Topic: “Standards are good, but why do we need so many in cybersecurity?”

Anyone who has had to manage a cybersecurity program has found themselves inundated with standards, frameworks, and requirements. Some of the popular cyber standards include SOC2, SOC3, FedRAMP, FISMA, CMMC, HIPAA, HITRUST, NERC CIP, PCI, SOX, FFIEC, ATT&CK, D3FEND, ISO 27001, NIST CSF, and CIS-18. It’s an alphabet soup! In this presentation, Chris Williams will share with you what these frameworks are, where they came from, what they do best, and how you can use them to help manage a kick-butt cybersecurity program for your organization.
