Building An Effective Security Program with Limited Resources Guided by the NIST CSF

Many organizations wrongly believe that effective security programs require large budgets and teams. We will discuss how to build an effective security program based on the five key areas of the NIST Cybersecurity Framework – Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond and Recover - with limited resources typical of a small-to-medium sized organization. We’ll share our experiences building impressive security programs with small teams that met requirements including FISMA, PCI, and SOC. How do you set priorities? How can you build layered defenses with limited budget? How do you get your best bang for your buck? What affordable tools can be deployed? When should you consider outsourcing?

We will provide an overview of the NIST Cybersecurity Framework and discuss how to use that framework as you build out a risk-based security program within an organization. We will discuss tools that can serve as controls within the five areas of the framework. We will relate the implementation of those controls to compliance guidelines so that as your organization grows, it will be prepared to meet compliance requirements.
