacks via technologies implemented. Critical processes in business are reliant to information technologies therefore need for safeguarding them against hacking attacks among other similar threats relating to information technologies.
Milestones Comment by Schneider, Paul: This section tells me nothing about the milestones for your project. When does the project start? When does the project end? What are all of the milestones between the start & end?
All businesses especially in a technologically growing and depend world need to learn the vulnerabilities posed by the developments as well as methods which can be used to control or curb them. Most companies have successfully put in place firewalls and administrators of networks to monitor, analyze and notify of irregularities which may cause a breach to sensitive company information.
Cost Constraints Comment by Schneider, Paul: Very poor job.
In implementation of security within information technologies, there are costs involved, some being one off and others being recurrent however all serving the same purpose. Costs inclusive in implementation of security protocols are such as purchase as hardware and software offering security such as firewalls, antiviruses, antimalware programs and programs for detection of network intrusions. Costs can also arise from contracting an external organization to ...
This paper discusses the question of optimizing security decisions in an organization, based on the information provided by the technical security infrastructure.
Cyber-security is the number one technology issue in the C-suite and Board Room. No wonder that many senior executives are asking what they can be doing to stem the tide of cyber-attacks on their firms.
Priming your digital immune system: Cybersecurity in the cognitive eraLuke Farrell
Learn how cognitive security may be a powerful tool in addressing challenges security professionals face.
New capabilities for a
challenging era
Security leaders are working to address three gaps
in their current capabilities
—
in intelligence, speed
and accuracy. Some organizations are beginning to
explore the potential of cognitive security solutions
to address these gaps and get ahead of their risks
and threats. There are high expectations for this
technology. Fifty-seven percent of the security
leaders we surveyed believe that it can significantly
slow the ef forts of cybercriminals. The 22 percent of
respondents who we call “Primed” have started their
journey into the cognitive era of cybersecurity
—
they
believe they have the familiarity, the maturity and the
resources they need. To begin the journey, it is
important to explore your weaknesses, determine
how you want to augment your capabilities with
cognitive solutions and think about building education
and investment plans for your stakeholders.
Risk management is one of the main concepts that have been used by most of the organisations to protect their assets and data. One such example would be INSURANCE. Most of the insurance like Life, Health, and Auto etc have been formulated to help people protect their assets against losses. Risk management has also extended its roots to physical devices, such as locks and doors to protect homes and automobiles, password protected vaults to protect money and jewels, police, fire, security to protect against other physical risks.

State of Security Operations 2016 report of capabilities and maturity of cybe...at MicroFocus Italy ❖✔
As businesses continue to adopt new cloud and mobile functionality rapidly, we find the
edges of the network even more blurred, and our definitions of data ownership and breach
responsibility continue to evolve. Staffing and training continue to be the foremost challenge
of the modern SOC. This is paving the way to hybrid staffing models and hybrid infrastructures
that require less in-house expertise. As a result, highly skilled security team members can then
be utilized for a more specialized hunt and analytics-focused work.
There is no question this year has been both an exciting and challenging time to be in the field
of cyber security. On one hand, it is disheartening to see the continued decline in the maturity
and effectiveness of security operations, while, on the other, I know that we are in the middle
of an exciting and transformative change in our field. You can feel it. We must go where the
data leads us, and we believe that is to widen our definition of security operations to leverage
analytics, data science, Big Data, and shared intelligence to become more effective in protecting
today’s digital enterprise.
