PRACTICE POINT: Cybersecurity - A CCO's Guide to What Regulators Expect

Today, ReGroup hosted a virtual discussion with John Cunningham, co-author of Wolves, Sheep, and Sheepdogs: A Leader's Guide to Information Security; former Chief Information Risk Officer, Head of Information Security/Risk, Architecture, and IT Governance at Ares Management, LP, and current CISO and CIO at Docupace Technologies, entitled CYBERSECURITY: A CCO's Guide to What Regulators Expect.

“Having sat through countless conference sessions and webinars focused on cybersecurity issues, I can say with 100% certainty that yours was the best I’ve seen. The practical/real world compliance angle separated it from all the others.”

— General Counsel and CCO attendee

In this 1-hour presentation, John—an enthusiastic presenter who makes complex material digestible and whose practical perspective makes this time worth spending –walked us through the following:

SEC and state regulators’ expectations for your firm’s cybersecurity program
Five key questions you should ask to determine your cybersecurity program’s level of effectiveness
Leading practices for how compliance and IT together can contribute to the necessary corporate culture
Five categories of the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (the same framework used by the SEC) to build a risk-based control framework

We enjoyed John’s candor and credibility when it came to this prevalent topic and hope you do, too!
