Stan will be presenting “Cyber: Left of Bang!“
“Security is a process, not a product…”
The Process of Security, by Bruce Schneier. Information Security April 2000
“…not if, but when…”
Unknown
If then, else…If “security is a process; not a product”, then we should be able to apply process improvement techniques, like: define, measure, analyze, improve and control to our cyber security strategies and business programs. Moving from a reactive nature, to more of an awareness and preparedness posture. Enterprises are beginning to focus more-and-more on “detection-and-prevention” strategies rather than simply depending on respond/response.
Left of Bang! We must focus more on “left of bang” processes/procedures, like awareness and preparedness, before the bad stuff happens. Hackers and bad-actors use the “cyber kill chain” process to infiltrate and exfiltrate and we know this. We must derail or disrupt the process before the BIG-BANG… Define, measure analyze, improve and control – rinse and repeat! When you are left of bang you can identify some of the prevention indicators that exist before an infiltration, breach, and during reconnaissance. This gives enough time to be proactive or left of the BANG!
We will briefly chat about these defensible actions:
Workforce Development
Detection, Deny, Disrupt, Degrade, Deceive, and Containment
