Measuring the value of information security programs is difficult and a problem for the entire industry. Come join us for a 3 part series discussing the challenges, how Intel is taking a practical approach, and where the future may take information security metrics.
Last week, Matthew Rosenquist & I discussed why measuring ROSI is important, and the very difficult challenges in doing so. In this second of the three part series, we will discuss a practical approach to determine value of information security initiatives. Joining Matt & myself this week from Costa Rica is Enrique Herrera, who will discuss an actual Intel case study.
The show is 30 minutes, starting tomorrow (May 29) at 10:30 PDT. To listen in, go to the OpenPort home page, and a little ways down on the left side you'll find the BlogTalk Radio link. Take that link and follow the instructions. You don't need an account to listen or participate in the discussion. If you can't make it live, you can also find the recorded sessions there too, after the show.
See you there!

INTEL SAYS IT WILL not be shutting down the Intel Technology Journal (ITJ). It says previous reports claiming the journal is to be transformed into a redundant spin machine, rather than the goldmine of company white papers and technology articles it previously was, are false.
Although ITJ will indeed be undergoing a management change, with long time editor Lin Chao, moving on to greener pastures within the company's Microprocessor Technology Lab, Chipzilla insists this doesn't mean the journal will see any changes in either content or orientation. In fact, according to a company spinner, it will remain as complex and technical as ever, or in his words,"not for mere mortals".
The journal's new editor is Rich Bowles, who heads up Intel Press, which the firm vehemently denies is just a marticle-producing spin machine. Intel Press, says Chipzilla, is the technical book publishing arm of the company, publishing technical books in various languages for engineers and SW developers. These books purportedly go some way to helping developers understand and design platforms based on whatever new products Intel is
churning out.
The spinner told the INQ that the journal's next issue would deal primarily with Penryn architecture, and would include several articles covering the chip design, architecture and features. Also, according to Intel's PR since the articles will be written by the chip engineers themselves, the articles should be virtually devoid of spin.
Fingers crossed. µ
