Workshop: Cyberdeterrence — Can We Stop Attacks Before They Start?
The NIST CSF is missing a key aspect of cybersecurity. NIST establishes five functions: identify, protect, detect, respond and recover. But what if we can also deter? Join this workshop to discuss how cyberdeterrence can stop attacks before they even begin. We will discuss deterrence strategies, facilitate peer sharing and strategize on actionable steps to take when you return to your offices.

CISO Circle: Workshop: Selling Your Cyber Strategy

The 2023 Outlook for Human Factors in Security
We like to lament that "the users are the weakest link in the cybersecurity chain," which means that as security and risk management leaders, you must understand the critical impact of the user community on your programs. From basic anti-phishing simulation through more proven communications techniques to sophisticated approaches based on social science, this presentation provides insight into the latest best practices in the human aspects of security.
