  1. Managing Threats in Changing World John DeGroot Lead Architect – Security, RBC Federation of Security Professionals – October 26, 2012

  2. Trends • Canada’s auditor general report on cyber-security • Failure to pass US 2012 Cybersecurity Act • Cyber attack on Canadian government in 2011 • DDOS attacks on US banks • Many others

  3. Evolution of Threats

  4. What is changing? • APT – Advanced Persistent Threats • Targeted • Highly motivated • Well-financed • Coordinated across attack points • Will try multiple times using multiple methods • Cloud computing and mobility increase complexity and attack surface Evolutionary, not revolutionary change

  5. What is the same? • Same bad guys • Same motivation Using new tools, operating in IT world, leveraging the cloud

  6. Where are the gaps? • Defenses are strongly attack-oriented • Signature-based defenses geared to single general attacks • Controls are strongly people-oriented • Awareness programs, discretionary security, application development • Defenses often deployed in silos • Security “bolted on” • Defense in Depth • Layers rather than breadth

  7. Integrated Defense 7

  8. Toward Integrated Defense • Acknowledge reality • The bad guys are already in • Denial of service attacks will cause outages • You will be attacked • Understand your business • Integrate with operational risk management • Proactive approach to threat management • Threat modeling and predictive analysis • What does a coordinated attack look like? • Prepare for attack and test your response • Behavior analysis – good and bad

  9. Toward Integrated Defense • Security by design • Embed security into processes, applications, data, and infrastructure • Move from discretionary to policy-driven security • Simplify and automate • Virtual security operations centre • Provide complete visibility into operational environment • Provide useful and relevant information • Provide effective intelligence – inside and out • Share information and services • Invest in people with threat management skills
