Presentation 2: Moving on from Maturity Assessments: A Better Way to Measure Cyber Security Effectiveness
Organisations rely mainly on two inputs to gauge the effectiveness of cyber security practices of an organisation: maturity assessments and penetration testing. In theory, combining a top down assessments like maturity assessments and bottom up assessments like penetration testing, should be a good indicator of cyber security effectiveness. In reality, results from assessments can often tell conflicting stories, where maturity might be high but hands-on testing reveal systemic control gaps and failures. How do we get these results to align?

In order to do this, organisations need to think about their security assessment strategy holistically and select the right combination of security assessments to ensure that we get an accurate picture of our organisation's cyber security posture. 

In this talk, Jennifer will touch on what the limitations of current security assessment practices. Additionally, she will discuss the different types of security assessments that organisations should consider as part of the security assessment strategy and how to pick, choose and tailor these assessments to maximise the value and output of each assessment.
