We live in world reliant upon cyber
infrastructure. Governments and private industries depend
upon a secure, uninterrupted cyber-universe. Visual
intelligence is key to security, defense and recovery
operations. While current infrastructure management involves
disparate security and detection systems, GIS (Geographic
Information Systems) offers security analysts the
opportunity to bring these systems into a single common
operating picture. GIS can enable better decision making,
faster response and more informative post-incident analysis
when cyber infrastructure is threatened or attacked.
Network administrators and law enforcement
personnel are often on the front lines of cyber infrastructure
intrusion detection and defense. These individuals know the
logical layout of networks and security measures and are
diligent in protecting them from various internal and external
cyber threats. However, commonly overlooked are the physical
and geographic vulnerabilities of networks. These
vulnerabilities are real, and the impact can be high and
costly. In the recent Department of Homeland Security "CyberStorm"
exercise, one of the scenarios simulated a cyber incident
where a utility company's computer system was breached,
causing numerous disruptions to the power grid. The intent of
the scenario was to highlight the interconnectedness of cyber
security with physical infrastructure and to exercise
coordination and communication between the public and private
sectors.
DHS Secretary Michael
Cherthoff noted in
2005 that "securing our cyber systems is critical not only to
ensuring a way of life to which we have become accustomed, but
more importantly to secure the vast infrastructure these
systems support and operate." At the GIS in Cyber
Security Breakfast, you will learn how GIS is
uniquely positioned to model the cascading effects of cyber
threats and attacks, and to support an overall cybersecurity
approach. It offers better contingency planning through
modeling the ramifications of a cyber/physical attack, and a
near real-time global view of cyber/critical infrastructure.
What
You Will Learn:
How GIS can enhance decision making through visualization,
monitoring and threat analysis
Recent uses and examples of GIS in physical security,
protection and in the management of critical infrastructure
The capabilities and potential of GIS when applied
to technical security
How GIS can provide a critical link between physical and
technical security in Network Management Systems
The importance of physical and technical security in
Homeland Security
