SUMMARY:Cyber Friday: Developing and Implementing Essential Security Policies\, Practices\, and Procedures
DESCRIPTION:The Cyber Friday series will continue with the topic\, “Developing and Implementing Essential Security Policies\, Practices\, and Procedures” on Friday\, November 4\, at 11:00 AM. To register\, please click here. \nCybersecurity does not exist solely by virtue of regulations\, contractual requirement\, or because someone says that it is required. Cybersecurity requires a positive corporate environment\, support\, and effort to achieve the proper blend of knowledge\, actions and both software and hardware. By themselves\, these elements will provide a degree of cybersecurity. However\, to achieve the level of cybersecurity required by DoD\, companies must take time to develop and implement policies\, practices\, and procedures. This webinar will discuss the types of documentation that companies should develop during their planning\, implementation\, and operational phases of creating their cybersecurity programs. \nSpeaker: Marc Violante\, Wisconsin Procurement Institute \nFor the full schedule of the Cyber Friday webinars\, please click here. \nThis webinar is eligible for 1 CPE credit. \n

SUMMARY:Cyber Friday: Designing and Using Security Exercises to Test and Improve Security Programs
DESCRIPTION:The fall Cyber Friday series will conclude with the topic\, “Designing and Using Security Exercises to Test and Improve Security Programs” on Friday\, December 2 at 11:00 AM. To register\, please click here. \nCybersecurity plans are developed with the best of intentions\, the utmost care\, and are stored “on the shelf” ready to go. Are they functional and have they been developed in a manner to deal with typical cyber incidents and attacks? Planning and hoping for the best is one strategy – but not a very effective one. There are a variety of other strategies that will support a stronger program such as penetration testing\, external phishing campaigns (ransomware and other)\, and even physical disruption to the network to trigger the incident response plan. These options\, though\, require contracting with specialized firms to perform a limited scope of work. Due to cost and scheduling limitations\, they are often not practical. \nAlternatively\, a company can utilize internally developed and managed exercises to test their cyber incident response capabilities for any number of incidents. Exercises provide two important pieces of feedback. First\, an exercise will provide valuable information on how well the company’s Incident Response plan functions and secondly\, the exercise will test the staff’s knowledge of the plan and their duties within the plan. \nThis webinar will discuss the basic design of an exercise\, available resources and related considerations. \n\nSpeaker: Marc Violante\, Director\, Federal Market Strategies\, Wisconsin Procurement Institute \nFor the full schedule of the Cyber Friday webinars\, please click here. \nThis webinar is eligible for 1 CPE credit. \n  \n\n
