GSN 2015 DIGITAL YEARBOOK OF HOMELAND SECURITY AWARDS RECIPIENTS Most Notable Cybersecurity Program, Project or Initiative City of Los Angeles - Centralization of Cybersecurity Incident Data Analysis 2015 Winner Awards Category: –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Most Notable Cybersecurity Program, Project or Initiative Name of Nominated Product, Service, or Program: –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– City of Los Angeles Centralizes Cybersecurity Incident Data Analysis with Customized Solution Reason this entry deserves to win: –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– With more than 4 million residents, the City of Los Angeles is the second largest city in the Unites States. The City of LA’s Information Technology Agency (ITA) manages the IT systems and network traffic for more than 37 departments, including those that support the city’s financials, taxes and public internet for citizens. ITA is dedicated to using the most secure, cost effective, highly efficient and interoperable enterprise-wide technology to serve the City of LA. In recent years, the cybersecurity threat landscape has dramatically evolved, with an everincreasing number of advanced persistent threats and targeted breaches. State and city governments today are tasked with safeguarding citizen data and confidential information, making them a target for malicious threat actors. Until recently, if an inconsistency or potential security breach was found, the protocol in place required pulling security logs from each individual department, reviewing and analyzing the disparate reports and then correlating the data manually with multiple security tools. This was a time consuming process that not only left room for error, but did not allow ITA to proactively tackle enough of the cyber threats attempting to infiltrate the city’s networks. Led by Timothy Lee, the city’s chief information security officer (CISO), ITA sought to implement an advanced security information and event management (SIEM) solution, to help consolidate, maintain and analyze security data across the city’s multiple departments. Given the limited resources Lee and 116
his team faced—from staffing to budget—ITA deployed a unique, cloud-based SIEM solution to enhance cybersecurity capabilities. In addition, Lee led the city’s Cyber Intrusion Command Center (CICC), a city-wide cybersecurity working group that leads cybersecurity preparation and response to security incidents, implemented the city’s first Integrated Security Operations Center (ISOC). This ISOC collects and correlates log data and security events from different security appliances across the city’s departments into a single database and a useable dashboard and actionable threat intelligence to enable a high-level security posture city-wide. Instead of going to each of the 40 plus departments, Lee and his team can now monitor everything from clickstreams and transactions, to security events and network activity, and analyze all the correlated data from a centralized, customized dashboard, 24x7 anytime, anywhere; turning machine-generated data into valuable intelligence that, in turn, drives good decisions. The SIEM solution takes the City of LA to another level of cybersecurity intelligence. With the data in one place, the City of LA and its FBI counterpart, FBI Cyberhood Watch, can quickly and efficiently gather information about threats, and identify strategies to prevent future intrusions. The solution has undoubtedly enhanced the city’s ability to manage and protect the city’s critical infrastructure and digital assets serving Angelenos. Lee states, “I can confidently say we have avoided a number of security breach situations because we implemented these proactive tools. We have blocked intrusion attempts, have been able to swiftly correlate data and share threat information to the stakeholders, and have been able to expedite the time it takes to close these security incident tickets.” Link to Web Page of Nominated Organization: –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– http://ita.lacity.org/index.htm Name and organization of nominating contact for this entry, including name, title, organization: –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Caralyn Duke, Account Executive Qorvis MSLGROUP Nominating contact’s office telephone and cell phone: –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– office: (202) 683-3203 cell: (202) 658-9201 Nominating contact’s email address: –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– caralyn.duke@mslgroup.com Address of nominating contact’s organization: –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– 1201 Connecticut Ave, NW Suite 500 Washington, DC 20036 117
