The Cyber Resilience Advantage Vol. 4

Welcome to this month's newsletter, The Cyber Resilience Advantage, Vol. 4, where we review the insightful content I've made for you since our last newsletter! This volume is overflowing with helpful resources, training, and free tools I've made for you.

Over the last 4 months, we have attracted 3,899 subscribers and we can't tell you how grateful we are to have your support. If there are topics of interest you would like us to dig deeper into, or if you have an interest in being interviewed on one of our podcasts regarding a trending topic, please reach out and let us know!

In this month's newsletter, I will share the most recent episodes from The Cyber Risk Management Podcast, Your Cyber Path Podcast, podcasts where the mic is flipped and I have the honor of sharing my experiences, new courses we have released, insights into recent speaking engagements, free tools, and more!

If you recall, last month's newsletter was a special edition and so did not contain all of the rich content I had delivered to my tribe over the month of March. We certainly don't want you to miss out, so this month we are catching you up on all of the content you may have missed. And to be honest, we almost couldn't believe just how robust this newsletter turned out!

Our team at Cyber Risk Opportunities LLC would like to give special thanks to everyone that made this newsletter possible. There are so many people and organizations to thank, we decided to spread it out throughout the entire newsletter instead of thanking everyone in bulk here at the beginning. The list would almost seem endless!

If you recall, last month our newsletter was a special edition, announcing the release of our most recent Udemy course, so if you missed it, this is your chance to jump in and catch up.

In addition to our Udemy course, we also recently released one of two LinkedIn Learning Courses (with another course coming out right behind it so stay tuned).

Now let's FLIP THE MIC!

Thank you, Elevate Security (acquired by Mimecast) for giving me the opportunity to share tips on how to build diverse teams to maximize security, the importance of understanding the shared responsibility model of cloud services, and cyber hygiene best practices on the Friendly Fire: Mitigating Unintentional Insider Risk Podcast.

Thank you, Elevate Security! It was truly an honor to be a guest on your podcast!

During this episode, I mention a lot of things I've made for my tribe. You can download the list here!

Over the last few weeks, I've also had the opportunity to speak in front of a number of organizations for various Conferences, Events, and Networking gatherings. I am a teacher at heart and appreciate any opportunity to help those around me learn from the many experiences I have encountered over the years. Here are the details, along with resources we shared with them and are now sharing with you!

Thank you to the SecureWorld Conference in Kansas City this past week on May 2nd, which invited me to speak on the topic of NIST Cybersecurity Framework.

Here's some content I shared with their team in advance of my engagement. I encourage you to check it out as well:

1. Udemy Course: Implementing the NIST Cybersecurity Framework
2. LinkedIn Learning Course: IT and Cybersecurity Risk Management Essential Training
3. LinkedIn Learning Course: Implementing an Information Security Program

Everyone also received a copy of my best-selling book "Fire Doesn't Innovate" . If you'd like a free copy, reach out to Cyber Risk Opportunities LLC 's Executive Director, Lisa Shaw , who can send a hard copy, audio link, or digital copy directly to you.

Thank you to The Chicago Bar Association ! I recently delivered a CLE called Anatomy of a Ransomware Attack and the Lawyers Role during Response and Recovery and wanted to share some of the comments from several of the students here with you:

• Having conversations with clients about ransomware and the ramifications of ignoring the issue was very valuable.
• I thought his practical insights were very useful and it was clear he was very knowledgeable!
• I thought Kip was an engaging speaker and was able to discuss a technical subject in a way that was accessible to non-tech experts.
• The visual aids showing the processes for ransomware attacks and responses were helpful. I also appreciated the recommendations for products (paid VPNs, password managers, etc.) to help protect against cyber attacks.
• It was 100 percent excellent from start to finish.....
• One of the best seminars I have ever taken!?interesting, understandable, and very engaging...
• The entire presentation is outstanding. Ss I understand how to learn new material, it takes at least seven [7] exposures to new information to understand it...I shall be watching this CLE seminar at least that many times.

Thank you, Washington Women In Tax (WWIT) for inviting me to speak to your network recently. It was a pleasure spending an afternoon networking with you all!

Thank you, Black Hills Information Security , for the opportunity to teach, "How to be Irresistible to Hiring Managers - Antisyphon Training Course." The 16-hour training included 12 months of complimentary access to the Antisyphon Cyber Range, a certificate of participation, and six-month access to class recordings.

I was also honored to be quoted in Craig Guillot's article last month, "4 Benefits of Outsourcing Your University's Cybersecurity" . Thanks, Craig!

"You outsource so you can free up people on your team to do that high-value work that no one else can do, "says Kip Boyle, founder and CISO of Cyber Risk Opportunities."

"Higher education institutions that jump into cybersecurity outsourcing without a plan and a basic understanding of their need may be disappointed, says Boyle."

"There can be benefits, but you must work hard," he says. "A lot of people get into outsourcing without really understanding what they are getting into."

"Boyle, who teaches a course on cybersecurity outsourcing, notes one key to success is to first hire a CISO or experienced person to manage the contracts. Schools should also ensure third parties understand the vulnerablities and needs of higher education institutions."

And of course, I had great content to share!

• My LinkedIn course on the topic - "Cybersecurity Outsourcing: Vendor Selection and Management"
• Also, I co-authored a chapter on the topic in this book - "Computer Security Handbook, 6th Edition" Chapter 68: Outsourcing and Security (Kip Boyle, Michael Buglewicz, and Steven Lovaas)

Keep an eye out for our upcoming courses, coming out within the next couple of months...
