smarter. Network perimeters aren’t dead. Rather, they’ve gone everywhere. We now need internal<br />
perimeters around all the uncontrollable endpoints in our networks.<br />
Resilience is also key, because perfect protection and containment are not possible. Experienced<br />
organizations balance their efforts between protection and recovery, recognizing that incidents are<br />
inevitable, but serious damage is not. Resilience means understanding your infrastructure ahead of an<br />
attack, thinking through how an incident could spread, and building response and containment plans, just<br />
the way first responders anticipate and practice for the inevitable bad days.<br />
IoT presents novel challenges for today’s CISO. The three-step strategy recommended here starts by<br />
understanding the categories of IoT devices that you use (whether you planned to or not).<br />
Next, realize that standard techniques we use to control general-purpose computers don’t work, and so<br />
we have to rely on segmentation. Third, we cannot expect to stop all incidents, so having a well thought<br />
out containment plan, based on real knowledge of your environment, is essential to damage control. This<br />
is how CISOs can deal with the IoT headache and deliver resilience in this complex new world.<br />
