It seems like yesterday that we were together in Austin at the conference with our sponsors. We bring the sponsors to our conference by invitation only and we should remain mindful of the importance of communication with those sponsors throughout the year. We have been promoting to our sponsors the importance of setting up A&E websites to make available key design documentation such as specifications, data sheets and pricing. One of platinum sponsors recently used IAPSC guidance to influence the employer to set up am A&E site, but then received very little in the way of registration for this site after influencing the employer to make the expenditure. This type of activity only takes a minute to get registered and it is important that we provide this type of support to our sponsors as they have provided support to us. Further, it is also appropriate to share success stories back with the sponsors when we find a great match for our clients to specify their products. We have some top tier partners and the security business is driven on relationships and relationship management. Keeping the lines of communication open to continue to track and monitor product development and advancements is incumbent on every consultant whether you are doing management, technical or forensic consulting. ASIS is coming up and I intend to visit the sponsor booths to check out what is new and exciting. Please also note that we have a space set up on the members only section of the site.

The foundation of what we do in InfoSec is all based on risk. How we select controls to reduce the likelihood and impact of threats and vulnerabilities stems from our risk assessments. Every compliance standard mandates one form of risk assessment be done as a part of an organization's security program. But not all risk assessments are done the same way nor do they produce the same results.

Much of what is done in security is transaction oriented (i.e., tactical). There are photographs taken for ID cards, visitors processed, guard tours conducted, data entered into electronic access system databases, alarms monitored, incident reports taken, investigations conducted, etc. Transaction oriented activities are necessary components of a security program. If there are no major incidents, however, it is easy to fall into a comfortable routine and think the security program is running smoothly and effectively.

Statistics from the Identity Theft Resource Center, a nonprofit that tracks U.S. data breaches, strongly suggest that 2017 will be a record breaker. According to the organization, there have been over 800 reported breaches as of late July. This already puts us ahead of every year the ITRC has been tracking except one: 2016, the former champ, which came in at 1,093 breaches for the whole year. At this rate, we should surpass last year's ITRC numbers by about 40 percent.
