June 19, 2008 Chapter Luncheon

Topic: Shrill, Hysterical and Misunderstood? Four Practical Steps for Building a high-performing Information Security Organization
Date:  Thursday, June 19, 2008
Time:  12:00 - 1:30 pm
Speaker: Gene Kim is the CTO and founder of Tripwire, Inc. and Paul Love - CISSP, CISA, CISM,  Director of Information Security at The Standard.

One of the most important trends in 2008 is the transition taking place in information security.  In this age of ever increasing information security risks, regulatory compliance requirements and the need to support the organization, information securitys days as a stand-alone effort needs to end. While security shares the same objectives as others in the organization -- to ensure that IT is helping the business meet its goals, effectively, efficiently and securely -- enterprise security management functions are being pushed out into IT units and business groups. So, how can information security survive in this environment without constantly being at odds with IT operations and compliance efforts? Based on 10 years of research, the Security Visible Ops methodology describes how to link IT security and operational objectives in four practical steps by integrating security controls into IT operational, software development and project management processes.

Gene Kim is the CTO and founder of Tripwire, Inc.  In 1992, he co-authored Tripwire while at Purdue University with Dr. Gene Spafford.  Since then, Tripwire has been adopted by more than 6,000 enterprises worldwide. Since 1999, he has been studying high performing IT operations and security organizations, which led Gene to co-found the IT Process Institute (ITPI) in 2004. In conjunction with the ITPI, Gene co-authored the "Visible Ops

Handbook: Implementing ITIL in Four Practical And Auditable Steps" which has since sold over 75,000 copies.  He was a principal investigator on the IT Controls Performance Study project, and in 2008, he co-authored the Security Visible Ops, a handbook describing how to link IT security and operational objectives in four practical steps by integrating security controls into IT operational, software development and project management processes. Gene currently serves on the Advanced Technology Committee for the Institute of Internal Auditors where he is part of the GAIT task force, which has created guidance on how to scope IT general controls for SOX-404.

In 2007, he was given the Outstanding Alumnus Award by the Department of Computer Sciences at Purdue University for achievement and leadership in the profession.

Paul Love - CISSP, CISA, CISM, Security+, has been in the IT field for over 15 years. Paul holds a Masters of Science degree in Network Security and a Bachelors in Information Systems. He has co-authored three security books, contributed to multiple Linux/Unix books, and has been the technical editor for over 10 best selling Linux and Unix books. Paul ran a successful Linux portal site during the dot com era and has been an avid Unix/Linux user and administrator both professionally and as a hobby for many years.
