Aggressive and Persistent: Using Frameworks to Defend Against Cyber Attacks

Video description

Cyber threats are growing in frequency and severity, and every organization is at risk. In this interactive Harvard Business Review webinar, cybersecurity experts Professor Scott Shackelford of Indiana University's Kelley School of Business and Andrew Proia of Indiana University's Center for Applied Cybersecurity Research unpack the cyber threat facing the private sector. They focus on traditional categories of cyber crime and analyze how cyber threats are impacting different sectors. They share examples of cyber crimes perpetuated on companies and summarize U.S. responses to date. Shackelford and Proia also share best practices for mitigating cyber risks and discuss frameworks for better managing attacks. In particular, they dig into the recently released National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Cybersecurity Framework and explore what it means for your company. The US impact of the NIST Framework on crafting a cybersecurity duty of care are considered and put into a global perspective, including discussions of evolving European Union cybersecurity policymaking and debates over Internet governance.
