CONTINUITY OF ACTIVITIES NEEDS SECURITY ARCHITECTURE TO REDUCE RISKS AND COSTS

The frequency of cyber attacks continues to grow at an unprecedented rate. By targeting the most vulnerable value chains of organizations, they cause breaches of confidentiality and integrity of information, discontinuities of activities and considerable damage. On the other hand, once considered primarily a purely technological problem, information system risks are now assessed in the context of business risk management and business continuity.

This session will bring you a new vision allowing the optimal cohabitation of cybersecurity with business continuity.

Business continuity requires security architecture to reduce risk and cost

The frequency of cyber-attacks continues to increase at an unparalleled pace. By attacking the most vulnerable value chains of organizations, they result in information confidentiality and integrity breaches, discontinuity of business activities and huge damages.

Once considered predominantly as a technological issue, the risks related to the information systems are now evaluated within the Enterprise Risk Management scope. On the other hand, traditionally, Business Continuity Management (BCM) is mostly treated as a domain, separated from Information System Security Management (ISSM).

With the rapid explosion of cyber threats, the alignment between BCM and ISSM is now becoming a must for providing management with a holistic view and enabling them to be implemented in organizations where the teams interact closely with each other. It goes without saying that the organizational part of security and BCM is the key for a successful implementation, yet the information system (IS) part needs also to be addressed in an efficient way.

Various standards and frameworks exist to help organizations implementing a BCM, but they lack a strong link with the governance, architecture and security of the IS. In this session, we will introduce very briefly an innovative approach and describe the first steps for the linkage between the two worlds, enabling an efficient implementation of BC based on architecture and secured IS.

The successful deployment of an Information Security Management System (ISMS) requires the implementation of risk analysis supported by a methodological and repeatable approach. In this context, a large number of organizations suffer from complex and tedious implementation.

Based on these observations, we propose a review of the implementation of the principles set out in ISO 27005 and ISO 27001, allowing you a pragmatic implementation based on best practices.
