Is Your IR Ready for Cloud? Lessons From the Front Lines of Nation-State Attacks

Supply chains face known and unknown risks. IT organizations are especially susceptible to supply chain risk as it often uses many open source products in the acquisition and development of their software. We need a structured approach for cybersecurity supply chain risk management. A “software bill of materials” (SBOM) has emerged as a key building block in software security and software supply chain risk management. A SBOM is a nested inventory, a list of ingredients that make up software components. 

The Executive Order (EO) on Improving the Nation’s Cybersecurity released on May 12, 2021 acknowledges the increasing number of software security risks throughout the supply chain. This EO mandates that Federal departments and agencies (and their suppliers) understand the cybersecurity risks through the software and services that they acquire, deploy, use, and manage from their supply chain (which includes open source software components). Acquired software may need to contain known and unknown vulnerabilities as a result of the product architecture and development life cycle.

In this webinar learn about cybersecurity risk management and governance. 
- Identify and document the risks and known vulnerabilities.
- Build a supply-chain risk-management framework. 
- Know and manage critical components and suppliers. 
- Develop a supplier/vendor software bill of materials, of each binary component that is used in the software, firmware, or product.
- Build a remediation plan for any vulnerable open source materials.
- Institute a governance and monitoring process.

Cybersecurity supply chain governance

When you think about it, supply chain security surfaced as an important focus in the wake of several significant events that highlighted vulnerabilities in global supply chains. These events began with the 9/11 attacks in 2001 resulting in a heightened focus on national security - including the security of supply chains. Subsequently, we had high-profile product recalls and quality issues - such as contaminated foods and counterfeit drugs - again raising concerns about supply chain security. Additionally, we also had an increasing reliance on digital systems and technology in supply chains that were made more vulnerable due to cyber threats. 

These events in conjunction with the rapid growth of globalization and outsourcing of manufacturing and sourcing activities to different areas of the globe increased the complexity and extended the geographic reach of supply chains. Hence, supply chain security -- including cyber and physical -- surfaced and required important focus. 

Join Ernie Hayden (Founder & Principal, 443 Consulting) to gain a better perspective of the physical security issues involved with the current global supply chain and get insights on how to overcome them. Key challenges discussed in the session include:  
- Unauthorized access to the supply chain and materials. 
- Inadequate surveillance of physical security of supply chain operations; and,  
- Transportation security weaknesses arising from inadequate packaging, lack of tracking and tracing mechanisms, or insufficient verification of drivers and personnel involved in the transportation process.

The nuances of physical security and supply chain management

Supply chain managers are being asked to better manage supply chain risk and create more resilient supply chains while maintaining efficiency. Unfortunately, traditional approaches to risk management and resilience are insufficient to address this complex issue.  

Many companies lack the data, tools, and insights needed to manage risk and improve resilience effectively and efficiently. Fear not - there is a game-changing solution on the horizon: the intelligent use of digital technologies!  

In this session, Digital Supply Chain Advisor, Fabio Tiozzo shares his expert insights on the transformative power of digital technologies in supply chain risk management and resilience. Get an overview of the digital technology stack, including both mature and emerging technologies, and discover how to leverage them to revolutionize supply chain resilience and risk management.

Topics for discussion include:  
- What supply chain managers can do to better manage supply chain risk and improve resiliency, while maintaining supply chain efficiency. 
- Why embracing digital supply chain risk management and resilience is not only a necessity for survival, but an opportunity to create new value and gain a competitive advantage. 
- How to map out your digital adoption roadmap to ensure you are integrating the right technologies into your processes.

More companies are seeking out 100% availability as a key part of their disaster recovery plan. But delivering such a commitment is a huge feat. Companies would need a service that was able to “To resist and tolerate failure and recover mission critical communication elements within a business acceptable timescale by planning and design” as well as to manage whatever intentional human and natural risks likely to occur. Full availability would also need infrastructure resilience, in-place disaster recovery plans, and contingency capability as well as the establishment of an integrated and external incident command system. 

The question companies should ask themselves is “How easy would it be to achieve all of this in my organization and, if so, at what cost?’

Tune into this session presented by disaster recovery and cyber resilience expert Steve Yates as he brings to light “scary” technology moments companies must consider and how companies can tackle them if they put in place the right strategy based upon their specific requirements. Viewers are encouraged to share their thoughts on disaster recovery plans and their major concerns to gain the most from this session.

By the end of the session, you will be able to:
- Be aware of the challenges you may likely encounter. 
- Form an understanding of the core supporting elements.
- Be conversant with a joined-up thinking approach when delivering technology resilience.

Disaster recovery plans: What keeps you awake at night?

AI Systems are rapidly emerging in a broad range of industries and applications. Businesses find themselves compelled to accelerate and deploy these systems at “warp speed,” far more rapidly than previous new or emerging technologies. But AI introduces many new risks. In the rush to deploy and monetize AI, there has been little time to understand these risks, nor how to manage and mitigate them. Reports of failures, financial loss, litigation, and reputational damage appear in the news regularly. Even the most experienced and sophisticated AI players have been exposed to these risks.

This session will review the key risks of AI systems and their impacts. Many of these are new and unique. Additionally, unlike conventional systems, these associated risks extend into operational deployment and ongoing production use of AI systems. Industry thought leader Allan Cytryn will present examples and consequences along with insights and guidance on measuring, managing, and mitigating them. 

Attendees will develop a meaningful understanding of what AI is and isn’t, its risks, and how to effectively lead risk management efforts in their organizations. This session is foundational, and hence will also provide attendees a basis for further exploration of AI risks and risk management on their own.
