September President's Message
Greetings!
 
I hope you had a wonderful and safe summer.  As usual, we took the summer off from our normal chapter meetings.  There is a great CPE opportunity provided to us by the Phoenix ISSA Chapter on The Language of Risk, to be held September 30th - the event is free using the ISSA discount code, for more details, please see below.
 
We continue to strive to find high quality, professional subject matter experts that add tremendous value to our bi-monthly chapter meetings.  This month, we had some scheduling difficulties with our original speakers and decided to change our meeting to support the Language of Risk seminar.  We will hold our next bi-monthly meeting on October 28th at our normal location.
 
Regards,
 
Adam Remis, CPA, CISA, MISM

Risk management is the cornerstone of the controls selection process and provides the foundation for our security program decision making. A sound enterprise risk management program includes a systematic process to identify, assess and mitigate risks through policy, process and technology. Risk, when articulated properly, serves as a common language for business stakeholders, auditors, and security practitioners and can help in creating a holistic approach across these various disciplines.

Join us for this interactive session as we explore choosing a risk assessment method to fit your organizational size and culture, as well as key methods for communicating and mitigating risk effectively. We will discuss how to manage risks associated with internal operations, as well as vendors and business partners, incorporating the entire business ecosystem into the program effectively.
SecurePhoenix is designed to allow knowledge sharing among the participants. It features discussion topics at both the management and technical level and draws upon pragmatic solutions from the community.
