Security Management is like playing a game of chess!

Here's how Security Management, Threat Intelligence, Threat Hunting and Incident Response can be compared to playing a game of chess.It can actually be explained in each of these five stages of the Secure Cloud Adoption Framework from Onevinn:

Stage one: Assess:

Assessing your security posture is like the opening moves in a game of chess. You need to analyze the situation, gather information, and identify potential vulnerabilities and threats. Security management and threat intelligence can help you identify potential threats and vulnerabilities that you may not have been aware of, while incident response planning can help you prepare for and respond to security incidents.

Stage two: Strategy:

Designing your security architecture is like planning your mid-game strategy in a game of chess. You need to determine the best course of action based on the information you gathered in the Assess stage. Building a Security Management strategy can highlight gaps and help you take informed decisions about which security controls to put into place. And with further incident response planning it can help you design a system that is resilient in the face of potential threats.

Stage three: Secure:

Implementing streamlined and unified security controls is like executing your mid-game strategy in a game of chess. You need to put your plans into action and make sure that your security measures are effective. Security Management can help you identify new threats as they emerge, while active threat hunting can help you test, verify and refine your security controls to ensure that they are effective.

Stage four: Governance:

Migrating to the cloud is like entering the endgame in a game of chess. You need to make sure that your security measures are in place and that your organization is prepared to respond to any security incidents that may occur. Hunting for threat actors can help you identify any threats that may have slipped through your defenses during the migration process, while incident response planning can help you respond quickly and effectively to any incidents that do occur.

Stage five: Manage:

Managing your security posture is like playing an ongoing game of chess. You need to continually monitor the situation, adjust your strategy as needed, and stay one step ahead of potential threats. Managed detection can help you stay informed about new threats and vulnerabilities, while incident response can help you refine your response procedures to ensure that you are always prepared to respond to any security incidents that may occur. Continuous hunting for threats will help you identify and neutralize threats before they have a chance to cause damage.
