Security Data Maturity Model Whitepaper

Free the CISO, a podcast series that attempts to free CISOs from their shackles so they can focus on securing their organization, is produced by CIO.com in partnership with DataBee®, from Comcast Technology Solutions.
In each episode, Robin Das, Executive Director at Comcast under the DataBee team, explores the CISO’s role through the position’s relationship with other security stakeholders, from regulators and the Board of Directors to internal personnel and outside vendors.
Harnessing Security Data for Better Business Outcomes
While all data consumers within an organization stand to benefit from big data insights, security teams might have the most to gain, but also face some of the greatest challenges. The sheer volume of data, combined with the large number of different security controls producing data in their own unique ‘silo’, makes mining that data for helpful security insights difficult and time intensive.
This Security Data Maturity Model (SDMM) whitepaper provides a conceptual framework that helps security teams measure and categorize how well their organization can assess, analyze and leverage data to help protect and secure the organization’s infrastructure. Developing and using a SDMM is vital for an organization to understand its security posture and journey.
A SDMM can help organizations:
- Develop an overall security data strategy.
- Gain deeper organizational insights that drive better data-driven decisions.
- Facilitate the move from a “reactive” to a “proactive” state with the systems, resources, and processes needed to get ahead of bad actors.
- Align its security and business goals across business units.
- Save money by focusing on tools and resources that best deliver actionable insights.
