Deep Dive into the CISM Certification
by Ilene Kein, CISSP, CISM, CIPP/US, Cybersecurity Program Coordinator Urban Area Security Initiative City of Phoenix Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Management
Bio:
For over 20 years, Ilene Klein has been evangelizing security to anybody who would listen … and to management. During this time, she built and led compliance, governance, incident response, privacy, policy, security awareness, threat intelligence, and vulnerability management programs and frameworks. Ilene started her career as an electronics instructor and then traveled from Honolulu to Heidelberg as a systems engineer installing proprietary software for the U.S. Army and resolving system crashes before focusing on cybersecurity. Ilene has earned multiple security and privacy certifications, and she’s won awards such as the CISM Geographic Excellence Award for earning the highest score in the North America geographical region on the December 2011 CISM examination and a 2018 Warrior Award for fighting on the “front lines” of cybersecurity.
Topic:
Congratulations — You’re in cybersecurity, one of the best and most in-demand careers. But there’s an entire alphabet soup full of cyber-related certifications out there. During this presentation we’ll discuss the CISM certification, including what it is, how it differs from the CISSP, who might be interested in earning a CISM, the domains covered, and whether it’s worth it.
[8:00-8:45 PM]

Topic:
Anatomy of an Incident Response Event An Incident Response (IR) Plan is where tools, skills and process all come together in a high pressure, time-critical environment. Advance planning and experience are critical to a successful outcome. Niko will walk through a real-world Incident Response event and highlight at each key stage in the process where specific tools, people and skills and the structured response plan came into play and the how deficiencies at any point can hobble the organization. Attendees will be able to overlay this presentation onto their own organizations capabilities and identify where they may have shortcomings in their own IR Plan.
