Cybersecurity Assessments July August 2014 37
Current FFIEC IT Examination Process Each FFIEC agency (FDIC, Federal Reserve, OCC, NCUA) will perform periodic information technology examinations at regulated financial institutions. Examination procedures are based on the FFIEC IT Handbooks (http://ithandbook.ffiec.gov/) and supplemented by periodic agency guidance. IT Examinations review the financial institution s Information Security Program (ISP). 38
New/Added FFIEC Cybersecurity Assessments In the summer of 2014, the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC) agencies piloted new Cybersecurity Assessment procedures at over 500 community financial institutions to raise awareness of and evaluate their preparedness to mitigate cybersecurity risks. Integrated into regular IT Examination process Cyber Risk Management and Oversight Cyber Security Controls External Dependency Management Threat Intelligence and Collaboration Cyber Resilience Launched a cybercrime website https://www.ffiec.gov/cybersecurity.htm 39

Key Defensive Strategies cliftonlarsonallen.com 46
Strategies Our information security strategy should have the following objectives: Users who are more aware and savvy Networks that are resistant to malware Be Prepared Monitoring, Incident Response, and forensic Capabilities 47
Ten Keys to Mitigate Risk 1. Strong policies 6. Perimeter security layers 2. Defined user access roles Minimum Access 3. Hardened internal systems and end points 4. Encryption strategy data centered 5. Vulnerability management process 7. Centralized logging, analysis and alerting capabilities 8. Incident response capabilities 9. Know / use online banking tools 10.Assess and Test Independent validation that it works 48
Verizon Report is analysis of intrusions investigated by Verizon and US Secret Service. KEY POINTS: Time from successful intrusion to compromise of data was days to weeks. Log files contained evidence of the intrusion attempt, success, and removal of data. Most successful intrusions were not considered highly difficult. 49
Centralized Logging, Analysis, and Alerting Centralized audit logging, analysis, and automated alerting capabilities (SIEM) Firewalls Security appliances Routing infrastructure Network authentication Servers Applications *** Archiving vs. Reviewing Know your: Network, Systems, DATA 50
Call To Action Policies to set foundation Train your users Thoroughly assess your risks Three R s: Recognize, React, Respond Thoroughly validate your controls High expectations of your vendors Penetration testing Application testing Vulnerability scanning Social engineering testing People Tools ` Rules 51

Information Security Program includes Section 501(b) of the Gramm Leach Bliley Act of 1999 (GLBA) for the safeguarding of customer information Board of Directors will develop an Information Security Program that addresses the requirements of: Section 501(b) of the GLBA; Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council s (FFIEC) Interagency Guidelines Establishing Information Security Standards (501[b] Guidelines); and Agency specific guidelines (i.e. Appendix B to Part 364 of the FDIC s Rules and Regulations) The Information Security Program (ISP) is comprised of: Risk Assessment Risk Management Audit Business Continuity/Disaster Recovery/Incident Response Vendor Management Board and Committee Oversight 56
Information Security Program Risk Assessment and Risk Management Assess risk periodically to identify reasonably foreseeable internal and external threats to data and information technology assets that could negatively impact confidentiality and integrity of data and/or availability of systems. Risk is determined based on the likelihood of a given threatsource s ability to exercise a particular potential vulnerability, and the resulting impact of that adverse event on the organization. The results of the risk assessment are used as a basis for establishing and implementing appropriate administrative, technical, and physical controls to reduce or eliminate the impact of the threat. 57
