Panel Discussion: Best Practices for Managing Data Security and Privacy Concerns

Description: Data security and privacy are fundamental to cybersecurity risk management. Organizations must have a security architecture and response plan in place before an incident occurs and be able to detect, respond and recover from incidents effectively and efficiently. To help organizations with this challenge, the NCCoE recently published NIST SP 1800-28 and 1800-29, new guidance on preventing and recovering from data confidentiality events. This panel will highlight this new guidance and convene cybersecurity experts to discuss best practices in data security and privacy, including specific use cases, such as ransomware events. ​

Background

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Maryland Department of Commerce, and Montgomery County have launched an initiative, called Cybersecurity Connections, to expand and take advantage of connections based on NCCoE’s work and capabilities. Part of the initiative includes a regular cadence of in-person workshops that will provide the business community with opportunities to visit the NCCoE, meet our subject matter experts, learn about our work, and understand how to get involved in projects. Each event will showcase a different NCCoE project in order to address diverse interests throughout the series.
