The session will aim to equip you with practical and actionable steps to get ready for a crisis in the cybersecurity field. We’ll start with looking at an example where practical cybersecurity and (cyber-)security education come together to create an innovative security education service. We’ll continue by sharing insights in developing a method for Cyber Risk Assessment, enhancing risk assessment capabilities within the research and education ecosystem. We will also explore key Marketing and Communications strategies for managing crises such as network outages and cybersecurity incidents, helping to mitigate reputational damage and foster resilience resilience in today’s challenging digital landscape.

Method for Cyber Risk Assessment, developing risk assessment capabilities in NRENs

Although there are security services, guided by well-established policies and procedures; Risks is a hard process to implement and use. In view of this, the RNP created a project to standardize the way cybersecurity risks are assessed and improving the cyber protection is provided for corporate system components and for the research and education environment. This proposal aims to share the methodology developed, with the improvements made based on validations in the form of pilots, so that the research and teaching community can take the risk vision to the leadership, and then implement it.
