Instructor: Ben Calloni, Lockheed Martin
Outline: The need for Cybersecurity across the globe has increased significantly in the past few years. In response to that need, the National Institute Standards and Technology (NIST) agency in partnership with other US Government agencies create a new series of directives addressing the need to properly secure Information Technology systems. Success of a company’s IT department depends on upper level business leaders understanding the need to provide proper funding support to manage Cyber risk of company intellectual property and privacy data. This presentation will provide the audience with a basic understanding of Cybersecurity principles.
