Topic. Cybersecurity for PMs

PDU Categories/Quantity:  Strategic and Business Management: 1.0 Hours / Technical: 0.5 Hours

Synopsis of Session.  Developing and implementing a Cybersecurity strategy and program is a rapidly growing priority that project managers (PMs) face daily in assuring reliable, resilient operations for their organizations or clients.  PMs are challenged to embrace a management approach to ensure they successfully meet that goal.  When it comes to cyber and network security, there is a daunting amount of information to sift through.  From firewalls to two-factor authentication to access controls to VPNs – there are a lot of things to wrap your head around. And the truth is, it’s all important. 

Paige Goss will provide an overview of opportunities for PMs to fully integrate Cybersecurity considerations into projects.  She will highlight steps PMs can take to develop and deploy a comprehensive and continuous security posture/program that works for your business.  Paige will share a structured approach to embed robust Governance, Risk Management and Compliance (GDPR, HIPAA, CCPA, CMMC, NIST, ISO27001, FISMA Analysis and Strategic Planning, etc.) procedures into operational practices.
