Cybersecurity Framework Adoption >> NIST CSF is on the lead. Based on the recent survey done by SANS & Expel in a comprehensive online survey of IT and cybersecurity professionals from private and public-sector organizations across industries and geographies between August 2023 and September 2023, it is obvious that majority are adopting NIST CSF framework. #cybersecurity #CSF

Dealing with Procurement and the Rs 20,000/- VAPT Expectation: Apples vs. Grenades 🍏     In my journey in the cybersecurity world, I've encountered numerous instances where companies expect us to perform Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT) for a mere Rs 20,000/- while the industry standard is Rs 4,50,000/-. It's a classic case of comparing "Apples to Grenades." 🧨     In VAPT, you can't equate a thorough assessment with a rushed, budget option. It's like a ticking clock, and if you treat it like a mere apple, you might be safe for a while. But if you pull out that grenade pin, be prepared for an imminent explosion and potential career fallout, reminiscent of CISOs in major security breaches. 🕰     Here are some points I'd like to highlight when dealing with procurement teams fixated on cost:     1️⃣ Look beyond the price tag and consider the real value: A low-cost VAPT may lack the expertise, processes, and corrective plans that a professional, high-quality service provides. Don't compromise on security for short-term savings.     2️⃣ Avoid the temptation of bundling multiple services with one vendor: This might seem cost-effective, but it often leads to mismanagement, as each service has different requirements and standards.     3️⃣ Long-term thinking is crucial: Partners offering cheap services might not have your best interests at heart. They could cut corners, leading to potential future issues. Evaluate their intentions and capabilities carefully.     4️⃣ Take ownership of your decisions: If a security breach occurs, it's on you and your procurement team. Your choices will determine whether your organization stays secure or faces a crisis.     5️⃣ Research the average industry costs: Don't just rely on the cheapest offer; consider the value, experience, and trustworthiness of your security partner.     6️⃣ Understand your partner's motivations: Some partners offer reduced rates due to long-term relationships or budget constraints, not subpar quality. It's vital to assess the reasons behind their pricing.     In a world where cyber threats are ever-evolving, security is not a place to cut corners. Let's aim for a robust, apples-to-apples comparison in VAPT, rather than risking the security of our organizations. 🍏🔒     #Cybersecurity #VAPT #Procurement #SecurityMatters #CyberSmithSECURE #SmithGonsalves Santosh Khadsare

We had a great session on the characteristics of Fixed v/s Growth Mindset 🧠 with Jamal Ahmed CIPP/E, CIPM, CIPT, FIP and how adopting to a growth mindset can enable us to think positive and come out of difficult situations in various stages of our life. Fixed v/s Growth mindset: 🧠 🌳 When you cultivate a mindset of either culture (Fixed or Growth), you adopt a way of thinking and responding 🌳 You attend to these set of beliefs & nurture these ideals or limitations 🌳 It will also have an impact on your behaviour & performance Therefore it is very important to adapt to a Growth mindset to be able to think and remain positive even during the difficult times. You will then be able to come out of adverse situations way faster and it will also reflect in your behaviour & performance. Characteristics of Growth Mindset: 🧠 People with this mindset: 💡 Accept feedback as constructive & looks for way to improve 💡 Have emotional resilience 💡 Can confront challenges 💡 Are problem solvers 💡 Apply individual effort & attempts tasks 💡 Can acquire skills through practice Example of Growth Mindset: 🧠 What is the most difficult part to initiate work out on a Treadmill❓ The answer is "to get on the Treadmill" 💡 The second challenge is that once you have got on the Treadmill to not stand still and to keep moving else you will fall 🏃‍♂️ Key learnings: 🌳 Efforts should be recognized, encouraged & rewarded. This is very crucial as this highlights the significance of efforts regardless of the outcome 🌳 The praise & acknowledgement for effort is desired & appreciated more so than the effort 🌳 It is not the end result that is genius, rather the effort 🌳 This practice of engaging our minds into praising effort over talents enables learning without barriers 🌳 Nurture v/s Nature: Study shows that Nurturing is very important as against the Nature since good values & growth mindset can be imbibed as part of Nurturing into kids & adults over the time My AHA moments from the session with Jamal Ahmed CIPP/E, CIPM, CIPT, FIP was: ✈️ You must align your thoughts with your goals to support you in reaching your end goal ✈️ Eliminate/ delegate the tasks that take you away from your goal

When a company or organization like #Patelco CU stabilizes its network after a #ransomware attack, it means that it has taken steps to regain control over its systems and data, ensuring that its network is secure and operational again. Here are the key steps typically involved in this process: 1. Incident Response: Immediate actions are taken to contain the spread of the ransomware. This often involves isolating affected systems to prevent the malware from propagating further. 2. Assessment and Damage Control: IT teams assess the extent of the damage caused by the ransomware attack. This includes identifying which systems and data have been compromised and determining how the ransomware entered the network. 3. Removal of Malware: Security experts work to remove the ransomware from infected systems. This can involve restoring systems from backups, using decryption tools if available, or completely wiping and reinstalling systems. 4. Restoration of Systems and Data: Systems are restored from clean backups if available. Data recovery efforts are undertaken to restore lost or encrypted data. 5. Security Enhancements: The organization implements additional security measures to prevent future attacks. This can include updating software, patching vulnerabilities, enhancing network monitoring, and training employees on cybersecurity best practices. 6. Testing and Validation: The restored systems are thoroughly tested to ensure they are functioning correctly and that no remnants of the ransomware remain. 7. Communication: The organization communicates with stakeholders, including employees, customers, and possibly regulatory bodies, to inform them about the attack and the steps taken to address it. By stabilizing its network, the organization aims to restore normal operations, ensure data integrity and security, and prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future.

The alignment of Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems with ISO 42001 and the NIST AI Framework involves integrating principles and guidelines aimed at ensuring the secure, ethical, and responsible development, deployment, and management of AI technologies. ISO 42001 focuses on establishing an Artificial Intelligence Management System (AIMS), offering a comprehensive framework for managing the lifecycle of AI systems responsibly. It emphasizes the importance of ethical principles, stakeholder engagement, and continuous improvement, ensuring that AI technologies are developed and used in a manner that respects human rights, promotes trust, and benefits society. The NIST AI Framework, on the other hand, provides a set of guidelines aimed at fostering trust in AI technologies. It focuses on ensuring the accuracy, reliability, and robustness of AI systems, while addressing ethical, legal, and societal implications. The framework encourages the development of AI systems that are transparent, explainable, and accountable, thereby enhancing public confidence in AI technologies. Metrics for AI systems to be developed based on Accuracy, Valid and Reliable, Safety, Secure and Resilient, Accountable and Transparent, Explainable and Interpretable, Privacy-Enhanced, Fair – with Harmful Bias Managed. This will help for proper training of various AI models. Example: Accuracy- Accuracy is the proportion of correct predictions among the total number of cases processed. It can be computed with: Accuracy = (TP + TN) / (TP + TN + FP + FN) , where: TP: True positive TN: True negative FP: False positive FN: False Negative Attaching the mapping between these two.
