Thursday, July 12, 2018 - 10:00am to 11:30amAre you a small business that:
Does work directly with the Department of Defense?Does work with a large prime contractor?Is looking to develop a cybersecurity plan?One of the reasons many companies don't have a cybersecurity strategy is because they don't know where to start. With all of the recommendations out there, what gets overlooked is the need for a cybersecurity plan. A cybersecurity plan can help you understand your most important security needs and next steps, avoiding costly or unnecessary measures.
This seminar is designed around cybersecurity guidelines from the National Institute of Standards & Technology (NIST). These guidelines are a requirement for many DoD prime and subcontractors, and are a great starting point for other companies.
Note: This will also included a demonstration of the Dept. of Homeland Security's CSET tool, which results in a printable cybersecurity plan.
