Practical application of the NIST Cyber Security Framework

Undoubtedly, you will have heard about the NIST Cybersecurity Framework. It’s the new kid on the block. Now made mandatory in the U.S. through an Executive Order, many organisations in the U.S. must implement the framework.

But what about the rest of us?

This presentation will introduce attendees to what the NIST Cybersecurity Framework is and where the Framework is currently being used. It will also step through a new Standard, AS7770:2018, being developed for Rail Cyber Security in Australia. The presentation will go through the decision-making process considering other standards, such as ISO27001 and the ISM. Finally, the presentation will examine the horizontal application of how the framework will be used.

Driverless Cars and the Tesla Autopilot

According to Business Insider in its Connected-Car Report, there will be 220 million self-driving cars on the road by 2020. McAfee’s 2016 Threats Predictions Report notes that “poorly secured driverless cars and smart highways will further expose drivers and passengers in 2017 and beyond, likely resulting in lost lives…”, and that “recent vehicle hacks are a great example… selectively modifying communications and commands so they can take control or affect what the vehicle does. This has a potentially terrifying result.”

Want to learn more about the self-driving car revolution….come along to our friendly evening seminar where we'll explore: 

• Driverless and Electric Car Technologies
• Key Safety and Security Challenges with Driverless Cars
• Insight into the Tesla Model S Autopilot Artificial Intelligence System
