  1. Defending the Digital Frontier

  2. Rudy Giuliani’s Call to Action The time has come for senior executives of U.S. corporations to follow the President's lead and make security a mainstream business critical, board-level issue…the time when security-related decisions could be left to persons at a mid-manager level or decided solely upon budgetary considerations has passed. Senior executives must now take the steps to plan, prepare and practice to address their organizational security threats and challenges.

  3. Digital Security Breach:The True Cost Cost $15 to $20 million or 1% to 1.5% of Sales per Incident Tangible Losses Intangible Losses • Lost Productivity • IT Support Costs • IT systems/software • Damage to Brand • Third party liability • Loss of customer/ supplier confidence The greatest loss as a result of an IT security breach is the intangible impact

  7. What is the Digital Frontier? The digital frontier is the forward edge of technological impact with respect to organizations’ usage of technology and their reliance upon it for productivity improvements. High ProductivityImprovement Mobile Relianceon IT Internet Client/Server MF Low 1970s 1980s 1990s 2000s Low IT Usage High

  8. Increase Security Risks As organizations invest for productivity improvement to the edge of digital frontier they also encounter increased security risks via a greater impact of and probability of technology failures. High Mobile Increased Risk Impact of Failure Internet Client/Server MF Low 1970s 1980s 1990s 2000s Probability of Failure Low High

  9. The Security Frontier The digital frontier and corresponding security risk combine to create a new frontier. We call this the security frontier. High ProductivityImprovement/Increased Risk Reliance on ITImpact of Failure Low 1970s 1980s 1990s 2000s Low IT UsageProbability of Failure High

  10. The Digital Security Gap Caught up in the pursuit of productivity improvements, management apparently overlooked security. High Total IT Spending DigitalSecurityGap TotalSpending Low Total Security Spending 1990’s Time 2000’s

  11. 6 Key Security Characteristics

  12. BusinessObjectives 1) Aligned The attainment and maintenance of appropriate alignment between digital security, the IT organization, digital asset and business objectives. DigitalAssets The distance between the top levels of management and the security team is known as theSecurity Management Gap. Aligned ITOrganization 79% of respondents in the 2002 Ernst & Young Digital Security Overview survey indicated that the documentation, implementation, and follow-through cycle for their information security policies was not being carried out completely. DigitalSecurity

  13. 2) Enterprise-Wide A holistic view of the security needs for the entire organization, as well as its extended enterprise, to ensure consistent, efficient deployment. Critical authority is given to a centralized body to ensure consistently highly effective security throughout the organization. Corporate 86% of companies surveyed have intrusion detection systems in place. However, of those companies, only 35% actively monitor 95% to 100% of their critical servers for intrusions.

  14. 3) Continuous Real-time monitoring and updating of all security policies, procedures, and processes to ensuring a timely response to issues and opportunities. Not occasionally. Not periodically. Continuously. 46% of respondents indicated that they use manual or partially automated methods of tracking physical assets as opposed to fully automated methods.

  15. 4) Proactive Periodic Assessment The ability of a security program to be able to effectively anticipate potential threats and vulnerabilities and to maintain the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of these digitally. Ongoing Monitoring Initial Assessment High Proactive RiskIntelligence Traditional Only 16% percent of respondents have wide-scale deployment of vulnerability tracking mechanism, and knowledge of all critical information vulnerabilities. Low Time

  16. 5) Validated Achieving highly effective digital security requires third-party validation of critical security components and business objectives. 3rd Party Validated Peer Tested Self 66% of respondents indicated that their information security policies are not in complete compliance with the domains defined by ISO 17799, CISSP, Common Criteria, or other recognized models. Deployed To a Unit To a Standard To a Business Objective Rigor of Validation

  17. 6) Formal Policies, standards, and guidelines, which provide fundamental direction on digital security issues and are endorsed by senior staff. To be formal, they must be documented and tested, then communicated to every member of the organization. Documented Formal Highly Documented Situational Experienced-based Minimally 13% of respondents have integrated business continuity and disaster recovery plans that address recovering the entire enterprise. 7% indicated they have no documented plans in place. Minimally Highly Confirmed

  42. Highly Effective Security Cultures: • are chief executive-driven • maintain a heightened sense of awareness • utilize a digital security guidance council • establish timetables for success and monitor progress • drive an enterprise-wide approach The level commitment of organization’s personnel to the principles of security will determine the success or failure of the digital security program.
