Join us for an immersive one-day virtual workshop designed for cybersecurity managers, security leaders, and operational defenders.
Business functions take the brunt of cyberattacks, but Cybersecurity Professionals own the problem. Although there are other functions that manage risk and recoverability from a wide variety of disruptions, the technical nature of preventing and detecting cyberattacks focuses organizational preparedness on technical specialists. At the same time, continuity of business operations requires attention to resilience as a part of cybersecurity, in readiness for the failure of preventing and detecting attacks.
This one-day course, combining lecture with a case study that runs through it, guides Cybersecurity Professionals in incorporating Business Continuity Management approaches into cybersecurity practice.
Learning Objectives:
By the end of this seminar, participants will learn:
- How Cybersecurity Professionals can maximize their impact in coordination with other functions
- The advantages and shortcomings of existing cyber resilience standards
- The ways that cybersecurity is forcing change on Business Continuity Management and vice-versa
- Assessment of business risks of different categories of cyberattacks
- How to adapt Business Impact Analysis techniques to Cyber Impact Analysis
- Adapting Resilience by Design into cyber resilience strategies
- Building and using a Cyber Resilience Life Cycle
- How to assess the effectiveness of cyber resilience strategies, before they are needed
