‘Dealing with the Insider Threat’ is the title of a masterclass by the Security Institute on July 2, from 9am until 4pm, at the Department for International Development (DFID), 1 Palace Street, London, SW1E 5HEQ. Tickets are £95 for institute members and £145 for non-members. Organisers point out that dealing with the ‘insider threat’ is a key component of an overall security strategy. It is a topic increasingly high on the agenda of the CSO and CISO. For example according to the ‘2011 Cost of a Data Breach Study’ sponsored by Symantec, negligence and malicious attacks are the top causes of breaches.
On the agenda
– Ways to tackle the insider threat. For the smarter organisations this presents an opportunity in harder times to quickly and significantly reduce their exposure through straightforward and relatively inexpensive initiatives.
– People want to be more secure – there is an enormous willingness amongst workforces to follow good practice. How to harness and channel their support.
– Dealing with breaches of trust rather than breaches of security.
– Getting their attention – moving employees from being unaware to being committed to information protection, using real-life stories and subject matter that people are concerned about.
– Measurement – “if you’re not measuring, you’re only practising”.
– Case study and proposed model for effective security communications.
