Subject: [gr-issa-discuss] Reminder! GR-ISSA Meeting Next Week

Reminder: GR-ISSA meeting next, Friday, December 14 . 2:30 PM - 5:00 PM
-----------------------
Welcome to the Grand Rapids ISSA!
We invite you and other security professionals you may know to join us next, Friday, December 14th  for a great presentation on the Topic:

"A Simple Approach to IT Risk Management" presented by Paul Prentice, Manager of IT Security, Risk, and Compliance, Steelcase Inc.

Steelcase recognized as they were growing and becoming much more global, they needed to do more to identify and prioritize risks related to I.T. infrastructure and I.T. business applications.  They had previously identified some of the major risks, but had no framework to be able to see all of the I.T. risks, how they compared to each other and prioritize them in a consistent fashion.  Impact to the business and likelihood of occurrence are the measures they use to compare business I.T. risks, worldwide.  In this session, Paul will walk you through a K.I.S.S. approach to building a framework for I.T. Risk Management.

Along with this knowledge transfer we encourage you to take this opportunity to network with fellow Grand Rapids ISSA members and other attending security professionals.  We look forward to seeing you!   Below is our Agenda. More updates will follow.

Your participation is greatly appreciated!

Social Networking: 2:30 PM - 3:00 PM

Upcoming Meetings:

January 18, 2008 - "The Importance of Verifying Third Party Security Programs" presented by Rebecca Herold & Associates, LLC
This discussion will present key points of what organizations should know about the risks involved with entrusting business processing, operations and data handling to third parties. Rebecca will explain to attendees, when you outsource critical data processing, operations and management activities, you must take action to stay in charge of your own business data security and minimize your business risks. You must hold your vendors to strict security standards. In many instances, the standards applied to vendors will be more stringent than your institution's internal security requirements.  This presentation sponsored by The Pivot Group
