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 Cyber threats continue to change and evolve to take advantage of unpatched systems\, outdated software\, lack of staff training\, and other weaknesses.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: 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: Understanding Zero Trust
DESCRIPTION:Who is logged into your network or using a company resource? You can tell which User IDs and Passwords are being used but who – which person – is using them? Is it the assigned user\, a colleague who borrowed the credentials\, a team member of a shared account\, or did someone obtain the credentials illicitly. There is only one correct answer – “the assigned user.” This webinar will explore the ideas behind a Zero Trust Security paradigm and how these principles can assist companies to better protect their assets by not just providing access to information based upon the entry of a User ID and password\, but by instituting a paradigm that requires validation to ensure that only the authorized user of those credentials is using them. \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
