8. The role of ICT as an enabler in a low oil price world
9. How did we all get here….
……and where is “here”
Chasing the barrels not the bucks
The law of supply and demand…
- Which direction of change reacts quickest?
Sustainable Business is key.
10. The Levers for Change…
• The Basics… more oil and/or lower cost
• How can IT help with these challenges
• Working with our supply chain
• Need to challenge the statics
• ‘Upgrade or Die!’
11. Opportunity or Threat?
Kotter’s model…
A driver for change… a common cause
Re-baseline to a sustainable industry.
12. Enabling Technologies
Collaboration
Consolidation…
Total Cost of Ownership is king…
- Bandwidth/Riverbed, Cloud vs infrastructure, MI, ERP..(sharpen the pencil and
get good business cases)
Management…
- Applications sprawl – homebrew vs ‘off the shelf’
- ‘Upgrade or Die’
- Business need/challenge
- Chasing the dollar not the barrel
- DO LESS BETTER
13. Answers ?
Global consolidation & collaboration
Change in business activity
Collaboration….
- Technology
- Supply Chain
- Peer companies
Give them the tools to manage the business
- Cost management, process reviews
Still spending a lot of money, its not going away, just need to rebaseline.
14. Conclusions…. The future?
Change can be our friend,
Do Less Better… ValueMax
Collaboration…
- offshore/suppliers/like minded companies
Get on the boat!

fast
• Opportunity is very big and
growing fast

93. Is the cloud a myth?
Conversation at a conference:
“I’ve been told it will take 6 months to migrate our data from system x to system
y, is that true?”
“That sounds reasonable, depending on how much data you have and how well
the two systems match”
“Why does it take so long, after all it’s all in the cloud”
94. Is the cloud a myth?
Reality is:
The cloud is a managed service
There are a myriad of providers
• Most do not interface/collaborate
• You will need other services:
– Single sign on/identity management
– Interfaces between on premise and cloud
– Interfaces between clouds
Its not a new concept – they used to be called Application Service
Providers (ASP)
95. The pitfalls of the Cloud
Service will only be as good as the service provider
Over six in ten (63%) respondents are not 100% clear on what constitutes a failure or violation of their cloud service
provider’s SLA
Almost a quarter (22%) of respondents say that their cloud service provider didn’t deliver what they thought their
organisation had signed up to
Over one in ten (14%) had their job roles threatened because of SLA failure/violation
More than three quarters (77%) expect the pay-out received after an SLA violation to offset damage done to their company.
However, of those who have received a penalty payment from a cloud service provider after an SLA violation almost half of
these (46%) felt the pay-out was not comparable with the level of violation
(source Vanson Bourne Business Panel)
96. The pitfalls of the Cloud
You are no longer in control of the data
The data is sitting on the providers infrastructure
It is unlikely you will have full system access
You are no longer in control of the functionality
Upgrades can become onerous
Cloud sprawl
Application lock in – inflexibility
Cost
97. Conclusions
Cloud is not a silver bullet
It has its place
It is a useful deployment method
But it will bring problems and issues
My strategy
Cloud first unless:
• You lose functionality
• It is overly complex
• It costs more

• Patch management to enhance the security of ICS/SCADA
116. European Union Agency for Network and Information Security www.enisa.europa.eu 125
Certification of skills in ICS/SCADA (2015)
• Ensure security skills of all personals
– From operational to top management
– Importance in case of a crisis
• The report evaluates the needs of the sector
– List existing certification schemes
– Recommendations for a harmonised
certification scheme
Certification is part of a global approach

123. Assumptions
•The majority of the audience are not dedicated
solely to information security
•Focus on costs
•IT is often seen as being responsible for security
•Information Security and IT Security are not
(quite) the same thing
125. It comes down to risk (and
reward?)
•Make Information Security a business risk
•Do that by making it something that is relevant
at the ‘C’ level
•Threat is real and it will happen. Is it ‘advanced’?
126. Cost of Breaches 2014
£600k -£1.15m is the average cost to a large
organisation of its worst security breach of the year
(up from £450 - £850k a year ago)*
£65k -£115k is the average cost to a small business of
its worst security breach of the year (up from £35 -
£65k a year ago)*
* Source - Department for Business, Innovation and Skills Information Security Breaches Survey 2014
127. Threat
•1 Billion records breached in 2014
•“Chinese have penetrated every major corporation
of consequence in the US and taken information”
•Saudi Aramco
•Attacks in Norway
•POC at Black Hat 2013 – Programmable Logic
Controller
•What we don’t know
128. JP Morgan Chase
•May have been a set of stolen or compromised
credentials
•Failure to use two factor authentication
•Used as step off to attack approximately 90 other
servers
•76 million household customers and 7 million
businesses
129. It comes down to risk…. (and
reward?)
•Make Information Security a business risk
•Do that by making it something that is relevant
at the ‘C’ level
•Threat is real and it will happen. Is it ‘advanced’?
•Not just about Confidentiality. Safety,
availability, reputation etc.
130. Air Traffic Control Systems -

•Controls 200,000 square miles of airspace
•5000 flights every 24hrs
•Ageing systems – and approximately 50 different

•Single line of code
•Challenge to upgrade
131. It comes down to risk…. (and
reward?)
• Make Information Security a business risk
• Do that by making it something that is relevant at the
‘C’ level
• Threat is real and it will happen. Is it ‘advanced’?
• Not just about Confidentiality. Safety, availability,
reputation etc.
• Consider as part of the wider Risk Management process
• Risk owner – not IT
• Risk assessment informs investment
• Red lines (are there any?)
• Rewards – collaboration, efficiency. Enabled by security.
132. Not (just) about IT
•Information Management
•Risk
•Vendors - ‘compliance in a box’
•Policy
•Culture, convenience, employee expectation
•Cross function collaboration
•Business focussed and driven – support efficiency
and collaboration
•Governance
133. Addressing the problem
•Management ownership
•Understand your environment and information
•The ‘basics’ will address much of the technical risk
•Focus on areas of risk or exception - legacy
•Monitor and report
•User education – make it not just about work
•Policy and Governance
•It will happen – have a plan (not just an IT plan)
