Do you have evidence that your products and or services have sped up your client’s security posture?
It is time to refocus our efforts to protect our Nation’s Critical Functions. It is time to identify ways small businesses can be supported, so they can continue to focus on ingenuity that comes from them. It is time to help these businesses secure their critical information and the National Critical Functions they support.
How can we best identify common needs across sectors to address them directly?

Journey to the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) 2.0 In-Person Working Sessions
February 22-23 2023
National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE)
9700 Great Seneca Highway
Rockville, Maryland
If you plan to attend the NIST CSF 2.0 Working Sessions, I’d like to meet with you in person to discuss ways we/you can utilize the CSF and other NIST Special Publications, to help Small Businesses who have roles supporting our National Critical Functions. Please contact me in advance at resilience @ rightexposure.com. I will be representing the National Cybersecurity Center and Space ISAC. If you don’t plan to attend but are interested, please reach out to me too.
I have a passionate interest in discussions about:
- How Product and Service Providers are mapping the value of your offerings directly to controls associated with risk and governance protecting critical information that needs to remain private. #CSF, #800-171, #800-53 #CIS
- How your role as a Managed Service Provider can take a significant level of burden off businesses in terms of cost and level of effort while moving them and their extended business ecosystem to a more secure position rapidly.
- Are you taking advantage of the NIST OSCAL?
- How are you addressing the possibility/fact that you are in scope with your clients.

Space ISAC is the only all-threats security information source for the public and private space sector.
