Cyber Insurance Myths to be Debunked at SANS Charlotte Cyber Security Training Event
Offers Insight into How Insurance Can Support an Organization's Overall Cyber Security Strategy
BETHESDA, Md., April 30, 2018 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- SANS Institute, the global leader in cyber security training, today announced the agenda for SANS Charlotte 2018 taking place in North Carolina July 9-14. The event will feature immersion-style training courses covering cyber defense, ethical hacking, critical security controls, and ICS security. Bonus evening discussions, including a talk by the Chief Technology Officer for Axio Jason Christopher entitled Debunking the Myths about Cyber Insurance, will round out the agenda.
According to Jason Christopher (@jdchristopher), "There are many myths when it comes to cyber insurance and the role the insurance industry plays in a holistic cyber resilience strategy. While insurance is not always popular among the security community, to reduce cyber risk across an organization, security leaders are looking at cyber insurance as a key consideration in the overall cyber security strategy. Join me at SANS Charlotte where I will debunk the common myths and focus on realities of cyber insurance. I will also share insight into the positive role the insurance industry plays in managing cyber risk and supporting a holistic cyber resilience strategy."
In addition to his evening talk, Christopher will also teach the ICS456: Essentials for NERC Critical Infrastructure Protection course. This five-day course empowers students with knowledge of the what and how of version 5/6 standards. Students have stated that this course proved invaluable for those involved with NERC CIP compliance in any capacity.
