Green Hat - Watch This Space
Created by Aman Bhar, Regional Director, Asia-Pacific, ANZ, Africa , Mile2
So why "Green" hat? Well, the IA need of the hour is data protection through better risk management and business modeling. We've moved (as of January 2008) from an emphasis on in-depth & specific technology to an emphasis on holistic technology; from cursory risk management to all-encompassing & highly skilled risk management; from access controls to data leakage protection. The dawn of a new breed of IA warrior is on us; this is not in doubt. RSA 2008 Europe (March 2008) said as much, and many are confirming my observations.
1. GO, as in green light;
2. EXTRA - CONSCIOUSNESS, as in environmentally conscious, being aware of a connectivity between entities;
3. GREEN FIELDS, as in a new day, a new opportunity, a new way of thinking
4. MILE2 - it's our corporate colour.
"Green Hat" will borrow the best features of Black Hat, but will focus on bleeding-edge thinking in compliance management, risk management, business security architecture modeling (like SABSA), content management, data leakage protection, and user behavior modification models. It will attract the Information Risk Managers, the Information Security Managers, the CSOs and the CIOs, and the die-hard technicians who understand they must re-brand themselves if they are to thrive in the new IA economy.
