Event Details
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 strongly encourage you to ask your questions when you register, so that our speaker can take them into account in his or her presentation.
As usual, the event is free of charge for ISACA and GRB members and paying (20.- CHF) for non-members.
We look forward to having you with us!

Event Details
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.

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.

Event Details
All media are of the opinion that the Blockchain will revolutionize the production process of many industries. But what about the audit sector? What will be the important changes that will need to be anticipated to better prepare for the future?
In order to take stock of this subject, we are pleased to invite you to our next exceptional working session organized by ISACA and GRB, whose theme will be: “Blockchain and the consequences for the audit industry”
This session, which will take place in English, will bring you a new vision on the future of blockchain and will be animated by:
Mike Gault
CEO and Founder of Guardtime
Quantum Computing Engineer
Post doctoral student of the Tokyo Institute of Technology
The presentation will focus on the context in which the Estonian government has come to realize the critical importance not only of the integrity of data but also the integrity of processes, systems and networks. He will then present the blockchain cryptographic basics and describe how the Estonian government and financial institutions are using this technology for cybersecurity and financial audits, infrastructure and internal processes.

CONTINUITY OF ACTIVITIES NEEDS SECURITY ARCHITECTURE TO REDUCE RISKS AND COSTS
The frequency of cyber attacks continues to grow at an unprecedented rate. By targeting the most vulnerable value chains of organizations, they cause breaches of confidentiality and integrity of information, discontinuities of activities and considerable damage. On the other hand, once considered primarily a purely technological problem, information system risks are now assessed in the context of business risk management and business continuity.
This session will bring you a new vision allowing the optimal cohabitation of cybersecurity with business continuity.

Event Details
Business continuity requires security architecture to reduce risk and cost
The frequency of cyber-attacks continues to increase at an unparalleled pace. By attacking the most vulnerable value chains of organizations, they result in information confidentiality and integrity breaches, discontinuity of business activities and huge damages.
Once considered predominantly as a technological issue, the risks related to the information systems are now evaluated within the Enterprise Risk Management scope. On the other hand, traditionally, Business Continuity Management (BCM) is mostly treated as a domain, separated from Information System Security Management (ISSM).
With the rapid explosion of cyber threats, the alignment between BCM and ISSM is now becoming a must for providing management with a holistic view and enabling them to be implemented in organizations where the teams interact closely with each other. It goes without saying that the organizational part of security and BCM is the key for a successful implementation, yet the information system (IS) part needs also to be addressed in an efficient way.
Various standards and frameworks exist to help organizations implementing a BCM, but they lack a strong link with the governance, architecture and security of the IS. In this session, we will introduce very briefly an innovative approach and describe the first steps for the linkage between the two worlds, enabling an efficient implementation of BC based on architecture and secured IS.

Event Details
The successful deployment of an Information Security Management System (ISMS) requires the implementation of risk analysis supported by a methodological and repeatable approach. In this context, a large number of organizations suffer from complex and tedious implementation.
Based on these observations, we propose a review of the implementation of the principles set out in ISO 27005 and ISO 27001, allowing you a pragmatic implementation based on best practices.

Event Details
Data theft of 800’000 Swisscom customers : What are the risks that they do not disclose?
Switzerland is not spared, and this type of theft does not only happen to others. It is important to remember that the number of cases of data piracy continues to increase and that the Swisscom case represents only a modest event compared to the billions of personal data compromised via the accounts of Yahoo, MySpace, Ebay , LinkedIn, Dropbox.
As a customer or user, should we worry, since the data stolen from Swisscom is not considered sensitive? The answer is unfortunately yes, since the stolen phone numbers and names are now most likely accessible on the darknet. They attract the greed of a multitude of malicious actors who are willing to exploit them for illicit purposes .
