ISA Cyber Social Contract • Similar to the agreement that led to public utility infrastructure dissemination in 20 th Century • Infrastructure development -- market incentives • Consumer protection through regulation • Gov’t. role is more creative—harder— motivate, not mandate, compliance • Industry role is to develop practices and standards and implement them
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) • Quoting from Internet Security Alliance Cyber Security Social Contract: Recommendations to the Obama Administration and the 111th Congress November 2008
ISA Obama CSPR Major Points of Agreement • Cyber Security is a priority national issue • White House needs to take leadership role • Need an Enterprise Wide Risk Management approach to cyber security • Cyber security is as much a strategic & economic issue as an operational & technology issue • Private Sector is on the front lines of the cyber security defense, hence need partnership • Market incentives, not regulation, must be deployed to enhance private sector cyber security
Social Contract II Implementing the Obama Cyber Security Strategy via the ISA Social Contract Model
Chapter 1: Economics of Cyber Security • All the current incentives favor the bad guys • Attacks are cheap, easy, very profitable & the perimeter to attack is virtually limitless • Defense can be hard, expensive, a generation behind the attackers and ROI is hard to show • Cost of cyber attacks are not transparent • So long as the economic equation of cyber security is unbalanced we will have attacks
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 of economic incentives to promote better private sector security
Chapter 2: Partnership at the Business Plan Level • Studies, CIA, NSA all say we know how to solve 80-90% of the problem---just not doing it • Regulation doesn’t fit the I-Net (slow, minimalist, US only, create economic & security problems) • Obama personally rejected regulation of PS • 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 CSPR
Congressional Testimony October, 2007
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
Chapter 4 Supply Chain • ISA & CMU launched its supply chain project in 2006 • 3 Conferences at CMU and DC w/more than 100 industry, govt. and academic experts • CMU Report 2007/2008 • Scott Borg US Cyber Consequences Center leading effort in 2009/2010 • Focus on hardware/firmware
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 interuption of production, corruption of production, discrediting of production and loss of control of production • Legal Support for : unambigious 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 of Cyber Events: “50 Questions Every CFO should Ask ----including what they ought to be asking their General Counsel and outside counsel.
