Synergy in Security: Why a Combined ISO 17799 and OCTAVE Approach Makes Sense
Overview Information systems today resemble museums more than medieval castles. The castle description of information security describes a perimeter-centric model of inside and outside. This doesn't apply as elnitiatives, third party support and outsourcing requires the perimeter to become porous. Like a museum, the challenge is to identify the critical assets and protect not just the perimeter of the network, but those assets as well. An ideal approach would be one that integrates the audit, risk assessment, recommendations and strategy into a single system. It would offer a non-propriety, tested methodology that could be replicated. The audit and risk assessment would also clearly define the mission critical elements; this makes the prioritization process in the recommendations and strategy deliverables straightforward. This is exactly the solution this paper outlines.
