Join us on Tuesday, October 15 for our monthly chapter meeting with a special guest speaker:  

Think Like the Adversary - A Threat Based Approach to Cyber Architecture

Abstract
The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) developed the .govCAR methodology to take a threat-based approach to cybersecurity risk management. .govCAR represents an evolution in managing cybersecurity —an advancement from the traditional consequence (compliance) and vulnerability (cyber hygiene) based approaches. This next-generation approach looks at cybersecurity capabilities the same way an adversary does to directly identify areas where mitigations should be applied for best defense. .govCAR creates opportunities for organizations to make their own threat-informed risk decisions and develop a prioritized approach to reducing risk to known threats. .govCAR is vendor agnostic and does not evaluate specific vendors or products.The speaker will walk the audience through the concept of threat based architecture reviews and will discuss how cybersecurity threat framework and architectural cybersecurity capabilities come together to allow organizations to improve their cybersecurity posture.
