Why CISO’s Fail, in the words of the author, Barak Engel

Information security is now a really big deal, yet we keep screwing it up. Big breaches are in the news every day, and they are only the tip of the iceberg. Security leaders average less than two years in tenure, and job satisfaction – their own, and others’ of their performance – is lower than that of watching paint dry. Fingers go ablamin’, but in security we just end up pointing them elsewhere.

Why? and more importantly, what can we do about it?

Claimed in its origin by many cultures, the ancient saying “The Fish Stinks from the Head” applies to the emerging discipline of information security, just as much as it does to organizational rot and mis-development. Providing a useful guide for an irreverent look at ourselves, the speaker in this open-to-the-audience talk will touch on both the “why” and the “what to do” parts, while doing his best to make you laugh.

Real-life experiences, both amusing and embarrassing, will be shared liberally.

Speaker Bio: Barak Engel is known for having come up with the concept of “virtual CISO” back when security was a four-letter word that no one could spell. He stubbornly insisted, and ultimately developed a consulting practice around it. Almost two decades later his company, EAmmune, develops and manages security programs for organizations, large and small, across all industries. Barak himself has served as CISO for many of them (e.g. MuleSoft), and often for several at once.

In another clear mark of insanity, he decided to write a book about security management while still actively practicing, rather than from the comfort and safety of retirement. The 2017 book, Why CISOs Fail, keeps getting incredible reviews from those who stumble upon it, delighting Barak every time it happens. It also serves as the inspiration for this talk.

Industrial Control System Cyber Security Design and Regulation

Presented by Michael Cole, CISSP, CCNP – Control System Cybersecurity Analyst – Turlock Irrigation District

In the previous UTC Journal, Jon Stizel described how Ameren is using the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) to improve the maturity of their cybersecurity program with metrics and reporting.  Turlock Irrigation District (TID) has also used the NIST CSF, Energy Sector Cybersecurity Framework Implementation Guidance (ESCFIG) and the Electric Subsector Cybersecurity Capability Maturity Model (ES-C2M2) for its NERC CIP program foundation…

Michael Cole is a Control System Cybersecurity Analyst for the Turlock Irrigation District, where he provides expertise on NERC CIP Standards and Program design. Turlock Irrigation District is a Central California public utility that provides water for irrigation and power to customers in its service area. Michael has a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science, is a Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP), and a Cisco Certified Network Professional (CCNP). Michael has focused on building a NERC CIP Documentation Architecture that is based on the NIST Cyber Security Framework (CSF) and Electric Subsector Cybersecurity Maturity Model (ES-C2M2).

Topic 1:  Security Architecture in a Hybrid state

Speaker Istvan Berko – Security Sales Consultant, PNW, GovEd & Globals

In the past, we have aligned our security architecture through our governed controls and the applicability of these controls to our environments. As the legacy IT architecture is morphing into business-centric functions, the underlying infrastructure and data architecture is changing at pace.  This is resulting in a need to shift our information security perspective and the acceptable residual risk. This talk will discuss the need to adapt and consider some of these newer attack vectors and risks.

• Operational Cloud security controls – New privileged provided to applications from an abstracted privilege management platform
• Controls applicability to SaaS platforms – Do we introduce legacy security to hosted services?
• Network and segmentation architecture – What works and what doesn’t
• DevSecOps and CD/CI and how we enable an SDLC approach to business lead rapid deployment.

Exfiltrating Data through IoT

“Exfiltrating data through the Internet of Things (IoT) provide insights based on research/analysis of data exfiltration vulnerabilities found in IoT protocols (i.e. SSDP, P25, Zigbee, Z-Wave, Wi-Fi, uPnP). With an eye toward mitigating weaknesses in current protocols, this talk addresses future protocol designs to eliminate those weaknesses.  This discussion will delve into the details and demo data exfiltration using IoT protocols. The application of this knowledge will allow you to assess and mitigate these risks as you integrate IoT technologies into your production systems, as well as making informed decisions regarding IoT device and protocol selection.

Privacy by Design – Why It Can’t Wait!

Here are the slides from the presentation: Privacy by Design_ISC2 EB Chapter Meeting 5.10.18

As the U.S. and the rest of the global community continue to rethink what individual privacy entails, and as “big data” is ingested into machine learning/AI, there will continue to be uncertainty of what the future of privacy will look like. This, coupled with news about mass surveillance, user behavior tracking, and targeted advertising have caused developers to take a more defensive approach when designing new services and products. Implementing Privacy by Design (PbD) can help protect organizations in the long run by applying the principles to their development and design activities that enable privacy by default.

Attendees will learn:

• What are the principles of Privacy by Design (PbD)
• Why they are important
• Tips for operationalizing PbD
