How-to: Industry and NIST Collaboration. Cybersecurity Maturity and Risk Reduction Frameworks

Against the backdrop of our increasing dependency on digital solutions, this session will consider different risk management approaches with special attention to the widely adopted NIST framework and approaches to using commercial cybersecurity to achieve important standards.. With practical applications in mind, our presenters will share how RSA leverages the power of NIST’s federally funded National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) operated by MITRE in its efforts to protect assets from myriad cyber threats, while at the same time reducing deployment risk and lowering costs. What are the best methodologies for reducing the probability and impact of a cyber incident, reducing dwell time, and mitigating the impact of a breach? How can the public and private sectors effectively work together in this space? How can commercial technologies be combined in effective and affordable architectures that industry can really use? Learn about these topics and others in the context of emerging trends and best practices.
