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

SUMMARY:Cyber Friday: Information Security - Security Beyond Cyber
DESCRIPTION:Today\, companies deal with emails\, prints\, models\, algorithms\, computer code\, and more. Employees meet\, discuss and converse about opportunities and projects. For companies in the defense space\, much of the information that they work with is sensitive or controlled unclassified information (CUI). No matter the medium\, this type of information needs to be safeguarded and protected from unauthorized disclosure\, inadvertent sharing\, or outright theft. Some companies state that they have full development systems which are “air tight.” Others\, who have been awarded a DOD contract have a rudimentary system in place. This webinar will provide a broad overview of information security\, DOD requirements\, references and resources to use. \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
