“Towards A Modern Approach to Risk Management”

Information Risk Management, we’re doing it wrong. Data Science and Big Data stores can help, but in order to take advantage of actual data and evidence we’ll need to correct some fundamentally wrong things we now think of as “best practices.” In this presentation we will discuss our silly approaches to information risk, how data sciences can assist us, and what a modern or evidence-based risk management practice can do for security teams.

 

Speaker:  Chris Bream, Director at MANDIANT

“Did I Block That? – Five (or so) Things Organizations Botch During a Compromise.

Everybody gets compromised. It can be a big compromise or a small one but regardless, someone will make their way into your network at some point. Where most organizations are painfully at fault is in their response to these compromises. Chris will focus on the common mistakes that organizations make when responding to security incidents and steps you can take to help improve your capabilities.

IANS Webinar “Never Fight a Land War in Cyberspace” by Marcus Ranum

ISSA members are welcome to join in a IANS Webinar entitled “Never Fight a Land War in Cyberspace,” on Wednesday, Apr. 24, 2-3 PM EDT. with Marcus Ranum, IANS Faculty.

Military analogies and metaphors are plentiful when discussing cybersecurity. In fact, the speaker’s own first cybersecurity paper was larded with out-of-context quotes from Sun Tzu. Now that the “cyberwar” phenomenon is in full swing, we’re constantly hearing things like “active defense” and “the best defense is a strong offense.” But what do they even mean in cyberspace? In this presentation, Marcus Ranum will compare some real-world military theories with their cyberspace equivalents so that attendees can see how confused this topic has become.
