Insight and Inventories: The ingredients of good I.S. decisions
with Eric Berube, Bowdoin College
Making decisions about information security for an organization is exceedingly difficult even with the appropriate tools and information. Too often,
however, organizations make these decisions with little to no information, and choose to just follow prevailing trends in the security landscape. To
make the best decisions about risk to your organization, the first step is to have visibility into what is happening on your networks, and to inventory
your data.
Forcing function on data inventories: GDPR implementation
with Ande Smith, Deer Brook Consulting
Much talk has swirled around the European Unions General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The nature and scope of its potential requirements (to
the extent they are known) has many organizations anxious. Knowing what data you have and how to protect it has often been overlooked by organizations
in developing cybersecurity controls, but for those eyeing the May 2018 implementation date of the GDPR regulations, those days are past. This part
of the program briefly reviews the requirements of the GDPR, explains how data inventories relate, and suggests key strategies for addressing the requirements.
