Security by design revisited 2nd workshop 

The Information Assurance Advisory Council (IAAC) mission is to advance Information Assurance (IA) to ensure that the UK’s Information Society has a robust, resilient and secure foundation. Further, IAAC intends that users of digital products and services should be confident these are safe and secure for them, their families and their businesses.IAAC is a unique partnership that brings together corporate leaders, public policy makers, law enforcement and the research community to address the challenges of managing risks to information. Managing these risks involves both technology and human activities.IAAC is engaged in the development of policy recommendations to government and corporate leaders at the highest levels. Our recommendations are influential because IAAC's Sponsors and Members comprise leading commercial end-users, government policy makers and distinguished academics.IAAC's aim is to work for the creation and maintenance of a safe and secure Information Society. This is achieved by our being a not for profit body with high level support from government, the private sector and academia.We have established a reputation for being a neutral honest broker of ideas focussed on emerging information assurance issues that are not yet being considered by other parties.

The 2nd workshop in a series of three. 
Security by design revisited 
Reflection on Workshop 1 and preparation for Workshop 2 on 12 October 2017
Workshop 1 was held on 4th July and was followed by a number of separate individual discussions.   These confirmed that there is plenty of advice from numerous sources on how security might be built into product and services, though there is a deficit when thinking about systems of systems.  It was decided to proceed with examining the barriers and enablers of adoption of best practice, as the focus for this research.  Three key points emerged from the discussion:
Firstly, there is a cultural issue that needs to be examined.  This should think about people’s expectations and behaviours around the procurement, purchasing, design, development and whole life management of software and systems.
Secondly, one group came up with the notion of ‘Build well, Operate well’, that might have traction with a wider community than just the specialist security professional.  This seemed to resonate in the workshop as a simple statement that captured the essence of an end-state of ethical good practice, producing better systems and services.
Thirdly, there was the concept of ‘paying for the confidence that we can trust technology’.  This pointed to the broad economic arguments that shape the two points above. 
It is proposed that more time is spent examining the relationships between culture, economics and other factors, in trying to aim to build well and operate well. To do this, the third workshop will be facilitated by Lorraine Dodd from Cranfield university and use elements of soft systems methodology.  By building up a picture of these relationships, it is anticipated that a more targeted set of interventions might be envisaged that aim to address the adoption problem.  Furthermore, it is proposed that future workshops should include people who are not security specialists, so that the relationships involved can be discussed from multiple perspectives.
Dates for the final London workshops is 1000-1300,  5 Dec 2017
