The Failure of Security to Protect

Jacques Remi Francoeur (MBA, M.A.Sc., B.A.Sc.) Presents Security and Assurance Working Group, Digital Currency Global Initiative

Security-Inclusion-Now-Vision-Briefing

The Failure of Security to Protect
The total global economy in 2018 was estimated to be $86 Trillion. It is estimated that there are 4,5B people connected to the Internet, as of June 2019, based on a population of 7,7B, a 58.8% Internet penetration. The Global Risks Report 2019 outlines the greatest risks facing the world, cyber threats are the 4th most significant societal risk that is by no means under control. As the world accelerates into the 4th Industrial Revolution, according to the ITU Global Cybersecurity Index 2018, 73% of the Internet connected world today is unprotected while the remaining 27%, who think they are protected, spend 80% of the global security spending estimated to be $300B by 2023.
Is Protection just for the Rich?
Today, people extending themselves into the digital world are highly exposed to potential significant harm and have no way to detect or prevent the threat.
Should Digital Protection be a Human Right!
Security Inclusion Now! is a call-to-action to urgently drive global action to prevent an eventual untenable global situation that threatens the promises of the 4th industrial revolution – the increasing digital protection divide, the gap between the demand for protection and the available supply.
The asymmetry of the problem is ironic. When we look at a rapidly morphing, well-funded and increasingly sophisticated and difficult to attribute threat, in relation to our current industry capability, there are significant limitations that if not addresses will inherently prevent society from achieving the required “one protection for all” with enough assurance at a reasonable cost.
In a highly interconnected world, no one is protected unless everyone is.
The presenter will explore a new way forward to transition from notional to precision security and from security information in a world of friction to security knowledge in a frictionless world. This will enable those less expert to participate in the protection of their organizations.

Security Control Expressions (SCE) Store Security Knowledge

Everyday security professionals spend countless hours searching for information that is highly distributed and fragmented. This highly subjective and non-interoperable information must be interpreted, synthesized, and communicated to stakeholders.

All matters security can be described uniquely & unambiguously by a simple “expression” model between 6 actors engaged in 5 relationships. The model is published by the ITU, Study Group 17: Security as Technical Report Unified Security Model.

• Genesis Cybersecurity Program is the practitioner training program on the SCE Model innovation. The program involves the transfer & institutionalization of the capability to different centers of expertise for the development of a sustainable & growing security training & knowledge capture capability.
• SINOW Security Validation Platform is a software tool that emulates the SCE model. A nested and iterative process stores security knowledge which is then available frictionlessly to all other dependent practitioners for knowledge verification or their specialized dependent knowledge contribution. It transforms Security & Compliance information in a world of friction to Security & Compliance knowledge in a frictionless world. By enabling instant and frictionless navigation & visualization of any security control, its state, relationships, and dependencies, the security practitioner is free to focus on security and not finding information.
