AITP Chicago
You’re Invited to an informational Virtual Meeting. (See Registration link below)
TOPIC: Creating Common Sense: Communicating Assumptions, Constraints, Risks and Issues
This discussion will focus on the importance of distinguishing assumptions, constraints, risks and issues and provide the stakeholder management strategies associated with each condition. Many organizations collapse or confuse the four terms, and thus have a difficult time effectively managing the required responses. More mature organizations are beginning to see the value of effectively managing the definition and communication of project assumptions, constraints, risks and issues across similar projects, and are undertaking efforts to invest the time and personnel to identify common assumptions and proactively respond to those systemic risks critical to the success of the organization’s projects. Other organizations, however, continue to expend little effort within their project’s initiation and planning phases in identifying and communicating assumptions and constraints, leaving their project teams in a reactive, fire-fighting mode of managing projects when issues arise in the execution phase. These organizations often have to accept deliverables which don’t meet the performance objectives, in a project already late and over budget.

Topic: Layered Cyber Resilience
Cancelled - Due to Change in Speaker's Schedule
With the world moving to the next generation of Digital usage through emerging areas like 5G, Internet of Things and the Metaverse Phenomenon, information flow and information usage is exponentially increasing. With that, attacks on the same areas and information are becoming more direct and dense.
This session is about how Cyber Security can help individuals as well as organizations remain most secured and shielded against these Cyber-attacks.
We will get to know the basics as well as advancements leveraged by mature organizations and how it helps them keep their ecosystem defended through layered cyber resilience, while lesser mature organizations struggle in this aspect and are more prone to get impacted by Cyber-attacks - especially in areas like Hybrid Cloud Security, Identity & Access Management and Zero Trust.
NIST (National Institute of Standards & Technology) serves as one of the best foundation frameworks to structure Cyber Organization Units, and the session will map NIST categories with practical aspects of current and probable market adoption of Cyber Security techniques and technologies.
Topic: The Urgency to Treat Cybersecurity as a Business Decision
Cybersecurity is not just the worry of CISOs or cybersecurity leaders of a company. Board level and C-Suite executives care profoundly but, in most cases, don’t understand their organization’s Cyber Risk Program. As the lines blur between business models and the technology that supports them, CISOs need to consider the risks, security priorities, and investments that impact their business outcomes and be able to communicate those considerations in concrete and non-technical terms to critical stakeholders. This webinar will give insight into how today’s CISO can better do this.
