Hacker Hour: Successful Tabletop Testing Strategies
 

Tabletop testing is a critical component of a business continuity management program. The exercise is intended to simulate how your organization would react in an emergency situation. Tabletop testing should be completed annually to test the effectiveness of your business continuity plan. After all, how will you know how effective your plan is until you put it to use - preferably in a testing environment versus a real emergency! Tabletop testing allows organizations to gain insight into their current plan's strengths and weaknesses and proactively address any issues. 


Join SBS as we discuss the benefits of consistent tabletop testing and effective testing strategies. We will also share a step-by-step meeting structure you can take back to streamline your next tabletop test.

Hacker Hour: The Rise of the vCISO

The term vCISO (virtual chief information security officer) is a relatively new term being used in the cyber world, but the outsourcing solution itself is rather mature. The vCISO solution has been touted as an innovative way to help close the cybersecurity talent gap for organizations, but it's important to know that not all vCISO programs are created equal.


Join SBS as we discuss why the vCISO is on the rise and discover the pros and cons of considering this model for your organization in the future.
