Tonight’s topic

 

"How should CISO’s handle the threat of ransomware and talk to their boards about it?”

 

As the threat of ransomware attacks generates increasing attention in the boardroom, does awareness around this threat actually change the priorities of a CISO? How are CISOs able to effectively communicate these threats to the board? Faced with managing risks from many different threats, does it ever make sense to increase the focus on one specific threat like ransomware?

 

We’ve been investigating how to measure the fundamental security controls around ransomware and how CISO’s should communicate with the board around it and have decided… it’s not that straightforward. To mitigate the risk of a successful ransomware attack, CISOs and their teams need strong visibility and measurement of the key controls that span the infiltration, propagation, and exploitation stages of this type of attack. The data required to create this visibility is locked away in disparate information silos for each individual control.

 

Panaseer will be moderating a peer discussion exploring how to overcome these challenges. During this session, the group will be discussing and collectively answering:

•          What is the importance of focusing on a specific threat like ransomware?

•          Should ransomware protection change the priories of a CISO?

•          What is the best way to report and communicate ransomware risks to the board?

•          What are the protections and controls an organisation needs to have in place to protect against ransomware?

•          How do you continuously measure enterprise-wide ransomware protection levels?

 

About tonight’s sponsor

 

Panaseer is the first Continuous Controls Monitoring (CCM) platform for enterprise security. CCM is solving the biggest challenge in cybersecurity today. Enterprises do not know if their security controls are providing full protection at any given moment in time. Panaseer’s CCM platform uniquely correlates data from all security tools to identify and measure missing assets, control gaps, and advise on underperforming controls. CCM has become a required capability for regulated enterprises. Last year CCM was included in Gartner's Hype Cycle under its Risk Management category. Recently, Momentum Cyber included CCM in its Cybersecurity Almanac, as a next generation technology that will shape the future of cybersecurity.  For more information, visit www.panaseer.com
