AITP Chicago Security SIG and ISSA Chicago Virtual Meeting - Beyond SolarWinds

You’re Invited to an informational Virtual Meeting.   (See Registration link below)

Topic: Beyond SolarWinds and the Pandemic - Can We Control Cybersecurity and Systemic Risk?

Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity & Ambiguity (VUCA) is the new reality for businesses and governments everywhere. Crisis and risk management is a key responsibility of the C-Suite, Boardroom and government leaders. Supply chain exploitations like the SolarWinds compromise should not be a surprise. By now, hacking has become so routine it is hardly remarkable. The pandemic and other world factors have shown the fragility of our businesses, economic systems and governments.

In this session learn key principles to address these issues including (a) reducing fragility in architecture designs through increased diversity; (b) the necessity to assume permeability and layered security; and (c) acknowledge where current practices produce a fallacy of trust in platforms and services. Mitigating individual risks and plugging vulnerabilities as identified is not a winning strategy against sophisticated organized cyber aggressors, nation-state actors, and unanticipated world events.

Please join us for this highly informative session as Laszlo shares and navigates for us the continually evolving and unsecure landscape of the future.
