Multi-Tiered Security Approach Can Help Assess Vulnerabilities and Reduce Risk of Breach

Hikvision Insights Into Security Breach and Vulnerabilities

Security magazine recommends a multi-tiered approach to help CISOs assess security vulnerabilities and reduce risk of breach in this article: “A Framework for Measuring InfoSec as a Business Function.”

It’s historically been challenging to measure security investment costs against performance and a company’s larger risk management strategy, according to the article. It added that “... new tools can now assist CISOs in meeting expectations, allowing them to defend against a growing threat landscape while also minimizing costs and enabling them to show the direct correlation between a proffered expenditure and its associated reduction in a particular risk. With these tools, CISOs have firmly in their grasp a TCC (total cost of controls) model that makes it possible to measure information security as a business function, balancing risks against their mitigating costs, maximizing value and efficiency.”

The article recommended a multi-tiered approach to risk management that includes the following recommendations:

Use data from external sources to asses an organizations’ risk.

Supplement external data with an internal analysis of in-house security systems.

Assess an organization’s security process and policies.
