Introduction to Risk Management via the NIST Cyber Security FrameworkPECB
The cyber security profession has successfully established explicit guidance for practitioners to implement effective cyber security programs via the NIST Cyber Security Framework (CSF). The CSF provides both a roadmap and a measuring stick for effective cyber security. Application of the CSF within cyber is nothing new, but the resurgence of Enterprise Security Risk Management and Security Convergence highlight opportunities for expanded application for cyber, physical, and personnel security risks. This NIST CSF can help practitioners build a cross-pollenated understanding of holistic risk.
Main points covered:
• Understand the purpose, value, and application of the NIST CSF in familiar non-technical terms.
• Understand how the Functions and Categories of the NIST CSF (the CSF “Core”) and an organization's “current” and “target” profiles are relevant and valuable in a variety of sectors and environments.
• Understand how an organization’s physical and cyber security resources and stakeholders can align with the NIST CSF as a tool to achieve holistic security risk management.

Gain business insight with Continuous Controls MonitoringEmma Kelly
Audit, Risk and Compliance managers have both an obligation and an opportunity to help their companies manage the most critical risks the current environment has either created or magnified. Now more than ever, organizations need to transform internal controls testing process from a manual collection of evidence to fine-grained monitoring controls that track user access to sensitive functions / data, system configurations, master data and transactions in
business-critical systems.
Continuously monitoring your business in real-time with actionable insight visible on drill-down, modern, dynamic dashboards allows for completeness and accuracy as well as time-efficient, cost-effective risk management decisions.
In this session, you will learn how Continuous Monitoring together with effective controls can prevent business losses and reduce the cost of audits. We will share best practices and provide case studies of clients that have automated monitoring controls in business-critical applications such as Oracle E-Business Suite and Oracle Cloud ERP to prevent risks in significant business processes such as Procure-to-Pay, Order-to-Cash, Hire-to-Retire, and Financial Record-to-Report.
Join Oracle GRC pioneers Appssurance Founder and CEO Brian O’Neil and SafePaaS CEO Adil Khan.
One of the most daunting challenges organizations face in making decisions on what technology is needed to fully enable the business to achieve its strategy and objectives. The key is ALIGNMENT.

The Journey to Integrated Risk Management: Lessons from the Field Resolver Inc.
In a rapidly changing world, companies struggle to keep up with constantly shifting compliance and risk exposure, both external and internal. Regulatory pressure and increasing executive demand for risk insight present evolving challenges for risk, audit, and compliance professionals who are being asked to do more with less. Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) tools help organizations integrate their assurance activities across the three lines of defense, enable more efficient and effective assurance programs, and ultimately sustain the programs. Companies at the beginning of the GRC technology implementation lifecycle often fail to think through all of the components and key activities necessary to ensure a successful initiative. Those that forge ahead without analysis and planning may find that they missed opportunities to converge their risk and compliance programs, their business processes were not ready for automation, the new technology doesn’t work as anticipated, and timelines for completion can’t be met. In fact, without proper planning, companies may not be using GRC tools to their full potential and realizing the value promised to management and key stakeholders.
Despite claims to the contrary, the need for governance does not disappear for agile projects. Your project sponsors have a right to know the status of the health and risk of their investments. But trying to blend traditional agile methods such as Scrum with traditional stage gate approaches can cause frustration for both project teams and their stakeholders. Disciplined Agile (DA2.0) provides straightforward and common sense ideas for applying governance in a lightweight fashion for agile projects. DA2.0 has been adopted organization-wide in some very large companies and in many cases the primary motivations have been related to its hybrid method approach as well as the built-in governance that it provides.
In this talk Rod reviews the four DAD lifecycles along with their associated phases and milestones. He will explain which milestones are highly recommended vs those that are considered optional. He will show how a lightweight Vision statement created in Inception can be used as a governance mechanism for moderating uncontrolled change that often happens on agile projects.
How to Grasp terminologies like Strategy and operation in basic level, and demonstrate this understanding in real life , i am taking the hand for how the strategy and operation should work together for safe and sustainable business run
As organizations assess the security of their information systems, the need for automation has become more and more apparent. Not only are organizations attempting to automate their assessments, the need is becoming more pressing to perform assessments centrally against large numbers of enterprise systems. Penetration testers can use this automation to make their post-exploitation efforts more thorough, repeatable, and efficient. Defenders need to understand the techniques attackers are using once an initial compromise has occurred so they can build defenses to stop the attacks. Microsoft's PowerShell scripting language has become the defacto standard for many organizations looking to perform this level of distributed automation. In this presentation James Tarala, of Enclave Security, will describe to students the enterprise capabilities PowerShell offers and show practical examples of how PowerShell can be used to perform large scale penetration tests of Microsoft Windows systems.
Enterprise PowerShell for Remote Security AssessmentsEnclaveSecurity
As organizations assess the security of their information systems, the need for automation has become more and more apparent. Not only are organizations attempting to automate their assessments, the need is becoming more pressing to perform assessments centrally against large numbers of enterprise systems. Forensic analysts, incident handlers, penetration testers, and auditors all regularly find themselves in situations where they need to remotely assess a large number of systems through an automated set of tools. Microsoft’s PowerShell scripting language has become the defacto standard for many organizations looking to perform this level of distributed automation. In this presentation James Tarala, of Enclave Security, will describe to students the enterprise capabilities PowerShell offers and show practical examples of how PowerShell can be used to perform large scale Windows security assessments.
An Introduction to PowerShell for Security AssessmentsEnclaveSecurity
With the increased need for automation in operating systems, every platform now provides a native environment for automating repetitive tasks via scripts. Since 2007, Microsoft has gone “all in” with their PowerShell scripting environment, providing access to every facet of the Microsoft Windows operating system and services via a scriptable interface. Not only can administrators completely administer and audit an operating system from this shell, but most all Microsoft services, such as Exchange, SQL Server, and SharePoint services as well. In this presentation James Tarala of Enclave Security will introduce students to using PowerShell scripts for assessing the security of thee Microsoft services. Auditors, system administrators, penetration testers, and others will all learn practical techniques for using PowerShell to assess and secure these vital Windows services.
Utilizing the Critical Security Controls to Secure Healthcare TechnologyEnclaveSecurity
The development of the Critical Security Controls is transforming the way companies measure and monitor the success of their security programs while drastically reducing the cost of security. Fifteen of the twenty controls can be automated, some at limited cost to the organization, and the data is readily available to be presented in conference rooms and board rooms. Upon implementing, hospitals will have the ability to measure compliance, track progress, and know when they’ve reached certain goals.
They were developed and agreed upon by a consortium including NSA, US Cert, DoD JTF-GNO, the Department of Energy Nuclear Laboratories, Department of State, DoD Cyber Crime Center as well as the top commercial forensics experts and pen testers serving the banking and critical infrastructure communities. Since the US State Department implemented these controls they have demonstrated “more than 80% reduction in ‘measured’ security risk through the rigorous automation and measurement of the Top 20 Controls.”
Information Assurance Metrics: Practical Steps to MeasurementEnclaveSecurity
Show up to a security presentation, walk away with a specific action plan. In this presentation, James Tarala, a senior instructor with the SANS Institute, will be presenting on making specific plans for information assurance metrics in an organization. Clearly this is an industry buzzword at the moment when you listen to presentations on the 20 Critical Controls, NIST guidance, or industry banter). Security professionals have to know that their executives are discussing the idea. So exactly how do you integrate information assurance metrics into action in an organization and actually achieve value from the effort. Learn what efforts are currently underway in the industry to create consensus metrics guides and what initial steps an organization can take to start measuring the effectiveness of their security program. Small steps are better than no steps, and by the end of this presentation, students will have a start integrating metrics into their information assurance program.
The intersection of cool mobility and corporate protectionEnclaveSecurity
Cool Mobility in business terms is mobile productivity. It enables a workforce to have instant access to information through mobile applications anywhere, anytime. People are fundamentally changing the way they work, and in order to remain competitive, organizations are making enterprise applications accessible through mobile devices. But, what about the confidential data? How do we audit those mobile devices? This presentation will provide a streamline approach to auditing endpoint security on mobile devices.
The SANS Institute, in collaboration with the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) have recently released updates to the 20 Critical Controls / Consensus Audit Guidelines. These updates are based on industry changes and new attack signatures which have been collected over the previous 18 months from those directly involved on the front lines of stopping targeted cyber-attacks. This presentation will share details on the changes to the most recent version of the controls and share insights into the development of the controls, future evolutions, along with practical tips collected from organizations actively involved in implementing these controls.
More practical insights on the 20 critical controlsEnclaveSecurity
This presentation is for both alumni of the SANS 440 / 566 courses on the 20 Critical Controls and anyone considering implementing these controls in their organizations. Since the first version of the 20 Critical Controls were released, many organizations internationally have been considering implementing these controls as guideposts and metrics for effectively stopping directed attacks. Some organizations have been doing this effectively, others have struggled. This presentation will give case studies of organizations that have implemented these controls, what they have learned from their implementations about what works and what does not work practically. Not only will the discussion focus around what organizations are doing to implement the controls, but also what vendors are doing to help automate the controls and the status of resources and projects in the industry. Students will walk away with even more tools to be effective with their implementations.
Are we near the point of cyber-armageddon or are we simply engaged in a new reality of information security priorities? Are the attacks being discovered daily against private sector and public federal systems somehow unique and new, or are they simply the new reality of cyberspace? Organizations are regularly forced to make difficult decisions about how best to protect their information systems. Executives daily open the newspaper to find another example of effective cyber attacks and hacking. How do organizations know when security mechanisms are enough to keep their data safe? In an effort to answer this question and respond to mounting cyber incidents worldwide, the US federal government has been engaging in numerous efforts to secure cyberspace. But what are they and will they be enough? In this presentation James Tarala, a Senior Instructor with the SANS Institute and a Principal Consultant at Enclave Security, will describe current efforts and the tools being offered to help citizens and protect cyberspace.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.
Governance, Risk, & Compliance (GRC) is more than a catchy acronym – it is an approach to business culture. GRC is a three-legged stool that is necessary to effectively manage and steer the organization. This presentation will provide an introduction to GRC and discuss the collaboration and sharing of information, assessments, metrics, risks, policies, training, and losses across business roles and processes. GRC helps identify interrelationships in today’s complex and distributed business environment.
