2. © BT PLC 2005 Objectives of the presentation To review the drivers and challenges Dealing with collaboration Risk reviews & modelling Compliance Testing Summary Questions

3. © BT PLC 2005 Defence Drivers & Trends Modernisation of armed forces Reduction in defence budgets Rapid deployment of armed forces on overseas missions Global role - Nation’s eyes only Interoperability of Command & Control Prime contracting (PFI) - partners take share of responsibility / risk The increased threat from cyber space Foreign intelligence services and identity theft management Homeland / National ICT Defence Increase in overseas peace keeping commitments with other foreign powers Increased infrastructure attack from Cyber terrorism

4. © BT PLC 2005 Additional Drivers I ncreased pressure for Information Governance Regulatory Compliance Need to demonstrate Stake holder value Public monies being put to good use Accurate information available for C3I decision making CC3I – Command Control Communication Information!

5. © BT PLC 2005 Challenges Maintaining the confidentiality, integrity and availability of defence infrastructure Protection of defence infrastructure against attack from foreign powers (covert / overt) Information Assurance (defence accreditation of information and systems such as NATO Classified) Modernisation of armed services on reduced budgets Recruiting and retaining the right personnel Increased use of ‘ICT Networks’ to deliver Command & Control

6. © BT PLC 2005 Commercial Risk–Based Management: Defence in Depth Balanced assessment of risk probability v risk impact v cost of mitigation etc: Dynamically translated into strategies, rules, practices, processes and procedures etc. Regularly reviewed. The People Includes: Recruiting, selection, clearances, access rights and other controls (both on joining and on leaving the organisation), alternate resource pools, monitoring, auditing, communication, awareness, training etc. The physical infrastructure Includes: Sites and their locations, adjacent “threats” (natural and man- made), utility service provision and back-ups, alternate sites, physical hardware assets (down to granular levels – e.g. – signed off holdings of desk-top assets), access controls, guarding, alerting, monitoring, testing, auditing etc. The information infrastructure Includes: Data, voice and IP network information transfer systems, and associated information storage and back-up facilities etc. Information retention policies also apply.

7. © BT PLC 2005 Security In Depth People, not just technology Policy, communication and awareness Firewalls (interconnect policies) Define allowed traffic in and out of security domain Intrusion detection systems and penetration tests Monitoring and alert Security configuration compliance Servers Server sensors, patching and configuration check Desktop Anti-virus software, patching and configuration Web filters Where are your people going, what are they doing? Logging and auditing
