  PANEL DISCUSSION Reasonable Cybersecurity: Emerging New Developments
  Moderated by Curtis Duke, CIS
  

  Cyber system users fundamentally face risks that vary among different ICT sectors, constantly evolve, and require reasonable allocations of resources and actions.  As cybersecurity incidents and related losses continue to increase, multiple private and public sector activities and actions have emerged as different understandings of what is “reasonable.”  In legal terms "reasonable cybersecurity” is the duty of care that an organization owes its customers. However, what is “reasonable” remains largely undefined and no global compilation exists of its use for cybersecurity purposes. 
  This  panel session is intended both to inform the Security Week audience and serve as a means for ongoing collaboration on the diverse manifestations of reasonable cybersecurity. It includes new related activities in the EU and CEPT countries, as well as different disciplines and perspectives.  It builds on work undertaken over the past year among the Critical Security Controls community and being carried forward with a new TC CYBER work item.

Alex Cadzow, Cadzow Communications Consulting - - Member of the Programme Committee
Alex's aim is to take an active role, through research and education, to bridge the gap between technology and the human user. This has been built up through a background in Anthropology and Forensic science and latterly into the human aspects of cybersecurity. His role in Cadzow Communications Consulting (C3L) as researcher and co-developer of contributions to the company’s work in standards and other projects. While his background may seem an unlikely fit to cybersecurity which is often technology focused in systems engineering approach it is vital to equally address and integrate these three key elements: hardware, software and human systems integration. Therefore, the human element is something that integration and systems engineering processes must address. The definition of “system” used by NASA is inclusive; i.e., a system is “the combination of elements that function together to produce the capability required to meet a need. The elements include all hardware, software, equipment, facilities, personnel, processes and procedures needed for this purpose.
