Network Security – Measuring the Immeasurable
Security is inherently intangible, so answering questions such as "Is my network secure?” are considerably complex. The ultimate goal is the absence of a breach – how do you measure and show improvement to your internal and external audience? The traditional approach has been to measure activity – all of the processes that can be recorded: How many times did you change the firewall? How many patches did you deploy? How many times did you update your antivirus signatures? While collecting this data may pacify the auditors, the problem is that you’re measuring busyness, not your business. In this webinar featuring Securosis analyst and president Mike Rothman, we will explore: •Today’s security metrics – what most organizations are collecting today vs actionable and useable metrics for decision support •What and how to communicate network security metrics – internal vs external audiences •Practical measurement of risk – technology to assess how well your work is preventing problems
