A Cybersecurity Incident To Materiality Tabletop

DDN Senior Faculty and experts have created and taught the only masterclass and tabletop for determining cybersecurity incident materiality under the new SEC disclosure rules. They have created the BLAST RADIUS—FALLOUT (BRFO) process to reflect an informed and deliberative process for making this determination. This hands-on tabletop is for disclosure committees, CISOs, CFOs, CEOs and other executives to work through the mechanics and nuances of this new requirement. A disclosable process in and of itself under new Form 10-K rules, this class will strengthen understanding and reduce litigation and real levels of cybersecurity risk.
