The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) is hosting the 5th Annual National Cybersecurity Summit in partnership with the Atlanta University Center Consortium. The CISA Cyber Summit is free to attend and will bring together stakeholders from across the country. This year’s theme, as part of Cybersecurity Awareness Month, is “See Yourself in Cyber,” which means see yourself in cyber no matter what role you play.

When it comes to ransomware, should your agency pay? Not anymore. Under the new amendments to Florida’s State Cybersecurity Act (Bill HB 7055), all state and local governmental entities are prohibited from making ransom payments and must prioritize cybersecurity risk mitigation and ensure their government employees receive ongoing cybersecurity training.

Join us for this deep dive session as Sanjay Deo, HCISPP, CISSP, CISA, CMMC-RP, PCI-QSA, President and Founder of 24By7Security, examines the new requirements. By the end of this session, you’ll walk away with a clear understanding of everything you will need to do to stay safe and compliant.

Ransomware is the tool of choice for bad actors. Ransomware has taken the proportions of a pandemic affecting innumerable computer users, healthcare systems, and hospitals. To compensate for the lack of resources and rising healthcare costs, the healthcare industry is leveraging Internet connectivity to improve patient safety and patient care.

This level of connectivity and advancement has led to the rise of ransomware which is focused on stealing patient data, hacking into medical devices, and stealing the intellectual property of the pharmaceutical industry.

If your organization has contracts with the U.S. Department of Defense, you can’t go more than a couple of days without hearing about the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC). The messaging surrounding this new certification has many companies either in panic or denial about their future CMMC requirements. With the CMMC requirement set to determine who can compete for DoD contracts, the time has come for those in the DoD supply chain to get in the race or get left in the dust.

Managing cybersecurity in today's society is indescribably complex. Many business leadership teams are unprepared for the challenge, or they are unaware of how external firepower might enhance a security strategy.

Many companies of all sizes employ some technical personnel or hire outside specialists to address their security needs. However, who in the company is looking at the big picture of cybersecurity? Enter the VCISO. A VCISO is a problem-solver as well as a leader. Serving as a trusted advisor to senior management in the development of a Company-Wide Security Risk Management Process to ensure best practice control.

We are amid a global pandemic. But - Long before the COVID-19 outbreak, we were already in the clutches of another disease – the ransomware pandemic. This is the first naked truth about ransomware.

We hoped you learned from Sanjay Deo, Founder & President of 24By7Security, on how you can protect your company BEFORE something happens!

Medical device manufacturers continue to develop highly sophisticated, new, and increasingly connected products. However, with this increased connectivity, comes the massive risks that will affect both providers and patients.

Even though these companies continue to heavily invest in the development of new medical device technologies, more often than not, these organizations lack the security expertise and resources to ensure high levels of security are built into these products. 

• If you do get hacked – who do you call? What are your options?
• What are trends and best practices when it comes to policies companies can impose on their employees?

In collaboration with NXT GEN Technologies and Fortinet, we took an opportunity to invite a select few to a private, invitation-only event.

We believed in treating our guests with intent and respect to accelerate our professional goals and foster strong business relationships.
