GRF Business Resilience Council members are invited to join this meeting to provide input in the development of a new exercise to test the operational resilience of sectors as they disburse and collect payments. This meeting will explore the impacts to businesses in the event that an attack were to disrupt the payment systems tools and processes.

Your input is vital to building an exercise that will ultimately help protect your organizations’ ability to maintain minimal viable service levels for accounts payable and accounts receivable systems during a major attack against the banking system.

Members will be emailed the link to participate, the link will also be published to your community portals.

Partners and interested non-members can contact Chris Denning for more information on participating: cdenning@grf.org

Join the K12 Security Information eXchange (K12 SIX) and Microsoft for an informational webinar focused on cybersecurity preparations for the new school year.

K-12 school systems face increased challenges in maintaining safe & operational IT environments during the back-to-school season. As a result of evolving cyber-threats and ransomware attacks, schools disproportionately experience disruptions to school operations during this time frame, leading to significant financial losses and sensitive data exposure. Given that cybercriminals often exploit school vulnerabilities using stealthy techniques that are difficult to detect and correlate with limited staff, legacy security tools and siloed solutions may exacerbate problems, resulting in limited visibility and delayed response times.

Join K12 SIX Director Doug Levin and Corey Lee, Microsoft Chief Zero Trust Architect for the first in a series of two webinars to prepare for back-to-school and learn how to:

Enhance back-to-school cyber readiness

Leverage AI insights to uncover common cyber risks

Explore easy-button automations for responding quickly to cyber threats

The GRF Business Resilience Council is proud to announce it will deliver the first in a series of virtual tabletop exercises with Promontory, a business unit of IBM Consulting. The exercise will address supply chain security and business continuity.

As events in Ukraine have demonstrated, regional conflicts can have global impact. If an incident, or full-scale conflict can change the way we do business, we need to be prepared. The initial exercise will focus on geopolitical risk arising in Asia that could create widespread supply chain impacts across many sectors.

The exercise scenario will help an organization evaluate its ability to respond to hypothetical disruptions using real-world injects borrowed from past crises and projected injects from plausible threats to come. The exercise will help organizations enhance resilience, crisis management response, roles, and responsibilities.

Join Jonathan Dambrot, CEO of Cranium, Andrew Moyad, CEO of Shared Assessments, and Mark Orsi, CEO of Global Resilience Federation (GRF) for a complimentary webinar on the threats and opportunities that come with increasing access to AI.

AI is emerging at every level of business use and, increasingly, among consumers. This rise brings its own set of challenges. As we’ve seen with other technology shifts, security and trust are often overlooked in early stages, making it harder, less efficient, and more expensive to add in later. With significant operational and security challenges that must be addressed, let’s examine the latest AI pipelines and what businesses (and individual users) should be aware of as they incorporate these tools.

GRF Business Resilience Council analysts will also provide a geopolitical security update following the presentation on AI.

The GRF Business Resilience Council invites you to join a briefing with Art Ocain, VP of Cybersecurity & Incident Response at Airiam. Art will speak on the topic of “accidental resiliency” and how businesses of all sizes have evolved out of necessity. Art will discuss how companies which have faced threats have often aligned themselves with cyber resilience frameworks, used cyber resilience techniques and addressed cyber resilience design objectives without knowing frameworks even existed.  Handling cyber incident after cyber incident, learning to reactively follow good incident response processes, it is natural for defenders to want to shift the process “left of boom” and develop more proactive cyber resilience.

The call will also feature a discussion by GRF analysts on geopolitical and cyber threats relevant to business resilience, and an upcoming exercise with IBM Promontory on supply chain threats.
