Maximise Existing ICT Investment to Achieve GPG 13 Compliance

Protective monitoring is perceived by many within UK government to be about logging. Event logs are good security practise, but protective monitoring also requires the ability to detect anomalies, be able to quickly and easily ascertain their business impact, and take the appropriate action.

Significant cost reductions have impacted security budgets, and protective monitoring is often one of the first projects to be shelved because its value isn't recognized. UK government needs to shift their perspective about protective monitoring as a means to cost effectively manage their ICT environments to achieve GPG 13 compliance and protect sensitive data by:

• Detecting unauthorised changes by authorised staff
• SLA management - was the application available and working?
• Identifying non compliance to build standards
• Identifying users deploying unauthorised software
• Listing and recording the attachment of external devices and new hardware
• Identification of data change and alteration, who, what, when and how

In this webinar, Ed Hamilton, Senior Manager of Analysys Mason will outline practical, cost effective actions that internal resources can undertake to improve the protective monitoring within your organisation.
