Are the Directors on-Board the Cyber Security Train? | eLeadership | eSkills | Digital CitiZEN | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
From www.informationsecuritybuzz.com - June 8, 2015 8:01 PM

Cyber security is no longer the sole responsibility of the technical people, or even the CIO.


Following the Target breach (where immense pressure was placed to replace most of the board members after the breach), and board members of Target and Wyndham Worldwide (hotel chain) face derivative lawsuit related to the data breaches. Recent survey reveal that nearly half (45%) of senior management acknowledge that the C-suite and senior leadership themselves are responsible for protecting their companies against cyber-attacks, and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission recently published a paper on the Role of the Boards of Directors in Overseeing Cyber-Risk Management, where it recommends:

Cyber-risk must be considered as part of the board’s overall risk oversight: “boards that choose to ignore, or minimize, the importance of cyber security oversight responsibility, do so at their own peril.”

Boards should assess the corporation’s cyber security measures including corporate policies and annual budgets for privacy and IT security programs. And perhaps, more critically, highlights the significance of cyber-risk education for directors, ensuring that the board be at least adequately represented by members with a good understanding of information technology issues that pose risks to the company.

What Americans should fear in cyberspace

What Americans should fear in cyberspace | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
From www.latimes.com - January 28, 2014 11:33 AM
A recent Pew poll found that Americans are more afraid of a cyber attack than they are of Iranian nuclear weapons, the rise of China or climate change.

 

In treating cyber security as a matter only for IT experts, computer users often neglect the most basic precautions that go a long way toward protecting both the Internet's users and the network itself. Indeed, one study found that as much as 94% of attacks could be stopped with basic "cyber hygiene." Perhaps the best example is that the most popular password in use today is "123456," with "password" No. 2.

 

The 19th century poet Ralph Waldo Emerson never could have conceived of the Internet. But it is what allowed me recently to look up a quote by him that is perhaps the best guide for our age of cyber insecurity:

 

===> "Knowledge is the antidote to fear." <===

 

GM: SO, learn about the basics of Cyber-Security!

The US is the number one source of web attacks: The majority of requests and attackers originated in the United States, Western European countries, China and Brazil.

“We believe that, with the current threat landscape, organizations can no longer afford to take an every-man-for-himself approach to security,” said Shulman. “This report demonstrates that the automation and scale of attacks leave a large footprint that can be better addressed by looking at data gathered from a large set of potential victims. Thus it is important to rely on one’s peers to acquire intelligence on malicious sources and apply this intelligence in real time.”

Documents seen by the German newspaper Spiegel suggest that not only were bugs installed in the EU's offices in Washington, but also that the building's computer network was infiltrated.

 

Through this, surveillance teams had the capability to listen to discussions in several offices belonging to the EU, as well as being able to access emails and documents on computers.
