Deral Heiland - Fail Now So I Don't Fail Latercentralohioissa
With network data breaches being reported weekly, it appears our implementation of prevention solutions is failing. With the average time to detect a breach being greater than 6 months our detection solutions also appear to be failing. Maybe these solutions and technologies are working correctly and we are just not training our teams how to manage, maintain, and leverage those solutions effectively. In this presentation I will be discussing security testing and validation methodologies that includes Internal/external pentesting, social engineering, and red team/blue team exercises. In addition I will be covering how using these methodologies we can better prepare and build a more robust security environment that will keep your organization off the front page.
Gary Sheehan - Winning a Battle Doesn't Mean We Are Winning the Warcentralohioissa
In the spirit of Continuous Improvement, we must ask ourselves - Are we doing the best job we can? In this presentation Gary will present some ideas and concepts that can be used to improve the security posture within your organization. These ideas and concepts are not your typical solutions, rather they will force you to make a fundamental change in your approach to implementing security and underlying assumptions about good security practices. This presentation will challenge conventional thinking about how to build a successful security program. After all, what do you have to lose? Are we really winning the cybersecurity war?
Ruben Melendez - Economically Justifying IT Security Initiativescentralohioissa
IT Security Initiatives create strategic and operational value to all enterprises; however, many IT professionals do not know how to economically quantify and forecast the benefits of IT security. Additionally, the new digital business ecosystem is resulting in rapid business cycles, which require faster speed and agility in all IT areas and IT services. The new ecosystem, largely caused by the Internet-of-Things, mobility and the Cloud, create a challenge for selecting and prioritizing IT security tools and projects. This session will present an overview of principles, models, trends and best practices, which can have been adopted by individuals and organizations to get right IT security initiatives approved.

Global regulations are driving the needs for businesses in all sectors to have cybersecurity programs that are designed to fit the organizations risk profile. At the same time, there is a lack of clarity on how much one should spend on managing these risks and the sophistication and number of risk mitigants that are required to manage these risks.
Company executives and board of directors are held personally liable for having the appropriate oversight and management of these controls and are looking for their CISO and CIROs to provide them assurance that these controls are in place and operating effectively. An attempt to balance the requirements and the expectations is a delicate balance. This presentation will look at the regulatory landscape and how this landscape is affecting client, executive, and board-level expectations for cybersecurity risk management. It will also provide some recommendations on how to approach the development of a cybersecurity risk management program.
Bill Lisse - Communicating Security Across the C-Suitecentralohioissa
CISO's are increasingly being included in Board and Executive discussions. Skills for developing CISOs need to include soft skills, including the ability to communicate across the executive table. This presentation is about the sell versus the tell.
In 2015, phishing related breaches dominated security news headlines, and will likely remain the leading initial point-of-entry method for 2016. Not surprisingly an upswing in security awareness spending has paralleled the rise in phishing. In this presentation we dive deep into the largest data pool of human phishing susceptibility and also new research about phishing awareness. We will also look at phishing from the attacker’s point of view and look for opportunities to be better defenders.
Let’s examine the evidence and decide if awareness is the problem. Why do users who are aware of phishing continue to fall for it? What are some of the most successful phishing themes? What are some common response rates? And finally, what can conditioned informants (your co-workers) reporting suspicious emails bring to the table?
NESCO Town Hall Workforce Development PresentationEnergySec
Moderated and Presented by Andy Bochman
Discussion Topic: Workforce Development in the ICS WorkPlace
Discussion Abstract: Ask anyone working in the field at an electric utility about cybersecurity and the conversation will inevitably turn to the shortage of a qualified security staff with knowledge of our industry. The need to comply with NERC CIP standards, secure the rapidly proliferating smart grid technologies, and defend against the threat of cyber attacks targeting control systems, makes the short supply of cybersecurity talent is a critical issue.
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.
Presented by Patrick Miller, The Anfield Group and Jason Ile, Tripwire
Abstract: This presentation emphasis the importance of building an environment where compliance is a natural byproduct of effective security controls.

Cybersecurity for Energy: Moving Beyond ComplianceEnergySec
Presented by: Gib Sorebo, SAIC
Abstract: For the last few years, energy companies, particularly electric utilities, have been scrambling to meet the onslaught of cybersecurity regulations. However, hackers don’t follow regulations, so the need to rapidly address evolving threats is imperative to meet expectations of senior leadership, board members, and shareholders. This session will discuss how a mature governance structure and a cybersecurity strategy based on a comprehensive understanding of business risk can be used to address threats, comply with regulations, and obtain support from company stakeholders.
Presented by: John Fleker, HP
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.

Cybersecurity 2014: The Impact of Policies and Regulations on Companies by Andrea Almeida from the First Semi-Annual Cyber Security Conference in Plano, Texas held September 26-27, 2014.
Establishing an insider threat programme: Know your Snowden - Puneet Kukreja,...Puneet Kukreja
Insider threat seems to be one of the biggest risks for organisations looking to protect their data assets. Enterprises spend large proportion of their budget to secure and protect their most critical assets from exfiltration and leakage. However, it's not all about nation state and espionage, it's about identifying potential insider threat scenarios, understanding the organisation’s critical assets and the controls to protect them.
With the recent spate of data breaches originating from trusted insiders, how do enterprises ensure their data assets are safe from insider threat and appropriate controls are in place?
What models have been implemented to identify potential insider threat scenarios?
Which critical data assets must be safeguarded?
What combination of technologies are required to protect against insider threat?
Is there a psychology element?
The session seeks to answer these questions by sharing experience from two use cases; one which approached the problem from a technical perspective, and the other using consolidation of existing technology data sets.
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?

20220512 MER2022 Professional Development for the Information ProfessionalJesse Wilkins
This presentation, delivered on May 12, 2022 at the MER 2022 conference in Indianapolis, IN, outlined an approach to building a personal professional development plan.
In this webinar, Toby Ward, President and CEO of Prescient Digital Media describes our process for creating an intuitive, visually-appealing intranet design that employees will actually want to use.
View the webinar recording: http://www.prescientdigital.com/articles/view-how-to-undertake-an-intranet-redesign
SUMMARY:
Undertaking an intranet redesign can be a complicated but rewarding experience. With so many stakeholders to appease, many intranet professionals find themselves in over their heads when trying to take on projects of this size and complexity on their own.
Success at redesigning your intranet is as much about preparation and planning as it is execution. Often, the most successful intranet projects are those that involve key stakeholders from the get-go, as employees are much more likely to use something they help create. This can work wonders for long-term adoption and participation.
Having the right plan is essential to getting the end result you desire - an intuitive, visually-appealing intranet design that employees will actually want to use.
DISCUSSION TOPICS INCLUDE:
- Key considerations and best practices for every intranet redesign project (getting executive support, gathering business requirements, and establishing your strategic direction).
- What makes a great intranet design, and how do you get there?
- Strategies for getting buy-in from your colleagues.
- Lessons from some of the world's best intranet designs.
AUDIENCE:
This webinar is perfect for all internal communications professionals, including those that are considering (or are in the middle of) an intranet redesign project.

Testing in the Year 2020: The Erosion of Governance, Management, and ExcellenceTechWell
Competition is driving our business and IT partners to be ever more nimble. And Byron Glick and Jithesh Ramachandran say that the growing agility is eroding the old foundations of testing—test management, project governance, and centers of excellence. An organization pursuing lean startup approaches may reduce or eliminate traditional planning cycles and the related test management and governance. But all is not lost. Understanding why those foundations were effective in their time points to new foundations that will carry us forward into the new world of testing, technology, and society—in 2020 and beyond. The coordination and insight created with traditional test planning, management, and reporting are still needed, but new modes of partnership, alignment, value creation may be better fits for the way our organizations now work. Byron and Jithesh are seasoned explorers of this new, ever-changing landscape. Come join the conversation and build your own kit for finding a path forward in the absence of our most familiar landmarks.
this presentation, Erika Van Noort, Director of our North American Consulting practice and Steve McDonald, Director of our Networking Business covered with our clients how to get to collaboration success and benefit from true ROI from UC investments:
Why Culture Eats UC&C Strategies for Lunch: We reviewed the findings of Softchoice’s latest study – “Working Hard or Hardly Networking: The Impact of Communications Tools on Employees”. We explored the power of visioning in creating effective UC&C strategies and getting beyond TCO to look at new measures of success.
Cisco vs. Microsoft: The Great Debate: We explored the latest Microsoft and Cisco UC&C solutions and provided the decision making framework on when organizations should choose a particular solution and the pros and cons for each.
The Art of the Possible – Using real life examples, we wrapped up the session discussing how Softchoice is helping clients augment their existing network, voice, presence, IM and video investments to deliver widely adopted collaboration experiences that drive enhanced productivity and new business opportunities.

Building Application Security programs from scratch or dropping into existing organizations with some AppSec functions can be a war zone. As practitioners are on the front lines of implementing AppSec programs, there is no one-size fits all or a magic supplier who can come in and solve all opportunities. It takes a dedicated staff to drive an effective program beyond the check the box mentality, with a critical focus on security culture.
Through the talk, I'd like to provide insight into the nuances of dealing with different environments large to small and the associated lessons learned to help drive the culture of security to truly provide defensive capabilities and empower the organization.

Jake Williams - Navigating the FDA Recommendations on Medical Device Security...centralohioissa
In January, the FDA has draft recommendations for medical device security after the sale. Among other things, the recommendations tell manufacturers how to evaluate security risks, how to build a program for coordinated vulnerability disclosure program, and how to intake vulnerability reports from researchers. While the security of medical devices is especially important given the potential consequences, we can learn from the FDA recommendations regardless of our industry. Any recommendations adopted by the FDA for medical devices are likely to be implemented across other verticals for their IoT devices as well. Whether you manufacture, purchase, integrate, implement, or generally try to run away from IoT devices, there’s plenty to take away from this session while learning about the future of IoT device security.

Robert Hurlbut - Threat Modeling for Secure Software Designcentralohioissa
Threat modeling is a way of thinking about what could go wrong and how to prevent it. Instinctively, we all think this way in regards to our own personal security and safety. When it comes to building software, some software shops either skip the important step of threat modeling in secure software design or, they have tried threat modeling before but haven't quite figured out how to connect the threat models to real world software development and its priorities. In this session, you will learn practical strategies in using threat modeling in secure software design and how to apply risk management in dealing with the threats.
Harry Regan - Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity - "It's never so bad ...centralohioissa
Disaster recovery, emergency response and business continuity plans are usually developed when no disaster exists. We think we’ve covered all contingencies. We think we’ve trained all the appropriate players. We’ve tested. We’ve re-tested. We think we’re ready to face whatever event there is looming out their with our name on it! The real world has a nasty habit of triggering disasters at the least opportune time, often featuring a twist that throws plans into disarray.
This presentation focuses on three real-world plans, each of which with a fatal flaw. We will discuss elements that should be in a plan beyond the normal guidance from the Disaster Recovery Institute (DRI) and a set of actions that should be included in planning and preparation.
Rafeeq Rehman - Breaking the Phishing Attack Chaincentralohioissa
Many security research reports show that phishing is significant contributing factor to data breaches. Verizon data breach investigations report (DBIR) shows that attackers used phishing as their entry point in two third of the security incidents, especially in cyber espionage category.

The good news is that understanding the phishing attack chain helps in stopping these attacks, break the phishing chain, and avert a data breach. This session is to understand different phases of phishing attacks and developing a comprehensive strategy to manage risk associated with these attacks.
Oliver Schuermann - Integrated Software in Networking - the Mystery of SDNcentralohioissa
For the past several years, software-defined networking (SDN) has been a popular buzz word in the networking industry. In many ways, networking has always been defined by software. Software is pervasive within all of the technology that impacts our lives and networking is no different. However, networks have been constrained by the way software has been configured, delivered and managed—literally within a box, updated monolithically, managed through command lines that are reminiscent to the days of minicomputers and DOS in the 1980’s. Well, almost.

Michael Woolard - Gamify Awareness Training: Failure to engage is failure to ...centralohioissa
We call it security awareness training, but all we ever give our employees is regurgitated knowledge. Their passwords suck, public wifi is bad, and email is deceiving. Mix in some yearly reviews of policies and procedures and you have the perfect recipe for an employee who stopped listening hours ago. You don't truly learn something until you understand "why" and that comes when employees are engaged and motivated. This is my take on how to engage through gaming and why it works.
Ed McCabe - Putting the Intelligence back in Threat Intelligencecentralohioissa
What is Threat Intelligence? It's more than raw source feeds and technical information.
If you ask most vendors, they talk about their lists of "bad" IP addresses and domain names, which don't enable the business to make informed decisions on assessing risk and taking action; it lacks -- well, intelligence.
We'll cover what Threat Intelligence is, why analysis is an important factor and methods available to analyze raw data.

Sam Herath - Six Critical Criteria for Cloud Workload Securitycentralohioissa
Modern elastic cloud infrastructure is fundamentally breaking traditional security approaches. Public cloud has no natural perimeter and network segmentation leaving individual cloud servers exposed. In private cloud, malicious East-West traffic inside the network is a serious threat. As new workloads are added and retired dynamically, change control is difficult, and updating granular firewall rules and security policies becomes a risky, manual process. Join us and learn the 6 Critical Criteria to secure your public, private or hybrid cloud – on-demand, anywhere, at any scale.
