SUMMARY:Webinar | Your Vendor Passed the Questionnaire. Now What? Rethinking Third-Party Risk for the AI Era
DESCRIPTION:Traditional third-party risk management has often centered around questionnaires and point-in-time assessments\, but today’s vendor ecosystems are changing faster than those processes can keep up. \nIn this WiCyS webinar\, Cisco will explore how AI\, cloud dependencies\, fourth-party risk\, and continuous monitoring are reshaping the way cybersecurity teams evaluate and manage third-party risk. \nCisco will also discuss how organizations can move beyond the “pass/fail” vendor assessment toward a more dynamic\, risk-based approach that combines automation and continuous intelligence with the human judgment still required to make meaningful risk decisions. \nWiCyS is proud to provide members the opportunity to earn CPE/CEU credits for attending WiCyS Webinars live. To earn CPE/CEU credits with the following providers\, you must meet the minimum requirements: \n\nGIAC/(ISC)2: attend for a minimum of 45 minutes or the entirety of the webinar\nCompTIA: attend for a minimum of 60 minutes or the entirety of the webinar (webinar topic must relate to the certificate being renewed)\n\nAttendees who meet the requirements can log into BrightTALK to print out their attendance certificates to submit for CPE/CEU credits. \nRegister for this webinar and view the recording if you are unable to join live.

SUMMARY:Webinar | IAM Done Right
DESCRIPTION:AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) is the foundation of every secure AWS environment\, yet misconfigurations remain the #1 cause of cloud breaches on AWS. Too often\, policies are copied from Stack Overflow\, roles default to AdministratorAccess\, and access goes unaudited. \nIn this WiCyS webinar\, Amazon demystifies AWS IAM from the ground up\, covering why identity is the new perimeter\, the principles of least privilege\, IAM roles\, policy design\, and AWS-native tools that keep you secure. \nThrough live Console demos and real-world breach case studies\, you’ll leave with practical skills to audit\, tighten\, and maintain IAM in your own accounts. Whether writing your first IAM policy or managing a multi-account AWS Organization\, this session provides a clear framework to get IAM right and keep it right. \nWiCyS is proud to provide members the opportunity to earn CPE/CEU credits for attending WiCyS Webinars live.

SUMMARY:Webinar | Behind the Tabletop: What a Hospital Ransomware Exercise Can Teach Us About SOC Readiness
DESCRIPTION:When ransomware hits a hospital\, the challenge extends far beyond IT: Who decides? Who coordinates? How does the SOC align clinical teams\, legal\, executives\, and communications as the crisis escalates? \nIn this WiCyS webinar\, industry experts take attendees behind the scenes of a real-world hospital tabletop exercise: \n\nKey Crisis Scenarios: Explores critical decision points\, escalating injects\, and multi-stakeholder dynamics from clinical impact to executive communication. What It Tests: Evaluates whether roles\, escalation paths\, operational continuity\, and cross-functional coordination hold up under real pressure.\nCore Takeaway: Demonstrates that tabletop exercises aren’t about perfect answers\, but testing if people\, processes\, and communication actually work when tested.\nAttendees will leave with practical insights to uncover preparedness gaps\, bridge the gap between the SOC and leadership\, and strengthen incident response readiness before a crisis occurs.\n\nWiCyS is proud to provide members the opportunity to earn CPE/CEU credits for attending WiCyS Webinars live.

SUMMARY:Webinar | How AWS Continuum and Amazon Inspector Cover the Full Vulnerability Spectrum
DESCRIPTION:60% of organizations update web applications weekly\, yet 75% test security monthly or less\, leading 81% to knowingly ship vulnerable code to meet deadlines\, driven by traditional pen tests taking three weeks and $25–50K per engagement. \nIn this WiCyS webinar\, Amazon Web Services demonstrates how to close this gap using two complementary security solutions: \nAWS Security Agent (The Unknown): A frontier AI agent that proactively secures applications across the SDLC—reviewing design docs\, enforcing PR policies\, and executing multi-step pen tests in hours to catch business logic flaws and architectural weaknesses pattern-matchers miss. \nAmazon Inspector (The Known): An automated vulnerability management platform that continuously scans EC2\, Lambda\, containers\, and repositories to track the 80% of vulnerabilities that are documented—including CVEs\, network exposure\, IaC misconfigurations\, and CIS benchmark violations. \nAttendees will learn where these services overlap\, where they diverge\, and how to combine both into a unified security program via AWS Security Hub. \n—————— \nWiCyS is proud to provide members the opportunity to earn CPE/CEU credits for attending WiCyS Webinars live.
