NIST Publishes Cyber Attack Recovery Guidebook


The US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has published the Guide for Cybersecurity Event Recovery. The document describes the two phases of recovery: tactical and strategic. Tactical recovery is based on procedures established prior to a cyber attack; strategic recovery involves identifying lessons learned from the event and using those lessons to plan for recovery from future events. Recovery is one of five aspects of NIST's Cybersecurity Framework. The others are identification, protection, detection, and response. 

CYBERCamp 2017

CYBERCamp 2017 - can we count on your sponsorship?
We have GREAT news! Our first ever CYBERCamp in July 2016 was such a HUGE success we're already planning for summer 2017- AND we're going to do TWO one-week camps! We need your help to sponsor a variety of items for our students. We are offering five sponsorship packages and encourage you and your company to consider making this investment in the NCR's future cyber warriors. Since we are running two one-week camps, there are two of each of the sponsorship packages available (one for each week).  You can view (and purchase!) the sponsorship packages here. CYBERCamp 2017 will be held in July 2017 at Mantech University in Herndon, VA.  If you have sponsorship questions, please contact Sponsorship Lead Christian Galvan at christian.galvan@capitalone.com.  Registration and additional information will be available in spring 2017.  Interested in volunteering to help with the camp?  Sign up here.
