Vincent van Dijk and Yuri Bobbert have explored approaches particularly relevant for smaller organizations, which may not have the resources to implement extensive frameworks or hire full-time “officers”.
Yuri will set the stage for this discussion by reflecting on 15 years of research focused on improving cybersecurity maturity. This background will clarify the rationale behind this research.
Vincent has conducted academic research on pragmatic approaches for medium-sized organizations. He has developed a creative strategy for addressing the primary cyber risks faced by these companies. In his presentation, he will outline “what” his main contribution is, “how” practitioners can apply this approach, and “who” stands to benefit most from it.
Vincent will also discuss “when” this approach is appropriate and the essential considerations that experts should consider when working with relatively smaller organizations.
By the end of this session, you will gain new insights and perspectives to enhance your cybersecurity practices effectively.
