With the increasing reliance on data and computing services, securing the organisations networks agains unauthorised intrusions and interference has become critical to the mission and survival of the entire organisation. Responsibility for network security is no longer limited to the IT-department, but everybody from the Board to each individual employee has a role to play in the security of the organisations networks, e.g. it is estimated that 90% of successful cyber attacks start with a phishing email. Moreover, cloud integration and expanding software supply lines, makes it difficult, even for the techical staff, to keep track of the organisation’s data, computing, and network assets, so orchestrating the security efforts of everybody is crucial to the mission and survival of the networked organisation.
The Keynote examines the services, components, and protocols necessary to run the technical infrastructure, along with the security roles and responsibilities of the different stakeholders who have become integral to the security of modern complex networked organisations in order to identify the different functions and competences needed to support support secure network infrastructures. Understanding the organisations networked infrastructure as a socio-technical system is necessary when defining security policies and deploying security technology, but also when recruiting capabilities or outsourcing security functions to managed security providers.
