The Department of Defense’s (DoD) necessarily complex security requirements traditionally resulted in the physical separation of classified information onto different networks and computer systems. This created strong security, yet also created higher total costs and impeded access to necessary information. The DoD is addressing these issues with a solution from General Dynamics, which features Intel® vPro™ technology. (more…)

From The Practical CIO by Niel Nickolaisen provided by the CIO Leadership Network.
In my last column, I explained how I put together three focus groups of “Gen Next” employees. My goal was to better understand what they expected from their jobs, as well as what they expected from their leaders. The responses they gave were insightful and, at times, surprising. They also tended to fall into three general categories:
• What I need from my leaders.
• How I expect to interact.
• What I want from my employer. (more…)

From The Practical CIO by Niel Nickolaisen provided by the CIO Leadership Network.
To be honest, I never pay much attention to the stories about the work of Gen X and Gen Y (collectively referred to as Gen Next) employees. I assumed many of the stories were apocryphal. I am sure you have heard some of the same claims and stories:

Enterprises today have made significant investments in securing their data centers, factories, offices, and other assets against security threats. Their risk assessment methodologies and security precautions are usually designed by a single group of people—internal information security specialists—and aimed at understanding vulnerabilities in a particular environment. Intel has embraced wargaming as an additional type of risk analysis that helps us better understand and defend against malicious attackers from within and without. This white paper from Intel IT provides an overall description of the methodology.

Intel uses a war game process as an essential part of their risk management program. The primary outcome of the war game is to identify areas that need change or improvement in the security infrastructure, and provide both the data and business process support to make those changes happen.
War gaming is typically thought of as a simulation or drill, and can be used in that manner in a corporate setting to validate a security control. In the local Intel Premier IT Professional best practice seminars, Timothy Casey, CISSP, and other Intel IT security experts conduct workshops to train others to use this process. The techniques as well as additional uses are defined in this white paper. (more…)
