More from Sam’s Skunk Worx. The following diagram is a method of discussing the cause and effect relationship of how elements build to a information security breach. I used the Sony Data Breach (sorry Sony) utilizing only open source information and media accounts as I found. You move from left to write looking at the causal primary categorical events with the secondary and tertiary effects branch from them. You end up on the right of the diagram with a spider web or radar graph depicting the percentages of confidentiality, integrity, and availability that have been impacted. Someday I may actually get paid to do this kind of thinking.
