    Episode 12 - Building Support for Incident Management (Incident Management Series)

    The Security Simplified Podcast is back, and we're introducing the Incident Management Series! For the next nine episodes, Evan and Ryan will simplify Incident Management for the Security Simplified Podcast audience. We start the series with this episode (Episode 12), tackling how to build support for an Incident Management Program. Despite the fact that information security incidents are certain to happen, most organizations do NOT do proper planning. Maybe we (information security professionals) haven't done a good job communicating the importance of an incident management program. Maybe we don't know the importance ourselves. Whatever the reason, we MUST do better! #MissionBeforeMoney

    Episode 9 - Roles and Responsibilities

    Continuing the Information Security Governance Simplified series, Ryan and Evan discuss roles and responsibilities and their importance to effective information security governance. Without explicitly defined roles and responsibilities accountability suffers (or is completely non-existent). In this episode, the topics include: * The Board of Directors (if it exists). – FOUR THINGS * Executive management. * Who is “ultimately responsible” for information security? * Directors and managers. * Information security personnel. * All personnel. Formally defining roles and responsibilities is critical.

    Episode 8 - Governance Alignment

    Evan and Ryan pick up the "Information Security Governance Simplified" series where they left off in Episode 7 - Define Information Security Governance. In this episode, they discuss: - The importance of aligning governance with the mission of the organization. - Defining the mission for the information program. - The importance of executive management buy-in, and how to get it. - Defining the information security charter document. - Determining initial communication protocols. Information security governance should NOT be painful, and when governance is in alignment with the organization's purpose, it's actually the opposite. Good, well thought-out governance, is harmonious and it is possible to get everyone on the same page. We hope you enjoy Episode 8 - Governance Alignment, and join us next week for Episode 9 - Roles and Responsibilities!
