If audits feel scary and cyber risk keeps you up at night, this fast‑paced session is for you. On Thursday, October 16, 2025, 12:00–12:45 PM ET (9:00–9:45 AM PT) we’ll walk through a six‑stage, no‑nonsense roadmap that takes you from reactive firefighting to resilience—just in time for Cybersecurity Awareness Month.
Why a Roadmap (Not Just More Tools)
Tool sprawl, ad‑hoc projects, and last‑minute audit scrambles can turn your environment into haunted‑house IT. A structured roadmap fixes that. Each stage builds practical proof points (artifacts, reports, and remediations) that leadership and insurers actually care about – without detours or rework.
What You’ll Learn in this 45 Minutes Webinar
The 6‑Stage Risk → Resilience Roadmap
1) Discovery & Awareness — See what attackers already know.
Phishing Snapshot/Simulation, Dark Web Credential Check, BECA (Employee Secure Score). You’ll get quantified people/credential risk and an executive‑level readout.
2) Credential & Access Hardening — Close the crypt.
MFA rollout (incl. admins), password manager adoption, RDP/attack‑surface cleanup. Reduce privileged pathways and stop easy break‑ins.
3) Email & Communication Security — Keep the door shut.
SPF/DKIM/DMARC alignment, auto‑forward rule audit/monitoring. Block spoofing and silent exfiltration through inbox rules.
4) Data Resilience & Recovery — Raise your data from the grave.
Test restores, validate RPO/RTO, ensure cloud/endpoints are covered. Prove recovery is possible before ransomware strikes.
5) Baseline Security & Compliance — From hocus‑pocus → to hard evidence.
Tenant baseline (e.g., M365/Azure AD), firewall cleanup, public storage exposure checks. Produce artifacts auditors and insurers accept.
6) Resilience & Strategic Prep — When the lights flicker, everyone knows what to do.
Vuln scan + remediation sprint; Incident Response plan (roles, comms, call trees); tabletop test outline; policy pack mapped to CIS v8 IG1.
