  5. NCS Restoration Perspective: Range of Incidents

  6. Summary Statistics • ~750 NRIC Best Practices (*NRIC VI) ~250 Network Reliability (including Network Interoperability) ~250 Homeland Security Physical Security ~250 Cyber Security, Public Safety & Business Continuity Business Continuity Network Public Safety Reliability Cyber Security Physical Security

  7. Across Network Types All Elements Planning & Design Throughout Organization Functions & Levels Repair & Decommission Provisioning & Installation Operation & Administration Throughout Lifecycle Best Practices Apply in Wide Range of Applications

  8. Trends • Security requires more Vulnerability–based approaches • Size of scale is enormous • Complexity of networks is increasing • Technology advances are accelerating • Competence composition is more critical • Ownership is increasingly private • Competition is increasingly present • Expectations are high

  9. Best Practices, Standards or Regulations ? • Regulations • legal process; technical expertise may be compromised • speed: S L O W t o a d j u s t • posture: mandated behavior • Standards • competitive process; influence of strongest competitor wins • speed: M E D I U M t o a d j u s t • posture: implementation ranges from voluntary to mandated • Best Practices • expert process; expertise and experience are trump • speed: FAST to adjust • posture: implementation is voluntary

  10. Seven Principles in Developing Best Practices • “People Implement Best Practices" • Do not endorse commercial or specific "pay for" documents, products or services • Address classes of problems • Already implemented • Developed by industry consensus • Best Practices are verified by a broader set of industry members • Sufficient rigor and deliberation NRIC Best Practices bring the industry’s best minds & experience together to provide guidance that could not be achieved by companies on their own

  11. Seven Guiding Principles for Consensus • Work Is Critical and Urgent . . . Successful completion of our mission is vital to national security 2. High Quality, On-Time Deliverables that Are Trustworthy and Thorough . . . Fulfill applicable Charter requirements and meet the needs of the Nation 3. Clear Objectives . . . For team, and individual participants and organizations 4. Leadership Will Pursue Consensus of Team . . . Also needs to set pace & guide fulfillment of charter 5. Follow a Scientific Approach, Not Merely Collect Subjective Opinions . . . Be objective and practice a disciplined methodology 6. Capture Every Good Idea . . . Welcome new and different perspectives for consideration • Respect for Individuals . . . Open and honest interactions
