Building A Cybersecurity Business Case
Tuesday April 1, 2025 2:45pm - 3:45pm CDT
Spring Lake B
In today's digital landscape, cybersecurity has become a top priority.  The growing frequency and sophistication of cyber threats, such as ransomware attacks, data breaches, and phishing schemes, present significant challenges. These incidents not only threaten sensitive data, undermine public trust and monetary loss but potentially can threaten public safety and infrastructure.

Critical to combat these ever-increasing risks, having the knowledge and the skill to clearly articulate and defend cybersecurity needs by building solid business cases in this session we will focus on:

Assessing and prioritizing Vulnerabilities and Potential Consequences: This involves identifying critical assets, assessing current security measures, and modeling the consequences of an incident—both immediate and long-term.

Understanding and Prioritizing Purchasing Criteria: When selecting cybersecurity solutions, decision-makers should align their criteria with the organization's unique needs.

Review an example of Business case framework: Demonstrating the return on investment or risk avoidance is crucial to gaining stakeholder approval. A strong business case quantifies the financial benefits of preventing costly incidents, minimizing downtime, and complying with regulatory requirements.

Wednesday April 2, 2025 9:45am - 10:45am CDT
Veramendi D
In the modern IT era, having an incident is often seen as a failure or a significant setback. However, this perspective can hinder growth and progress. This presentation aims to redefine how we view and handle these events.

We will explore the notion that cybersecurity incidents are not something to sweep under the rug but, rather, valuable opportunities for advancement. Through real-world examples, we'll demonstrate how organizations can work through these incidents to uncover unknown vulnerabilities, enhance their security frameworks, and foster a culture of continuous improvement.

Participants will gain insights into what it looks like when the TAMUS Cyber Operations Incident Response team is involved. The session will also highlight the importance of transparency and collaboration within the Texas A&M University System, showcasing how a unified defense & shared knowledge can elevate collective defense mechanisms.

Join us to discover how embracing cybersecurity incidents as learning experiences can shift the narrative from one of shame to one of strength and innovation. By breaking the stigma, we empower ourselves to face future challenges with greater confidence and capability.

Veramendi D
In the modern IT era, having an incident is often seen as a failure or a significant setback. However, this perspective can hinder growth and progress. This presentation aims to redefine how we view and handle these events.

We will explore the notion that cybersecurity incidents are not something to sweep under the rug but, rather, valuable opportunities for advancement. Through real-world examples, we'll demonstrate how organizations can work through these incidents to uncover unknown vulnerabilities, enhance their security frameworks, and foster a culture of continuous improvement.

Participants will gain insights into what it looks like when the TAMUS Cyber Operations Incident Response team is involved. The session will also highlight the importance of transparency and collaboration within the Texas A&M University System, showcasing how a unified defense & shared knowledge can elevate collective defense mechanisms.

Join us to discover how embracing cybersecurity incidents as learning experiences can shift the narrative from one of shame to one of strength and innovation. By breaking the stigma, we empower ourselves to face future challenges with greater confidence and capability.

SCORE in Action: A Tabletop Exercise for a Power-Grid Attack
Thursday April 3, 2025 8:00am - 11:15am CDT
Veramendi A
The SCORE (Scalable Cyber-Physical Optimal Response Engine) project’s tabletop exercise is a discussion-based session designed to show how a cyberattack can affect the power grid. Participants will learn about the power grid’s stakeholders, current threats and trends, and methods for analyzing risk and implementing both present-day and future mitigation strategies.

In conducting this tabletop, participants walk through hypothetical scenarios to test responses, uncover possible vulnerabilities in both IT and OT systems, and refine plans for communication and collaboration. Discussions cover process bottlenecks, potential security risks, and stakeholder roles, with an emphasis on identifying improvements to procedures and decision-making. Lessons learned from the exercise lead to the creation or updating of guidelines, training programs, and coordination strategies, ultimately enhancing organizational readiness and resilience.
