Measure the Immeasurable: Translating Risk to Executives  > Download Presentation
What does "we stopped 24,476 malware attacks today" mean to an executive? Not much without context. The challenge with reporting metrics is that executive don't always understand "why" they should care, as most measurements only speak to what can be measured vs. what should be measured. As security executives we need to talk less about the bits and bytes and more about what is critical to the business. If you do, you'll find the path to true partnership with the C-suite is not as difficult as exploiting an OpenSSL De-allocation vulnerability. In this session you will learn concrete strategies that will help your organization "get there" and contextualize security - for executives and the business alike. Learn how to create a repeatable, successful strategy to communicate IT risk-to-business risk to build an open line of communication, prioritize issues, and possibly gain more resources to fix the problem right.

Merchant Fraud - Advances in 21st Century Robbery  > Download Presentation
Merchant fraud is today’s digital analogy to crimes that once required a physical presence to commit. It is a dimension of business that needs as much attention to policy, process and enforcement as the more traditional information security functions. Fraud can financially devastate businesses and merchants with repercussions that may last for years, if they are ever resolved. Although no one may be physically injured, the crime can still be a traumatic experience for both merchants and employees. Efforts are underway to mitigate fraudsters' capabilities to commit malicious digital merchant fraud acts, but, as we will explore in this presentation, more needs to be done.

Cracking the CEO Barrier and Making Security a Top Corporate Priority  > Download Presentation
In this presentation we will learn how Lee transformed the security program and security culture at Parsons in the past 12 months. Arriving into his new role with only two employees on the existing team, Lee immediately began to assess the high risk areas and communicate those to risks, as well as investment strategies to the CEO and to the Board of Directors. In one year, Lee has met one on one with the CEO no less than twelve times and presented to the Board of Directors on four occasions. This risk based approach, coupled with effective marketing of security to the highest level of the corporation, resulted in growing his team from 2 to 20 security professionals, tripling his operating budget, and the creation of a state of the art security operations center all in the past year.

Sallie Mae's Enterprise-wide Continuous Monitoring Program and Vulnerability Scanning Process Evolution  >
Download Presentation

In 2011, Sallie Mae's information security team realized the need to replace its vulnerability scanning process as a way to better secure its expanding computing infrastructure within an increasingly constrained budgetary environment. Brian will share how after evaluating the potential impact on its systems, the team initiated this complex task knowing that significant reengineering of the company's processes would be required. Committed to the end result, the team moved from periodic, compliance-oriented scanning to full implementation of a new enterprise-wide continuous monitoring program in record time, more than doubling scanning coverage while realizing an annual cost savings of 31% over the next 5 years.
