Identity is the New Perimeter Part I -The Evolution of Identity

It's been said that defensive driving is about "driving for the other cars on the road." The same can be said for setting your organization's security strategy and "to think like your enemy". It's a sound practice which focuses on infosecurity practitioners putting themselves in the shoes of their attackers and anticipating where the next threat may be coming from. Using advanced analytics to compile simplified reporting can help to streamline your these efforts, enabling you to more clearly see the threats the attackers may be using and helping you to react faster.

With data breaches and data leakage incidents becoming front page news, cyber investigations are taking on more importance within organizations. This calls for a new set of skills to be developed such as the ability to work with all levels of law enforcement, lawyers and attorneys and within the judicial system. Many of these investigations will call for the cybersecurity practitioner to be a witness and give testimony. What's the best way to do this to protect yourself and the organization, while also providing the information that will help law enforcement and the justice system to get the information they need? Join (ISC)2 on March 26, 2015 at 1:00PM Eastern for our next "From the Trenches" webcast where we'll talk about what it means to be an expert witness and the best practices for serving as one.

Already tasked with protecting companies from a vast domain of ever-changing threats, Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) and other security leaders must now prepare for more avenues of attack as well as more sophisticated attackers. Research from the IBM Centre for Applied Insights pinpoints what worries today’s security leaders and what they’re doing to address those concerns. We also identify several actions that security leaders can take to help their companies manage the approaching uncertainties in information security.

Threat and adversarial information has become easily accessible and gone mainstream in the last couple of years. However managing the threat lifecycle, can still be challenging for organizations continuously under pressure for the next attack and low on resources. Prioritizing threats, managing incidents and neutralizing the attackers successfully requires dedicated tools, processes as well as broad adoption by the IT Security staff.
