August 2015

Over the past few months, we have been working with the Chang School at Ryerson to develop a one day seminar on cyber security. The goal is to get more executives and board members comfortable talking about security and ensuring they have strong security strategies regardless of sector. The staff at Ryerson have been great at supporting our ideas and concepts and are helping this course become a reality. From an educational perspective, these are the key aspects that will be discuss during the session:

  1. Principles of a Cyber Security Strategy
  2. A Case Study
  3. Implementing a Risk Management Process
  4. Preparing for a Breach including a drafting a Breach and Cyber Security Playbook

There will be lots of open discussions and examples on these topics and you can pick my brain on these issues specific to your company or sector. I am looking forward to spending the day exchanging, learning and sharing. Bring your questions and problems and I hope to see you on Sept.24th. More details to the course and registration are located here http://ow.ly/QeiK2.

Starting next week Canada will be hosting the 3rd meeting of the WG 10 IoT in Ottawa.

These meeting are building towards the completion of ISO 30141 A Reference Architecture for IoT. We have many of the biggest companies, consortiums, special interest groups all in attendance. While, I am attending as an expert my focus is on the security and privacy elements of IoT. Over the summer,  I lead a SRG to develop the draft content for a Conceptual Reference Model (CRM) for this standard. While it is still a work in progress we are making significant strides on a base model.

I will provide more details next week once we begin our sessions and some details on what the major themes are.
