Requirements
Some experience in one or more of the following: ITAM, IT, IT security, or a basic understanding of how IT is used in business.
Description
As an organization, your network's attack surface is its primary vulnerability that attackers may exploit to cause harm. To manage it effectively, it's crucial to keep an accurate inventory of all assets, including those owned by the corporation, employees, and vendors. To monitor real-time changes, employing IMACD (install, move, add, change, dispose) can be helpful. However, this process relies on upstream processes, policies, and standards that begin before acquisition and continue after end-of-life. It's essential to limit exceptions and ensure that executive management supports these processes, policies, and standards.In this workshop, you will learn how ITAM supports cybersecurity in over 750 ways so you can protect your organization's crown jewels - the data. You will also receive the mapping between ITAM's 37 key components to NIST's and CIS's security controls. Utilizing the mapping, you can confidently apply the knowledge gained from the workshop to benchmark and advance your IT, ITAM, and IT security programs and expand your educational experience beyond the workshop. You will also learn how ITAM benefits departments other than IT security, making the funding of ITAM initiatives one of your organization's best investments and one that executives will love!To summarize, not only will you learn about ITAM's impact on IT security and the rest of the organization, but you will also receive a tool that can be used to accelerate your ITAM, IT, and IT security programs by assessing your current ITAM Program's performance and then developing a roadmap for improvement.
