This talk will explore the growing field of human risk management and quantification, diving into the next step in an organization's risk journey: quantifying people. We will discuss where the market is, how people are adopting it, and what organizations can gain from human risk management.

Join this session on the emerging and evolving field of human risk quantification, which aims to apply quantitative methods to assign risk scores to every employee at a company based on their actions and access. This space is very similar to where cyber risk quantification was about 4 years ago when there were a few start-ups in the market and a few active voices on LinkedIn advocating for the adoption of these practices. Now, human risk quantification is an organizational priority. Having done extensive research into where the players in the market are and how companies utilize these strategies, human risk quantification has become the next step of a risk journey for many companies. Over 80% of breaches involve the human element –– if organizations want to stop them, they need to understand how the people they employ affect their security posture.

The probability of an IT incident happening in your organization is not “if” but “when.”

Social engineering, insider risks, data leaks, equipment failure, and exploits are among the long list of real-world incidents facing today’s enterprises. Do you have a plan in place to prevent and respond to threats that could result in downtime, disruption, and lost revenue?

FNTS Chief Information Security Officer Don Pecha and Cloud Security Architect Arturo Romero will discuss how to build cyber resiliency strategies that include having a cyber incident response training plan and multiple security layers to protect and secure IT platforms from different types of threats.

As natural disasters like hurricanes, wildfires, and severe winter events become more frequent and intense, businesses face increasing economic and operational challenges. High-profile disasters, including the Camp Fire in 2018, which incurred a staggering $16.5 billion in damages, and Hurricane Maria's profound impact on Puerto Rico, estimated at $139 billion for full recovery, underscore the escalating financial stakes.

This presentation will explore effective strategies to bolster business resilience in the face of natural catastrophes.

Key elements of the session will include:

• Critical insights from Arcserve's annual global research study on disaster preparedness.
• A comprehensive Disaster Preparedness Checklist tailored for companies.
• Practical tools designed to safeguard business operations and data resilience.

We will delve into the details of a 5-step disaster and ransomware recovery plan template, as well as the 3-2-1-1 backup strategy, which ensures robust data recovery through multiple backup copies stored both locally and offsite. By implementing these strategies, businesses can minimize financial losses, reduce operational downtime, and achieve a rapid recovery, thereby ensuring continuity even during catastrophic events. This session aims to arm business leaders with the essential tools and knowledge to safeguard their enterprises amidst an increasingly unpredictable global landscape.
