Agenda

Tuesday, March 13

12:15 p.m. – 1:00 p.m.

LUNCH

1:00 p.m. – 1:30 p.m.

Cyber Risk Management in the Real World
The workshop kicks off with a mix of tabletop discussions and case studies to highlight current cybersecurity issues for rural service providers. Through conversations with your peers you will begin to identify gaps in your company’s knowledge and preparation.

1:30 p.m. – 2:00 p.m.

Principles of Risk Management
There is no single prescriptive checklist to comprehensively address cybersecurity. A risk-management approach is the best way to deal with such a multi-faceted and dynamic challenge. Learn about how everyone within the telco plays a role in mitigating cyber risk and see how the NIST Cybersecurity Framework is a valuable tool to provide structure and governance for your efforts.

2:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m.

Executive Perspectives on the NIST Framework
From your initial risk-management discussions to prioritizing your security needs and budgeting your corresponding resources efficiently and effectively, NTCA has resources and tips to share. Learn best practices from NTCA members who have successfully used the NIST Framework to improve their security postures.

3:00 p.m. – 3:30 p.m.

Preview of the NTCA Cybersecurity Bundle for Executive Leaders
NTCA will provide a preview of the updated NTCA Cybersecurity Bundle, which provides how-to guidance and resources your company can use to adopt a cyber risk-management approach.

3:30 p.m. – 3:40 p.m.

BREAK

3:40 p.m. – 4:25 p.m.

Fundamentals of Response and Recovery
When faced with a cyber incident, do you know how your company will respond? This session is an in-depth discussion of what it takes to develop, implement, test and revise a cyber incident response plan. From the roles and responsibilities of team members to storage and usage of the plan itself, learn what it takes to move from abstract discussion to an executable document.

4:25 p.m. – 5:00 p.m.

Evaluating Cyber Insurance Policies
A vital component of your cyber risk management plan is an insurance policy. It is impossible to mitigate all cyber risks, so companies should look to transfer residual risk to a third-party. But how can you be sure the coverage you purchase is really providing the protection you need? Hear about the key factors in evaluating cyber insurance policies and what to expect from the underwriting process.
