Agenda:
12:00 Registration
12:30–1:20 Robert Siciliano, The Panacea is Security Appreciation, not Awareness Training
Security Awareness has not worked. Some studies show anywhere from 15-80 percent of consumers or employees still fall for phishing scams. Why? There is no patch for human gullibility. And because security awareness is “head based” information, knowledge, perception or an intellectual understanding it still lacks “security appreciation”. Security appreciation is consciousness, comprehension and a degree of gratitude for someone or something. This “heart based” appreciation and understanding affects us at a cellular level. When you make your employees and client’s data security appreciative and social engineering proofed, then your data and everyone’s identities become tougher to hack.
1:30–2:20 Michael Rasmussen, GRC Economist & Pundit, The Role of Info/CyberSec in Operational & Enterprise Risk Management Programs
When the organization approaches information risk as a silo disconnected from other enterprise risk areas that do not collaborate with each other there is no possibility to be intelligent about risk decisions that could impact broader business strategy and operations. Risk Management maturity increases as the ability to connect, understand, analyze, and monitor interrelationships and underlying patterns of performance, risk, and compliance across the business grows. Organizations require complete situational and holistic awareness of information risk management across operations, processes, relationships, systems, transactions, and data to see the big picture or risk and impact on performance and strategy. Understanding and managing risk in today’s environment requires a new paradigm in managing the interconnections and relationships of risk, particularly information risk.
2:30–2:45 BREAK
2:45-3:15 Verterim's Jennifer Pesci-Anderson and Peter Ridgley, Why GRC Programs Fail?
Learn the top 7 reasons why GRC programs fail - no matter the size of the program. Verterim will share what you can do to identify red flags to side-step failure, use the antidotes to turn failures into successes, create the path to GRC success.
