Come listen in on hearing a CISO's story of going from carpenter to psychotherapist to security leader. The stories told will help anyone working in cyber - from those looking to break into cyber to those who are battle tested and looking for new support or coping strategies.

Cyber Risk Governance or Cyber Risk Management has been an often talked about concept for more nearly two decades yet remains one of the most elusive and sought after outcomes by every C-level executive across every line of business in every industry sector and particularly in the Board room. In this session, we are going to jump into the shoes of the C-level executives and Board members as we describe "what they want" and how we achieve the visual representation of cyber risk in a way that is easily consumable in a language that is universally understood across three levels of stakeholders (Operational/Technical, IT Management, C-level / Board).

NIST recently released the initial draft of a major update to its cybersecurity guidelines for protecting sensitive unclassified information. The update is intended to help federal agencies and government contractors implement cybersecurity requirements more consistently. The revised draft guidelines, Protecting Controlled Unclassified Information in Nonfederal Systems and Organizations (NIST Special Publication [SP] 800-171 Revision 3), will be of particular interest to the many thousands of businesses that contract with the federal government. Federal rules that govern the protection of controlled unclassified information (CUI), which includes such sensitive data as health information, critical energy infrastructure information and intellectual property, reference the SP 800-171 security requirements. Systems that store CUI often support government programs containing critical assets, such as design specifications for weapons systems, communications systems, and space systems. The changes are intended in part to help these businesses better understand how to implement the specific cybersecurity safeguards provided in a closely related NIST publication, SP 800-53 Rev. 5. The authors have aligned the language of the two publications, so that businesses can more readily apply SP 800-53’s catalog of technical tools, or “controls,” to achieve SP 800-171’s cybersecurity outcomes. The update is designed to help maintain consistent defenses against high-level threats to information security. Many of the newly added requirements specifically address threats to CUI, which recently has been a target of state-level espionage. NIST wants to implement and maintain state-of-the-practice defenses because the threat space of hostile adversaries is changing constantly. Protecting CUI is critical to the national and economic security interests of the United States. This segment is sponsored by Google. Visit https://securityweekly.com/chrome to learn more about them!

As a function of CISOs responsibilities, the best are multi-faceted leaders that shift between cyber, technical, and business domains in response to shifting cyber-risk landscape. This level of adaptability makes them portable to other CISO roles in different industries, and C-level roles that they may not have thought of and frankly, others may not have thought of for them.

At the surface, being a CISO in Higher Education is very similar to any industry vertical but the opportunities, challenges, and impacts are significantly more complex. Many consider HE to be behind in security practices. While it is true that HE doesn't buy a lot of security tools, we are on the leading edge of focusing on mitigating security risks at the level the institution truly needs. Also, our community requires support for accessibility, gender-identity, and general identity access management that is far above what most technologies can handle. All this leads to a CISO needing to be creative, flexible, and thoughtful to best lead their programs. Visit https://securityweekly.com/csp for all the latest episodes!
