A CISO Guide to AI and Privacy

Privacy and security are distinct yet equally important disciplines, each addressing unique challenges. This session will provide a brief overview of what privacy is, its key differences from security, and why these teams must work together. Through practical insights, you’ll learn how collaboration can strengthen compliance, reduce risks, and build trust across your organization.

Privacy & Security: Different But Equal and Why They Need to Work Together

According to recent research, a staggering 60% of breaches happen because of vulnerabilities that go unpatched—even when a fix is available. As the volume of vulnerabilities increases, capacity to address them hasn’t kept up, security teams are often overwhelmed and don’t know where to start. To address this gap, we need a better way to evaluate and prioritize vulnerabilities and the risks they pose to our organizations.
In this webinar, Justin Scarpaci, Technical Strategist at Sevco Security, will provide a framework for assessing risk to prioritize the most critical vulnerabilities for the most effective remediation. In this webinar, he’ll discuss:
  ● Why the first step is to understand where your security tools are – and aren’t – deployed
  ● The limitations around existing vulnerability scoring systems like CVSS
  ● How to better assess likelihood of exploit alongside org-specific intelligence like business impact provides a more complete risk assessment
  ● What signals can be used to determine vulnerability likelihood and business impact
Attendees will leave with practical approaches to apply within their organizations.

Beyond the Basics: What Firefighting Can Teach Us About Cyber Resilience – Unveiling the IDRRA Framework for Dynamic Defense

What it means to be truly resilient—because in the world of cyber, as in firefighting, preparedness & adaptability are everything. When we think of cyber resilience, we often default to the basics: protect, detect, and respond. But true resilience goes beyond these elements. Just as firefighters don't just react to a fire but prepare, anticipate, and adapt their tactics based on an evolving understanding of the situation, organizations must rethink how they approach cyber resilience.

In this session, I will introduce the IDRRA Framework (Investigate, Declare, Respond, Recover, Adapt), a proprietary approach that borrows from the disciplined, dynamic, and proactive strategies of firefighting to better prepare for and respond to cyber threats. This framework challenges the conventional wisdom of cyber security, moving beyond static defense and response to embrace a more agile, adaptive, and holistic approach to cyber resilience.

Just as firefighting is a mix of preparation, swift response, and continuous adaptation, true cyber resilience requires a blend of technical excellence, operational agility, and cultural commitment. It’s time we stop seeing cyber resilience as a checkbox activity and start treating it as an ongoing operation—dynamic, complex, and ever-evolving.

Join me for this thought-provoking session where we will delve into the IDRRA framework, drawing parallels with firefighting to uncover the unspoken elements of CR that many organizations overlook. Let's explore how adopting this framework can transform your approach to security, turning your organization from a passive defender into a proactive, adaptive force in the face of cyber threats.

Resilience is the ability to remain viable amidst adversity and to be better for it. The world has come to realize incidents will happen. The key is to detect faster and to recover quicker. Malicious actors understand our technical defenses are strong, so they exploit the softer dimensions of people, process, and organization.

In this session, we will level-set the guiding principles of resilience while walking through national and international efforts, including legislation, regulations, and standards. After laying the foundation, the session will map out the core steps to achieve resilience while providing lessons learned and street knowledge so you can make informed decisions.

The President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST) produced “Strategy for Cyber-Physical Resilience: Fortifying Our Critical Infrastructure for a Digital World.”

The EU enacted the Network and Information Security Directive (NIS2) to raise the level of resilience across the EU. The EU also passed the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) to further bolster the financial services sector. Other nations like Canada have similar efforts.

The session will suggest tools and techniques to facilitate your journey along with metrics, statistics, and case studies to make informed decisions.
