You always hear about external data breaches. But, in fact, more and more breaches are coming from within your own firm. And making it more difficult, is that many data breaches from insiders are completely unintentional.
Observability: Metric, Logging, and Tracing, Oh My!
a CCSI Webinar
June 12, 2019, 1:00-2:00 pm
Is observability just a rebranding of monitoring? Is it monitoring on steroids? Or, is it the new way to find out “why” your system, IT or application isn’t working as expected rather simply “if” it is working or not?
To achieve observability, IT needs to correlate many different sources from logs, metrics, traces, etc. This becomes even more critical and the level of difficulty increase exponentially on distributed systems using containers and Microservices. Learn more about observability during this webinar.

DRaaS, It’s not just for Disasters Anymore
a CCSI Webinar
November 14, 2018, 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm
Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) has become a key consideration for businesses both large and small as they look to be able to recover from disasters more quickly and suffer less loss of data and productivity. Disasters like hurricanes, floods and fires are of course top of mind BUT there are other disasters that may not be as physically catastrophic, yet equally catastrophic to your organization’s data.
DRaaS also offers the perfect last resort protection against ransomware and malware of all sorts. It doesn’t matter how good your perimeter and endpoint protection is, something always seems to find its way in. DRaaS is there standing by to ensure you don’t need to pay a ransom and pray it decrypts or go to backup tapes that could take days to completely restore.
DRaaS is the perfect solution for all the disasters you can think of, and all those you can’t. It brings Fortune 500 disaster recovery capabilities to the SMB market at prices they will embrace.
California Consumer Privacy Act Panel and Discussion

When it comes into force on 1 January 2020, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) will become the strictest privacy law the US has seen yet. Among the requirements: heightened penalties for data breaches and increased citizen rights for statutory damages. The law also raises many critical questions – Does the CCPA create a European-style data protection regime within America? How much of an impact will the law have beyond California’s own borders? And will the CCPA reinvigorate the push for pre-emptive Federal privacy legislation?
Join WISP NYC on Monday 5 November at Loeb & Loeb LLP for an introduction to the CCPA leading law firm Loeb & Loeb LLP, followed by an engaging panel with industry leaders as they share their views on the CCPA, the operational impacts on their roles, and what they believe it means for the US privacy and security landscape in 2020 and beyond.

Not Accepting Failure: Cybersecurity success through leadership and planning
a PMILIC/IEEE Chapter Meeting
October 10, 2018, 6:00 pm -8:00 pm
Cybersecurity is an increasingly important topic in today’s organizations and to properly defend against today’s threats we need to plan for success. In order to reduce risk within the enterprise project management and cybersecurity leaders need to work together to identity, prioritize and execute plans that will secure the critical assets of an organization. Without proper planning through the lifecycle of cybersecurity projects it opens up an organization for increased threat of attack. Throughout this presentation, Matthew Pascucci, Cybersecurity Practice Manager at CCSI will speak about ways the PMO will assist with ensuring success and defense or the organization. We’ll review the following:
- Planning for mergers and acquisitions
- Dealing with third-party vendors

Visibility as a Service
a CCSI Webinar
August 30, 2018, 12:00 pm – 12:30 pm
Moving to a cloud environment forces many companies to rethink host-centric monitoring because instances come and go, and different groups within their organization spin up new stacks with little advance notice. This infrastructure churn is a new phenomenon. Gone are the days where virtual machine or physical server live spans were measured in years.
