In this episode, we talk to Julia Voo, one of the authors of the newly published National Cyber Power Index 2020. Which country is the most powerful in cyberspace? The NCPI takes a "whole of country" approach to measuring cyber power, ranking 30 countries in the context of seven national objectives.
Voo is a Cyber Fellow at the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs at the Harvard Kennedy School. She was the closing keynote at the SecureWorld Detroit-Toronto-Cincinnati virtual conference, and this is an excerpt from her presentation and fireside chat.

CISO Milinda Rambel Stone and Human Resources VP Susan Hanson, both of Provation Medical, worked together on a pandemic plan completed just as the COVID-19 pandemic hit the U.S. They discuss these questions:
How does a pandemic plan fit with a Business Continuity Plan (BCP)? How did the business, including information security, communicate during this time? How was the plan communicated to executive leadership? How has the BCP helped cybersecurity and other parts of the business work together? And what if your BCP needs some work or you don't have one yet?
