Learn the fundamentals of developing a risk management program from the man who wrote the book on the topic: Ron Ross, computer scientist for the National Institute of Standards and Technology. In an exclusive presentation, Ross, lead author of NIST Special Publication 800-37 - the bible of risk assessment and management - will share his unique insights on how to:

• Understand the current cyber threats to all public and private sector organizations;
• Develop a multi-tiered risk management approach built upon governance, processes and information systems;
• Implement NIST's risk management framework, from defining risks to selecting, implementing and monitoring information security controls.
