    This document discusses building modern cybersecurity programs using digital transformation strategies. It notes that while cybersecurity awareness is high, there are also challenges like a talent shortage and an overabundance of security tools. It then outlines key aspects of digital transformation like scale, automation, and being data-driven. Specifically for cybersecurity, it advocates applying these strategies through on-demand security, automation of repetitive tasks, and leveraging analytics and machine learning across network, endpoint, and cloud data to detect sophisticated attacks. The document concludes that the right approach requires integrating great prevention, AI/ML for detection, and automated investigations.

    Building Modern Cybersecurity Programs:

    Using Digital Transformation Strategies

    Abdelmajed Saeed
    Cyber Security Consultant

    Riyadh March 2022


    Conditions on the ground today
    Awareness for improved cyber security programs is at an all time high!
    But…

    More cybersecurity Too much


    Talent shortage
    tools information

    1.8 million unfilled Possibly increases IoT $800 billion


    positions, according complexity, distracts us, industry, with over
    to the Center for drives more staffing 8.4 billion connected
    Cyber Safety and needs devices online, and
    Education by 2022 spending predicted
    to reach nearly $1.4
    trillion by 2021
    On deck: IoT + 5G
    Common Responses

    Increase Transfer the Modernize


    staff burden

    Money… Managed Digital

    Key Characteristics of a Digital Transformation

    Scale compute on-demand, often built within


    minutes

    Automation speed and agility are often what we see,


    but automation is the glue

    Data Driven knowing your customer, analytics, data


    analysis driving outcomes
    Continuous Evolution
    50% of CEOs expect their industries to be substantially or
    unrecognizably transformed

    Cloud Automation Analytics

    Enablers of digital transformation

    Distributed users, apps, and data | Delivers flexibility and speed; increases risk

    IoT SaaS Cloud/Virtualization Mobility


    Highly Automated Adversaries
    Cyber Transformation: applying these Digital
    Transformation strategies to your
    cybersecurity program
    SCALE
    On-demand security is about building dynamic process into your cyber
    program. Examples…
    Regionalized “security towers”
    often cloud-based allowing for flexible consumption, growth and change
    to occur “locally” independent of security services.
    “Data processing Offloading”
    Balances security data collection (locally) with centralized processing. We
    want to be agile with “sensors” that have a small foot print.
    Balancing your talent with partnerships
    “Right-Sizing” your technology and teams. Often organizations focus on
    areas in cyber that are better left to on-demand talent.
    AUTOMATION
    The most important element of Cyber Transformation
    • Adversarial Transformation
    • They too have applied digital concepts.
    • We need to our own defense automation.
    • Play Books
    • the act of identifying manual repetitive process and automating it
    into an agile repeatable process
    • Natively integrated platforms
    • Automation + orchestration = leverage
    Data Driven
    Cyber Analytics
    Machine learning & analytics are key to managing the
    balance between reactive and proactive activities.
    Your cyber analytics program needs to integrate data
    generated from SIEM’s, external threat intelligence, forensics,
    and hunting activities and become actionable.
    With as little human handling as possible
    Data lakes are key to a foundation, but don’t let them
    become a liability
    (data showing threats after the breach or incident).
    Advanced Attacks Require Detection &
    Response

    Known threats Evasive Zero-day Fileless attacks • Targeted attacks


    malware attacks • Low and slow
    • Insider threats

    99%+ of attacks can be <1% require analysis over time &


    prevented with the right tools across layers with machine learning
    The right approach requires three integrated
    capabilities

    Great Prevention AI & Machine Learning Automated Investigations

    to stop everything you can to detect sophisticated to accelerate response


    attacks

    ACROSS NETWORK, ENDPOINT AND CLOUD DATA


    Thank you!
