SYNOPSIS
For many projects operational control is often an afterthought and is seldom considered at the requirements and design phases.
• Why is this?
• What is a control? Are there different types of control?
• How do they operate?
• Can we measure their effectiveness?
Many Infosec controls are invisible, either because they are in the code, or are operating on transactions which are themselves invisible. How can assurance professionals help design well controlled systems? Is there a link between risk and control? What is the process for designing strong controls at the design phase? This session will attempt to lift the veil on the mystery surrounding the simple statement, “this system lacks adequate control”.
