Bottom line:The unbalanced cyber economics equation

• Attacks are comparatively cheap and easy
• Profits from attacks are enormous
• Little risk of capture
• The perimeter to defend is endless
• We are inherently a generation behind the

attacker

• Defense is hard and costly with little perceived ROI

ISA Cyber Social Contract

• Similar to the agreement that

led to public utility infrastructure dissemination in 20th Century (RoR regulation)

• Infrastructure development --

market incentives.

• We know what to do

technically & operationally, but the economics & strategy are not in place

• Partner at the business plan

level and apply market Incentives from rest of the economy to cyber

Regulation is not the answer

• Cyber problem is not corp. malfeasance
• Technology changes too fast
• General regs meaningless
• Specific regs outdated
• Congress can only regulate US
• Increase cost on US firms=weaken competitiveness
• Drive investment off shore=bad for economy and

bad for security

Problems with cyber security economics

• Consumers think they have more protection than

they do.

• Corporate responsibility is to maximize

shareholder value, not secure the (cyber) boarders

• Federal government is not managing its cyber cost

vulnerabilities

• Most companies don’t recognize their true cyber

costs and hence don’t invest

Problems with corporate cyber economics

• Point of attack in not necessarily the point of cyber
• loss. 3-party has no incentive to max invest
• 3-parties undermine cyber ROI
• Old analysis methods mask modern attacks
• Corporate data “owners’ don’t feel they own the

security of their data

• Organizational problems hinder investment

Organizational Problems

• “The security discipline has so far been skewed to

technology---firewalls, ID management, intrusion detection---instead of risk analysis and intel

• gathering. Security investment must shift from

technology heavy tactical operation it has been to date to an intelligence centric, risk analysis and mitigation philosophy. We have to start addressing the human element of security not just the technical

• ne only then will companies stop being punching

bags.” PWC 2008 Info Survey

Organizational Problems

• “There is still a gap between IT and enterprise risk
• management. Survey results confirm the belief

among IT security professionals that Boards & Sr. Execs are not adequately involved in key areas of enterprise risk security.” CMU Dec. 2008

• 17% have cross organizational security team
• Only 47% have formal risk management plan
• 1/3 of the 47% that had a plan did NOT include

IT risks in the plan----CMU Dec. 2008

Organizational problems

• 75% of companies DO NOT have a Chief Risk

Officer (Delloite 2009)

• 65% of US companies either don’t have a

documented process to assess cyber risk or do not have a person in charge of the process they do “have in place” (Delloite 2009)---which functionally translates into really not having a plan at all.

As a Result of the Organizational problems

• Nearly half (47%) of all the enterprises studied in

the 2009 PricewaterhouseCoopers Information security survey reported they are reducing or deferring the budgets for info security initiatives

• Even though 42% acknowledged “threats to their

information security have increased” and 52% acknowledged the cost reductions make adequate security more difficult to achieve---PWC 2009

President Obama’s Report on Cyber Security

• The United States faces the dual challenge of

maintaining an environment that promotes efficiency, innovation, economic prosperity, and free trade while also promoting safety, security, civil liberties, and privacy rights. (President’s Cyber Space Policy Review page iii)

Security Social Contract: Recommendations to the Obama Administration and the 111th Congress November 2008

Social Contract II

Implementing the Obama Cyber Security Strategy via the ISA Social Contract Model

Cyber Space Policy Review is Pro-Economic

• The Cyber Coordinator will report to the National

Economic Council as well as the National Security Council

• CSPR embraces a enterprise wide risk

management philosophy (including Enterprise Education)

• For the first time the government proposes the use
• f economic incentives to promote better private

sector security

Issues Covered in social Contract 2.0

• Economics of cyber security
• Information sharing
• Supply chain
• Financial Cyber Risk Management
• Analog laws governing digital technology
• Developing automated security standards for

converged media (e.g. VOIP)

Chapter 2: Partnership at the Business Plan Level

• Obama personally rejected regulation of Private

Sector for cyber security

• Gov role to evaluate & create incentives for

adopting good cyber secure policies practices and technologies just as in other areas of economy

• Market incentives endorsed by Obama Cyber

Space Policy Review used as menu for voluntary compliance

ISA Testimony on Incentives (May 1, 2009)

1. R & D Grants 2. Tax incentives 3. Procurement Reform 4. Streamlined Regulations 5. Liability Protection 6. Public Education 7. Insurance 8. SBA loans 9. Awards programs

• 10. Cyber SAFETY Act

Obama’s Report on Cyber Security (May 30, 2009)

The government, working with State and local partners,

should identify procurement strategies that will incentivize the market to make more secure products and services available to the public. Additional incentive mechanisms that the government should explore include adjustments to liability considerations (reduced liability in exchange for improved security or increased liability for the consequences of poor security), indemnification, tax incentives, and new regulatory requirements and compliance mechanisms.

Chapter 3: Information Sharing

• Current model doesn’t work
• Modern business systems too open
• Limited participation in ISACs especially SMEs
• Gov wont give source material, industry won’t give

attack data or important internal information

• Can’t keep out determined attackers
• Once in the systems we have more control over

attackers

Information Sharing-- Incentives

• Large Orgs become designated reporters (gold,

silver etc.) which can be used for marketing

• Rpt C2 sites, (URLs-web sites) not that they have

been breached or internal data

• Gov reports---not source data
• AV community circulate the info for profit
• Small companies able to participate easy and

cheap to block C-2

Securing The IT Supply Chain In The Age of Globalization

November, 2007

Securing the IT Supply Chain

The challenge with supply chain attacks is that a sophisticated

adversary might narrowly focus on particular systems and make manipulation virtually impossible to discover. Foreign manufacturing does present easier opportunities for nation- state adversaries to subvert products; however, the same goals could be achieved through the recruitment of key insiders or other espionage activities. For organizations that have not yet made cyber security a true priority there are other barriers, often primarily economic.” President’s Cyber Space Policy Review May 30, 2009 page 34

Supply Chain Economic Issues

• Secure Foundry unsustainable (think prisons)
• Govt. mandates unsustainable
• We are inherently a global economy
• US firms can’t compete with heavy special burdens
• Mandating security for US firms will hurt

economically, reduce quality and harm security by driving providers off-shore even more

ISA Supply Chain Framework

• 5 Phases, design, fabrication, assembly,

distribution & maintenance

• Remedies to interruption of production, corruption
• f production, discrediting of production and loss
• f control of production
• Legal Support for : unambiguous contracts w/

security measures, responsible corporation w/long term interests, motivation 4 workers and execs, verification & enforcement

2010 Supply Chain Agenda

5 Workshops in first 2 quarters of 2010

• I. Securing the Design and Fabrication Phases.
• II. Securing the Assembly, Distribution, and

Maintenance Phases.

• III. Establishing the Necessary Legal and

Contractual Conditions.

Chapter 4: Enterprise Education focus on $

It is not enough for the information technology workforce to understand the importance of cyber security; leaders at all levels of government and industry need to be able to make business and investment decisions based on knowledge of risks and potential impacts. – President’s Cyber Space Policy Review May 30, 2009 page 15 ISA-ANSI Project on Financial Risk Management

• f Cyber Events: “50 Questions Every CFO

should Ask ----including what they ought to be asking their General Counsel and outside

• counsel. Also, HR, Bus Ops, Public and Investor

Communications & Compliance

Financial Management of Cyber Risk 2010

* Phase I: 50 questions CFOs ask @ Cyber Security

• Complete Phase II responses to the 50 questions

every CFO Should ask operations, HR, risk manager, communications, legal & compliance

• Phase III Separate Programs & best practice for

each organizational section on cyber security

• CIO Net & European Commission request proposals

for EU versions of ISA/ANSI program

Chapter 5 & 6 VOIP standards & Old Laws

The history of electronic communications in the United States reflects

steady, robust technological innovation punctuated by government efforts to regulate, manage, or otherwise respond to issues presented by these new media, including security concerns. The iterative nature of the statutory and policy developments over time has led to a mosaic of government laws and structures governing various parts of the landscape for information and communications security and resiliency. Effectively addressing the fragmentary and diverse nature of the technical, economic, legal, and policy challenges will require a leadership and coordination framework that can stitch this patchwork together into an integrated whole.
