Topic: The Center for Internet Security, Global Cyber Alliance and one New Zealand Black Cat
Tony Krzyzewski has been actively involved in the work of the Center for Internet Security and the Global Cyber Alliance over the past year in helping CIS Controls version 7 and participating in Global Cyber Alliance activities both within the region, and in the United Kingdom. Tony and Jackie Krzyzewski’s business, SAM for Compliance, became founding regional partners within the Global Cyber Alliance last year and, in April this year, following his presentation at the Global Cyber Alliance/Verizon Cyber Trends 2018 event at Mansion House, London, Tony was appointed as an Ambassador for the Global Cyber Alliance.
Tony will be speaking about the role of the Center for Internet Security and the development processes behind CIS Controls version 7. He will also talk about the activities of the Global Cyber Alliance in helping reduce the impact of cybersecurity related risk and, in particular, how DMARC and Quad9 can assist New Zealand organisations and individuals. He will also demonstrate how the SAM for Compliance cloud based service is helping organisations self-assess, manage, improve and report on compliance with standards, how SAM for Compliance’s input formed an essential part in the restructuring of the CIS Controls, and how one small black cat became the symbol for SAM for Compliance!
