The first step in protecting your information is knowing what information to protect.  If you under protect your sensitive data, your organization is at risk of a data breach.  If you over protect your data, your organization will be overspending on protections that don’t reduce risk.  So how do you properly classify your data to find the right balance?

This FREE 60-minute workshop with Alex from Hive Systems and our guest this month, Brian Desmond from Ravenswood Technology Group, will walk you through this process and answer questions like:
How do you implement a data classification strategy?
How does data classification impact data protection?
What tools are available from Microsoft to scan and find data in Azure?
How can Microsoft Information Protection and DLP help with automating data classification and labelling?

This workshop draws on decades of experience protecting organizations and couples it with deep Microsoft expertise, while breaking it down in an approachable and actionable way. Join us to learn more and reduce your risk of under protecting or over protecting your organization’s information!

Automating Data Classification and Protection with Microsoft 365

Quantifying cybersecurity risk is the first step to optimizing your organization’s cybersecurity budget. Quantitative risk is increasingly becoming the regulatory standard and an expectation from investors for communicating risk. Penetration testing, frameworks, and ordinal scoring aren’t the right tools for the job - so what is? 

In this 45-minute workshop, Corey Neskey will provide an introduction to Bayesian networks in plain English, without the math, and in an approachable way for IT, cybersecurity, and risk professionals. Corey will also show where Bayesian networks fit into traditional risk assessment methodologies and frameworks. We’ll also help answer:
-What are Bayesian networks?
-Why are Bayesian networks promising for cybersecurity risk management?
-How can Bayesian networks replace what we’re doing now for cybersecurity risk assessment?
-How do Bayesian networks compare to Monte Carlo simulation for quantifying risk?

Corey will draw on years of experience with applying scientific insights in risk quantification and expert knowledge elicitation. Join us to gain a better understanding of how you can improve your risk assessment methodology with the latest that scientists have to offer.

Cybersecurity Risk Assessment with Bayesian Networks

The shell game, Ponzi schemes, and rain making are all classic examples of one thing: a con. In the digital era, these scams have been expanded through the power of the internet to become phishing, vishing, smishing, and impersonating - and you could be the next target. Even worse, on the right day, with the right lure, anyone can be a victim of social engineering. So what can you do?

This 45-minute workshop with Alex from our team will break down the world of social engineering and help you understand:
-What are the main types of social engineering?
-How do hackers and scammers choose their victims?
-How do I recognize and interrupt social engineering?
-What are the main motivators hackers and scammers use to trick me?

This workshop draws on decades of experience protecting organizations, ourselves, and our families, and breaks it down in an approachable and actionable way. Join us to learn more and reduce the risk of you, your family, or your company becoming the next victim of social engineering!

Social Engineering: Recognizing and Stopping It

Cybersecurity risk assessment involves compiling lists of risks and associating them with their probabilities and potential impacts to your organization. When data on risks is sparse or unreliable, organizations turn to subject matter experts for their subjective estimates of probabilities and impacts. Scientific research documents several shortcomings of subjective estimates, but also highlights the conditions and practices that minimize biases on decision-making that can make such estimates useful in assessing risk.  

This workshop will be the first in a series of conversations with Corey Neskey about using scientific insights in cybersecurity risk assessment. In this talk, Corey will walk you through what the research says about expert estimates and how we can use that knowledge to improve cybersecurity decision-making. We’ll also dive into:

-What scientific research do cybersecurity frameworks and regulatory standards use?
-What does the research say about risk assessment?
-How can we realistically apply what science found in an organizational setting?
-We’re definitely spending money on cybersecurity, but we’re probably not going to have a big data breach, so how much is reasonable to spend? 

This series draws on decades of scientific research literature from peer-reviewed, high-impact journals, and breaks its insights down in an approachable and actionable way. Join us to learn more and gain a better understanding of how you can improve your risk assessment methodology with the latest that scientists have to offer.

Risk Assessment on the Shoulders of Scientists

Ransomware is everywhere right now, and impacting everything from gas prices, to meat at your grocery store, to the wedding photos on your computer.  Everyone can be a victim, but some more than others. So why are hackers turning to ransoms, and is it all about the money?

This 45-minute workshop with Alex and Andrew from our team will walk you through the motivations for hackers and help you understand:
-Why is ransomware popular?
-How do hackers choose their victims?
-What makes one person or company more of a target than others?
-What can I do to prevent being a victim of ransomware?

This workshop draws on decades of experience protecting organizations, and breaks it down in an approachable and actionable way. Join us to learn more and reduce your risk of becoming the next victim of ransomware!

Ransomware: Hackers' Motivation

Cryptocurrency is in the news - Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Dogecoin to name a few - and maybe you’re thinking about investing in it.  But do you know about the tech that powers cryptocurrencies?  Blockchain is the future for a lot of industries, but how does it work, and what impacts will it have on cybersecurity?

This 45-minute workshop led by Andrew Bradley, a leading blockchain expert and cybersecurity specialist, will walk you through the technology that will power the future and help you understand:

     -What is blockchain technology? And what are smart contracts?

We all know technology is changing more rapidly than ever before. Services are being automated, businesses are migrating to the cloud, and company data is becoming the prime target of cybercriminals. What does all this mean for cloud service providers (CSPs)? 

Join Alex Nette, Hive Systems President and CEO, and Brad Thies, BARR Advisory founder and president, for a discussion on what cloud service providers can expect for the future of security in the cloud. Nette and Thies will share their take on emerging trends, threats, and what CSPs can do to protect their companies from cyber attacks, along with a look back at what urged them to launch their respective cybersecurity companies.

Round Table: Cybersecurity Trends Shaping the Future for Cloud Service Providers

You spend significant time, money, and effort planning to ensure your company is prepared for hackers and scammers. But the biggest threat these days can come from inside your office - whether malicious or not.  The world of web applications has us more connected than ever, but they could be letting your company's "honey" walk right out the door.

This 30 minute live discussion with Alex Nette, President and CEO of Hive Systems, one of the leading cybersecurity experts for small and medium businesses, and Chris Cruz, a premier insider threat program expert, will take you through a critical understanding of what makes up insider threats, how to identify and triage them, and help you examine the ways to reduce your company's risk today.

Workshop: Don’t lose your honey to insider threat

Have you ever found out that your email was being used to send spam - and when you check your “sent” folder, you don’t see any suspicious emails? Or have you ever had your legitimate emails end up in someone’s spam folder; including your marketing emails sent through third parties like Constant Contact, Mailchimp, Amazon SES, Salesforce, or SendGrid? This could be due to a simple misconfiguration that could cost you millions in lost revenue or impact your reputation. To boost your email security, we’re starting a three part series to help you address these problems through the proper setup of your SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records.

This 30 minute live webinar with Alex Nette, one of the leading cybersecurity experts for small and medium businesses, will take you through a critical understanding of the email security process and examination of the ways to reduce your risk, and maintain brand integrity.

Workshop: Increasing Your Email Security with DKIM, SPF, and DMARC

Third party and supply chain risk have been in the news a lot recently, but how can the companies you work with impact your business? You’re likely sharing information or outsourcing work to other companies right now - in the digital age this is all too easy.  By not tracking these companies and validating their cybersecurity standards, you may be headed towards a major financial impact on your company’s hard earned reputation.

This 45 minute live round table with Priscilla Bowles and Lydia Buffo, third party risk management experts who have worked in the Fortune 200, and moderated by Alex Nette, one of the leading cybersecurity experts for small and medium businesses, will take you through a critical examination of the ways to reduce your risk, including:

-How do you evaluate risk for the companies you work with?
-Do you have an obligation to help them improve?
-What do you do in the event of a cybersecurity incident at a third-party you work with?
-Is any company too small to manage and evaluate third party risk?

This discussion draws on decades of experience to help your company launch and maintain a scalable and successful third party risk management strategy.  Don’t let your company start the new year on the back foot and get ahead of one of the largest cybersecurity threats!

Round Table: Third-Party Threats and Supply Chain Sorrows

Cybersecurity is about how we protect our information, but do we ever stop to ask ourselves what we’re protecting and why? Your company likely collects customer, employee and proprietary information, so the responsibility to protect the data  and respond in the event of a cybercrime is yours. This isn’t a big company problem.

Data privacy issues and data breaches happen to small and mid-sized businesses all the time and can put your company’s reputation and ability to do business at risk.

This 30-minute live discussion led by Alex Nette, one of the leading cybersecurity experts for small-medium businesses, takes you through a critical examination of your business practices with respect to data privacy and brand protection. 
- Do you really need to be collecting all this information?
- Do you understand your risk points?
- Are you in compliance with privacy laws (GDPR, CCPA) and cybersecurity best practices?
- What if something goes wrong?

Alex wants every business to benefit from the same strategy and tactics that large enterprises employ. In this webinar, he draws on years of experience in protecting critical data to share a perspective on how to look at your data practices and where to start.
