Who Should Attend?

Risk Management professionals, IT advisory or audit professionals, Business executives, Cybersecurity professionals, students or professionals interested in learning more about risk management and governance in the public, private or not-for-profit sector communities.

TOPICS

Key Practices in Cyber Supply Chain Risk Management: Observations from Industry (NISTIR 8276)
Presented by Mr. Jon Boyens, National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)
In today’s highly connected, interdependent world, all organizations rely on others for critical products and services. However, the reality of globalization, while providing many benefits, has resulted in a world where organizations no longer fully control—and often do not have full visibility into—the supply ecosystems of the products that they make or the services that they deliver. With more and more businesses becoming digital, producing digital products and services, and moving their workloads to the cloud, the impact of a cybersecurity event today is greater than ever before and could include personal data loss, significant financial losses, compromise of product integrity or safety, and even loss of life. Organizations can no longer protect themselves by simply securing their own infrastructures since their electronic perimeter is no longer meaningful; threat actors intentionally target the suppliers of more cyber-mature organizations to take advantage of the weakest link. That is why identifying, assessing, and mitigating cyber supply chain risks is a critical capability to ensure business resilience. The multidisciplinary approach to managing these types of risks is called Cyber Supply Chain Risk Management (C-SCRM).   In this sessions, Mr. Jon Boyens will discuss the key practices in Cyber Supply Chain Risk Management as identified in NIST Internal/Interagency Report (IR) 8276.

NIST Privacy Framework: A Tool for Improving Privacy Through Enterprise Risk Management
Presented by Ms. Nakita Grayson, National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)
For more than two decades, the Internet and associated information technologies have driven unprecedented innovation, economic value, and improvement in social services. Many of these benefits are fueled by data about individuals that flow through a complex ecosystem. As a result, individuals may not be able to understand the potential consequences for their privacy as they interact with systems, products, and services. At the same time, organizations may not realize the full extent of these consequences for individuals, for society, or for their enterprises, which can affect their brands, their bottom lines, and their future prospects for growth.
Following a transparent, consensus-based process including both private and public stakeholders to produce this voluntary tool, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is publishing this Privacy Framework: A Tool for Improving Privacy through Enterprise Risk Management (Privacy Framework), to enable better privacy engineering practices that support privacy by design concepts and help organizations protect individuals’ privacy. In this session, Ms. Nakita Grayson will expound on the Privacy Framework.
