Cybersecurity Framework Components Aligns industry standards and best practices to the Framework Core in a particular implementation scenario Supports prioritization and measurement while factoring in business needs Cybersecurity activities and informative references, organized around particular outcomes Framework Profile Framework Core Framework Implementation Tiers Describes how cybersecurity risk is managed by an organization and degree the risk management practices exhibit key characteristics Enables communication of cyber risk across an organization
Implementation Tiers Cybersecurity Framework Component Risk Informed Partial None Repeatable Adaptive • Allow for flexibility in implementation and bring in concepts of • • • maturity models Reflect how an organization implements the Framework Core functions and manages its risk Progressive, ranging from Partial (Tier 1) to Adaptive (Tier 4), with each Tier building on the previous Tier Characteristics are defined at the organizational level and are applied to the Framework Core to determine how a category is implemented. 5
Framework Core What processes and assets need protection? What safeguards are available? What techniques can identify incidents? What techniques can contain impacts of incidents? What techniques can restore capabilities?

Profile Cybersecurity Framework Component Ways to think about a Profile: • A customization of the Core for a given sector, subsector, or organization Identify Protect Detect Respond Recover • A fusion of business/mission logic and cybersecurity outcomes • An alignment of cybersecurity requirements with operational methodologies • A basis for assessment and expressing target state • A decision support tool for cybersecurity risk management 8
Using Profiles to Communicate Priorities
Building a Profile A Profile Can be Created in Three Steps 1 2 Cybersecurity Requirements Legislation Regulation Internal & External Policy Best Practice Mission Priority Objective 1 A 2 B 3 C Subcategory 1 2 3 … 98 Operating Methodologies 3 Guidance and methodology on implementing, managing, and monitoring 10
Resource and Budget Decisioning What Can You Do with a CSF Profile As-Is Subcategory 1 2 3 … 98 Priority moderate high moderate … moderate Year 1 To-Be Year 2 To-Be Year 1 Year 2 Gaps Activities small X large X medium X … none reassess …and supports on-going operational decisions too 11
Key Attributes • It’s a framework, not a prescription • It provides a common language and systematic methodology for managing cyber risk • It is meant to be adapted • It does not tell a company how much cyber risk is tolerable, nor does it claim to provide “the one and only” formula for cybersecurity • Having a common lexicon to enable action across a very diverse set of stakeholders will enable the best practices of elite companies to become standard practices for everyone • The framework is a living document • It is intended to be updated over time as stakeholders learn from implementation, and as technology and risks change • That’s one reason why the framework focuses on questions an organization needs to ask itself to manage its risk. While practices, technology, and standards will change over time—principals will not
Industry Use The Framework is designed to complement existing business and cybersecurity operations, and has been used to: • Self-Assessment, Gap Analysis, Budget & Resourcing Decisions • Standardizing Communication Between Business Units • Harmonize Security Operations with Audit • Communicate Requirements with Partners and Suppliers • Describe Applicability of Products and Services • Identify Opportunities for New or Revised Standards • Categorize College Course Catalogs • As a Part of Cybersecurity Certifications • Categorize and Organize Requests for Proposal Responses • Consistent dialog, both within and amongst countries • Common platform on which to innovate, by identifying market opportunities where tools and capabilities may not exist today
Case Studies Compare-Contrast Intel Boeing Source: case study + RSA sessions Pilot Description Source: RSA sessions Survey of key personnel about the state of security • relative to Category level outcomes • Using augmented Implementation Tiers to measure current and target state Survey of key personnel about the state of security • relative to Category level outcomes • Using Implementation Tiers to measure current and target state Intel IT - a service organization, offers solutions to other business units that drive other products Internal security operations across multiple divisions • augmented the Tier definitions to provide environmentspecific guidance to assessors • Added a fourth Category, Threat Intelligence, to Detect • Created additional Subcategories to better reflect how Intel manages each Category • none Value Received • harmonization of risk management technologies and language across the enterprise • improved visibility into Intel’s risk landscape • better-informed risk tolerance discussions • the ability to better set security priorities, develop capital and operational expenditure budgets, and deploy security solutions • Categories and Tiers provided easy to understand structure to communicate gaps and map projects against gaps • Mapping activity has resulted in changing project priority and implementation of some recommendations • Framework mapping now included in project proposals and RFI/RFP responses by cyber security business unit Feedback • Include the cyberthreat intelligence lifecycle • Relevant threat agents and actors • Threat agents’ and actors’ tactics, techniques, and procedures • Incidents and campaigns • Incident handling and vulnerability management • • Tailor the CSF for your business CSF is flexible and adaptive enough for different domains Implement for Intel manufacturing (approx. 73% of Intel) Implement on a broader basis internally and use with external customers Scope Adaptation Lessons Learned Next Steps Add cyberthreat intelligence lifecycle Consider an active pursuit (aka “hunt”) Subcategory Profile examples would be helpful Risk Informed is a property that spans all Tiers, so it may not be a good choice as a Tier Title

Background
CEOs Cyber Risk Dilemma Our Board has a duty to protect its assets (including digital assets) and shareholder value. Share Value = EPS X P: E Multiple We consider factors affecting earnings, cash and PE Multiples (incl. brand erosion indices) Yet we still have a difficult time linking cyber risk and share value.
Continued Board Challenges & Questions 1. Briefings in Tech language, not in EPS or P: E multiple factor terms 2. Where is Cyber in Board Risk Committee? 3. Who highlights cyber impact in 10 Q financials, footnotes or MDA narratives? 4. Is there a cyber allocation in the ERM budget? 5. Do they quantify the cyber impact on financial and reputation exposure and its share value impact?
