SUMMARY:250310 Cyber Roundtable for SMEs with STAR Refrige
 ration
DESCRIPTION:Cyber Security Roundtable: Security Quality&nbsp\;
 (lunch and learn)\n \n The session will examine ou
 r experience with the Conti Ransomware Incident\, 
 to share our recovery story\, reflect on the criti
 cal lessons learned and the improvements we have s
 ince implemented.\n \n Ransomware remains a persis
 tent threat\, and despite having controls in place
  at the time\, our experience underscored a vital 
 truth: security quality is not just about the pres
 ence of controls but about how well they are confi
 gured and maintained. Our incident review revealed
  that while we had robust tools at the time\, we h
 ad\, at times\, missed some of the basics. This ex
 posed vulnerabilities and demonstrated the need to
  shift our focus from merely having controls to en
 suring those controls are effectively aligned with
  our security strategy.\n \n The discussion will e
 xplore:\n &bull\; An Incident Review: What happene
 d\, our immediate response\, and the steps we took
  to recover.\n &bull\; Security Quality: How treat
 ing the cause of the incident\, rather than just t
 he symptoms\, led us to refine (and continue to re
 fine) our security configurations and processes.\n
  &bull\; Continuous Improvement: Our journey towar
 ds embedding security quality into our culture\, e
 nsuring we address root causes and adapt to evolvi
 ng threats.\n \n We also face ongoing challenges:\
 n &bull\; The pace of change in technology\, espec
 ially in cloud environments.\n &bull\; Balancing t
 he breadth of security controls with the need for 
 simplicity and effectiveness.\n &bull\; Training s
 taff to recognise and respond to threats appropria
 tely.\n &bull\; Making incident response (IR) rele
 vant to busy (non-technical) managers and ensuring
  our security approach is practical\, effective\, 
 and forward-looking.\n \n We are keen to hear your
  insights. How do you manage security quality with
 in your organisations? What strategies or practice
 s have worked well for you? And where do you see o
 pportunities for improvement\, particularly when i
 t comes to aligning security configuration with qu
 ality over sheer quantity of controls?\n \n I hope
  the session will allow attendees to exchange idea
 s\, challenge each other&rsquo\;s thinking\, and h
 opefully leave with new perspectives and practical
  approaches to enhance our security posture.\n \n
