• “Speak business language”
• cliché …but how?
• How do you relate IT risks to
business risks?
Get to know your business

Get to know your business • what does your company really do? • what does your board care about? • what gets your CEO his or her bonus? • what do analysts say about your company? • what do your customers care (or not) about?
What are your company’s business exposures, risks?
• what are your market risks from doing business? • what are your critical business exposures? • how can the CISO/CSO help mitigate those issues?
How can we relate IT to business ‘security’?

How would you convince your CEO that a SQL Injection vulnerability can sink their shareholder value?

Security Ops vs. Security Strategy

Security Operations (SecOps) • Operational security group • Traditional firewall controls • Day-to-day security technology
• Not a separate IT unit (“security”) • Infused into operational IT groups
• server management • network management • desktop management
Security Strategy • IT “risk” advisory consulting • Align to risk management, legal • Review, relate, advise the business
• Independent, small, agile group • Report into CRO, CFO
• eliminate conflict of interest • get “closer to the business”
VS
It is possible to do both
