USE CASE: DLP PRE-PROJECT STATE
Organization Overview: Medical Device & Pharmaceutical Manufacturer, 40,000 employees globally
DLP Scope: Protection of Intellectual Property (General)
DLP Primary Issue: Customer overwhelmed with inaccurate incident data, no meaningful information
Application Management: Operated and managed by IT Security with limited input from business
Policy Governance: Failure to use a lifecycle software development process for policy construction
Incident Triage: Infrequently reviewed by IT with little to no review by business owners
Event Management: Hard to accomplish due to large # of false positives. No “gold nuggets”
Reporting and Metrics: Zero customized reports. No relevant business analysis provided
Status: System generates 25,000 incidents/day / 750,000 incidents/month
BEW GLOBAL METHODOLOGY
BEW GLOBAL’S CORE DIFFERENTIATORS
Methodology based on the cornerstones of ISO Plan-Do-Check-Act
Leverage our proven Quality Management System (QMS) to drive continuous improvement
Reduce risk and increase operational efficiencies
ASSESS QUANTIFY IMPLEMENT OPTIMIZE REVIEW
POLICY & RULE GOVERNANCE
Who requests rules & policy requirements?
Are business owners engaged?
Who reviews rule requests?
Criteria for approved rule?
What’s the process for converting a rule request into a policy?
Who’s responsible for converting a rule into technical policy? Do they have technical policy authoring expertise?
What is the formal policy development process?
First drafts rarely work as expected!
Is there a process to relay production policy metrics to stakeholders?
WORKFLOW DEVELOPMENT & MANAGEMENT
Who develops & manages policy “buckets”? False positive, inbound partner, outbound employee
Who defines thresholds that determine response rules for each “bucket”? Are 10 SSNs a high, medium or low severity incident?
Who designs & sets the policy response triggers?
Malicious, Inadvertent, Suspicious, above threshold.
Triage response options: Human notification System notification (auto) Hybrid?
Who’s responsible for building alerts, alarms & notifications? Has business been engaged on event management?
Who manages the DLP policy & rules repository? Why recreate the wheel?
Who reviews volume & yield of incidents & events? What’s the review frequency?
How are events/incidents routed? Who owns the incident/event?
How does DLP fit in overall incident/event management process?
Can this be mapped to DLP system?
What metrics are developed to measure success of rules & related policy?
Who ‘s responsible for developing metrics?
Revision of rules based on quality of policy results.
Who manages policy optimization process?
How will integrated systems be tied together to yield valued info?
Secure mail, web gateway, GRC, SIEM

BUSINESS ANALYTICS
Who develops reports?
Are DLP system generated reports adequate?
Who drives report requirements? Requestors, Reviewers, others?
Do they have the expertise with 3rd party reporting tools?
Are the metrics valuable & driving meaningful change?
Report accuracy tied into QA process?
APPLICATION MANAGEMENT PITFALL
Problem: Current IT infrastructure management is often inadequately trained for planning, deployment and ongoing operational management of DLP system. (Oracle vs. SQL, etc.)
Solution: Better internal planning & cross functional involvement. In addition to outsourced 3rd party management of on premise solution or fully managed cloud-based delivery. This provides you with instant expertise reducing the need for staffing and providing higher availability.
Inadequate Planning & Resources
Inadequately Trained Infrastructure Resources
POLICY GOVERNANCE PITFALLNo Plan of Attack
Problem: A survey of 50 DLP customers in 2010 said 83% of firms did not consider the overall DLP system cycle & the necessary resources for optimal system usage prior to solution acquisition. Inadequate or lack of resources leads to poor policy construction & unmanageable incidents.
Solution: A well thought out DLP scope with a supporting policy governance process that is VERY inclusive of business units input as well as involvement with the triage & event management process. There must be people budgeted for any DLP project as well as preparation for business unit buy-in.
Inadequate Planning & Resources
POLICY GOVERNANCE PITFALLFai lure to Engage the Business
Stuck in the IT Department
• Problem: A survey of 50 DLP customers in 2010 said 76% of firms stated the DLP system technical management & daily operations were the responsibility of a group directly involved with IT. In these cases it is very rare to find heavy involvement from business owners directly involved with the creation & usage of the data targeted for protection.
• Solution: Designation of a primary business owner of the DLP solution, in conjunction with technical management, is the best recipe for success on the front-end planning phase of the project. Without direct & serious involvement from the business, it is very likely that the entire DLP program will never get more than mediocre results.
POLICY GOVERNANCE PITFALLLack of Rule Customizat ion
Inaccuracy of Out-of-Box (OOB) Policies
• Problem: The reliance of organizations to use OOB policies as the primary detection criteria for their DLP scope. In many cases data identifiers in OOB policies may never capture unique attributes of a organizations information targets, yielding a combination of false positives and false negatives which lead to an unmanageable incident yield.
• Solution: Prior to enabling ANY managed production policies, it is highly recommended to select one primary data criteria to focus initial efforts. Once agreed upon, use business process mapping to capture how the data is used and stored. Then, obtain examples and construct policies based on the collected data.
DATA-IN-MOTION PITFALLS: Missing the Target – Fa lse Sense o f Secur i ty
Mis-configured Tap or Port Span
ProblemMissing segments of network traffic or protocols
SolutionComprehensive test plan that maps to in scope business processes and related data types transmitted from various network locations to ensure all relevant data streams are being captured.
Encryption – The Masked Data
Problem Analysis of data DID not take place prior to encryption.
SolutionComprehensive test plan that proves ALL DLP data assessment takes place prior to the gateway encryption & implement managed “test” DLP policies that identify encrypted transmissions as part of the test plan.
Misfire of Network Discovery Scans
Problem Locations of sensitive data never targeted by the organization for scanning due to lack of an effective policy governance process.
SolutionIdentify potential data stores by discussing the DLP program with staff to understand process.
Network versus Endpoint Discovery
Problem Running DAR scans using a combo of network & endpoint without thinking about which policy types & detection methods are not the same.
SolutionPrior to acquiring DLP solution, have an understanding of the data types that make up your target environment & then, decide on scanning method. .

User PerformanceImpacts
Network/System Performance Impacts
• ProblemNo rigorous endpoint environment assessment prior to the selection of the application & enablement.
• SolutionAddress age of environment, performance capabilities, technical & human issues, & load of applications, in conjunction with education on the DLP endpoints.
• Problem Failure to monitor endpoint population & their frequency of “checking-in” to the management server with validated results.
• SolutionPhased deployment of endpoint with validation via test plan on initial success of ALL agents & on-going endpoint agent health reports.
• Problem Implementing same policies for network based & endpoint assessments without testing or modification.
• SolutionUtilize a comprehensive test plan outlining specific metrics (time to open files, open/send emails, open applications) prior to deployment.
• Problem Failure to calculate & measure the impact of endpoint policy traffic across wide & local area network connections.
• SolutionThorough assessment of endpoint policies that addresses all of the concerns including policy design requirements, timing, frequency & delivery methods.
