Cyber Security is hard work - it occurs in every IT department every day. It is a complex discipline and encompasses many different skills and potentially many different groups of people. The complexity of Cyber Security must be managed through a variety of interrelated lifecycles - the challenge is determining how to integrate those lifecycles, their related expectations and the eventual outcomes associated with each lifecycle.
If an enterprise, organization or a set of connected or inter-dependent organizations fails to orchestrate a coordinated security lifecycle management paradigm the consequences can be dire:
- Security updates may be uncoordinated, thus leaving vulnerabilities across the enterprise.
- Conflicting guidance might allow release of sensitive information.
- New applications and systems may not meet current or future expectations for security coding or identity management.
The CCS Difference
The CCS Practice approaches IT Security as single, all pervasive domain. There is no part of the enterprise that is immune from the requirement to ensure integrity and survivability. The key to achieving enterprise-wide Lifecycle Management is Cross Domain process automation and data-driven requirements management. Our practice solution provides both the process and solution automation - both based upon a shared Cyber Semantic foundation.
Managing Lifecycles even within a single domain has proven complex, multiple domains nearly impossible, until now
