A Litmus Test for Proposed Internet Regulation > Download Presentation
These days, it seems as though every other news article is talking about cyber-crime or cyber-warfare, and discussing how the US Congress intends to control and regulate Internet security.  There are indeed many pieces of prospective legislation, including one recent suggestion from the White House, that are in various stages of approval within the Congress.  While 2011 is a year in which there is a strong expectation of bipartisan progress on this topic, it’s not clear what will pass, nor even how to assess what’s being discussed.  In order to do that, we need a framework that would lay out all of the policy areas that might be needed.  In this presentation, we cover what that would look like.

Location: Elizabethan C&D, 2nd floor

CSIRT Transformation > Download Presentation
In this presentation, Mike Kyle will share how the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) Computer Security Incident Response Team (CSIRT) embarked on a transformation project that has completely restructured and enhanced the program to significantly increase the likelihood of event detection and reduce the incident response time frame in all phases of the program. This team successfully delivered 5 critical change areas including:

  1. Establishment of a talent pipeline
  2. Development of CSIRT training and education
  3. Instantiation of definitive CSIRT processes, standards, and tool lifecycles
  4. Iimplementation of innovative and best-in-class monitoring, analysis and forensic tools spanning the unclassified and classified networks
  5. Cyber security strategic planning and alignment.  

Join this presentation to learn how the result of these initiatives have been a dramatic improvement of the LANL cyber security posture and meaningful reductions in the time frame to identify, contain, and remediate security events.

Kaiser Permanente

Operational Risk Management Project  > Download Presentation
Richard Seiersen will discuss Kaiser Permanente’s Operational Risk Management project and how it applies security intelligence within a GRC framework to allow their organization to identify and prioritize actionable security risk.  This presentation will cover how business intelligence practices are used to automate the collection of enterprise asset data, vulnerability data, and mitigation data into a “single pane of glass.” “Risk tolerance rules,” then operate on the aforementioned data, creating workflow for the purpose of protecting Kaiser's critical assets.  The net result is a highly scalable and automated full-stack framework for addressing both vulnerability remediation and associated mitigation up and in the systems stack.

University of California’s Risk Insurance Program > Download Presentation
In this presentation, Grace Crickette will discuss how her team’s efforts at the University of California have resulted in a savings (in terms of reducing the UC’s cost of risk) by $493,000,000, nearly a half of a BILLION dollars.  This feat was accomplished through many avenues including the development of the UC’s Cyber Risk Insurance Program which incents IT departments at the campus and med center level to adhere to a set of achievable IT Security standards in order to gain access to insurance coverage in the instance of data breaches, etc.  Grace will share how this has lead to an overall greater adherence to UC’s IT Security standards across the board and reduced overall claims costs associated with security and data breaches.
