| | December - 2019ENTERPRISE SECURITY6Organizations around the world today are dealing with a dramatic increase in the volume of digital information, and critical infrastructure is not any exception. It's not only business applications but also communication links and underlying control systems that are susceptible to cyber-attacks. This would also include critical infrastructure such as Energy, Oil & Gas, Banks, Retail, Healthcare, Pharmaceutical, Nuclear, and Natural Resources. Cyber Security is all about identifying critical information assets and protecting them from adversaries, assessing security posture, predicting threat actions, and preparing the ecosystem to handle visible and invisible threats.We are in an information-based economy where every information asset is valuable for a business process, product and service. Silos of information assets managed by yet another set of silos of systems, applications and products create redundancies and operational nuances and may create pathways for adversaries to enter the business and information ecosystem. The hyper-connected nature of the digital world is delivering computing that not only creates incredible new opportunities for collaboration and innovation but at the same time, new vulnerabilities that adversaries have learned to exploit.Security management across organizations tends to be more mature for the enterprise side of the business rather than the operational networks that form a bulk of critical infrastructure. These operational networks are still in the architecture transformation phase of moving from silos into the layered network architecture.Implementing Security Analytics & Intelligence requires data feeds from all sources, be it security operations, management platforms, control center operations of grids, oscillations from the PMUs, frequency of the wind turbines, inputs from PLC, detecting the changes to the comtrade files, IED configurations, etc. along with the feeds from unstructured data sources for computing and correlation. Though Security Analytics & Intelligence look like essential technology requirements in the context of Critical Infrastructure, the reality is that it is still in the process of embracing this platform by shredding the silos, deploying Defense-in-Depth security solutions, streamlining governance and classifying critical assets. Once these processes are adopted, Security Analytics & Intelligence will play an instrumental role in critical infrastructure protection.The Future of Analytics in SecurityEditorialRussell Thomas Managing Editor editor@enterprisesecuritymag.comDECEMBER - 23 - 2019, Volume 05 - 34 Published by ValleyMedia, Inc.
