Effective cyber security risk management is more than a technology solution. A company, led by its CEO, must integrate cyber risk management into day-to-day operations.
Today, any business finds itself in an interconnected global network, one that is focused on ease of use and efficiency as opposed to being resilient and resistant to cyber threats.
It is imperative for business management to understand the components of a good cybersecurity program as it affects their business and create an informed risk posture – understand what risk can be mitigated, accepted or transferred.
About the North East Annual Cybersecurity Summit: This is the first collaborative event cooperatively developed with a business and security focus. It is organized, and sponsored by a coalition of local chapters from renowned international associations for audit and security professionals. The coalition comprises:
Ø International Information System Security Certification Consortium, Inc. (ISC)2 – Connecticut Chapter
Ø The Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA) – Westchester/Fairfield County Chapter
Ø Information Systems Audit and Control Association (ISACA) – Greater Hartford and New York Metropolitan Chapters
“The number and frequency of data breaches is increasing,” says Pamela Gupta, president of ISC2 CT Chapter. “There is a need for a strategic approach so that companies will understand risks of doing business - why they could be targeted, what kind of information is of value to adversaries and how companies can protect themselves.”
