Best risk management practices to enable a strong Cyber Resilience

We have the great pleasure to invite you to our next seminar organized by ISACA in collaboration with GRB and with the support of ACTAGIS : 

Data protection: How to meet regulatory obligations (GDPR / new FADP)? (in French)

In the era of Big Data, a new Eldorado for many companies, and in the face of increasing cyber-attacks, the pressure for increased protection of personal data is growing. While Europe has already strengthened its regulatory framework with the introduction of the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation), Switzerland is in the process of updating the FAPD (Federal Act on Data Protection) to align with the European standard, with the new law expected to come into force in the second half of 2022.

What actions are required to comply? What are the points of attention not to be neglected to set up and maintain its processes and controls in terms of data processing? What are the penalties?

To discuss this topic and share his experience in the implementation of the GDPR we are pleased to welcome:

Monsieur Eldo Mabiala
Head of security and Logistic
Banque Syz SA

on November 25, from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m.

Given the pandemic situation, the seminar will be organized as an interactive video-conference.

In order to allow us to organize the session in the best conditions, we would be grateful if you could confirm your participation in this session also valid for your continuing education statements, by registering online until November 19th. After your registration, you will also receive a confirmation by email containing additional information on the logistics of the video conference.

We strongly encourage you to ask your questions when you register, so that our speaker can take them into account in his or her presentation.

We look forward to having you with us!

BCI World Virtual 2021 really is an event not to be missed!

Faced with increasingly frequent and complex crises, decision-makers have gradually become aware of the need to be prepared for crises. Whether the crisis originates from events outside the company or is due to internal problems, managing a crisis is never a foregone conclusion, both strategically and on a human level.

During the presentation, we will see how the use of a crisis management methodology allows us to adopt a proactive rather than reactive approach, so that panic does not take precedence over rapid and judicious decision making.
The event is intended to be participatory and interactive, so that participants can learn from a collective experience. Together, we will go through the different stages of crisis management, in a scenario inspired by real events.

This conference will be hosted by

Claire Matias
Expert in information security at the State of Geneva

and will take place
on 23rd September 2021 from 18:30 to 20:00.

Given the pandemic situation, the seminar will be organized as an interactive video-conference.

About this webinar

Boosted by accelerated global exchanges and empowered with the pandemic, cyber-threats are spreading rapidly, with large scale worldwide effects. In such a context, organizations should be prepared to cope with the major disruptions to the information systems caused by cyber-attacks. Failure to activate prepared solutions for such scenarios, which can harm the delivery of the products and services, can have major consequences for the enterprises’ survival.

Therefore, more than ever, the convergence of Information Security, Business Continuity is becoming a MUST to implement, in order to reduce financial, operational, legal and reputational impacts of cyber-threats.

One key to a successful realization of converged governance is to apply well-established frameworks and certifications such as BCI-GPG & SABSA.

In this webinar, we will briefly introduce a pragmatic approach and describe the first steps to enable the convergence between the two frameworks.

We have the great pleasure to invite you to our next seminar organized by ISACA in collaboration with GRB and with the support of ACTAGIS:

” MEASURING CYBER MATURITY AND CLOSING THE GAPS “.

News about new Cyber-Attacks reach us almost every day, but in this context, the Boards of Directors and the CEOs are unsure about the preparedness of their companies. Measuring the Cyber-Maturity, setting a Maturity Objective, defining a Cyber Strategy on how to reach the Goal and setting up a Cybersecurity Program to implement the necessary controls are proven approaches to close the Gaps.

During the seminar, while explaining the general approach, the presenter is also going to share his experience with various tools: The CMMI Cyber-Maturity Platform, the NIST Cyber Security Framework / FONES ICT Minimum Standard and the MSS Secure Blueprint.

The presentation, which will be given in English, will be enriched with the lessons learnt via the yearly measurements of the Cyber Maturity during the implementation of the Cyber-Security Program at BKW over the past years.

This conference will be hosted by

Ivo Maritz, Engineer ETHZ/IEEE
Executive Consultant, Cyber Security
Former CIO and CSO/CISO at BKW, VP IT Infrastructure in global Pharmaceutical and Machinery Corporations, CTO and COO in a Swiss Telecommunications Company

and will take place
on November 24, 2020 from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m.

Given the pandemic situation, the seminar will be organized as an interactive video-conference.

In order to allow us to organize the session in the best conditions, we would be grateful if you could confirm your participation in this session, also valid for your continuing education statements, by registering online www.grb-romand.ch until November 17th. After your registration, you will also receive a confirmation by email containing additional information on the logistics of the video conference.

We look forward to having you with us!
Your ISACA & GRB committees

The days when our servers were all still in a datacenter to which we had the key are long gone. Just as information is becoming dematerialized, IT infrastructures and applications are following the same path, becoming nothing more than commodities and services. Between agility and security, the Cloud is forcing us to review our security certainties and principles. During the presentation, we will explore the new threats related to the cloud and the answers we can provide.

This conference in French will be hosted by:

Magin Lopez – Information and Cybersecurity Senior Manager at International Olympic Committee

Given the pandemic situation, the seminar will be organized as an interactive videoconference.

As usual, the event is free of charge for ISACA and ISMA members and paying (20.- CHF) for non-members.
