Framework Background

Executive Order 13636 Failure by Congress to pass cyber legislation Unprecedented cyber threat environment

Role of NIST Develop voluntary framework Industry-led

Process Ten months, five workshops, transparent process 12,000 public comments adjudicated Collaboration between NIST, White House (NSC), DHS, and private sector

Framework Basics

Core: Set of cybersecurity activities and informative references common across CI Functions: Overview of organization’s management of cyber risks

Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, Recover (IPDRR)

Tiers: Mechanism to view approach and processes for managing cyber risk

1. Partial

2. Risk Informed

3. Repeatable

4. Adaptive Tier 4 is not the goal for every organization

Framework Basics (continued)

Profiles Alignment of IPDRR with business requirements, risk tolerance, and resources of organization Current Profile Target Profile Profiles create gap analysis

Creating a profile helps a company understand its dependencies with business partners, vendors, and suppliers.

What the Framework is Really About

Creating a common language for cyber risk management Objective: Facilitate behavioral change in organizations

Treat cyber risk as a mission equal in priority to other corporate risk

Intended for critical infrastructure owners and operators…

but can be used by many others Applies market-driven approach to cyber risk management Product of industry, not government Not one size fits all…user experience will vary

Industry: Each Sector Will Define Adoption Identify metrics for success Facilitate information sharing within industry Defining cost-effectiveness Role for insurance….finally?

Business Small (prioritize, develop risk management process) Medium (grow risk management process) Large (share best practices and lessons learned)

Framework: The Way Ahead (continued)

Government DHS role evolving

Launch of Critical Infrastructure Cyber Community Voluntary Program

Providing managed security services to states, localities who adopt framework - a good first step Work with Sector Specific Agencies in first year, expand to all CI business in future

Seeking input from small business on framework adoption More work on incentives is required

International adoption…and overcoming Snowden challenge

Need for role of US business with global presence to engage and facilitate

Framework: The Way Ahead (continued) Industry

Participate in additional workshops on implementation and areas for improvement

Adopt Framework by mapping it to existing risk management process and addressing gaps that are identified through profile development

Conduct training to “normalize” cyber risk behavior, including simulations and exercises with corporate leadership

Feedback to government: Lessons learned/what works/what doesn’t/what’s missing Industry input will shape development of Framework 2.0

Non-lifeline sector adoption Retail, Manufacturing, etc.
