Dear Information Security Community Member,
The protection of the United States' critical information infrastructure is a top priority for organizations today, both in public and private sectors. The advanced persistent threat of cyber-attack continues to impact the missions and business operations of many organizations due to the ongoing compromises and breaches of their information systems and networks.
Breaking down institutional barriers and changing organizational culture are necessary first steps in building effective cybersecurity and risk management programs. Increasing the trustworthiness and resiliency of organizational information systems supporting critical missions and business functions will, however, require significant investments in hardening the underlying IT infrastructure.
If you want to find out how TACIT Security (Threat, Assets, Complexity, Integration, & Trustworthiness) describes the key areas and issues that organizations can focus on to ensure that tangible steps are taken to protect their critical assets, you may want to ensure that you attend this complimentary informational webinar on 19 Aug 2014 from 2-4 pm EST.
