Monitoring to Minimize Risk

B2B, partner, outsource, extranet; words that make security professionals cringe with disdain. Sometimes directors must accept high risk, such as connecting a partner network before proper risk assessment can be completed, due to urgent business drivers. Often, however, such decisions are made by those without authority to assume such a high level of risk. Such decisions affect an entire corporation, and are often made with flawed or incomplete information. In response, those charged with information security are tempted to get frustrated and surrender to chance. Such capitulation is not necessary. If you follow the approach laid out in this book, you can tailor a monitoring strategy based on the “special” business situation, minimizing or even mitigating the additional risk. Require targeted security monitoring, funded by the risk-taking sponsors, by saying, “If you want to venture into this risky project, you will need to fund additional monitoring resources for hardware and headcount.”
