Webinars, panels, and commentary for cutting-edge CISOs, cybersecurity teams, IT compliance professionals, and risk management experts.

Cybersecurity teams are fundamentally challenged; lack of support from the business, lack of budget from IT, and insufficient resources, the challenges are real. As organizations seek to leverage digital transformation to be able to serve new customers, offer new services to existing customers, and cut costs, there is a sobering reality. The increase in digital business directly increases digital business risk. Success in a modern digital world requires value creation and protection, integration with organizational capabilities, and a focus on innovation to create adaptive, resilient organizations. 

In this STRONGER 2023 session, Patrick Von Schlag introduced the notion of a Digital Value Management System and an overlay model that dramatically increases leadership buy-in, allows for the assessment and prioritization of gaps, and drives dramatic improvements in an organization's ability to survive in the face of chaos.

STRONGER 2023: Moving from Cybersecurity to Digital Value Management

Reputational damage has long been a source of contention when understanding business risk. We know the consumer cares, but how much? 

In this STRONGER 2023 breakout session, Steven Switz demonstrated how to view risk from the perspective of the consumer and what a data breach or non-compliance in data processing activities means to them. This can strongly indicate the reputational brand damage impact a business may be undertaking. Businesses often look solely at the impact of various risks to themselves and fail to consider the impact on the individual, which can be a generous source of information to understand the actual risk when making these decisions properly.

STRONGER 2023: Understanding Brand Damage Using Privacy Harm Taxonomy

This session from STRONGER 2023 examined the process, substance, and possible outcomes of Attorneys General and OCR investigations. The states vary widely; however, there are a few consistencies that businesses can always expect and plan for. To that end, planning for a regulatory investigation begins well before a business experiences a cyber incident and can significantly impact the outcome of any investigation.

Cybersecurity, as a profession, fundamentally fails in communicating to non-security professionals. Much of the available information assumes an enterprise organization can afford to hire a full-time CISO to build a security team and invest in advanced tooling - which is not as common as it should be. 

This talk from STRONGER 2023 provided a way for security professionals to communicate security health meaningfully to non-security leadership. Additionally, viewers can leverage the Security Health Model and Assessment to quickly set up metrics for a new or existing cybersecurity program.

STRONGER 2023: Exploring Cyber Risk Management and Privacy Synergy

This presentation from STRONGER 2023 explored a tech stack that leverages virtual and augmented reality capabilities to create a Cyber Digital Twin (CDT). The CDT goes beyond the traditional Digital Twin concept by incorporating cybersecurity into virtual models. This enables a proactive approach to cybersecurity, where potential vulnerabilities can be identified and addressed in the virtual environment before their exploitation in the physical world. The combination of virtual reality and cyber technologies allows the exploration of several use cases like threat simulation, risk assessment, incident response training, non-invasive red team assessment, etc. Security teams can identify mission-critical assets and virtualize key components for attack path and business impact analysis. Moreover, the virtual nature of CDT facilitates an aggressive re-testing schedule to manage active attack surfaces. As more and more industries adopt virtual reality technologies, CDTs are expected to become an essential part of the digital transformation journey.

STRONGER 2023: The Intersection of ICS Security and Metaverse

During this session from STRONGER 2023, Keaton Fisher provided a comprehensive look into the current trends within threat intelligence. In his role at Silobreaker, Keaton has visibility into areas that industries worldwide are monitoring. Government, finance, retail, MSSPs, etc were analyzed. 

The session provided a view into each of these industries in an anonymized fashion to present their primary and tertiary concerns within the threat landscape. These findings should provide value to companies in the same or similar industries by teaching them what sort of threats are most prevalent to them and what their peers are doing to navigate those threats.

The panel dove into the message a Wells Notice sends to the security leadership community and its potential impact on the CISO-board relationship.

The panel also considered the upcoming SEC regulations, the importance of private companies paying attention to these actions, and the potential formation of cybersecurity committees by boards. Lastly, this panel analyzed the government's role in enhancing protection for U.S. companies, distinguished between espionage and cyber attacks, and evaluated the involvement of compliance teams in addressing these challenges.
