In the general sense, good security \u2014 sufficient protection from immediate harm and adequate mitigation of long-term risks \u2014 depends on common aspects of strategy, mindset, operations, and training, wherever you may work.<\/p>\n<p>There are stark differences, of course, in the nature of threats and the focus of protectors across elite protection and cybersecurity disciplines. Armed assassins targeting the president during a public speech pose a different type of threat than malicious code delivered across the Internet by a compromised website. Hardening a forward operating base in hostile territory against rocket propelled grenades is a different type of work than hardening the operating system of a critical server.<\/p>\n<p>Nonetheless, four common principles of planning and preparation exist across elite protection and cybersecurity disciplines that deserve consideration by anyone who takes security seriously.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Principle 1: Know What You&#8217;re Protecting<\/strong><br \/>At the outset, understanding mission and scope is essential. Protectors must have absolute clarity on who and what they are expected to protect. They need to understand what the ultimate desired outcomes are and what they are willing to sacrifice if forced to make trade-offs. Military planners, for example, conduct extensive &#8220;mission analysis&#8221; to ensure clarity on objectives, responsibilities, and authorities so that everyone is in sync before the operation begins. For cybersecurity professionals, this translates to understanding scope and prioritizing security controls accordingly.<\/p>\n<p>Law enforcement professionals in executive protection are trained to do something no other law enforcement professionals will do: leave a fellow officer behind. During the critical seconds of an attack, protection teams will &#8220;cover and evacuate&#8221; their principal, getting them out of harm&#8217;s way toward a designated safe room or armored vehicle. Only after the principal is secure will they tend to their teammates. Similarly, cybersecurity teams need to determine \u2014 ahead of time \u2014 which assets and business functions they are willing to shut down, if necessary, to contain a breach.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Principle 2: Plan Obsessively<\/strong><br \/>From Secret Service agents &#8220;advancing&#8221; a presidential trip to Marine Raiders gearing up for a night reconnaissance patrol, planning is an obsession. So, too, for cybersecurity professionals. Every detail must be studied, and every contingency planned for, with proper personnel, equipment, and procedures in place to ensure success.<\/p>\n<p>Even so, no plan ever survives real-life execution completely intact. There are just too many factors beyond the control of planners, chief among them the behavior of adversaries. So, why spend so much time and effort in planning? Because the planning <em>process<\/em> itself is so valuable. As a general, and later president, Dwight Eisenhower said, &#8220;Plans are useless, but planning is indispensable.&#8221; Detailed cybersecurity plans, including elements from compliance requirements and best-practice frameworks to security operations center (SOC) workflows and response guidelines, are difficult to draft and even harder to implement. But the planning process itself has many benefits, often unforeseeable at the time the plans are written.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Principle 3: Harden the Target<\/strong><br \/>Making a physical target more difficult to harm is a well-understood principle applied by elite protectors. Typically, this begins with hardening the target itself, or the environment in which the target resides, so that it can withstand attacks. Whether securing presidential mansions or forward operating bases, this effort includes improving building design and erecting barriers. The goal is to better withstand the most common types of attack.<\/p>\n<p>In cybersecurity, this means improving system security by modifying configurations \u2014 those pre-existing options for customization. Secure configuration standards such as <a href=\"https:\/\/learn.cisecurity.org\/benchmarks\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">CIS Security Benchmarks<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/public.cyber.mil\/stigs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">DISA STIGS<\/a> provide essential guidance in this area. It&#8217;s the basic work of locking existing doors, turning on cameras, and setting the alarm. Mitigating evolving vulnerabilities via vulnerability assessment, patching, and remediation is also essential to hardening the target.<\/p>\n<p>Another aspect of target hardening is controlling access, since no principal (or web application server) can perform their function without interacting with others. Because it&#8217;s impossible to know the threat level of every person requesting access, we must choose a strategy for mitigating risk by managing access proactively, either by blacklisting or whitelisting. Blacklisting is the equivalent of the TSA no-fly list (a list of known individuals who are <em>denied<\/em> access) and corresponds to antivirus software. Whitelisting, on the other hand, is the equivalent of an invitation to a White House event (a list of known individuals who are <em>granted<\/em> access) and corresponds to application whitelisting. The latter is much more secure but much more disruptive to operations.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Principle 4: Study the Threat but Don&#8217;t Obsess<\/strong><br \/>Elite protectors know that threat intelligence is important. Knowing who is trying to harm you, what their capabilities are, and how they plan to attack is very useful. But protectors also know that obsessing about threat intelligence is not good, either. There will always be unknowns and surprises. Rather than defensive actions driven by knee-jerk reactions to the latest threat report, seasoned protectors will leverage comprehensive threat intelligence to inform and improve defenses as part of an ongoing effort.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, cybersecurity professionals implement threat-informed defensive recommendations, such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/attack.mitre.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">MITRE ATT&amp;CK<\/a> framework. This approach reduces the tendency to make endless changes, undermining the cohesion of a sound strategy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Read Part 2, <strong>&#8220;<\/strong><\/em><strong><em>How Elite Protectors Operationalize Security Protection<\/em><\/strong><em>,<strong>&#8220;<\/strong> tomorrow at 10 a.m. Eastern time, for more on how principles of elite protection can inform cybersecurity.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Related Content:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p> <span class=\"italic\">Maurice Uenuma, Vice President, Federal &amp; Enterprise, Tripwire Maurice Uenuma is vice president, federal &amp; enterprise at Tripwire.
