Even after cybersecurity professionals have built “walls,” they can become obsessed with adding newer, bigger layers of defense. If you have watched Game of Thrones (GoT), you may notice this attitude is similar to the behaviors of those who held power in the show after “the Wall” was built to protect the Seven Kingdoms. The House Stark mantra, “Winter is coming,” which was a warning and a call to remain vigilant, can be related to the vigilance we must adhere to in cybersecurity today.
To glean lessons from GoT that can apply to today’s security landscape, attend the “Winter Is HERE! Cybersecurity Lessons From GoT” webinar presented by ISACA. This webinar, which takes place on 29 October at 11AM CDT (UTC -5 hours), will deconstruct the current security landscape, identify tools best suited to protect an organization’s data, review the types of threats your organization may face, and establish the frameworks and resources that define best practice for your organization’s safety. ISACA members can earn 1 continuing professional education (CPE) hour by attending this webinar and completing a related survey.
Pam Nigro, CISA, CRISC, CGEIT, CRMA, will lead the webinar. Nigro is the senior director of information security, focusing on the governance, risk management and compliance (GRC) practice, at Heath Care Service Corporation (HCSC); an adjunct professor at Lewis University (Romeoville, Illinois); an ISACA board member; and chair of the ISACA Chicago (Illinois, USA) Women’s Forum (SheLeadsTech). In her current position, she is responsible for information technology/information security risk and compliance testing, and she has inaugurated an automated IT and cybersecurity controls/testing/analytics program for Agile/DevSecOps. In this webinar, Nigro will use her vast cybersecurity and compliance experience coupled with her love of GoT to help you identify best cybersecurity practices for your organization in a fun new way.
