  6. Overview of the Texas Cybersecurity Framework • 40 security objectives defined • Aligned to “Framework for Improving Critical Infrastructure Cybersecurity” released by NIST on February 12 • Multiple deliverables from DIR over then next several months • Agency Security Plan Template Delivered in January • Vendor Product / Service Template Delivered in March • Updated Texas Administrative Code Ch. 202 • Control Catalog • Guidelines and Whitepapers

  7. Why didn’t DIR adopt the National Cybersecurity Framework? • A question of timing and goals Security plan template due from VendorOct 2013 SB 1597effective Sep 1 2013 IS Working Group MeetingFeb 28 2014 Agencies develop/adjust security plans Feb-Oct 2014 Jul 2013 RFO published Oct 2013 Draft security plan template to SISAC Policy Subcommittee Jan 2014Security plan template available to agencies Mar 26-27 2014DIRInformationSecurity Forum Oct 15 2014 Security plans to DIR from agencies

  8. Why didn’t DIR adopt the National Cybersecurity Framework? • A question of timing and goals • The framework “shell game”

  9. Why didn’t DIR adopt the National Cybersecurity Framework? • A question of timing and goals • The framework “shell game” • The long-term solution lends itself to adaption to any framework or compliance regime

  10. The Texas Framework and Agency Security PlansAgenda Texas Cybersecurity Framework Agency Security Plans Examples Questions Open Discussion

  11. Security Plan Template • Available on the DIR website in the Texas Cybersecurity Framework section

  12. Agency Security Plans • Responsive to SB 1134 (Ellis) and SB 1597 (Zaffirini) • Objective-based • Provides a uniform understanding of agency security program maturity

  13. Basic Information • The demographic information provides us the ability to make sense of the data

  14. Control activities • Agencies are asked to provide the controls they have in place for each security objective

  15. Pattern Controls • DIR has provided “pattern controls” expected at each maturity level • Details the processes at that level • Not focused on Technology

  16. Effectiveness • Agencies at level 4 are asked to detail how they measure effectiveness

  17. Efficiency • Similarly, at level 5, agencies are asked to detail how they measure efficiency of controls

  18. Roadmap • Finally, agencies are asked to indicate their roadmap for the next 12 months. • Challenges section is a pull-down menu

  19. The Texas Framework and Agency Security PlansAgenda Texas Cybersecurity Framework Agency Security Plans Examples Questions Open Discussion

  20. Example 1: Security Awareness and TrainingControl Objective • Define, prepare, deliver, and facilitate an ongoing awareness campaign utilizing a wide variety of mediums and delivery mechanisms to effectively and constantly educate the organization on security related information, threats, and technology risks. • Assume agency is at a maturity level 3 for example 1 The program identifies and focuses on the security topics that support the organization's mission. The program includes continual refresher activities throughout the year.  

  21. Example 1: Security Awareness and TrainingControl Activity Security awareness training consists of PowerPoint presentations with testing, that are taken on an annual basis by all staff.

  22. Example 1: Security Awareness and TrainingControl Activity Security awareness training consists of agency developed PowerPointpresentations delivered across our agency intranet. Each staff member must also pass an accompanyingwithtesting for each module, with at least 80% correct. , that are taken on an annual basis by all staff. The agency has a goal of 100% of staff trained within the first 6 months of employment. Security awareness training consists of PowerPoint presentations with testing, that are taken on an annual basis by all staff.

  23. Example 1: Security Awareness and TrainingRoadmap The agency has allocated funds for improving training programs.

  24. Example 1: Security Awareness and TrainingRoadmap The agency has met its goal of 100% of staff trained within the first 6 months of employment, but tracking has been a manual process. The agency has allocated funds to build a training management system, which will programmatically track compliance with for improving training programs requirements. The agency has allocated funds for improving training programs.

  25. Example 2: Access ControlControl Objective • Processes used to ensure access to applications, servers, databases, and network devices in the environment is limited to authorized personnel. Access is to be limited to authorized users, processes acting on behalf of authorized users, or authorized devices. Authorized users are further limited to the types of transactions and functions that they are permitted to exercise. Session limits, lockout features for failed login attempts, account expirations and disabling unused accounts are controls that provide access control. • Assume agency is at a level 4 and 5 for example 2 • Pattern Controls • Role-based access controls are implemented and the principle of "least privilege" is employed. Roles are defined for system access. Individual users are assigned permissions based on roles, no individual permissions are granted. Two factor authentication mechanisms are employed for systems identified as high risk by a documented risk management process.     • Onboarding: Access to systems is granted based on role-based controls in a documented and auditable manner. Off boarding: A defined and auditable process is in place to revoke all access permissions within 2 hours of a separation activity.

  26. Example 2: Access ControlControl Activity The organization is in the process of implementing an IAM system to ensure that access levels are role-based and that no shared accounts exist. Two factor authentication is in the process of being deployed for high risk systems.

  27. Example 2: Access ControlControl Activity The organization is in the process of implementing an IAM system to ensure that access levels are role-based and that no shared accounts exist. The system is expected to be fully deployed by Q4 of FY14. Two factor authentication is in the process of being deployed for high risk systems which contain PII, customer data or are critical to delivering the agency mission. The organization is in the process of implementing an IAM system to ensure that access levels are role-based and that no shared accounts exist. Two factor authentication is in the process of being deployed for high risk systems.

  28. Example 2: Access ControlEffectiveness Annual audits

  29. Example 2: Access ControlEffectiveness The agency’s internal audit team reviews access control exceptions reports for compliance with agency policy Aannually. Audits The agency has a goal of disabling non-current accounts within 12 hours. The agency has established a 99% effectiveness rate as a goal for all access control measures. Annual audits

  30. Example 2: Access ControlEfficiency Annual audits

  31. Example 2: Access ControlEfficiency Annual audits The agency’s business owners review access control process and procedures to ensure that information owners are clearly identified and that access to business critical functions is not delayed for new employees. Annual audits

  32. Example 2: Access ControlRoadmap Continue implementing IAM as resources are available.

  33. Example 2: Access ControlRoadmap The agency will cContinueimplementing IAM as resources are available. Once the IAM system is fully implemented (expected by Q4 of FY14), the agency will investigate how to use this system for use as a single-sign on tool for additional agency web based applications. Continue implementing IAM as resources are available.

  34. Example 3: Data ClassificationControl Objective • Data classification provides a framework for managing data assets and information resources based on utility to the organization, intrinsic financial value and impact of loss and other associated risks. To apply the appropriate levels of protection as required by state and federal law as well as proprietary, ethical, operational, and privacy considerations, data, whether electronic or printed, must be classified. The data owner should consult with the Information Security organization and legal counsel on the classification of data as Restricted, Confidential, Agency-Internal, or Public. Consistent use of data classification reinforces with users the expected level of protection of data assets in accordance with required security policies. • Assume part of agency is at a level 2 and part at 4 for example 3 • Pattern Controls • Data classification policies and processes are defined and repeatable. Across the organization, there is a common understanding of what are the organization's most important and sensitive information. Data owners have been identified for most information. • Data is managed by technology that requires classification as new data is created. Automated policies ensure data is consistently classified across the organization. Data classification monitoring is continuous, proactive and preventative involving appropriate metrics. Resources are prioritized based on the classification / criticality / business value of hardware, devices, data, and software. Critical data has been de-duplicated, to minimize the copies that must be inventoried.    

  35. Example 3: Data ClassificationRoadmap Improve compliance with the data classification plan.

  36. Example 3: Data ClassificationRoadmap The agency has spent time and resources ensuring that PII and customer data is properly classified for business critical systems. Over the next 12 months, the agency will expand the scope of its data classification project to ensure that all program areas Improve complyiancewith the data classification plan. Improve compliance with the data classification plan.

  38. What is DIR going to do with the data? • SB 1134 tells DIR to develop a framework • SB 1597 does not indicate what DIR is expected to do with agency security plans received • We will analyze the data for outliers • What can we do to help agencies with lower maturity? • We learn from agencies with higher maturity?

  39. What can agencies do with the data? • Appropriations • Focus resources • Build a common lexicon • Provide visibility during transitions

  40. How should large organizations structure their response? • Framework is flexible enough for multiple scenarios • Single ISO for entity • Entity with multiple divisions • Large entities with multiple IT groups and funding sources
