Resilience in information security is used as a buzzword, but hasn't been codified. I attempt to define what resilience means in cybersecurity, and look at cross-domain insights (climate change, disaster recovery, flood risk management) for practical ideas of how to implement it when architecting security strategy.

Preparing for a Black Swan: Planning and Programming for Risk Mitigation in E...juliekannai
Scott Tucker and Verrick Walker, Page
A Black Swan is an event that appears random, is extremely difficult to predict, and usually occurs unexpectedly—with a huge impact. The flooding from Hurricane Harvey in 2017 was Houston’s Black Swan. Unfortunately, we seldom think of disastrous flooding in our commercial buildings, bioterrorism in our health care facilities, blasts in our mission critical facilities, or wildfires overcoming our civic infrastructure, until another black swan dominates the news.
Over the past two decades, Page has formally helped owners and operators of critical facilities and infrastructure to plan and organize programs to harden and protect assets from a wide range of common and not-so-common threats, both natural and artificial. Beginning in 2001, we implemented a flood mitigation solution for Baylor College of Medicine’s campus in the Texas Medical Center after Tropical Storm Allison. Since that first project, we have helped academic, corporate, and government clients safeguard their facilities against fires, hurricanes, earthquakes, explosions, terrorist attacks, and even nuclear detonations. Through our work, we have developed a useful analytical framework for exploring resilient design options that applies to all types of threats, responses, and recovery efforts. This approach focuses on planning and programming for system-wide robustness, based on generalizing threats to buildings, rather than using actuarial data or calculated risk analysis.
This presentation outlines a practical methodology for architects to evaluate facility vulnerabilities throughout the programming and design phases. We will share our threat matrix, a tool developed to summarize and prioritize risks, case studies of how we have implemented this process, and the resulting robust solutions. We also will discuss operational steps that can be taken before, during, and after extreme events in conjunction with designed solutions to maximize resilience.

Power system resilience is an important concept for network planners to consider. It involves preparing infrastructure to withstand and recover quickly from extreme and low probability events through measures taken before, during, and after incidents occur. Resilience is a multifaceted concept that goes beyond traditional reliability metrics to quantify the impact of events like natural disasters, space weather, cyber attacks and terrorism. Adopting resilience principles requires assessing threats and vulnerabilities, quantifying consequences, and developing strategies to contain impacts, coordinate response and recovery, and compress restoration times.
This document presents chapter 13 from the book "Next Generation Disaster and Security Management". The chapter discusses how situation awareness is crucial for effective disaster management. It argues that new information technologies can help improve situation awareness by enabling the collection and sharing of real-time information from various sources. However, challenges remain in processing large amounts of data from diverse sources and ensuring the data's accuracy and usefulness for decision making. The chapter advocates for approaches to enhance situation awareness using new technologies while addressing issues around data quality and management.

The document discusses advanced cyber attacks and defense strategies. It notes that attackers are present on victim networks for an average of 229 days before detection. Multiple layers of security controls, known as defense in depth, are recommended to slow attackers and reduce their momentum over time. This involves placing security measures throughout the IT system to provide redundancy if one control fails. It is also important for executives to understand that cyber threats are continuous and will likely never be fully prevented due to human attackers adapting their techniques. Continuous monitoring, detection, prevention and analysis are needed to address modern threats.

Big Game Theory Hunting: The Peculiarities of Human Behavior in the InfoSec GameKelly Shortridge
HD: swagitda.com/speaking/us-17-Shortridge-Big-Game-Theory-Hunting.pdf
We all groan when we hear it's "time for some game theory," but traditional game theory – modelling conflict and cooperation between rational decision-makers – still pervades how we think of defensive strategy as an industry. This primitive analysis is a disservice to defenders, who are facing humans (and who are, in fact, humans themselves), but are modelling their own actions and opponent's actions based on the assumption of machine-like behavior.
In this session, I will examine traditional game theory and propose why behavioral game theory should take its place in the philosophy of defense. Next, I'll review the first principles of game theory, through the lens of behavioral game theory, which empirically measures how humans actually behave in games, rather than assumes they will behave coldly rational.
I'll explain the "rules" of the information security game and how traditional game theory is poorly suited to those conditions, along with the various behavioral models and why they are a superior fit. I'll then explore the two primarily methods that play into how humans make decisions in games – "thinking" and "learning" and what empirical data from behavioral game theory studies suggests on how to improve thinking and learning, extrapolating to applications for infosec defenders.
Finally, I'll present new insights from my own research, examining how defenders and attackers play the infosec game specifically, and bridging from theory to practice, to see how the lessons from behavioral game theory can be tangibly incorporated into defenders' strategic decision making processes. I'll conclude the session by outlining the practical steps for improving threat modelling, countering offensive moves, and deciding which products to use, so that defenders can start gaining the high ground in the infosec game.
Volatile Memory: Behavioral Game Theory in Defensive SecurityKelly Shortridge
This presentation will explore some of the teachings from the young field of behavioral game theory, which empirically measures how humans behave in games, as an improvement upon prior discussions involving traditional Game Theory models in which humans are considered perfectly rational. I will use behavioral game theory to examine how people’s natural cognitive biases lead to sub-optimal behavior in their decision-making processes in adversarial games – and specifically processes related to playing defense in the information security “game.”
I will detail various sorts of games in which this sub-optimal performance manifests, how humans cognitively approach these games and touch on some of the algorithms, such as self-tuning EWAs, that help predict how people will behave in certain defender-attacker-defender (DAD) games. Finally, I will explore what sort of strategies and counter-measures can be implemented to improve defense’s performance in DAD games, incorporating techniques such as belief prompting, improved incorporation of information and decision trees.
We’ll be returning to first principles for how defenders in information security make decisions. Cognitive biases can lead to sub-optimal decision making both in individuals and teams, and in information security, defenders’ decision making processes are vital to improve resilience to attacks. This talk will explore how teams can tune their decision making processes to take these biases into account and guide themselves towards more rational thinking
Presented at Art into Science 2017
The information security industry can often feel inaccessible to outsiders, particularly those without a computer science background. However, there are ways to quickly dive into the field regardless of your background, many of which just require a time investment. I’ll talk about the numerous infosec careers available, how to network with community members, and how to build a knowledge base that is sustainable for the ever-evolving field.
Presented at DuoSecurity's Duo Tech Talk
The Art of Explanation: Behavioral models of infosecKelly Shortridge
This talk will examine the dynamics of the information security industry through the lens of behavioral economics. Traditional ways of thinking about defensive and offensive motivations focus on models such as game theory, which tend to assume the people on each side are “rational” actors. However, humans are predisposed to incorporate cognitive biases into their decision making, leading to “irrational” behaviors that are better described by behavioral models.
I'll explore what biases defenders and attackers have when they make decisions, and how these insights can be leveraged to improve defensive efficacy. In particular, I’ll discuss the implications of behavioral economics theories such as Prospect Theory, time inconsistency and dual-process theory and their explanatory power for why the industry dynamics are the way they are.
Presented at Hacktivity 2016
Recent controversies such as Apple vs FBI have highlighted that often strong security is a prerequisite for privacy, and that upholding privacy can ensure stronger security is built into software. Can the argument still be made that security must be sacrificed in place of privacy? How much are security and privacy inherently linked?

I examine the information security industry through the lens of behavioral models. Traditional ways of thinking about defensive and offensive motivations focus on models such as game theory, which tend to assume the people on each side are “rational” actors. However, humans have lots of quirks in their thinking that are the result of cognitive biases, and that lead to “irrational” behaviors.
The question therefore is: what biases do defenders and attackers have when they make decisions, and how can we leverage these insights to improve the efficacy of defense? In particular, I’ll discuss what implications theories such as Prospect Theory, time inconsistency, less-is-better effect, sunk cost fallacy, dual system theory and social biases such as fairness and trust have for why the industry dynamics are the way they are.

Webinar Recording: https://www.panagenda.com/webinars/hcl-notes-and-domino-license-cost-reduction-in-the-world-of-dlau/
The introduction of DLAU and the CCB & CCX licensing model caused quite a stir in the HCL community. As a Notes and Domino customer, you may have faced challenges with unexpected user counts and license costs. You probably have questions on how this new licensing approach works and how to benefit from it. Most importantly, you likely have budget constraints and want to save money where possible. Don’t worry, we can help with all of this!
We’ll show you how to fix common misconfigurations that cause higher-than-expected user counts, and how to identify accounts which you can deactivate to save money. There are also frequent patterns that can cause unnecessary cost, like using a person document instead of a mail-in for shared mailboxes. We’ll provide examples and solutions for those as well. And naturally we’ll explain the new licensing model.
Join HCL Ambassador Marc Thomas in this webinar with a special guest appearance from Franz Walder. It will give you the tools and know-how to stay on top of what is going on with Domino licensing. You will be able lower your cost through an optimized configuration and keep it low going forward.
These topics will be covered
- Reducing license cost by finding and fixing misconfigurations and superfluous accounts
- How do CCB and CCX licenses really work?
- Understanding the DLAU tool and how to best utilize it
- Tips for common problem areas, like team mailboxes, functional/test users, etc
- Practical examples and best practices to implement right away
