Class 5 in the series will address cyber threats within the organization as well as programs for sharing information on cyber threats and spreading cyber risk. We will delve into issues related to insider threat, including requirements applicable to government contractors and best practices for developing an insider threat plan. We also will discuss cyber insurance and factors to consider when determining which plan may be best for an organization. Additionally, this class will explore information sharing programs, including the Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act (CISA), as well as the risks and benefits associated with participation in such programs. Finally, we will review recent legislation and the President’s Executive Order relating to cybersecurity. We will be joined by Special Guest Gabe Taran, Assistant General Counsel for Cybersecurity at the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
This series, taught by two experts in the field, will walk participants through the most important issues facing government contractors as they navigate the fast-changing issues of cybersecurity. Starting with a survey of the current threats confronting all companies in the cyber world, and ending with a session about how to deal with a breach of your systems, this series will also delve into the new government contracting rules relating to cybersecurity, as well as the new twists on existing technology and privacy laws in light of today’s cyber events.
Augmented by guest lecturers from government and the private sector, this webinar series will combine teaching of the key rules with war stories from the front lines and practical advice from experienced practitioners.
