  1. A brief introduction to eramba cOcOn – International Cyber Security & Policing Conference September 2013, Trivandrum, India.

  2. What this is all about? Open-source tools for Security Governance • eramba, an open-source tool that (hopefully) simplifies Governance. • A little talk about the definition, benefits and challenges of Information Security Governance. • This is a useful chat for current and future Security and Compliance Managers, Leaders, Etc. • %110 based on enterprise level experiencesand necesities.

  3. Information Security Governance A hugely general view on the matter. • Governance is mostly about making decisions. • Decisions need (among many other things) accurate, sufficient, applicable information. • Real life is not like that at all. • Lack of information ends up with shortcut decisions and answers: Assumptions, best guesses, etc. (basically problems)

  4. Benchmark your Governance Typical Security Governance Q&A’s • Classical Security Governance questions: • How much does your Security program cost? Where can we make it more efficient? • How much risk are we mitigating? How much that costs? • Which are our core Security Controls? How well they work? How much they cost? • What controls are key to comply with PCI-DSS? Are they working fine? • How well are we for the next audit? Which compliance GAPS exist? • Wouldn’t be great to have factual information to reply all this?

  5. Who is behind eramba A little bit of our astonishing success… • We have been working on eramba since May 2011 • One year Proof of Concept (multinational with more than 3k employees, 13+ branch offices and a lot of compliance noise) and ISO/IEC 27001 Certification. • Published on internet in April 2013. • We have users all around (~30 downloads/month). • We got sponsorship for conferences, better software development (btw, we need more sponsors!) and more POCs!

  6. So, what is eramba? A hugely general view on the matter. • It helps Security Departments to • In a simple way, it collectsonly the needed data about your Security Program. • Relates this data and grows information(no additives! %100 organic!) • Visualize the information in a useful way. • Helps you making sound decisions • Simplifies reporting to your management. • WARNING: Your organization must adopt and understand Security Governance before you can really use eramba.
