Containing Costs of Incident Investigations: Security Event Management First, Forensic Analysis Second
Speaker: Michael Montecillo, EMA Security Analyst in their Security and Risk Management Practice and Sunil Bhargava, Chief Technology Officer, Intellitactics
The continued proliferation of security breaches and regulatory mandates requiring consumer notification in the event of a breach has made incident investigation a requirement in many enterprises. Public disclosure and the need to manage resulting negative exposure has driven the need to be as responsive and accurate as possible when reporting the scope of a breach. Organizations must therefore rapidly investigate incidents to determine the actual extent of an incident.
What do we need to do streamline the investigative process and reduce its cost burden? How can forensic analysis reduce the cost of incident investigation? Why is the use of security event management critical in determining whether, given the firm’s risk management strategy, incurring the costs of a forensic investigation is warranted?
Information Security in Healthcare – Why Compliance Pays
Speaker: Frank Irving, Editor, ADVANCE for Health Information Executives
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) require health care organizations to enforce security controls that promote the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of all personal health information. HIPAA requires that these organizations use risk-based methods to protect this information and comply with guidelines for achieving minimum information security levels. Failure to comply with these rules can lead to penalties ranging from fines to imprisonment, as well as damage to the reputation of the organization and its leaders. The mandates are clear, yet health care organizations continue to suffer from lack of management support and struggle with implementing effective and efficient information security best practices. Recognizing that health care organizations have become increasingly dependent on information and technology to deliver health care services, taking steps to protect that information becomes a high priority. Meeting this need necessitates senior leadership focus on effective information security governance and support, which requires integration of security into the strategic and daily operations of an organization.
Managing Risk by Monitoring Controls
Speaker: Matt Mosley, CISSP, CISA & Sr Technical Account Director at Intellitactics
With the continuing attention on regulatory compliance, many organizations are still investing significant time and money in an attempt to protect themselves from negative audit findings. Some investment choices are successful in the short term, but many organizations have discovered that passing an audit does not necessarily make an organization more secure. A more effective strategy for enterprise risk management starts with a security policy and risk assessment, and is maintained through the use of controls to protect critical information assets. Incorporating control frameworks within a security program enables efficiencies in identifying and assessing threats, correcting vulnerabilities, and ultimately minimizing the impact to the availability of critical business services. Join Intellitactics for a discussion on managing risk by implementing and monitoring the performance of controls and an examination of an approach that minimizes the impact and cost of audits while increasing the overall security posture of the organization.
Information Security: Key to Achieving Agency Mission Goals
Speakers: Elizabeth Chew, Supervisory IT Specialist from NIST Computer Security Division and Sunil Bhargava, Chief Technology Officer, Intellitactics
In striving to fulfill their missions, agencies are increasingly confronted by dynamic operational environments laced with changing threats, vulnerabilities, and technologies. They face challenges ranging from managing large, complex information technology infrastructures to complying with laws, regulations, and standards. The confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information is paramount to being able to deliver on the mandate of these agencies, yet information security programs often suffer from lack of management commitment and inadequate resources. As organizations become increasingly dependent on information and technology, taking steps to protect that information becomes a high priority. Faced with integrating security into the strategic and daily operations of a business, security executives are asking -
What do we need to do to recognize and manage information security risks? What should we be doing to closely align security with business or mission goals? How can an organization overcome the obstacles of inadequate management commitment and resources and appreciate the gains achieved through implementing effective security practices?
- The importance of and benefits to be gained from investing in information security
- The key areas that agencies need to focus on to accomplish their information security goals
- The laws, regulations and standards that agencies need to understand & resources available to help
Pragmatic Approach to Managing Security Investment
Speakers: Dr Warren Axelrod, a prominent writer, speaker and information security executive, is responsible for privacy and information security at a prominent New York financial firm and Pam Casale, Chief Marketing Officer, Intellitactics.
Two popular questions: Are we spending enough to ensure the desired security posture? and How much security spending is enough? are asked in boardrooms of security conscious companies around the world. These questions are difficult to answer because today's spending is 'enough' as long as the enterprise is secure and 'not enough' the day after a security breach makes the headlines. What is needed today is a pragmatic approach for assessing the current security posture and determining whether security spending is in fact enough to sustain the state of security.

How will the decisions made to converge IT operations and security preserve the resources that are essential to maintaining the competitive advantage of the business?
Security Spending On The Rise – How to Justify Spending and Communicate Effective Programs
Speaker: Khalid Kark, Senior Security Analyst with Forrester Research
Security Metrics, Meaningful Reports and Proactive Security Practices Are Essential to Effective Security Programs
Companies and federal agencies alike are discovering that spending more doesn’t necessarily translate into increased security effectiveness. Security continues to be a top priority, but there is never enough money or resources to do everything. Forrester’s advice and guidance is valuable for every manager who is looking to increase visibility for security programs.
Fraud Hits Where it Hurts Most — The Bottom Line. The Best Defense – A Strong Offense
Speaker: Sunil Bhargava, Chief Technology Officer, Intellitactics
Fraud management is mission-critical. Global statistics show an increase in both the number of incidents of fraud and the loss per incident. In the United States, the Federal Trade Commission identified a 34% increase in total fraud between 2003 and 2005, when the fraud bill reached $648 million, and has recently reported that fraud cost $1.2B in 2006. The Association for Payment Clearing Services revealed that online fraud losses in Great Britain increased 55% in 2006 over 2005. While compliance has created more attention and spending to prevent fraud, only sound management practices protect organizations from fraudsters and more important, prevent erosion of trust between companies and their customers.
High Priority - Management of Risk
Speakers: Scott Crawford, Senior Analyst with Enterprise Management Associates and Sunil Bhargava, Chief Technology Officer, Intellitactics
In recent years, IT has been confronted with a range of challenges unlike any seen before.
- Corporate embarrassment and substantial losses due to regulatory penalties have prioritized security threats for IT and for executives faced with the threat of non-compliance.
- Regulatory compliance continues to impose accountability that strain resources already under pressure to do more with less.
- Service levels to support the priorities for the business require that IT must assure the governance of IT integrity, performance and availability.
