INTERFACE Spokane
Presented by Jerry Petru, President • InfraGard Washington
This session is designed for individuals responsible for their organizations' Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability from the front door firewall administrator with IDS/IPS, cloud, compliance, data governance, and networking all the way to the Chief Executives of an organization. In a world of ever-changing threat landscapes, this session will cover the overall magnitude of the challenge! We’ll discuss the evolution as it took place and what to do about fixing what is in our hands today.
We’ll cover how to speak to the C-Suite and get the business side of the conversation to move toward better security hygiene and answer the question of how much security is enough. This session is truly about information security risk. The risk is Very High for all organizations. The NIST 800-30 defines Very High Risk as that of a threat event that could be expected to have multiple severe or catastrophic adverse effects on organizational operations, organizational assets, individuals, other organizations, or the Nation. The discussion will be open and free-flowing, covering real-world business issues and providing a platform to ask your questions.
