The Cyber Readiness Index 2.0 Launch
Washington, D.C.—The Potomac Institute for Policy Studies is hosting an international panel of cybersecurity experts to discuss national considerations for cyber preparedness. The panel of experts will include experts from the World Bank, Organization of American States, Israel, Canada, and the Netherlands. Panelists will discuss global cybersecurity initiatives and the impact of the recently released “Cyber Readiness Index 2.0, A Plan for Cyber Readiness: A Baseline and an Index.” The event will take place at the Institute on January 22, 2016 from 1030AM to 1230PM EST.
The Cyber Readiness Index (CRI) 2.0 is unique methodology for evaluating and measuring the level of preparedness for certain cybersecurity risks at the national level. The CRI 2.0 examines 125 countries and evaluates a country's maturity and commitment to securing its infrastructure and services. The leading author Melissa Hathaway and Georgetown University professor Catherine Lotrionte will discuss the importance of the CRI 2.0 and cyber security metrics.
Melissa Hathaway states, “The Cyber Readiness Index 1.0 was launched in Australia two years ago and has influenced many countries around the world. We hope the CRI 2.0 has even broader impact.”
The event will be live streamed here.
