How to Turn Cyber Security Fear into a Plan

In their presentation, Ken Muir and John Martynuk will provide guidance on how organizations can build a cyber security business plan and roadmap that aligns to a security framework. The current state and impact of cyber threats will be discussed and the Lifecycle approach to protecting an organization will be presented. This approach includes three phases: assessment, remediation, and security management. During the assessment phase, attendees will learn how to conduct a thorough evaluation of their security program, identifying areas for improvement. The remediation phase focuses on addressing the gaps identified in the assessment, and attendees will learn strategies for implementing effective solutions. Finally, during the security management phase, attendees will learn how to implement and manage the technologies and processes necessary to maintain a strong cybersecurity posture. Overall, this presentation will provide valuable insights and actionable steps to help turn cybersecurity fear into a sustainable and measurable plan.
