Mon, 19 Dec 2011 08:00:53 +0100

(Geneva, Switzerland) 19 Dec 2011. NOUVEL Strategies partner Jim Herbeck will be the featured speaker at a SANS Information Security Webcast on Tuesday, 20 Mar, 3pm CET. The topic will be “Managing Network-related Risk for SMEs”:
Everyone understands that the threat of cyber attack via the Internet is very real. And every small- and medium-sized enterprise (SME) has implemented a firewall to manage that risk. "But is that enough?" asks Jim Herbeck, presenter of this webcast on information security for SMEs. "A network firewall is only the starting point for network security, not the endpoint. There are many additional steps an SME can take to secure their network," says Herbeck. This webcast offers concrete advice for SMEs about managing network-related risk from ISO 27001 and the SANS 20 Critical Security Controls. The webcast is appropriate for anyone who's responsible for managing, developing, or implementing information security at an SME.
This is the fourth webcast in the Information Security for SMEs Series. Each webcast addresses a specific area of information security and offers pragmatic advice for SMEs. Details about the series can be found at the NOUVEL website: http://nouvelstrategies.com/InfoSec-for-SMEs
SANS Information Security Webcasts are web broadcasts, including live audio while viewing presentation slides. Participation is free, though registration is required. Details can be found at the SANS website: http://www.sans.org/webcasts

Note: In the US, SMEs are more commonly referred to as Small and Medium Businesses (SMBs).

Press Release: NOUVEL’s Jim Herbeck to present SANS Institute webcast “Writing Information Security Policy for SMEs” on 21 Feb

Mon, 12 Dec 2011 08:00:24 +0100

(Geneva, Switzerland) 12 Dec 2011. NOUVEL Strategies partner Jim Herbeck will be the featured speaker at a SANS Information Security Webcast on Tuesday, 21 Feb, 3pm CET. The topic will be “Writing Information Security Policy for SMEs”:
It's really striking how bad information security policy can be at some organizations. Large multi-national organizations may have information security policies in excess of 100 pages. "The problem with a 100-page policy is that very few people in the organization have ever read it," says Jim Herbeck, presenter of this webcast on information security for small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). "This is one area where, with a bit of foresight, SMEs can run circles around larger organizations. It should be possible for an SME to write compact, effect policy by objective and approve it in a fraction of the time that bigger organizations require," according to Herbeck. This webcast offers an overview of how to write information security policy, and is appropriate for anyone who's responsible for managing, developing, or implementing information security at an SME.
This is the third webcast in the Information Security for SMEs Series. Each webcast addresses a specific area of information security and offers pragmatic advice for SMEs. Details about the series can be found at the NOUVEL website: http://nouvelstrategies.com/InfoSec-for-SMEs

Press Release: NOUVEL’s Jim Herbeck to present SANS Institute webcast “Risk Management for SMEs” on 17 Jan

Mon, 5 Dec 2011 08:00:12 +0100

(Geneva, Switzerland) 05 Dec 2011. NOUVEL Strategies partner Jim Herbeck will be the featured speaker at a SANS Information Security Webcast on Tuesday, 17 Jan, 3pm CET. The topic will be “Risk Management for SMEs”:
Managing information- and IT-related risk is a big undertaking for large organizations. It can be even more challenging for small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). One of the first steps in the risk management process is risk assessment. Often the risk assessment methodologies used by large corporations don't work well for SMEs. Some risk assessment methodologies can take 6-12 months, or longer, to perform. "That simply doesn't work for SMEs," says Jim Herbeck, presenter of this webcast on information security for SMEs. "SMEs need results--something that validates their expenditures for risk management and information security, not just paper reports that accomplish nothing tangible," Herbeck says. This webcast offers an overview of risk management along with pragmatic ideas for how to accelerate the risk assessment process. The webcast is appropriate for anyone who's responsible for managing, developing, or implementing information security at an SME.
This is the second webcast in the Information Security for SMEs Series. Each webcast addresses a specific area of information security and offers pragmatic advice for SMEs. Details about the series can be found at the NOUVEL website: http://nouvelstrategies.com/InfoSec-for-SMEs

Press Release: NOUVEL’s Jim Herbeck to present SANS Institute webcast “Information Security for SMEs” on 22 Nov

Mon, 24 Oct 2011 08:00:13 +0200

(Geneva, Switzerland) NOUVEL Strategies partner Jim Herbeck will be the featured speaker at a SANS Information Security Webcast on Tuesday, 22 Nov, 3pm CET. The topic will be “Information Security for SMEs”:
Stories in the news about information security breaches often focus on high-profile corporations and multi-national organizations. This could create the impression that smaller organizations face a smaller risk of being hacked. "But that's not true!" says Jim Herbeck, presenter of this webcast on information security for SMEs. "Small- and medium-sized businesses face the same challenges as larger organizations in protecting the confidentiality and integrity of their data and the availability of their resources. At the same time, SMEs must develop and implement their information risk management and security program under the constraints imposed by a smaller budget and organization," Herbeck says. This webcast will offer an overview of information security that is appropriate for anyone who's responsible for managing, developing, or implementing information security at an SME.
This is the first webcast in the Information Security for SMEs Series. Each webcast addresses a specific area of information security and offers pragmatic advice for SMEs. Details about the series can be found at the NOUVEL website: http://nouvelstrategies.com/InfoSec-for-SMEs
