Translating Security Leadership into Board Value
By RSA | 12/5/2017

What Boards Want to Know and CISOs Need to Say

Seven years ago in the SBIC report Bridging the CISO-CEO Divide, we explored the best practices security leaders could use to communicate more effectively with their C􀀁Os. CISOs were at a crossroads and just beginning to take a seat at the executive table. We provided recommendations from global leaders about ways CISOs could embrace their growing leadership role, build trust with the executive leadership team and earn the confidence of their C􀀁O. We discussed how harting a new course based on a strategic, risk-based approach to information security would drive clear business value.

A New Paradigm For Identity Assurance
By RSA | 1/3/2017

The criminals, hacktivists, and others trying to breach corporate cybersecurity are just like anyone else: they want to accomplish their mission as efficiently as possible. So why focus on compromising an organisation's access device or infrastructure? That’s not where the action is.

Advanced threats today target what is on either side of those systems: the user sitting at the keyboard, and the corporate data he or she has access to as part of the job. The goal for the attacker is to compromise identities, impersonate legitimate users to glide past security controls, find valuable data, and glide back out undetected.

In addition, stolen passwords were responsible for major thefts of records from Best Buy and Twitter. This paper will show why any size organization can be a target; and how the legal and threat environment—combined with BYOD and cost factors—make multi-factor, risk based authentication the logical approach to solving the problem.

Yet many key functions and departments the deal with related information and business processes remain siloed.
