Mitigating attacker’s intent as well as effect
As the USA Cyber Security Advisor to NATO – a volunteer position – Curtis Levinson is tasked with considering the various methods cyber attackers might choose, as well as the locations.
He’s advancing a new philosophy about business continuity and cyber security. Here’s what he told Securebuzz…
Most organization function are solely separate… they report to separate points and are not coordinated. I believe that to be an extreme error, because of today’s complex world of cyber-attack. While we can manipulate the odds of attack, and we can manipulate the vulnerabilities, the threats are always going to move faster than we can remediate.
In part we’re choked by our own bureaucracy. The bad guys don’t have bureaucracy and can attack at will.
We have budget cycles and discussions and contracts and federal programs that cost billions of dollars. They have none of that and don’t care. They’re already moving and attacking, so we will never ever catch up.
