Join @theKanREN for our quarterly CyberSecurity Threat briefing with Dr. Joe Adams, the Vice President of Research & Cyber Security at Michigan’s Merit Network, as we explore ways to understand vulnerabilities and manage risk from an IT perspective. Dr. Adams will share insights on risks associated with Information Technology and how organizations of all types can get started with the National Institutes of Standards and Technology’s (NIST) risk management framework. Suited for all types of organizations, this framework can inform your efforts to identify and address risks, provide guidance on the development of risk policies and standards, and ways to mitigate areas of weakness related to IT systems and services.
