Abstract:
The cyber security challenges are continuing to grow but we must look at how to ensure that the most basic security mechanisms are operationalized. Cyber security frameworks provide the necessary tools to start having the dialogue on what to secure and certifications create some measure of accountability. Yet we still have daily breaches and successful cybercrime campaigns. This talk will focus on how and what to operationalize when building out a more effective security strategy.
