COMPREHENSIVE IT SECURITY HEALTH PANEL

(1)External Facing Systems(2)Firewall Internal Systems (systems used by employees, mail services, activesync, vpn, etc.)(3) Do your company PCs have an anti-virus program?

EXECUTION PLAN – IT ROADMAP - PRIORITIZATION

Year Over Year Comparison

When you spend a $ What boats are effected?

External Facing Systems (systems used by external public/customers)– Do you have an up to date list of all systems presented to the public or customers

including services in use?• How many are there? (answer the next set by # based on yes count)

– Are the front end user interfaces behind an application filter security device with active blocking capability beyond layer ¾ firewall?

– Does the application filter block all high risk issue?– Does the application filter block all medium risk issues?– Do you have any exceptions for sites or subsites on the application filter?– Does this system terminate ssl or encryption?– Is the application or db tier in a different zone/subnet/across a security boundary?– Is the communication between the front end and the next tier unencrypted so the

security systems can review cross tier traffic?– Do you formally audit to ensure that these settings are active and working:

• Monthly• Quarterly• Yearly

• Firewall Internal Systems (systems used by employees, mail services, activesync, vpn, etc.)– Are all non-security devices behind a firewall?– Is the firewall a full UTM with services active and in automated blocking

mode for high risk items?– Is the firewall a full UTM with services active and in automated blocking

mode for medium risk items?– Are all inbound rules configured explicit in at least two of the following:

source, destination and protocol.– Do you formally audit to ensure that these settings are active and

working:• Monthly• Quarterly• Yearly

Anti-Virus PC – Do your company PCs have an anti-virus program?– How often are definitions updated?

• Multiple times a day• Daily• Weekly or more

– Do you run centrally managed antivirus?– Are alerts for viruses, service failures, and update problem sent to staff?– Do you exclude any pc from AV?– What percent of systems are covered (I.e. do you skip Macs, Linux etc)– How often do you check for gaps in coverage

• Weekly• Monthly• Quarterly

– How often do you audit scanning exclusions for files and processes?• Quarterly• Twice a year• Yearly

– Is there an approval process prior to allowing exclusions?

• Email Encryption and DLP– Do you have a system that automatically audits mail messages for context

driven content (PII, PCI, Confidential, etc)– Do you formally audit to ensure that the system is are active and working:

• Monthly• Quarterly• Yearly

– Can anyone opt out of the system?– Does the system encrypt, reject, or redact ALL emails that fail the

automatic audit?– Does the system allow external parties to initiate and reply in an

encrypted fashion?– Do you formally audit to ensure that the policies used and look for gaps?

• Monthly• Quarterly• Yearly

My Vision for You is to Reign in Complexity

But this is only a Blood Panel……What do you do about it?

Overall Gaps

• Based on the review a lot of good mature security technologies exist however the following is required:– Additional implementation work is required to realize

the full impact of the solution– Review system X to ensure intended use is in line with

current state of the system. Currently this is not the case

– A proactive process of managing security systems A, B and C need to be developed in order to ensure security

Action Plan Step 1

• Concentrate on validating and hardening what is in place– Perform an user account audit– Perform an edge security audit– Enable Varonis to provide proactive security– Enable Secret Server to harden the environment

Action Plan Step 2

• Two technologies that can be added to bolster security, especially if HIPAA compliance is desired– Endpoint security for USB device security– ZixGateway for Email Encrytion and DLP

Software is Eating the World

Quote “Everything that Humans are Inefficient at will be eaten by Software.”

APIs & Algorithms

NIH – Gut Health - Microbiome

Micro- Experiments

• NIH data sets – Gut Health example• Fail fast and forward• Push projects to the edge. Starve the edge.

• Start small with innovation pockets/ Labs• Apply Design Thinking & Lean Startup

Mentality• Align with people who have entrepreneurial

tendencies within the company• Principle of Innovation at the edge of the

company

Staffing to Build Expertise

Community and Crowds

Bigger Thinking - Exponential

World Wide Expansion

MTP – Massive Transformational Purpose

• Identify and avoid corporate anti-bodies• Pay attention to when you disbelieve to avoid

being disrupted during the curve when the technology seems odd or weird

What to Avoid

Summary – Offense Take-aways• Learn to play offense - Join an innovation group like mine or

someone else's• Be surrounded by ideas and people who think similar• You are the average of the 5 people you hang around• Build systems at the edge• Avoid corp anti-bodies• Pay attention to Lean and Design Thinking as it applies to

innovation (Joy, Inc, Exponential Org)• Forget Big Data – Think Little Data• Understand who your disruptors are? Technologies in Health?

Disruptive business practices, Communities, blockchain, algorithms, & APIs

Offense Take-aways

• You don’t need permission to add revenue….• Are you retiring in the next 5 years?• It is a mindset first (for you) then a culture thing• Neuroscience The Brain of a Leader thinking

Exponentially • IoT & Dashboards• Remember - role of offense and defense • Financial Statements of the business – Point in Time

versus Progress over Time.

Defense Take-aways

• Play defense hard. Don’t play ping pong. Settle into strategy and risk. Which will drive all tactical execution.

• Embrace IT Security complexity with strategy. Eliminate overlapping technology confusion. Data Governance, privacy, risk – understand context.

• Flush out unnecessary costs• Create Defensible Arguments/Plans• Forget Big Data – Think Little Data• Take a multi-year approach
