Secrets to managing your Duty of Care in an ever- changing world.
How well do you know your risks?
Are you keeping up with your responsibilities to provide Duty of Care?
How well are you prioritising Cybersecurity initiatives?
Liability for Cybersecurity attacks sits with Executives and Board members who may not have the right level of technical security knowledge. This session will outline what practical steps executives can take to implement a Cybersecurity Roadmap that is aligned with its strategic objectives.
Led by Krist Davood, who has spent over 28 years implementing secure mission critical systems for executives. Krist is an expert in protecting the interconnectedness of technology, intellectual property and information systems, as evidenced through his roles at The Good Guys, Court Services Victoria and Schiavello.
The seminar will cover:
• Fiduciary responsibility
• How to efficiently deal with personal liability and the threat of court action
• The role of a Cybersecurity Executive Dashboard and its ability to simplify risk and amplify informed decision making
• How to identify and bridge the gap between your Cybersecurity Compliance Rating and the threat of court action
How to Build Your Own Cyber Security Framework using a Balanced ScorecardEnergySec
Presented by: Russell Thomas, George Mason University
Abstract: Two aspects of cyber security that everyone struggles with are metrics and business impact. How do we measure it to improve and how do we make it meaningful to business decision makers? This gap appeared again recently in the NIST Cyber Security Framework (CSF) process RFI responses. But there is no need to wait for NIST CSF or anything else because there is a viable method available now that you can use to build your own CSF. Namely the “Balanced Scorecard” method.
The key idea is to focus on performance against measurable objectives in all critical dimensions that, taken together, will lead to better security, privacy, and resiliency outcomes, even in a dynamic and highly uncertain threat environment. In this presentation, we’ll explain the ten critical dimensions of cyber security performance, explain how they are interrelated and feed off each other, show how to create a performance index in each dimension, and describe how the balanced scorecard can be used to drive executive decisions. This presentation should be valuable to managers and executives in every type of organization in the energy sector, including the supply/service chain. Consultants, regulators, and academics should also find it interesting and useful.

Abstract: The cyber threat landscape is continually evolving. More and more, the critical infrastructure of our nation is at risk. Whether by nation-state actors, criminal organizations, hacktivists or any number of hackers looking to prove their skills, our safety and economic prosperity is threatened. There are four things that must be considered in order to address the evolving threats:
1- Becoming more proactive in our cyber defense efforts through intelligence
2- Better user behavior management
3- Assessing risk using meaningful metric
4- Resilience – operating through an intrusion
We need to look at the threat picture differently – in a proactive way – to ensure that CEO’s and CIO/CISO’s are on the same page regarding the threat, to allow those leaders to make better resourcing decisions and to be better prepared to mitigate adversaries when they arrive at the security perimeter. We need to integrate a wider set of intelligence into our thinking. This is critical to taking a more proactive stance in defending your networks. Combined with what you know of your own network, cyber intelligence strategically helps make solid resource planning decisions and functionally, helps your network operators better defend, mitigate and operate through cyber intrusions. The Operational Levels of Cyber Intelligence paper by the Intelligence and National Security Alliance details a better way of using intelligence.

Additionally, we must increase info sharing across the board. Executive Order 13636 - Improving Critical Infrastructure Cybersecurity is leading critical infrastructure that direction.
With more than 50,000 new malware created every day organisations can no longer afford to risk the financial and reputational impacts of a security or data breach, which can be too much for a business to recover from. Because of this, IT managers face increasing scrutiny and pressure from CEOs, managing directors and boards to prove that they are keeping the organisation secure.
The changing threat landscape means organisations need to be vigilant and smarter about security. While businesses still face threats from infected devices and malware, attackers have also moved beyond that. For example, there is an increasing number of targeted email attacks with cyber criminals spending time to monitor communications so they can imitate emails that are so sophisticated that even relatively savvy users will open them.
This webinar will explore the building blocks required to ensure you have the roadmap required to best protection against cyber attacks. We will provide you with a high level view of the following topics:
· Audit and discovery – What are your weaknesses and are you compliant?
· Education – Do your employees know when not to open that attachment?
· Policy – Do you have the right policies for your industry?
· Technology – Where to start and what has changed?

Integrating Cyber Security Alerts into the Operator DisplayEnergySec
Presented by: Michael Toecker, Digital Bond
Abstract: Control Systems are responsible for the safe and reliable governing of physical processes, and are designed to report conditions that could affect reliable operations to operators for action. These conditions may vary in their severity, from minor inconveniences to those that can bring the process to a full halt. While engineers have predicted certain events and consequences, others are “unknown unknowns”, and may only be detected due to variances from normal function.
Cyber security conditions are similar in nature. Cyber security conditions can vary in severity and cyber security professionals can classify and alert on some, but not all cyber security events. In this presentation, Michael Toecker will discuss cyber security conditions that are known, and that could be integrated into the operational display.
Treating cyber security events as analogous to control system events has many benefits and drawbacks, and Toecker will expand on criteria for determining what is appropriate for an operator display, and what is not. The purpose of this presentation is to demonstrate that cyber security can have a place in operational decisions, so long as conditions are carefully analyzed and response actions developed beforehand.
Building Human Intelligence – Pun IntendedEnergySec
Presented by: Rohyt Belani, Phishme
Abstract: In the physical world, the human brain has evolved to avoid danger. The threat of physical pain triggers fear – and we have learned to avoid behavior that causes pain. In the electronic world of email, however, this concept doesn’t translate. Clicking on a malicious link or opening an attachment laced with malware doesn’t cause pain, and often a user won’t even notice anything is wrong after doing it. How then, can we teach fear perception in the electronic world? Is it even possible? In this presentation I’ll discuss how immersive training can key on psychological triggers to teach people to become skeptical email users who not only avoid undesired security behavior but can aid intrusion detection by reporting suspicious emails, helping to mitigate one of the most serious problems in security: slow incident detection times. According to reports from Mandiant and Verizon, average detection time for an incident is in the hundreds of days. A properly trained workforce is not only resilient to phishing attacks, but can improve detection times as well.

Why Patch Management is Still the Best First Line of DefenseLumension
Today more than 2 million malware signatures are identified each month and traditional anti-virus defenses simply can’t keep up. Even the major anti-virus vendors have concluded that stand-alone anti-virus no longer provides an effective defense and that additional layers of security technology are needed to address the rising volume and sophistication of threats. View this presentation to learn:
• Why you can’t forget about older vulnerabilities
• How to reduce exposure from both OS and 3rd party application vulnerabilities
• The challenges with reliance upon “free” patching tools and native updaters
• Why you should consider patch management as the core of an effective depth-in-defense endpoint security approach

This webinar was hosted by Ignyte Assurance Platform and Federal Publication Seminars on 18 June 2021.
The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), under the Department of Homeland Security, launches a campaign to reduce the risk of ransomware. Following an executive order signed by President Biden on May 12, 2021, which aims to increase cybersecurity defenses and resiliency against nation-state data exfiltration and hold global criminals accountable for ransomware attacks.
As we’ve seen with the Solar Winds and Colonial Pipeline hacks, cybercrime isn’t limited to government organizations. In fact, both public and private sectors are vulnerable to an all-too-common type of cyber attack which exposed the gaps in U.S. cyber defenses. New standards such as Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) are becoming required compliance and cyber hygiene minimum for all organizations involved in the federal supply chain.
This webinar is designed for federal contractors and companies that provide critical infrastructure or any type of software to the government. Our guests and leading data security and compliance experts will explain how both public and private sector organizations need to act now to protect global software supply chains that affect government and private sector computer systems.
Knowing exactly where your cybersecurity and compliance gaps are and the solutions needed to implement and fix them is central to your success. Early adopters demonstrating high security & compliance postures are positioned to win more business over laggards.

Too Small to Get Hacked? Think Again (Webinar)OnRamp
SMBs are a major target in today’s threat landscape since larger organizations have invested in security measures in the last couple of years. Find out how much your data is worth and the best way to safeguard those assets from our experts.
According to StaySafeOnline.org, attacks on SMBs account for over 70% of data breaches, a figure that is on the rise. Sophisticated digital criminals easily exploit businesses with limited security budgets, outdated security controls, and untrained employees. Not to mention, insider threats are becoming more prevalent. Each security incident costs SMBs a loss of $120k, on average. So what can you do about it?
Data security requires implementing the right technology, people, and processes. Like many SMBs, you may see the value in security, but may not be sure where to start. Join our panel of experts in this educational webinar to find out what steps you can take to protect your business today and its valuable assets. We’ll review current trends in attack methods, how to determine what to protect, and what methods are best suited for your objectives.

Modern Authentication – Turn a Losing Battle into a Winning Strategy, Robert ...Core Security
Passwords, multi-factor authentication, knowledge-based questions/answers, and hard tokens are based on technologies that are now 20 years old. With organizations losing the battle against cyber attacks, it’s clearly time to move beyond these legacy technologies and adopt a modern approach in which awareness and flexibility are king. Authentication must adapt based on the level of risk, so that it can deliver strong security yet be invisible to users most of the time.
Achieving that balance of strong security and appropriate user friction is the basis for modern authentication. This session will explore what modern authentication is and why using it across all users, devices, and services is vital to turning a losing battle into a winning strategy to stop cyber attacks.
Automating Critical Security Controls for Threat Remediation and ComplianceQualys
Trends like the increased use of cloud computing by businesses and their vendors introduce new complexities in reducing risk and assessing security across the supply chain. Demonstrating continuous risk reduction and compliance with internal policies and external regulations, fixing violations and configuration drift, centrally managing exceptions, and documenting progress are all common challenges.
The Center for Internet Security’s (CIS) Critical Security Controls (CSCs) were selected and prioritized by leading security experts to stop today’s most common and serious cyber threats. By implementing these controls, organizations can improve their security posture and reduce the risk of threats to critical assets, data, and network infrastructure.
In this webcast SANS Senior Analyst John Pescatore and Tim White, Director of Product Management for Qualys Policy Compliance (PC), discuss how you can achieve continuous security and compliance, and leverage Qualys solutions to address all 20 CSCs.
The presentation encompasses:
• An overview of the CIS Critical Security Controls, including ongoing updates
• Success patterns organizations have demonstrated for using the controls to their advantage
• How an automation can reduce the staffing load to determine whether controls are in place and effective
• How to prioritize remediation efforts
• Real-world examples of recent attacks that leveraged misconfigured systems

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
