Aumentar la resiliencia digital con la gestión de riesgos cibernéticos

As organisations realise that being exposed to cyber risk is an inevitable part of doing business today, security leaders are being pressed to effectively plan and manage cyber security programs. The process often includes executing policies and procedures defined by the Governance team to implement controls, prioritise remediation, and respond to incidents. However, the organisational hierarchy can be rather complex, leading to numerous challenges in driving accountability across the business.

Organisations are looking into setting a uniform standard for their cyber security programs that can sit across the entire structure. Still, they first need to determine what standard is appropriate and find a way to measure performance against it consistently. With Cyber Risk Governance, they can define the guidelines for how the organisation manages cybersecurity - but the rather complex organisational hierarchy in some extended businesses can lead to numerous challenges for driving accountability across the company.

Join us in this webinar to know more about driving accountability with Cyber Risk Governance in more detail, as we target topics such as:
- The different options for setting standards, and ideas for implementation
- How Cyber Risk Quantification can be applied to drive accountability
- How to incorporate benchmarking and peer comparisons into your standards

Extender la Responsabilidad mejorando la Gobernabilidad del Riesgo Cibernético

Protecting the attack surface has become more complex as companies expand their digital footprint. From adopting cloud services to using remote/home networks and personal devices, a growing number of technology trends are contributing to the exponential growth of organisations’ attack surfaces.

Businesses worldwide increasingly need to understand and manage cyber risk in their expanding digital ecosystem accordingly - also to avoid being in the headlines after suffering breaches that expose sensitive customer information and corporate data. 

To defend against increasingly potent cybersecurity threats, including ransomware and social engineering, security teams must have a firm grasp of their attack surface, the largest threats, and how they can be mitigated. This can be achieved with a specific set of tasks that further strengthen the performance of the security management program.

Join this BitSight Expert Session if you are looking for thoughts or struggling in areas such as:
- Gaining visibility into such issues as finding digital assets and areas of disproportionate risk and discovering Shadow IT or hidden risks;
- Getting insights into critical best practices when protecting and managing an attack surface;
- Understanding process and governance gaps;
- Improving assurance that the controls in place are working as expected;
- Managing risks and issues across the exposed attack surface.

Gaining effective visibility into your expanding attack surface

As organisations understand the importance of investing in cyber resilience, security leaders face the challenge of better understanding their current security posture in order to build a program matching the corresponding risk tolerance.

While determining priorities and executing the mission each and every day are considerable drivers to reducing risk exposure, they still need to find a way to communicate progress to all stakeholders to drive the much-needed accountability, effectiveness, and confidence in the cybersecurity program.

This can be achieved with a metrics-driven approach at scale. By adopting constant vigilance and continuously monitoring their cybersecurity performance, they can ensure organisational targets are being accomplished. 

Join this BitSight Expert Session if you are looking for thoughts or struggling in areas such as: 
- What meaningful metrics are being used, and how effective are they?;
- How those metrics drive decisions in security programs, close gaps, and drive effectiveness and resilience;
- Leveraging context to communicate with stakeholders outside the security teams.

Building metrics in your cybersecurity program and scaling cyber resilience

Ransomware is rapidly becoming the most common form of cyberattack. Incidents have doubled year-over-year with headline-grabbing consequences. In line with this data, recent BitSight search shows that 64% of European organizations are at heightened risk of ransomware due to their overall security performance.

Organizations in sectors such as energy and utilities, healthcare, government agencies and education are a leading target, but they are not alone. Manufacturing companies, financial services, retailers, and others are also vulnerable to the mounting ransomware threat. Supply chains are an emerging trend as a vehicle for ransomware. And the price to pay is always high, as it often comes at the cost of millions and negative reputation.

Security managers need actionable data to help protect their networks. They also need to understand how the EU regulatory landscape is changing in the near future with stricter legislation that will help bring confidence in today’s digital, connected world.

Ransomware is an Epidemic - All the questions you may have

BitSight is hosting a monthly webinar series exclusively dedicated to you: During 30 minutes, our experts will answer all the essential questions on various topics about effectively running a cybersecurity program.

SPM for Cyber Risk Governance - Driving Performance for Increased Accountability

Announced as part of the new digital finance strategy, the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA), initiated by the European Union (EU), is harmonizing Information and Communications Technology (ICT) risk requirements across Europe, including the UK. 

DORA is a direct consequence of the several inconsistent, national, non-harmonized regulatory initiatives conducted over recent years, as Information and Communications Technology (ICT) risk has been addressed in different ways by various financial supervisors within the European Union (EU).
DORA is still being analyzed and discussed by the European Parliament and Council and should be ready to go into action early 2022 - pushed back from the end of 2021 date initially planned. However, progress shows that the Council adopted a general approach on the Commission's proposal. Negotiations with the European Parliament will follow.

On this webinar we will have the change to answer all the questions you may have.

Is your organization ready for DORA? Here's what you need to know

A medida que las organizaciones crecen su presencia en el ciberespacio, notan que el riesgo cibernético incrementa y esto es una parte inevitable de hacer negocios hoy en día, los líderes de seguridad están siendo presionados para planificar y gestionar eficazmente los programas de seguridad cibernética en sus sistemas informáticos. El proceso a menudo incluye la ejecución de políticas y procedimientos definidos por el equipo responsable de gobernar infraestructura y sistemas para implementar controles, priorizar la remediación y responder a los incidentes. Sin embargo, la jerarquía organizacional puede ser bastante compleja, lo que conlleva numerosos retos a la hora de expander la responsabilidad en toda la empresa.
Acompáñenos en este seminario web para saber más sobre cómo extender la responsabilidad con la Gobernabilidad del Riesgo Cibernético con más detalle, ya que abordamos estos y otros temas:
- Las diferentes opciones para establecer normas, e ideas para su implementación
- Cómo se puede aplicar la cuantificación del riesgo cibernético para extender la responsabilidad a lo largo de la organización
- Cómo incorporar la evaluación comparativa y las comparaciones entre empresas en el sector en sus normatividad y manejo de la ciberseguridad

BitSight is hosting a monthly webinar series exclusively dedicated to you: During 30 minutes, our experts will answer all the essential questions on various topics about effectively running a cybersecurity program.

Considering the series of attacks that started since mid-last year – some even said that 2021 was the year of ransomware –, there is no longer much room for doubt: Managing third-party risk is now an essential part of the overall cybersecurity strategy for any modern organization.

64% of the European Organizations are at heightened risk of ransomware attacks, according to BitSight’s daily analysis of over 250 billion data points. Third-party vendors are often the weakest link in any organization’s security ecosystem since most security leaders do not have good visibility or oversight of their security controls. These breaches, along with the requirements for DORA compliance, mean that European security leaders must take steps to implement robust third-party risk management programs. 

Getting a TPRM program up and running can be quite challenging. There are essential steps to take to make your program successful – and we know that many questions will come up along the way, starting right with the vendor validation process.

TPRM - High Performance Across the Vendor Lifecycle: Focus on Vendor Validation

Driving Accountability across the Organisation with Cyber Risk Governance

Digital risk is a growing issue for all organisations. But especially for Universities, it is particularly demanding because of the heavy activity online they have to deal with coming from a massive diversity of network assets. The huge challenge is how these organisations can offer continuous service while protecting data, privacy, and intellectual property?

As organisations are increasingly looking into setting a uniform standard for their cyber security programs that can sit across the entire structure, they first need to determine what standard is appropriate - and find a way to measure performance against it consistently. In this webinar, you will meet two forward-thinking security leaders that have opted to enforce cybersecurity performance standards across their organisations and how they tackle crucial questions such as: What standard should be used? How to manage this standard efficiently?

Join us in this webinar to know more about driving accountability with cyber risk governance in more detail, as we target topics such as:
- What challenges are Universities currently facing the most?
- What is the key to helping such complex and open environments provide continuous service, availability and access to public Internet while keeping sensitive data private?
- How does BitSight help as a SaaS intelligence vendor?
