The ISC2 Knowledge Vault brings the community relevant and cutting edge infosecurity discussions presented by subject matter experts. Subscribers also benefit from pre-recorded mini webcasts that give viewers a sneak peek into each of ISC2’s certifications' domains, including the gold standard cybersecurity certification, the CISSP, and ISC2’s fastest growing certification, the CCSP.

While ensuring cyber security is important for organisations of all sizes, it often poses particular challenges for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs).  Smaller businesses can face constraints in terms of time, skills and resources, which can in turn lead to difficulties in recognising the issues, understanding their own needs, and being able to follow good practice.  
 
These challenges have provided the motivation for the Cyber Security Communities of Support (CyCOS) project; a 2.5-year collaboration between three UK universities (Nottingham, Queen Mary and Kent), supported by a range of industry, government and professional partners including ISC2.  The early phases of the CyCOS research have been investigating the current challenges faced by SMEs, involving extensive data collected from SMEs themselves and those already providing them with support. Although a wealth of information is available, there are still hurdles to overcome in terms of finding it, understanding it and following it.   More recently, the project has been tracking what happens from SME and provider perspectives during the associated ‘support journeys’, and it is working towards the design and trialling of a new approach in which SMEs and advisors are brought together in a community-based context. These communities will also offer a further channel through which to socialise and demystify cyber security for the SME audience, based upon collaboration between organisations in the same region, sector or supply chain.  
 
In this session, Prof. Steven Furnell will discuss the issue of cyber security for SMEs, and highlight some of the key findings from the CyCOS work to date.  He will also explain more about the proposed Communities of Support, including means by which interested attendees can get involved.

Cyber Challenges for Small and Medium-size Businesses

Organisations of all sizes are having to learn and adapt with a turbulent economic landscape where the wider business environment plays a bigger role than ever. As we embrace a time of unparalleled change, cyber and tech professionals, of all levels, are going to need to embrace professional development to prepare for uncertain times. But, how many know how to show the evidence of their skill set, and their desire and ability to learn more? 
 
Assoc. Prof Dr. Abel Yeboah-Ofori will lead this webinar on how to develop your skills in cyber security whilst in your role and will explore: What the market looks like for cyber professionals, of all levels, right now, Why your professional profile will help you stand out and How CPD can showcase what you already know and embed the skills to drive you towards your next role.
 
Abel has published about 40 Journals and Conference papers in high Impact Journals including IEEE, and Emerald amongst others. His areas of expertise and research interest include Cyber Supply Chain Security, Cyber Physical Systems Security, Digital Forensics, Cyber Threat Intelligences, Cloud Security and Machine Learning.
 
Abel was co-opted to write the Cyber Security Policy for Ghana. He has been involved in multiple projects and other Cybersecurity consultancy services which he has contributed as both a researcher and a developer in projects for Child Online Africa in collaboration with UNICEF and Ghana Telecom Industries. Abel in collaborating with DWP organized a Cyber Security Career Fair 2024 at UWL and invited major companies including Google, NCSC, BBC, TikTok, Deloitte, Police, UK Army, UK Parliament.

Developing Skills in Cyber Whilst in the Role

Artificial intelligence (AI) has bolstered cybersecurity solutions across the board. Security teams have more ways to detect advanced threats than ever before, and organizations are much better equipped to measure and reduce their attack surfaces. However, AI also benefits cyber adversaries with improved phishing and spear phishing techniques and new methods for tricking unsuspecting victims using deepfake content spawned by generative AI. Listen in to Steve Piper, Founder & CEO of CyberEdge, as he provides a comprehensive analysis of AI's dual role in both fortifying and challenging modern cyber defenses. Discover who's winning the AI arms race in cybersecurity.

Top Five Cybersecurity Predictions for 2025

Is the world in the midst of a cyber-war? If so, what do we do ? What are the implications? Our guest speaker is Dr Tine Munk, Author and Senior Academic at Nottingham Trent University in the UK. Dr Munk is known for cybercrime and cybersecurity. Her overarching research interest is cybercrimes in a political context, focusing on these crimes’ power, responses, and impacts.
 
Join this webinar on December 3, 2024 at 8:00 a.m. Eastern as Dr Munk explores some of the most notable recent cyber-attacks and draws interesting correlations with the tenets of warfare and defence.  During this webinar we will:
- Identify how organizations should be preparing for an information security landscape
- Practical tips on what to think about in your future cyber careers.

The Art of Cyber Warfare

The cybersecurity profession faces many challenges but even more opportunities. The ISC2 research team is dedicated to better understanding the barriers facing the cybersecurity workforce, but we are also focused on uncovering solutions that position these talented individuals to excel in their profession, better defend their organizations’ data and surpass their career goals.

Our research explores a broad array of topics, including:
<ul>
<li>Quantifying the cybersecurity workforce and skills gap</li>
<li>Better understanding the representation of women and minorities within the field</li>
<li>Salary benchmarking</li>
<li>Uncovering effective hiring, retention and team-building practices</li>
<li>Exploring management and leadership issues facing CISOs and Boards</li></ul>

Through better understanding of the challenges and opportunities facing cybersecurity professionals, we are closer to achieving our vision of a safe and secure cyber world. Our Academic Partnerships Head, Alex Mortimer MBA will present the latest data and why our certifications are so important in closing the cyber work force skills gap.

The 2024 ISC2 Cybersecurity Workforce Research Data

Has your organization jumped on the passwordless authentication bandwagon yet? If not, it should. Passwordless authentication embraces possession factors, such as certificates and hardware tokens, and inherence factors, such as fingerprints and face scans, to replace legacy password and single sign-on (SSO) authentication methods. It also strengthens your organization’s security posture while improving the user experience for accessing company applications and data. Join Steve Piper, Founder & CEO of CyberEdge (and proud CISSP), as he reviews modern passwordless authentication technologies and the benefits organizations have achieved by implementing them.

Passwordless Authentication: A New Reality or a Pipe Dream?

What do Cyber Security professionals do on a day to day? What happens? <br><br>
On todays webinar we will hear from Dr. Bello who specializes in Digital Forensics, Cyber Security, Network Infrastructure Design and Cybercrime Investigation.
