Management Responsibility

I have enjoyed to read this acritical and it just make my opinion that Cyber-events can't be manage by the CISO. Cyber-attack at these days are impact almost all layers of business and need to be manage by BCM (Business Continuity Management) team. This team can have other name depending on the business but most of the time this team run by a senior executive management member. The CISO team have an important and critical role by blocking and contain the attack but its go further and the recovery process can be take days, months and beyond. The real message also should be for that board and executive management need to take responsibility for overall Cyber risk including "back to normal" and then we can go for drills, r&r in major cyber event.

Re: Public relations scenario
I wrote this for humor but one helluva lot of it comes out of Experian and consulting such as City of Atlanta last year and general knowledge of IBM and Wipro.  Parts of this little diatribe are very very true.  This is how many firms manage a breach either in sum total or in parts.  While funny it is also mostly real world so smile, laugh but then think a bit.  How would YOUR firm respond?

Fifth week - we fired Wipro

  Day 2 of Fifth week - we hired IBM to investigate.

  Day 3 of fifth week - we fired IBM and hired ex-FBI agents to investigate.

Sixth week - Our initial survey indicated that minimal loss of customer data exists.

Seventh week - FBI agents report significant amounts of customer data are being sold on the dark web.

Eighth week - we offer free credit monitoring service.

Ninth week - CIO and CISO have been fired.  CEO to testify before Congress.

Tenth week - shareholders demand firing of CEO

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
