SUMMARY:Cyber Friday: Understanding the Cloud
DESCRIPTION:The term Cloud has almost become synonymous with the terms computer or internet. On one level\, all the term cloud means is storing data on someone else’s computer. When that is done\, their security capabilities and weaknesses also become yours. The real question is\, why should a company move to the cloud and\, if they do\, what type of cloud should be used? After all\, there are public clouds\, private clouds\, community clouds\, and hybrid clouds to be considered. In addition to these deployment models\, there are service models and various characteristics that should also be considered. Lastly\, and especially for DOD contractors\, understanding the provider’s security capabilities and whether the Cloud Provider’s security offerings satisfy customer security requirements is just one of many questions that need to be asked. This is of paramount importance. Additionally\, cloud users will need to determine what security measures will be provided by the cloud service and which measures will be the responsibility of the company and therefore will need to be configured\, monitored and managed by the company. This webinar will explore these essential elements of cloud computing as well as considerations that should be analyzed when exploring a move to the cloud. \n  \nSpeaker: Marc Violante\, Wisconsin Procurement Institute \n  \nThis webinar is eligible for 1 CPE credit. \nView a schedule of all upcoming Cyber Friday webinars. \n\n

SUMMARY:Cyber Friday: Cybersecurity Information - tools\, resources and keeping current
DESCRIPTION:The need for a dynamic Cybersecurity program has never been greater. Cyber threats continue to change and evolve to take advantage of unpatched systems\, outdated software\, lack of staff training\, and other weaknesses.  Adversaries are highly motivated to evolve and to succeed. As a result\, a static cyber program without active involvement and a mechanism for updates is destined to fail at some point – Then What? Without a doubt\, the imperative is to stay current\, keep abreast of the threats\, monitor network activity\, and have a process to validate and make needed changes expeditiously and fully. The looming question is\, How? This webinar will explore some tips\, tricks\, tools and resources that will help with this considerable challenge. \n  \nSpeaker: Marc Violante\, Wisconsin Procurement Institute \n  \nThis webinar is eligible for 1 CPE credit. \nView a schedule of all upcoming Cyber Friday webinars. \n\n

SUMMARY:Cyber Friday: Ransomware
DESCRIPTION:Discover the practical steps that can be used to combat Ransomware. Ransomware has become a major threat to all businesses not only from an operational perspective but also as the regulatory landscape continues to evolve with respect to payments and reporting of cybersecurity incidents. An unintended mouse click can wreak havoc. There is no outrunning it. In a blink\, it will devastate your network. Both computers and the network become effectively useless. This webinar will review NIST’s Tips and Tactics for protection against Ransomware as well as provide an update on current and pending regulations and legislation. \n  \nSpeaker: Marc Violante\, Wisconsin Procurement Institute \n  \nThis webinar is eligible for 1 CPE credit. \nView a schedule of all upcoming Cyber Friday webinars. \n\n

SUMMARY:Cyber Friday: Design and use of Exercises to test and strengthen your security plans and procedures
DESCRIPTION:Cybersecurity plans and processes will often have limitations and are not absolute in their ability to protect. If a cyber incident occurs\, are you ready? Do key players know their roles\, their authority and required actions? Are external resources such as your Managed Services provider\, IT consultant or legal counsel familiar with the company and all of the relevant processes\, policies\, staff\, and equipment? When the network ceases to function\, it is too late! You are behind the proverbial “eight ball” and likely in for a very difficult recovery. This webinar will explore the value of exercises in not only strengthening your cybersecurity plans but also in developing response capabilities to minimize the impact of a cyber incident and ease the efforts needed to return to normal operations. \n  \nSpeaker: Marc Violante\, Wisconsin Procurement Institute \n  \nThis webinar is eligible for 1 CPE credit. \nView a schedule of all upcoming Cyber Friday webinars. \n\n
