Value of CyberSecurity Summary: One of the most difficult challenges information security professionals face is helping boards and executives recognize the value of investing in cybersecurity. This presentation will introduce a framework for facilitating meaningful conversations with non-technical leaders by align cybersecurity initiatives and investments to business objectives. We’ll also help you analyze your organization’s cybersecurity maturity by walking through a self-assessment of key entity-level activities related to cybersecurity. From this session, you’ll better understand where your organization stands in establishing a culture of security and how to effectively involve leadership in protecting your systems and data.

Preparing to Bleed Purple Summary: Security assessments, specifically penetration tests, can be an expensive endeavor. Thus many organizations are moving towards investments in tabletop and purple team exercises that provide a valuable training component to their staff. With these types of assessments, clients not only have more interaction with the testing team, but can begin to learn how to simulate these activities internally, thus lowering the cost of additional assessments and improving the skillsets of internal staff. This talk will identify the key aspects of running a purple team simulation in a tabletop style engagement and how using a framework like MITRE ATT&CK can aid in these assessments.
