1 BT Security Consulting Cyber Maturity Assessment

2 How serious will your next security breach be? Nearly a third of CEO s list cyber security as the issue that has the biggest impact on their company today, yet only half feel prepared for a cyber attack (BT-KPMG Taking the offensive: Disrupting Cyber Crime 2016). More than half of CIO s state that Cloud is the most disruptive technology change. But 49% are battling to migrate to cloud and benefit in full due to security concerns (The BT CIO report 2016). No company is safe Security is our business Our job is to stay ahead of the changing security landscape so that our customers can focus on their core business activity. Using our in-depth understanding of the malware used by criminal and state-sponsored groups, we can assess risks to your business and work out how to tackle any potential threats. We can analyse malware and attack tools, identify digital signatures and provide enhanced defences where necessary. Working with us, you can stay ahead of threats, while reducing the uncertainty and complexity of security. We provide end-toend consultancy to help organisations transform their approach to security from reactive to proactive. We work with 7,000 organisations in over 170 countries 1,000 of them security customers. They're advised by a global team of 2,500 security practitioners and a professional services team of over 500 security specific consultants (including architecture design specialists). A cyber attack won t announce itself or happen when it s convenient for you. It s far more likely that you ll be unaware of it until a supplier or customer notices a problem and raises the alarm. Chances are, you ll then discover the source of the problem has been hidden deep within your organisation for months, or even years. Responding to new threats With your security constantly evolving to meet new threats, it can be easy to lose track of what s in place, or where your weak spots are. Your business could be open to serious risk and you might not even know it. Even when you re aware of the risks, you might not have the right solution. While you can never remove risk completely, you can manage it, get the measure of it and spot what s coming next. Staying secure is about staying one step ahead.

3 Our approach We have advanced security awareness across our organisation, which means it takes less time to identify threats and implement mitigation plans. Focusing on dynamically managing business risks across your whole organisation, we work with you to conduct a Cyber Security Maturity Assessment which will: identify the key threats to your organisation map out security threat scenarios to help you with planning and future analysis determine the current maturity of security controls in relation to your threat landscape. The diagram below illustrates the approach that we ve devised to: assess your end-to-end cyber security capabilities; identify shortfalls; and provide effective solutions.

You let us know your current threat landscape, service provision and business strategy and we use that to inform the other assessments. We can also work to build risk and threat landscapes for you if needed.

4 How mature is your cyber security? A Cyber Security Maturity Assessment will help support your security posture and cyber defence capabilities. Specifically, this assessment lets us: define your threat landscape create a high-level view of the threat your organisation faces; which allows you to focus on how to deal with it create threat scenarios that detail where threats are coming from, their likely impacts and how they can be dealt with provide advice in how you can use threat scenario planning to feed into strategic security control development For the Security Control Analysis, we recommend using an industry standard framework to understand the maturity of your cyber security strategy. SANS Top 20 Critical Security Controls or NIST Cyber Framework are both strong choices. Using these two assessments will allow your organisation to take control of your cyber security governance, management and operations. Take a look at the table below to see the results of assessment activities: complete a Security Control Analysis. Scope Activity Output Review of current security controls A time-boxed review to: identify required controls and processes against known threats provide a gap analysis of controls against industry best practice. A report of the current maturity of the Top 20 Critical Security Controls with a set of prioritised recommended mitigations. Review and analysis of threat landscape A time-boxed review to: determine as-is cyber defences determine baseline assets, actors, topology and volumes. For the physical estate: an agreed number of documented targeted threat assessments and key threat scenarios against critical services and channel gaps. Executive report A final report outlining BT s findings and observations. A report providing our recommendations, an overall maturity level assessment for the organisation, a strategic plan detailing how gaps should be addressed and a high level roadmap showing how the strategy would be deployed.
