Synopsis:
 


Using Strong Processes to Counter Emerging Cyber Threats

Information Security is establishing its place among the chief of concerns at the executive level. Information Security is widely recognized as a strategic discipline, requiring formal and holistic processes.  These processes and the technologies they rely on are subject to change and enhancement, given the evolving nature of threats and risks to the enterprise.

What are Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) and their information security personnel to do when facing the evolving threat landscape and, simultaneously, demands from enterprise leaders (and customers) to achieve the highest levels of integrity, confidentiality, and availability?  Experienced CISOs understand these challenges and rise above them to achieve organizational objectives and operational excellence. They seek out the latest and greatest in point solutions, while enhancing and evolving their processes to pivot and adjust to the evolving threat landscape.

Takeaways:
Attendees will walk away with the following:
  • An understanding of the current threat landscape and emerging threats.
  • Perspective as to where processes break down and require enhancement.
  • Process improvements that have been identified as effective and valuable in the field.

NY SPIN 2016-17 Season starting soon

The 2016-2017 NY SPIN Season is taking shape. We could still use a little help getting the full season together, so if you can help in any way, please drop us a note at programs [at] nyspin.org -- and remember to provide your name and contact info so we can get in touch.

We'll be switching things around a bit this season, and our meetings will be mostly on Mondays and a few will be on Thursdays. The dates are already posted on the calendar page of our website (http://nyspin.org), and we'll start filling in some of the programs soon and the invites for our September event will be coming soon as well, so stay tuned.

Thanks.

NY SPIN and the NY SPIN Program Committee
