This document summarizes a presentation on SOC reporting and cybersecurity frameworks. It discusses the increasing need for cybersecurity frameworks due to rising data breaches and threats. It provides an overview of different SOC reports, including SOC 1, 2, and 3 reports, and introduces a new SOC for Cybersecurity report. This new report allows entities to demonstrate the effectiveness of controls in their cybersecurity risk management program. The presentation describes the components and structure of the SOC for Cybersecurity report, including describing the entity's cybersecurity risk management program and evaluating the effectiveness of controls. It recommends entities undertake a readiness review to identify gaps and determine next steps.
Introduction to Risk Management via the NIST Cyber Security FrameworkPECB
The cyber security profession has successfully established explicit guidance for practitioners to implement effective cyber security programs via the NIST Cyber Security Framework (CSF). The CSF provides both a roadmap and a measuring stick for effective cyber security. Application of the CSF within cyber is nothing new, but the resurgence of Enterprise Security Risk Management and Security Convergence highlight opportunities for expanded application for cyber, physical, and personnel security risks. This NIST CSF can help practitioners build a cross-pollenated understanding of holistic risk.
Main points covered:
• Understand the purpose, value, and application of the NIST CSF in familiar non-technical terms.
• Understand how the Functions and Categories of the NIST CSF (the CSF “Core”) and an organization's “current” and “target” profiles are relevant and valuable in a variety of sectors and environments.
• Understand how an organization’s physical and cyber security resources and stakeholders can align with the NIST CSF as a tool to achieve holistic security risk management.
Presenters:
David Feeney, CPP, PMP has 17 years of security industry experience assisting organizations with risk management matters specific to physical, personnel, and cyber security. He has 9 years of experience with service providers and 8 years of experience within enterprise security organizations. David has worked with industry leaders in the energy, technology, healthcare, and real estate sectors. Areas of specialization include Security Operations Center design and management, Security Systems design and implementation, and Enterprise Risk Management. David holds leadership positions in ASIS International and is also a member of the InfraGard FBI program. David holds Certification Protection Professional (CPP) and Project Management Professional (PMP) certifications.
Andrea LeStarge, MS has over ten years of experience in program management, risk analysis and curriculum development. Being specialized in Homeland Security, Andrea leverages her experience in formerly managing projects to support various Federal Government entities in identifying, detecting and responding to man-made, natural and cyber incidents. She has an established track record in recognizing security gaps and corrective risk mitigation options, while effectively communicating findings to stakeholders, private sector owners and operators, and first-responder personnel within tactical, operational and strategic levels. Overall, Andrea encompasses analytical tradecraft and demonstrates consistent, repeatable and defensible methodologies pertaining to risk and the elements of threat, vulnerability and consequence.

Secrets to managing your Duty of Care in an ever- changing world.
How well do you know your risks?
Are you keeping up with your responsibilities to provide Duty of Care?
How well are you prioritising Cybersecurity initiatives?
Liability for Cybersecurity attacks sits with Executives and Board members who may not have the right level of technical security knowledge. This session will outline what practical steps executives can take to implement a Cybersecurity Roadmap that is aligned with its strategic objectives.
Led by Krist Davood, who has spent over 28 years implementing secure mission critical systems for executives. Krist is an expert in protecting the interconnectedness of technology, intellectual property and information systems, as evidenced through his roles at The Good Guys, Court Services Victoria and Schiavello.
The seminar will cover:
• Fiduciary responsibility
• How to efficiently deal with personal liability and the threat of court action
• The role of a Cybersecurity Executive Dashboard and its ability to simplify risk and amplify informed decision making
• How to identify and bridge the gap between your Cybersecurity Compliance Rating and the threat of court action

The cyber security job is everyone's business including the Board of Directors, even without a cyber security degree. Recent cyber security news proves that. According to several studies, Boards are getting it wrong and are leaving cyber awareness and risk management in the hands of the CEO, CISO, CTOs and cyber security companies. In a sense they are abdicating their responsibility to the shareholders. This slideshare proposes 7 questions every board should be asking their company executives abour IT security. They're not necessarily all encompassing and don't take the place of real cybersecurity training, but will drive the discussion to better and more complete understanding of strategic risk. Questions cover the basics of cyber security training, cyber policies, who briefs and when at board meetings. Thanks.

Cybersecurity Assurance at CloudSec 2015 Kuala LumpurAlan Yau Ti Dun
"Like any information security processes, there should be an adequate and"
"reasonable level of assurance for cyber security, which completes the security perspective when combined with governance and management processes. Cyber security assurance requires a comprehensive set of controls that covers risk as well as management processes."
"These controls are supported by appropriate metrics and indicators for"
"security goals and factual security risk. This session will share the cybesecurity self assessment program in carrying out an audit or self- assessment review on cyber security controls and practices in a typical organisation. This assurance program will leverage on COBIT 5 framework"
"and COBIT 5 for Information Security as a baseline."

The Art of the Pitch: WordPress Relationships and SalesLaura Byrne
Clients don’t know what they don’t know. What web solutions are right for them? How does WordPress come into the picture? How do you make sure you understand scope and timeline? What do you do if sometime changes?
All these questions and more will be explored as we talk about matching clients’ needs with what your agency offers without pulling teeth or pulling your hair out. Practical tips, and strategies for successful relationship building that leads to closing the deal.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

The AICPA defines an entity’s cybersecurity risk
management program as
“a set of policies, processes, and controls
designed to protect information and systems from
security events that could compromise the
achievement of the entity’s cybersecurity
objectives and to detect, respond to, mitigate, and
recover from, on a timely basis, security events
that are not prevented.”
