The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) recently released a guide that consolidates relevant software assurance guidance and frameworks into a single document and enables stakeholders to navigate through these requirements in a clear, concise manner. The Software Acquisition Guide focuses on the ‘#SecurebyDemand’ elements by providing recommendations for agency personnel, including mission owners and contracting staff or requirements office to engage in more relevant discussions with risk owners and candidate suppliers that can be made associated with acquisition and procurement of #software and cyber-physical products. https://lnkd.in/gsEaSGfX

Webinar tomorrow -- last chance to register! Don't miss out on the chance to gain valuable insight from Conversant Founder/CSO & Cybersecurity Expert John Anthony Smith tomorrow, June 18th at 1 PM EST. Get ready for eye-opening revelations! 👀💡 Register here: https://okt.to/gpchBs What you use for backups significantly impacts recoverability. Recovering data from disc, the cloud, or tape presents additional challenges. A large energy client had 7000 machines to recover, and while they DID have a backup – it was all ON TAPE, creating significant delays. That client had a business interruption burn rate of nearly 10m/day…so the time – and cost – of having to recover from tape was much higher than it needed to be. Interested in learning more? Join our webinar to find out how to avoid such risks. 🖥️ #CyberSecurity #Backups #WebinarSignUp

🌟 Join Us for an Exciting SheLeadsTech Webinar! 🌟 📅 Date: July 12 🕛 Time: Noon CST 🎓 CPE Offered: 1 CPE 💻 Zoom Registration- https://lnkd.in/gicPrEcd Topic: Cyber & Operational Resilience – A Holistic Approach to Protecting Organizations’ Revenue, Reputation, and Brand Synopsis: Understanding which functions cannot lapse for an extended period without having an adverse impact on an organization’s brand, reputation, revenue, legal and regulatory requirements, and people safety is critical. Through a Business Impact Analysis (BIA), organizations identify which functions are critical and the resources they need to operate – people, technology, third parties, and locations. Once the critical functions are identified, the organization develops strategies for continuing them in the absence of key resources, which are documented in Business Continuity Plans (BCPs). To ensure the viability of the strategies, the organization conducts exercises, scenario-based discussions that prompt participants to talk through how they would manage a cyber-attack or other adverse event leveraging the strategies documented in the BCP. The SheLeadsTech Discussion Will Focus On: - Establishing holistic and robust Cyber & Operational Resilience programs quickly and efficiently - Validating these programs through tests, training, and exercises Speaker: Tamara Long Nolan, CBCP, Sr. Director at MorganFranklin Consulting, leads the firm’s Cyber & Operational Resilience (CORe) business. With over 25 years of professional experience, Tamara leads teams in delivering cyber and operational resilience, business continuity, technology recovery, and crisis management services, designed to protect organizations’ brand, reputation, and revenue.

Attention security vendors! 🔐 VITA has published a request for proposals (RFP) for enterprise Managed Security Services (MSS) on eVA, Virginia’s e-procurement portal. Interested security vendors should submit their proposals before the RFP closes on July 15.    The MSS RFP presents a strategy shift in how future MSS will be delivered. Supplier(s) will be responsible for providing enterprise MSS for two service categories, including security operations center (SOC), and/or security engineering (SEC-ENG).    VITA may award one or more awards as a result of this sourcing effort, which could result in different suppliers providing SOC and SEC-ENG services. Supplier(s) will be required to integrate into VITA’s multisourcing service integrator model and provide security services that are flexible, rapidly provisioned, cost effective, transparent and elastic to meet the current and future needs of VITA and customer agencies. Learn more about the RFP here: https://lnkd.in/eW-w4dTU #Virginia #RequestForProposals #CyberSecurity #RFP #eVA
