Identify, Plan, Protect: Using Cyber to Your Advantage

On April 19,2017, The Risk Institute at The Ohio State University, Fisher School of Business will be presenting as part of its 2017 Executive Education series, the topic “identify, Plan Protect: Using Cyber to your Advantage”.

As we see, almost on a daily basis, Cyber Risk and Crime have become part of our lives. During the first few weeks of 2017, we have seen a large restaurant chain’s register payment systems impacted and a large business services firm’s marketing database with over 33 million corporate contacts shared across the web. Without difficulty, multiple other examples are found that cross any number of industries.

We are fortunate to have Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine introduce the topic to our audience. AG DeWine is passionate about Cyber Crime and Cyber Risk and its impact on the citizens of Ohio.

The session will look to raise conversation on the obvious current situation with regard to Cyber Risk and Crime, and will consider risk mitigants that businesses can take. The speed at which crisis communication and Public Relations plans are treated and managed are certainly at the forefront of dealing with Cyber challenges within business. So much so, that the phrase “Fiasco Vortex” has been coined (see Glass Jaw by Eric Dezenhall). In the 21st Century, communication never sleeps. We live in a 24/7 news cycle that demands a much different treatment to Cyber Risk and Cyber business continuity planning.

An organization’s business continuity plans will need to be tested to respond to geographic specific exposure that could have a wider impact upon the business and it customers. Our speakers will highlight, from their diverse experience and background, how companies can take a proactive approach.

Session leaders, Helen Patton CISO, The Ohio State University; Jim Trainor SVP Aon Cyber Solutions and former FBI head of the FBI Cyber Division, Washington, DC; David White CIO Battelle Memorial Institute; and David Lyon, Senior Manager Crumpton Group, LLC will collaborate to provide insight into:

  • Cyber a View from the CISO Trench
  • Cyber Threat Landscape 2017 and Beyond
  • Cyber Security’s Impact on IT Operations
  • The Role of Intelligence in Cyber Attacks: Offense vs. Defense

The session will emphasize how to proactively use risk management to balance the risks related to Cyber Risk in order to meet business goals and enhance business performance.

The session will provide thought provoking ideas advancing The Risk Institute’s unique role in uniting industry thought leaders, academics and highly respected practitioners in an ongoing dialog to advance the understanding and evolution of risk management. The Risk Institute’s conversation about risk management is open and collaborative with its relevance across all industries and its potential for competitiveness and growth.
