CYBERSECURITY

The Essential Problem

As a discipline, cybersecurity has had difficulty communicating well to the business. Our dilemma has been that of proving a negative: ‘If you invest $X, you will prevent this bad thing from happening.’ The business then invests the money and one of two scenarios play out:

  1. The bad thing doesn’t happen – which leaves us wondering if it might not have happened anyway without the investment.
  2. The bad thing does happen – which leaves our security people pointing to the other purchase they asked for that we didn’t spend money on.

However, over the past few years the industry has begun maturing in the sense that we are both (a) gathering more data to inform us about what causes breaches and how expensive they are and (b) using mathematical models other industries have found successful in predicting risk reduction.

The MITRE Corporation is a global not for profit organization focused on public safety issues including cybersecurity. We use the data they gather to identify statistically meaningful patterns in risk reduction.

Our CTO is the co-founder and primary contributor of RedPill, an open source framework for modeling risk. RedPill uses the data behind ATT&CK, together with control data from the customer’s environment to statistically model the effectiveness of your security program.
