WHO IT'S FOR

The DDN 601 masterclass and workshop is for CISO's, CIO's, corporate directors, executive teams and disclosure committees of U.S. public companies who want to understand how to adopt and apply the new SEC cybersecurity incident disclosure rules. 

If you are attending DOMINO 24 on May 15-16, this masterclass will also be taught during one of the deep dive learning classes. 

The final SEC rules require a description of the registrant's "processes, if any, for assessing, identifying, and managing material risks from cybersecurity threats in sufficient detail for a reasonable investor to understand those process."

DDN 601 teaches that process, including how to fulfill that disclosure requirement.  

WORKSHOP OVERVIEW

DDN 601 is taught live online and is a 2-hour executive learning experience with expert lectures, peer discussion and applied group case studies. DDN 601 participants will receive 3 hours of learning time including their pre-reading. 

This online class is taught live on ZOOM under Chatham House Rules. It is not recorded. This cohort is being held on:

April 4 (9 AM - 11 AM Pacific Time)

The DDN 601 class is a business school-caliber learning experience taught by leading experts, advisors, CISO practitioners and corporate directors in cybersecurity governance.

Participants will be taught the BRFOTM process for cybersecurity incident materiality determination. Based upon systemic BLAST RADIUS analysis and FALLOUT implications, BRFOTM provides SEC registrants with a structured approach for making a cybersecurity incident materiality disclosure determination in response to the new SEC rules.

Participants will receive a course Certificate of Completion to document their learning experience. 

Private workshops can be arranged upon request for a full disclosure committee, corporate board and management team.
