Cybersecurity for Board of Directors - CIO Perspectives Atlanta 2015Phil Agcaoili
Board of Directors are increasingly facing lawsuits related to data privacy and security breaches. To mitigate these risks, boards should regularly discuss data privacy and security issues, ensuring adequate resources are devoted to these areas. Recent reports show that breaches can occur at companies of all sizes, and that many companies have insufficient security budgets or expertise. Proper board oversight of cybersecurity is needed to establish responsible risk management practices and response plans for potential security incidents.
The document discusses several key legal issues related to cloud computing:
1) Determining who is responsible for data protection compliance as the roles of data controller and processor can be ambiguous in cloud environments.
2) Security requirements for cloud providers and whether customers can fully delegate security obligations. Certifications like ISO 27001 are discussed.
3) Cross-border data transfer issues and ensuring personal data stays within adequate jurisdictions according to the EU Data Protection Directive. Transfers to third countries require mechanisms like Safe Harbor, model contracts, or self-assessments.

OIG: Review of NASA's Management and Oversight of Its Information Technology ...Bill Duncan
We found that NASA's IT security program
had not fully implemented key FISMA requirements needed to adequately secure Agency information systems and data. For example, we found that only 24 percent (7 of 29) of the systems we reviewed met FISMA requirements for annual security controls testing and only 52 percent (15 of 29) met FISMA requirements for annual contingency plan testing. In addition, only 40 percent (2 of 5) of the external systems we reviewed were certified and accredited.
These deficiencies occurred because NASA did not have an independent verification and validation function for its IT security program
. We also found that NASA's Office of Chief Information Officer (OCIO) had not effectively managed corrective action plans used to prioritize the mitigation of IT security weaknesses. This occurred because OCIO did not have a formal policy for managing the plans and did not follow recognized best practices when it purchased an information system that it hoped would facilitate Agency-wide management of IT corrective action plans. However, after spending more than $3 million on the system since October 2005, implementation of the software failed.
The Agency is currently expending funds to acquire a replacement system. Specifically, we found that the information system was significantly underutilized and therefore was not an effective tool for managing corrective action plans across NASA. For example, the system contained corrective actions plans for only 2 percent (7 of 289) of the 29 systems we sampled. In our judgment, the system was underutilized because OCIO did not fully document detailed system requirements prior to selecting the system and did not have users validate requirements via acceptance testing prior to implementing it. Because the information system contained minimal data and the manual process the Agency relied on was not consistently followed, OCIO's management of corrective actions plans was ineffective and did not ensure that significant IT security weaknesses were corrected in a timely manner.
Until NASA takes steps to fully meet FISMA requirements and to improve its system acquisition practices, NASA's IT security program will not be fully effective in protecting critical Agency information systems. Moreover, until such improvements are made OCIO will not be in a position to effectively allocate resources to correct IT security weaknesses. Management

Mitigating the Impact of State Management in Cloud Stream Processing SystemsScyllaDB
Stream processing is a crucial component of modern data infrastructure, but constructing an efficient and scalable stream processing system can be challenging. Decoupling compute and storage architecture has emerged as an effective solution to these challenges, but it can introduce high latency issues, especially when dealing with complex continuous queries that necessitate managing extra-large internal states.
In this talk, we focus on addressing the high latency issues associated with S3 storage in stream processing systems that employ a decoupled compute and storage architecture. We delve into the root causes of latency in this context and explore various techniques to minimize the impact of S3 latency on stream processing performance. Our proposed approach is to implement a tiered storage mechanism that leverages a blend of high-performance and low-cost storage tiers to reduce data movement between the compute and storage layers while maintaining efficient processing.
Throughout the talk, we will present experimental results that demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach in mitigating the impact of S3 latency on stream processing. By the end of the talk, attendees will have gained insights into how to optimize their stream processing systems for reduced latency and improved cost-efficiency.

Kief Morris rethinks the infrastructure code delivery lifecycle, advocating for a shift towards composable infrastructure systems. We should shift to designing around deployable components rather than code modules, use more useful levels of abstraction, and drive design and deployment from applications rather than bottom-up, monolithic architecture and delivery.

2. Rationale for MCGlobalTech Security Services
• Open technologies and networked systems used by industry are a likely target for malicious
cyber activities because they are easily accessible, have a wide installation base and detailed
information is available on the Internet.
• Internet-based attacks can wreak havoc on your organization. You are connected with
customers, vendors, suppliers and governments, and are entrusted with vast amounts of
sensitive data such as intellectual capital, proprietary information, etc.
• Your organization can be a leader in responding to new cybersecurity threats. Strong
governance and a mature information security program that draws on industry-driven best
practices can significantly improved cybersecurity posture.
The protection of IT infrastructure is critical to the manufacturing, industrial, healthcare, science and
defense industries. All organizations must protect their systems from attacks that can negatively affect
operations, services and put proprietary information at risk. An organization’s information security
posture can be increased through our Enterprise Security Maturity Program. We help you better
understand and comply with industry standards and federal regulations.
3. The Security Challenge
Information Security challenges all organizations face:
• Organizations in practically every industry are under immense pressure to improve quality, reduce complexity,
increase efficiency and better manage IT expenses;
• Information Systems and data exchanges are vital components to meet these growing challenge, however, the
adoption of technology introduces an abundance of security risks;
• Growing risks and liabilities, including unauthorized access, data breaches, regulatory violations, new
technology implementation, etc.;
• Strong IS governance, oversight, and a thorough understanding of regulatory requirements, industry standards,
and best practices is required to reduce and mitigate the risk of successful cyber crimes;
General obstacle to overcome these challenges include but not limited to:
• Redundant and inconsistent requirements and standards;
• Confusion surrounding implementation and acceptable minimum controls;
• Inefficiencies associated with varying interpretations of control objectives and safeguards;
• Increasing scrutiny from regulators, auditors, underwriters, customers and business partners;
• Lack of highly trained cyber security staff to address information security needs.
4. Overcoming The Challenges
To effectively manage information security, a strong Information Security strategy must be put in
place. The strategy should focus on three elements – People, Process and Technology.
• People are the cornerstone to every security program. Having proper leadership, competent
security staff and trained users ensures security is adequate considered in all business
operations.
• Process ensures the appropriate security practices and procedures are developed,
implemented and maintained to support in support of a well-defined security governance
framework.
• Technology ensures that the appropriate security controls are in place to protect your
environment from all assessed threats, vulnerabilities, and resulting risks.
The recognized importance of information security and compliance has seen significant growth in recent
years. With the integration of networked business systems, comes the risk of malicious software and the
malicious acts of cyber criminals. With constantly changing technology and the Internet, the security
risks are greatly increasing. All industries have challenges mitigating security issues.
