Hi Everyone, Please feel free to join our next MCTI seminar on Breach Management and Meet the Director of Cybersecurity from Payments Cananda. Please see seminar abstract below: Title: Cybersecurity Breach Management - Cool as a Cucumber in a Bowl of Hot Sauce Abstract: Cybersecurity Breach Management is not for the faint of heart. As an incident manager, you can go from the person no one thinks of to the focal point of your entire organization in the blink of an eye. You transition from routine security monitoring to having to distill information from a myriad of sources in real time in order to protect your organizations assets and information, all while feeding the insatiable appetite for updates and situational awareness from senior and executive leadership. How do you prepare for this? How do you ensure your team is prepared for this? Tune in and find out! -----Original Appointment----- From: An Nguyen Sent: Monday, November 22, 2021 7:55 AM To: An Nguyen; MCTI-Students-2021(a)socs.uoguelph.ca<mailto:MCTI-Students-2021@socs.uoguelph.ca>; behrouz(a)cybersciencelab.org<mailto:behrouz@cybersciencelab.org>; Ali Dehghantanha; Khalid Saeed; Sameer Bhandari; Matthew Charette Cc: Caroline Hillier; Ryan Stamp; Saeed Ahmadi; Guangyi Zhu; Kaiyang Lin; Ian Richards; Tayzoon Ismail; Helen Osugo; Pierce Saly Subject: UPDATE: CIS6590 - Prof Seminar - Cybersecurity Breach Management by Matthew Charette (Director, Cybersecurity fr Payments Canada) When: Friday, March 25, 2022 1:30 PM-3:00 PM (UTC-05:00) Eastern Time (US & Canada).
