    Abstract: This session is the first in a three-part series designed to help professionals build a comprehensive cybersecurity strategy. In this foundational session, we will focus on understanding the current threat and risk landscape—a critical first step before implementing security controls or resilience measures. Future sessions will cover how to implement a security program (Part 2) and develop cyber resilience strategies (Part 3). What You’ll Learn in Part 1: To defend effectively, you must first understand what you're up against. This session will dive into the latest data and expert insights to help participants assess and contextualize today’s threats. Session Topics: 1.1 2024 Security Reports Deep dive into findings from the ISACA State of Cybersecurity, SANS Threat Landscape, and other major industry sources to understand top concerns for security leaders. 1.2 Security Trends from Industry Leaders Explore what the latest Gartner and IBM reports reveal about threat actor tactics, rising attack surfaces, and shifting organizational priorities. 1.3 The Role of Artificial Intelligence Understand how AI is reshaping both offensive and defensive cybersecurity tactics—impacting everything from phishing to automated detection. This session will help participants gain a current, data-informed understanding of the threat landscape and set the stage for building a risk-aware, adaptable cybersecurity program.

    What Business Continuity Planners Need to Know About Enterprise Risk Management


    Join us for an insightful presentation by Mark Carroll, founder of Boston University's Enterprise Risk Management Master's Program, as he examines the key facets of resilience, risk and recovery, in the pursuit and protection of valueThe BCP realm is or should be framed in context by the overall approach to risk management in the preservation of value.  A solid ERM program affects both the probability of a crisis materializing and the degree or pain level of that crisis.  Assessing risk as a series of silos is shortsighted and a thing of the past.  What is needed is a holistic, top-down approach.  Resilience, the magic word of the day, is more than BCP in 2025; it needs to be a step-function change that is cross-functional and encompasses strategy and planning as well as execution. 


     Mark Carroll is a founder of the Boston University graduate program in Business Continuity and Risk Management with over 20 years of college instruction, primarily at the graduate level. He has over 35 years of industry experience in risk management, business continuity and information technology; having led global corporate programs in Business Continuity at major corporations such as BIOGEN, Procter&Gamble/Gillette, and Fidelity Investments. He is also the former head of Worldwide IT Audit at Gillette.

     

    Mark has an MBA in Finance from Babson College and undergraduate degrees in Economics and Political Science from Boston College with a concentration in Information Systems. He is certified in Business Continuity (FBCI and MBCP), Project Management (PMP), IT Security (CISSP), IT Audit (CISA), IT Governance (CGEIT), Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRCP and GRCA), Risk and Insurance Management (RIMS-CRMP), and Production and Inventory Management (CPIM) as well as being a Claritas CFA certificate holder. He is a member of the Editorial Advisory Board (EAB) of Continuity Insights and a former board member in ACP Boston.

     MIT Crisis Management & Business Resiliency Course


    Preparing for a crisis is not a luxury; it is a necessity. The COVID-19 pandemic has proven this. You know the odds are high that your company will suffer, or has experienced, a disaster or crisis. You cannot say you weren't ready; today's extreme public and government scrutiny demand that you should have been prepared. MIT's Crisis Management & Business Resiliency course will help prepare you for the inevitable.

    This comprehensive program provides important knowledge, up-to-date assessments, and several case studies on issues that affect you and your organization — regulations and standards, response strategies, cyber security, supply chain, crisis leadership, artificial intelligence, communications, news media, social media, federal/state/local government response, drills and exercises — from the experts involved with these efforts. We also examine strategies for program, position, and career improvement. You will have the opportunity to interact with our lecturers and with your peers from industry, academia, and government.

    Participants also practice what is learned - the course includes:
    •    A ransomware tabletop exercise
    •    A highly interactive crisis simulation in which participants take active response roles in a multiple-event crisis, including a realistic news media briefing.

    By the end of the course, you will have the tools, knowledge, and understanding to benchmark, assess, and improve your business resiliency, cybersecurity, and crisis management programs. This includes the course manual (e-files), templates, and current articles. You will gain valuable contacts, have plenty of networking opportunities during and after class, and acquire insights/skills/knowledge for immediate implementation.
