Jack,

Nice job!

Executives need the right Lens to look through so they can understand the problem and the investment. Cyber Risk management and security is another investment area and if they can see the return in terms of revenue (or lost revenue) they will invest which will benefit all.

Excellent Post!
This is a terrific article analyzing cyberrisk for the enterprise at a business perspective vs. technical perspective.  

As a former CISO -- and someone who struggled to get the "management on board" with cyber risk -- your one comment "...personnel routinely choose not to comply with cyberrisk policies because management places greater emphasis on revenue, budgets, and/or deadlines...." really hit home.

To minimize this response by the employees/contractors/vendors the CEO and Board Chair need to be the key messengers broadcasting the message that cyber and physical risk is EVERYONE's concern and that revenue will be negatively impacted by poor security and risk practices/analysis.

Again, well done!

Visibility is key
Developing the ability to see what is going on is critical for the IT and executive staff to change the behaviors you have just described.  IT security solutions need to provide behavioral analysis that helps recognize what is out of norm and a potential threat.  The big data analysis offered today deals with millions of security logs and results in escalation of many false-positives and therefore an overrated risk profile on everything -as you mentioned-.

Everything You Need to Know About DNS Attacks
It's important to understand DNS, potential attacks against it, and the tools and techniques required to defend DNS infrastructure. This report answers all the questions you were afraid to ask. Domain Name Service (DNS) is a critical part of any organization's digital infrastructure, but it's also one of the least understood. DNS is designed to be invisible to business professionals, IT stakeholders, and many security professionals, but DNS's threat surface is large and widely targeted. Attackers are causing a great deal of damage with an array of attacks such as denial of service, DNS cache poisoning, DNS hijackin, DNS tunneling, and DNS dangling. They are using DNS infrastructure to take control of inbound and outbound communications and preventing users from accessing the applications they are looking for. To stop attacks on DNS, security teams need to shore up the organization's security hygiene around DNS infrastructure, implement controls such as DNSSEC, and monitor DNS traffic
