Albuquerque, NM (PRWEB) February 06, 2012
EC-Council released a new white paper that introduced Business Wargaming, an alternative method to conventional CISO practices. Traditional CISO business strategies focus solely on known risk factors and often fail to consider the evolving and complex risk landscape. Business Wargaming prepares the CISO for external threats and unknown risk factors. It equips them with the knowledge necessary to properly establish IT security incident handling processes.
The author of the white paper, Nitin Kumar, global executive and managing consultant, said, The advent of game changers like mobile apps, social media, cloud computing and the likes have breathed new meaning into the risk landscape. The traditional way of developing an IT Risk strategy understanding risk, managing, mitigating and monitoring becomes very difficult. The ever-growing lists of new regulations and compliance needs are like never before adding complexity to the environment.

The need for sound strategic information security (IS) processes has never been greater. The escalated increase in security breaches in 2011 has raised a red flag to businesses regarding their current IS procedures. Last year a security breach cost Sony over $ 180 million. At that time Sony did not have a CISO in place to lead an effective information security risk strategy.
According to a recent survey by Ponemon Institute, the cost of the average information security breach has steadily risen throughout the last 5 years. Today, an average data breach will cost an organization over $ 7 million.
?You need a CISO today to manage not only the IT risks, but understand and influence the business risks that are imposed on the company by the decisions and strategies it takes.?, said John South, CISO at Heartland Payment Systems, in a recent article by BankInfoSecurity.
