The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) is one of the leading frameworks for private and public sector cybersecurity maintenance and used by organizations of all sizes. The Framework helps to secure information systems and guide key decision points about risk management activities through the various levels of an organization from senior executives, to business and process level, and operations.

NIST has issued special publications focused on improving Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM) and Supply Chain Risk Management (SCRM), however this isn’t a light read. With 5 functions, 23 categories, and 108 subcategories, identifying the NIST CSF security controls applicable to cyber supply chain risk management is a daunting task. On this CPE webinar we will address the specific security controls for third-party information security management and explain how to align risk management processes against these requirements, including how to:

- Prioritize and assess third-parties using a cyber supply chain risk assessment process,
- Develop processes for continuously monitoring third-party security postures, and determining control effectiveness,
- Identify security gaps and conduct response action plans with suppliers and third-party providers,

- Perform a gap analysis to catch and close gaps as quickly as they open, across both your own systems or that of third-party vendors,
- Create a culture of cybersecurity with security awareness training to reduce the risk posed by your employees.

Think Like a Hacker: Tactics to Identify Gaps in Your IT Security Posture

The cyber threat landscape grows exponentially each year. Third-party cyber data breaches like the Kaseya data breach, a cyberattack that affected over 1,500 organizations, have prompted regulators to raise cybersecurity standards. In the United States, the Biden Administration aims to improve nationwide cybersecurity with an executive order. The 100-day plan aims to modernize federal infrastructure, improve supply chain security, establish a cybersecurity review board and more.

Gaining visibility into the security risks your supply chain or third-party vendors pose to your organization is a necessity among cybersecurity leaders. Next-generation cybersecurity practices will require organizations to align both internal and external cybersecurity risk processes to create a standardized process to facilitate effective third-party cyber risk mitigation. On this webinar as we explore the intersection of third-party risk management and cybersecurity best practices. We’ll review new strategies and outline the steps to mature your program, and you will learn how to:

∙ Map external third-party risk to internal cybersecurity controls,
∙ Evaluate control effectiveness internally and externally to track issues over time and stay ahead of future incidents,
∙ Prioritize third-party risk projects based on control gaps and domain inefficiencies,
∙ Build a cybersecurity program that protects against internal and external threats.

Aligning Cybersecurity Best Practices with Third-Party Risk

The state of cybersecurity feels volatile. Despite massive worldwide spending on risk management to the tune of $150 billion, cyber attacks keep happening. Ransomware attacks doubled in 2021, with average ransomware recovery costs doubling to $1.85 million and average downtime increasing to 22 days. Within the next few years, nearly half of companies worldwide will experience cyber attacks on their software supply chains. As companies scramble to respond to exploding cyber incidents and a massive threat landscape, they’re looking for cyber insurance coverage to protect themselves. 

But cyber insurers are responding to these industry challenges too. Many are rethinking their underwriting decisions altogether. The result? Stricter underwriting standards, tighter coverage expectations, increased premiums, and more denied applicants. As companies look to gain or expand their cyber coverage and negotiate premiums, they need to effectively demonstrate their risk profile to insurers. By improving their cybersecurity strategy and showcasing the effectiveness of their program, companies have a better chance to get the right cyber insurance coverage at an ideal premium. 

In this webinar, hear from experts in the field of cyber insurance, and learn about:

- A cyber insurer’s strategy to underwriting policies
- The top 10 concerns that cyber insurers have
- How to strengthen your security posture to influence coverage

Navigating the Impacts of Your Security Performance on Cyber Insurance

In an interconnected, ever- changing digital world, how well your data is secured across your supply chain is a matter of great importance. Failing to adequately screen vendor security risks can lead to data breaches, which can shut down operations, damage customer trust, and incur hefty regulatory penalties.

Security ratings can help you grade your security performance, as well as that of your third- party vendors, by analyzing how well information is protected from external threats and breaches. Attend this webinar to learn how to use security ratings in TPRM, including how to:

- Grade your security performance and understand risk across your supply chain, including your vendors and business partners,
- Add context to your inherent risk tiers and gain visibility into the health of your vendor ecosystem,
- Increase accuracy across vendor risk assessments and continuous monitoring processes,
Speed up response and remediation efforts with real- time alerts on cybersecurity findings.

How to Utilize Security Ratings in Third-Party Risk Management

In today’s interconnected world of rapid data exchange, GRC Controls impact each and every part of an organization’s cybersecurity posture. Yet, despite this, countless organizations still take a siloed, reactive approach to GRC, often playing a constant game of catch-up. Not only are these businesses likely to miss things, but their approach to cybersecurity is often poorly optimized and they’re spending far more than they need to, investing in outdated manual processes to deal with overlapping requirements.

On this webinar, we will discuss how to streamline GRC controls and optimize cybersecurity risk management processes, to enable leaders to determine what investments best reduce risk with the best return on investment (ROI). Attendees will learn how to:

- Simplify GRC and security operations by reducing the number of controls your organization has to deal with, therefore reducing its workload to test and audit the controls
- Develop a set of controls baselined to the internal and external requirements that your organization needs to meet
- Enable both security process automation and enterprise risk decision-making 
- Shrink your organization's cybersecurity attack surface

Streamlining GRC Controls to Optimize Cybersecurity

Data privacy is a key component in many strict regulatory mandates and a subject of increasing attention from the public at large.

Understanding the Modern Attack Surface: IoT and Supply Chain Risk

Ransomware is a type of malicious attack where attackers encrypt an organization’s data and demand payment to restore access. It disrupts or halts an organization’s operations and poses a dilemma for management: pay the ransom and hope that the attackers keep their word about restoring access and not disclosing data, or do not pay the ransom and restore operations themselves. The methods used to gain access to an organization’s information and systems are common to cyberattacks more broadly, but they are aimed at forcing a ransom to bepaid. 

Organizations must be able to quickly recover from a Ransomware attack and trust that any recovered data is accurate, complete, and free of malware. Fortunately, organizations can implement the NIST Cybersecurity Framework to prepare for and reduce the potential for successful ransomware attacks. Attend this webinar to learn how to go about this, including how to:

- Gauge your organization's level of readiness to mitigate ransomware threats 
- Identify security objectives from the NIST Cybersecurity Framework that support preventing, responding to, and recovering from ransomware events
- Understand how to manage data integrity risks and implement the appropriate safeguards to pretect critical data, systems, and devices from ransomware
- Prepare for and respond to any ransomware attacks that succeed

Preparing for Ransomware with the NIST Cybersecurity Framework

A huge percentage of data breaches start with privileged credential abuse. There are often many privileged accounts that today’s overburdened IT security teams lose track of them. Stop leaving privileged accounts available for attackers to compromise and insiders to misuse! Instead, discover and remove them to achieve zero standing privilege (ZSP).

Join this CPE webinar to discover how to:

· Find accounts with excessive privileges
· Dramatically reduce your attack surface area with just-in-time (JIT) privilege·
· Manage and track all privileged activity in one place
· Implement real-time attack detection and response
· Adopt additional controls detailed in the NIST cybersecurity framework

It has always been challenging for security leaders to communicate the value of cybersecurity investments to board. Giving transparency about the weakness of organizations can be pretty uncomfortable but, it is essential to increase the Cybersecurity level. As an IT Manager, CISO, or CSO, your understanding of risk and compliance is intimate and understood in infosec terminology. You must offer board executives a set of data to help them make informed decisions based upon the optimal management. 

However, the Board of Directors expect brevity, and examine business practices from a birds-eye perspective. Attend this webinar to learn how to improve your board’s cybersecurity posture by effectively communicating risks in business terms, including how to:

- Create trust with dialogue delivery and engage leadership with universal, non-security terms
- Show metrics to quantify challenges, & categorize in financial terms
- Use data to explain the problem, and share how that same data provides you with a way to solve it
- Help board executives move to an ‘internet everywhere’ approach

How to Effectively Communicate Cybersecurity Risks to the Board
