CSIAC Webinars - Securing Your Company for Today’s Cyber War: A Three-Pronged Approach to Comprehensive IT Security

In 2015, we continued to see more major cyber attacks than ever before which in turn put pressure on organizations in every industry to have the right measures in place to protect both themselves and their customers. While most organizations already have some sort of security practices in place, many do not have a complete security strategy for end-to-end coverage. In fact, a recent study found 80 percent of CISOs feel they are not properly prepared for today’s cyber war. This talk will detail three critically important aspects to building a complete, end-to-end security strategy. The first, integrate your organization’s operations and security leaders. By doing so, security leaders gain visibility into operation partners, vendors, and practices which allows them to have a complete view of the ecosystem that needs protection. Second, adopt security intelligence/situational awareness processes. Most companies lack the ability to understand where potential threats reside in their infrastructure, which means attacks, can go unnoticed for extended periods of time before they receive a proper response. Third, make your security strategy your own. No security strategy is the same, because every organization has different business critical data and different operations. Each organization needs to take the understanding of their operations and security needs and then apply it to the necessary security steps appropriate for their company.

CSIAC Report - Smart Cities, Smart Bases and Secure Cloud Architecture for Resiliency by Design

Integration of Smart City Technologies to create Smart Bases for DoD will require due diligence with respect to the security of the data produced by Internet of Things (IOT) and Industrial Internet of Things (IIOT). This will increase more so with the rollout of 5G and increased automation "at the edge". Commercially, data will be moving to the cloud first, and then stored for process improvement analysis by end-users. As such, implementation of Secure Cloud Architectures is a must. This report provides some use cases and a description of a risk based approach to cloud data security. Clear understanding, adaptation, and implementation of a secure cloud framework will provide the military the means to make progress in becoming a smart military.
