Webinar: CMMC – Why We Do It (Part 3: Keep It Simple, Stupid)
It is no longer about the risk of being the target of a cyber-attack – your business is targeted every day. It’s about the risk of being the victim of a successful cyber-attack. With cyber-attacks growing in frequency and sophistication, they threaten not only the security of your company’s and your customers’ information, but they also threaten the ability of your business to stay in business. Implementing security measures and protocols that guard against these threats and that eliminate potential vulnerabilities is critical.
This eight-part webinar series will delve into specific cyber threats and attacks that exist today, and explain how they function and how they can be defeated. Join Ed Bassett, NeoSystems’ Chief Cybersecurity Evangelist, NeoSystems Senior Vice President Stuart Itkin, and industry experts from the public and private sectors for a series of webinar discussions that connect the dots between threats and vulnerabilities, and security measures. We will explain why particular NIST 800-171 controls exist, what threats and vulnerabilities they guard against, and how they entire control set works together to form a security shield against internal and external threats.
You will walk away from this series with knowledge in key areas including:
- What are the common security themes/concerns.
- How do threat actors find and exploit weaknesses
- Which controls address the specific threats and vulnerabilities
- Best practices for addressing security controls and mitigating your risk
In our third episode on October 9, The K.I.S.S. Principle: Keep It Simple, Stupid, experts from NeoSystems and Cherry Bekaert will review detailed information on how complexity and connectivity increase the probability and impact of a cyber event. We will discuss the importance of configuration management along with system and communications protections.
