Feel free to pass along the following opportunity . I was given permission to forward this on outside of Kansas. I think they are hoping to get at least another individual or two to sign up. Questions, please contact Melinda Stanley mstanley () kanren net 785-856-9813 . ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Is your institution prepared to respond to a cyber incident? October is Cybersecurity Awareness month--and as the state's Research & Education Network, KanREN is dedicated to serving KS Education institutions. Our intent in reaching out is to ensure you are aware of our organization, our work with Kansas Education institutions AND our efforts to help KS institutions improve cyber awareness and institutional preparedness to defend against the increasing complex threats outside our doors. Join us to find out if your institution is prepared to respond to cyber threats and what the risks are for your institutions by attending a day-long Cybersecurity Policy workshop on Nov 15. This day-long leadership workshop and interactive discussion will focus on Cybersecurity and IT governance and how your institution can be better prepared led by Jason Brown, Chief Information Security Officer with our Michigan counterpart, Merit Network. Leveraging the NIST Cybersecurity Framework and its 5 functional areas, leaders will discover how all members of an organization play key roles in the development of Cybersecurity policies, standards, and procedures. Participants of this workshop will also learn: ● How an organization can implement security frameworks to their business and IT workflows ● Evaluate and control organizational risk ● Discuss differences between policies, standards, procedures, and guidelines ● Review of policy structure and templates ● Policy development exercise ● Required policies for regulatory and compliance requiremen Participants are encouraged to bring their Cybersecurity Policy documents along with them!

Keeping an eye on where cyberattack planes are headed and how things are changing is a natural part of the mix, which is why partnerships among the research and education community—higher education institutions, the Department of Homeland Security, NIST, NICE, and law enforcement are invaluable to their work.
