[Video Interview] The Cyber Year in Review: Ian Glover, President, CREST

Cybersecurity policies meant to protect sensitive information are often misunderstood, avoided, or circumvented by employees. Employees don’t like to be inconvenienced by the extra steps necessary for protection that to them seem unnecessary. This can be compounded by a complex cybersecurity environment with multiple competing standards that seem similar but have unique approaches, naming conventions, and acronyms.

This session will discuss how to solve these challenges by creating cooperative compliance. Cooperative compliance starts by understanding the entire risk environment based on the NIST SP 800-171 Framework, a foundational minimum for confidentiality and integrity. Using the NIST framework and straightforward messaging for employees, cooperative compliance communicates the reasons for cybersecurity inconveniences and protection.

Key takeaways:
•Define cooperative compliance
•Define and describe the cybersecurity foundational minimum
•Describe communication strategies
•Provide practical approaches based on the foundational minimum
•Comment on useful tools, techniques, and approaches

We will discuss the Good, the Bad and the Ugly of Role Based Access Control. We will review access control in systems where multiple roles are fulfilled and compare MAC, DAC and RBAC.

We will present the "next generation" authorization model that provides dynamic, context-aware and risk-intelligent access control. We will discuss Identity Management, Data Discovery, AI, policy-based access control (PBAC), claims-based access control (CBAC) and key standards, including XACML and ALFA.

The upcoming PCI DSS version 4.0 will include many new or revised requirements and compensating controls will be removed It will include support for a range of evolving payment environments, technologies, and methodologies for achieving security. PCI DSS v4.0 further supports the use of different new technologies. The new validation option gives organizations the flexibility to take a customized approach to demonstrate how they are meeting the security intent of each PCI DSS requirement. This customized approach supports organizations using security approaches that may be different than traditional PCI DSS requirements.

Through customized validation, entities can show how their specific implementation meets the intent and addresses the risk. Unlike compensating controls, customized validation will not require a business or technical justification for meeting the requirements using alternative methods, as the requirements will now be outcome-based.

We will discuss how PCI DSS v4 may impact:

- Implementation of the new “Customized Controls”
- Cloud implementations
- Compliance cost
- Changes in liability
- Relation to the 49 new US State Laws
- PII and PI privacy
- Measure data re-identifiability for pseudonymization.
- Apply data protection to discovered sensitive data

All organizations face ongoing threats from phishing attacks, insider threats, and other trajectories. It is evident that no organization will be able to hire or afford enough cyber security to mitigate or intercept every risk. Security strategy has to start with building a culture in which every employee is responsible for information security. A culture that imbues employee with the training and situational awareness to identify and respond (or not respond, as the case may be) to incoming threats. This webinar explores ways to move beyond everyday security awareness to an integrated security culture.

The insider threat continues to top all IT security threats. Conventional threat prevention measures primarily consist of annual security training and inserting security early into a project/product lifecycle to ensure incorporation throughout the design. However, these methods have stagnated in mitigating the largest category of insider threat: unintentional/non-malicious.
 
This presentation provides anecdotal and empirical evidence via a real-life use case,metrics, and testimonials of soft skills as essential characteristics for a modern organization’s security evolution.  Specifically, it addresses the universal reality of internal-organization perceptions of security. New soft skill methods are then offered to overcome communication barriers with internal and external business/technology partners while also promoting a continual working relationship. The result of these improved relationships is project teams viewing security as an essential team member during all phases of an application/product lifecycle, plus the increased security of applications/products released. Secondary gains include maximizing cooperation and collaboration, creating opportunities to teach security concepts and proactively build security into the team’s processes and procedures, and fostering a team’s willingness to self-report security findings and vulnerabilities. As a whole, these behaviors exemplify a security culture that prevents and mitigates the unintentional/non-malicious insider threat.

The CISO position is now a multifaceted role that encompasses technical capabilities, legal/GRC requirements, and personnel and project management - all while not losing sight of the main objective: business enablement. This webinar will discuss what is important today for both new CISOs who are building their nascent security programs and seasoned CISOs who are maturing their established security programs.

Topics covered will include:

- Strategic initiatives that are top of mind for security leaders
- Optimal combinations of in-house and outsourced talent
- Technology essentials and non-essentials
- Communicating reports, metrics, and other pertinent information to stakeholders

In cyber security the strategic goals are often clear, while the methods to achieve those goals is anything but. This webinar introduces Damrod’s Cyber Strategic Framework that applies military analysis to cyber security challenges. Aimed at security teams trying to implement high level goals in the real world, this talk focuses on effects based planning that integrates disparate elements of IT and security into a cohesive package. Defending the network is about more than technology. Analysis and leadership are critical elements of an effective cyber defense. You will leave this webinar better equipped to develop the tactics that make strategy a reality.

This presentation will discuss the current sprawl of different firewall and micro-segmentation appliances and software agents and present an approach on how to solve this challenge.

Today different firewalls and micro-segmentation tools and agents are deployed for network zones, bare metal servers, virtual machines and container environments. This implementation of many disparate security tools creates operational and security problems. To eliminate these challenges, new approach will be introduced which moves services security to the server edge.

New architecture approach to distributed firewalls and micro-segmentation will be elaborated on. Benefits of new edge services security will be demonstrated. Attendees will learn how to take control and implement security at the server edge.

Businesses are reinventing themselves, leveraging technology and data to optimize and find new streams of revenue. This session will look backwards over the last year and discuss the threat landscape. We will then look into the future and examine the impact of digital transformation and how that is impacting threats and risk. Finally, We will examine how the enterprise can build security and resilience into the business of tomorrow.
