SUMMARY:Increasing ROI for Security Operations: Effectiveness vs. Compliance
DESCRIPTION:Event description\n\n\n\nAs cyber threats continue to evolve in complexity and sophistication\, cybersecurity isn’t a one-time task. It’s an ongoing effort that requires regular checks\, updates\, and teamwork. But amidst a sea of vendors\, solutions\, and budget constraints\, leaders face tough decision on where to invest their resources. \n\n\n\nSecond in our quarterly series\, we tackle cost-effective cybersecurity strategies. This session focuses on aligning cybersecurity effectiveness with compliance—essential yet often divergent goals. We will explore common compliance requirements\, cybersecurity efficacy\, and strategies to harmonize the two. While some of these topics are binary (1 or 0) there is room for interpretation in many areas. C-level executives can better prioritize time and attention to instead focus on the key areas that truly improve the organization’s cybersecurity posture to enable business success.  \n\n\n\nStay tuned for our future sessions covering regulatory drivers\, staffing solutions\, continuous improvement\, and leveraging cybersecurity for business objectives.

SUMMARY:Harvesting Returns with Energy Investments
DESCRIPTION:Event description\n\n\n\nMany manufacturing companies hesitate to adopt energy management solutions due to concerns about poor IT integrations and asset performance. However\, as manufacturers aim to improve their financial performance by reducing operating expenses\, they are seeking sophisticated energy strategies to achieve efficiencies. \n\n\n\nBy utilizing historical and near real-time data\, manufacturers can reduce energy costs and accelerate sustainability goals by customizing operational strategies based on site-specific tariffs and onsite conditions. They can additionally optimize charge and discharge schedules to control distributed energy resources such as solar panels\, storage batteries\, wind turbines\, and gas generators. \n\n\n\nThis webcast will focus on energy strategies that can help manufacturers achieve efficiency\, reduce costs and accelerate sustainability goals.

SUMMARY:Transforming Carbon Compliance into Cost Savings
DESCRIPTION:Event description\n\n\n\nThe anticipation of mandatory emissions disclosures related to carbon is leading to increased inquiries regarding reporting and compliance. As a result\, manufacturers are now searching for ways to transform data into actionable insights and achieve operational cost savings through better reporting and compliance.  \n\n\n\nManufacturers encounter a shared set of obstacles in gathering\, consolidating\, and displaying energy usage and power generation data. Due to numerous locations and asset types\, different data sources\, and utility bills with varying structures\, creating a comprehensive view of energy and emissions can be a challenge.  \n\n\n\nThis webcast will focus on how enhancing energy data resolution can help manufacturers unlock insights into energy consumption\, emissions\, and savings opportunities.

SUMMARY:NIST 2.0: Internal audit’s role in cybersecurity program initiatives
DESCRIPTION:Event description\n\n\n\nThe NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) is one of the most widely adopted cybersecurity standards designed to help manage cybersecurity risks. Since its first release in 2014\, the framework has been updated to incorporate public comments over the years that make it widely applicable with an emphasis on governance and supply chains. In addition to the five core functions from its prior release\, identify\, protect\, detect\, respond\, and recover\, the framework’s core component now includes a new key function: Govern. \n\n\n\nJoin us on May 8th to hear how internal audit leaders can leverage the new NIST CSF v2.0 to enhance cybersecurity program effectiveness. Internal auditors can guide the process by understanding the new framework’s potential benefits. They can help enhance their organization’s current cybersecurity program with effective strategies aligned with business goals. By collaborating with IT and cybersecurity professionals\, internal auditors can ensure proper and up-to-date controls are implemented to manage evolving cybersecurity risks.  \n\n\n\nThe discussion will focus on: \n\n\n\n\nCurrent trends in cybersecurity risks. We’ll discuss the latest trends and developments in managing risks associated with IT and Cybersecurity issues that continue to evolve. \n\n\n\nUpdates made to NIST2.0 Framework. We’ll discuss the expansion\, the addition of the govern function and the emphasis on supply chain risk management.\n\n\n\nSuccessful NIST CSF v2.0 adoption strategy. We’ll explore examples of organizations effectively integrating NIST CSF 2.0 into their current cybersecurity audit plan.\n\n\n\nCommon challenges and mitigation. We’ll discuss challenges such as program adoption\, governance models\, and determine actions required to address emerging risks with regulations.\n\n\n\nEducating the Organization. We’ll share strategies for communicating the benefits and risks of adopting the NIST CSF v2.0 into an organization and fostering a culture of continuous improvement.\n\n\n\nLeading practices for cybersecurity program maturity. We’ll present best practices for organizations to mature their cybersecurity program with governance and managing risks from supply chain and other technology risks.
