BSW #267 - Malcolm Harkins, Paul McKay, Alberto Yepéz
There was a time when the perceived wisdom was to buy best of breed security technologies and that would do for your security program. Trouble of is, none of it integrates with each other or your wider IT. With budgets getting tighter, security pros are being asked to look again at big portfolio security providers and work out whether they can use their offerings to slim down. In this session I'll discuss what I'm hearing from our customers, and some of the things we are starting to see people do to balance the need to optimize cost and efficiency without compromising security protection. Speed, Velocity, and Acceleration. The physics of motion are well documented, and we understand how these scalar and vector quantities differ. In information security and cyber risk management the dynamics are not as well understood which has confused our ability to distinguish between motion and progress. This confusion intensifies our escalating risk cycle by causing a mirage of control that continues to lead us to down a path of compromise and catastrophe, adding to our growing labor and skill deficit. This segment is meant to explore the existing physics and gravitational forces of how we have approached cyber risk management to date, discuss where we are stuck today as well as ideas for a path forward - a reorientation of security operations function so that it is optimized to handle the volume as well as reposition it from an anchor point of continual reaction to one where it can take proactive action in front of the cycle of risk. The heart of these changes is a redefinition of the risk equation we have been using for decades Risk = F (Threat, Vulnerability, Consequence) which while useful initially has created a spray and pray model across most of our organizations. I will explain how to redefine the equation to be Risk = F (Threat, Exploitability, Consequence).

Defining Cyber Risk With Bryan Ware This year, RSAC is happening amidst the backdrop of major geopolitical tensions with cyber impacts; a continued, lingering pandemic and a potential economic downturn that cyber adversaries can and have leveraged to their benefit; and increasing technological innovation. All of this points toward ever-evolving cyber risk. What are some of the key considerations that executives – both ones with cyber expertise and ones without – should keep in mind as they look to not only define cyber risk but also reduce it and ensure operational resiliency? In this segment, we'll hear thoughts from Bryan Ware, the new CEO of LookingGlass Cyber Solutions, former CEO of Next5, a business intelligence and advisory firm, and the first presidentially appointed Assistant Director of Cybersecurity at the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). This segment is sponsored by LookingGlass Cyber. Visit https://securityweekly.com/lookingglass to learn more about them! Is the Market Ready for Integrated Cyber Risk Management? Cyber risk management is now a dynamic practice for security teams and leadership. It requires up-to-date risk intelligence across many factors – external, internal, third parties, cloud posture – to inform the right decisions and enable cyber risk quantification and risk modeling to be more dynamic. Victor will discuss what drove him to leave security leadership and start a company to solve the problems he experienced with cyber risk management and how the market is responding.
