- 24. Job Descriptions • Formal description of a position, including • Job title • Work experience requirements • Knowledge requirements • Responsibilities
- 25. Culture • Attitudes, practices, communication styles, ethics, etc. • Many organizations don't regard information security as important • So the security manager must promote security awareness in subtle ways • Developing a "culture within a culture"

- 41. Return on Security Investment (ROSI) • Security improvements don't increase revenue or lower costs • The benefit is risk reduction • Difficult to justify to management
- 42. Administrative Activities Business Case Development
- 43. Business Case • The rationale for making a business investment • Used to justify making an investment • And to support management of the investment later • Explains the benefits of the investment
- 44. Feasibility • Feasibility study • Defines the business problem • Describes a number of potential solutions • Business case should go further • And include figures for costs and benefits
- 45. Business Case Contents • Business problem • Feasibility study results • Increased revenue or efficiency analysis • High-level project plan • Timeline and number of people • Budget • Metrics • Risks
- 47. Trust Relationships • Security managers need deep, trusted relationships with security services vendors • Must confide challenges to a vendor • And get advice that will benefit the business • Not just make a sale
- 49. Security Program Operations Topics • In this lesson • Event Monitoring • Vulnerability Management
- 50. Security Program Operations Topics • For future lessons • Secure Engineering and Development • Network Protection • Endpoint Protection and Management • Identity and Access Management

- 54. Centralized Log Managment • All the events are sent to a log server • Archives events so they can be reviewed • Used by the SEIM (next slide)
- 55. SEIM (Security Event and Incident Management) • A system that correlates events from many sources • Splunk is the industry leader
- 56. Threat Intelligence • SIEMs can ingest threat intelligence feeds • External sources of adversary information • Such as IP addresses of known attackers
- 57. Orchestration • A scripted, automated response • Automatically or manually triggered when specific events occur • Automates repetitive tasks • Makes response much faster

- 60. Scanning Tools

- 62. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) • Open framework • Rates vulnerabilities from 0 to 10 • Includes exploitability, impact, and complexity
- 63. Vulnerability Identification Techniques • Security scan • With an automated tool • Penetration test • People simulating an attacker • Social engineering assessment • Phishing or other attacks against humans
- 64. Patch Management • Adding vendor patches to IT systems, tools, and applications • Only the smallest organizations can do it manually • Automated tools ensure that all systems are patched consistently
