Organizations are struggling to keep up with today’s evolving threat landscape. From technology sophistication and business adoption to the proliferation of hacking techniques and the expansion of hacking motivations, organizations are facing major security risks. Every organization needs some kind of information security program to protect their systems and assets. Organizations today face pressure from regulatory or legal obligations, customer requirement, and now, senior management expectations.

The document discusses how security approaches need to adapt to new digital disruptors. It argues that traditional security governance is not adequate for fast-paced business models and can inhibit innovation. A new security mindset is needed that focuses on breach acceptance, resiliency, and securing data rather than trust. It also recommends decentralizing security ownership across teams, incorporating security earlier in the software development lifecycle through DevSecOps strategies, and instilling a security culture to drive key business objectives.

This document presents a business case for establishing an information security program. It outlines the background, value, scope, and components of the program. The program aims to safeguard corporate information assets, establish security standards, comply with regulations, and align IT services with business needs. It involves categorizing data, determining risk appetite, analyzing business impacts, developing a security strategy and plans, and implementing controls. The goal is to effectively manage risks and threats, drive process maturity over time, and provide continuous improvements.

An approach to cloud adoption is a secure way. As security is a major concern for many organisations adopting cloud services, this is a way of starting the cloud adoption security strategy in a cost effective way. Basically leveraging existing standards and approaches.

The document discusses definitions of cyber resilience from academic and industry sources. It finds that while definitions generally refer to withstanding and recovering from cyber threats, they differ in how they define the threats, who or what is resilient, and the core components of resilience. The document also analyzes the origins and practice of cyber resilience, finding it aims to manage inherent insecurity but responsibilities are unclear. It concludes that more research is needed on organizing for resilience across organizations and boundaries.

This document provides an overview of developing an information security program based on the ISO 27000 framework. It discusses defining requirements, developing policies and plans, key initiatives like awareness training and risk management, and assessing effectiveness.

It does not have an ISO standard. NIST barely mentions it. Despite hundreds of publications, no dedicated book is in sight. Enterprise Risk Management frameworks barely touch on it - if they even do. A chapter in Tipton's book dating 2007, proprietary solutions and sparse articles is all we have. In 2007 there was no Cloud yet - and that can be both a big help or a major issue in the process. Mergers & Acquisition is a matter left to Business Administration professionals, who don't like thinking about Information Security risks anyway. Information Security for Mergers & Acquisition is often an afterthought and rarely a deciding factor in due diligence exercises - but when your company acquires a new firm every quarter, you need to start thinking about something. This session will propose a simple framework and you will walk away with an actionable material you can start using tomorrow. Learning Objectives: - Understand information security risks and threats connected with merger and acquisition activities, which include months of often precarious IT migrations, a Cloud mess, and legacy services left exposed for months or years. - Understand how Cloud Computing affects information security risks and threats during a merger and acquisition activities, as well as the positive opportunities they can offer. - Why it is important that Information Security is involved in the early phases of due diligence, including during the phases in which the deal is structured and evaluated, and the acquisition model is defined. - Walk home with a simple framework and actionable material they can start using the day after.

This document provides recommendations to the Department of Homeland Security on cybersecurity priorities and a roadmap. It outlines a phased approach over several years to improve the overall cybersecurity posture. Phase I focuses on establishing a baseline of security across government systems through mandates and best practices. Phase II enhances security controls and expands training and collaboration. The roadmap calls for securing infrastructure, changing culture, improving the IT business model, developing the workforce, and advancing technologies over time to reduce vulnerabilities and attacks on critical systems.

The CISO Europe meeting 2017 - MISTI covered topics on tooling, time to fix operations, strategy, governance, communication, compliance, and cyber risks. Key points included scoping expectations before buying tools, performing root cause analysis before new detections, simplifying IT environments, and installing recent software patches. On strategy, presenters discussed assessing cyber maturity, aligning cyber strategy with corporate strategy using SWOT analyses. Regarding risks, they advised thinking like criminals and having industry-specific controls. For global crime, information sharing across borders in a timely manner with authorities and stakeholders was deemed essential, as was taking a multidisciplinary approach. The overall lesson was that cyber crime prevention requires respect, integrity and compassion.

This document summarizes the results of a study on trends in information security. It finds that while most organizations feel their current security is satisfactory, common drivers for changing approaches include security breaches, vulnerabilities discovered by audits, and reports of other security breaches. Complicating factors include the consumerization of IT, lack of security expertise, legacy systems, and growing sophistication of threats. The study also examines mobile security incidents, cloud security reviews, awareness of regulations, human vs. technology errors, and criteria for better security training.

This document provides an introduction to the concepts of endpoint detection and response (EDR). It defines an endpoint broadly as any connected device used to access an organization's network and data. As new types of devices connect, the definition of an endpoint is expanding beyond traditional computers and mobile devices to also include IoT devices, servers, and industrial systems. The document outlines how EDR can help organizations securely manage this growing variety of endpoints and detect and respond to security threats through automated monitoring and response capabilities. It provides an overview of the topics that will be covered in the book.

The document discusses recovering from healthcare data breaches using the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF).

Cyber attacks continue to pose risks to organisations of all sizes. The document discusses how cyber crime is often financially motivated through theft of sensitive data and intellectual property. Over 90% of large businesses have experienced data breaches, costing millions and resulting in lost intellectual property worth billions annually in the UK. Organisations must comply with data protection regulations by implementing appropriate security controls and responding swiftly to breaches to avoid penalties. The TORI Cyber Exposure Review assesses an organisation's preparedness across technical, procedural and human factors to improve cyber defences.

The cyber security profession has successfully established explicit guidance for practitioners to implement effective cyber security programs via the NIST Cyber Security Framework (CSF). The CSF provides both a roadmap and a measuring stick for effective cyber security. Application of the CSF within cyber is nothing new, but the resurgence of Enterprise Security Risk Management and Security Convergence highlight opportunities for expanded application for cyber, physical, and personnel security risks. This NIST CSF can help practitioners build a cross-pollenated understanding of holistic risk. Main points covered: • Understand the purpose, value, and application of the NIST CSF in familiar non-technical terms. • Understand how the Functions and Categories of the NIST CSF (the CSF “Core”) and an organization's “current” and “target” profiles are relevant and valuable in a variety of sectors and environments. • Understand how an organization’s physical and cyber security resources and stakeholders can align with the NIST CSF as a tool to achieve holistic security risk management.
