Developing a Continuous Monitoring Action PlanTripwire
At the direction of OMB and NIST, security and IT pros in federal government must develop plans to implement "continuous monitoring," the practice of using IT security controls to constantly monitor and manage the security status of their information systems and networks. The transition from static security to continuous monitoring requires a new approach to IT security, and IT teams must devise a strategy and roadmap to be successful.
In this editorial Webcast, cybersecurity experts will help discuss the tools and processes involved in moving from a traditional security environment to one designed around continuous monitoring. This Webcast will help government IT pros:
Understand the objectives of continuous monitoring, such as reduced threat exposure through real time risk assessment and response.
Identify the steps involved, including determining the security impact of changes to IT systems and producing assessment reports.
Assess system requirements in areas such as malware detection and event and incident management.
Determine the need for upgrades and investment in new technologies.

Holger Mueller of Constellation Research shares his key takeaways from Salesforce's Dreamforce conference, held in San Francisco from October 4th till 7th 2016
Information technology is a complex business, at best. While IT can provide amazing benefits, it still requires vigilance and diligence to ensure it is running correctly and that it is secure. A security framework can be an excellent tool to evaluate what you might be missing and confirm that what you are already doing is spot-on correct. This session will discuss the importance of using security frameworks and walk attendees through the NIST Cyber Security Framework to review how the framework functions, how to use a framework, and most importantly, how the use of a framework can and will benefit their organization.
5 Steps to an Effective Vulnerability Management ProgramTripwire
Revelations about recent breaches have certainly put the question to security professionals across the world, “What can I do to prevent an attack from happening?” Current threats are complicated and driven by highly motivated adversaries.
You can’t defend what you don’t know. This can be a big challenge when it comes to network visibility. Many organizations don’t have a true sense of all that is on their network. Network situational awareness represents the foundation of comprehensive vulnerability management.
In this informative webcast, Tripwire and Lumeta provide insight on how to:
-Identify and fingerprint more assets in your environment
-Ensure greater coverage for scanning devices on your network, including BYOD
-Compile a proper and complete inventory of assets, even those that are unused
-Intelligently prioritize vulnerabilities
-Effectively reduce risk on critical systems

finishing touches on this book, Twitter is busy recovering
from the latest very public and newsworthy cybersecurity
incident widely reported in the media. For every one of
these highly publicized breaches there are hundreds of
other damaging cyberattacks experienced by businesses
and government entities. To help organizations protect
themselves against and respond to information security
incidents, many of them turn to the chief information
security officer (CISO) for leadership. The CISO is
becoming the guardian of the modern business, charged
with protecting the organization against security threats
in the digital world.
In today’s business environment, organizations have a responsibility to their employees, clients, and customers to ensure the confidentiality, integrity and availability of the critical data that is entrusted to them. Every network is vulnerable to some form of attack. However it is not enough to simply confirm that a technical vulnerability exists and implement countermeasures; it is critical to repeatedly verify that the countermeasures are in place and working properly throughout the secured network. During this webinar, David Hammarberg, Principal, IT Director, and leader of McKonly & Asbury’s Cybersecurity Practice will be joined by Partner, Michael Hoffner and they will lead a discussion on a Cybersecurity Risk Management Program including what it is and how it can prepare your organization for the future.
Learn how to overcome security challenges, such as: identity theft, spoofed transactions, DDoS business disruption, criminal extortion and more. You'll learn how a security strategy promotes confidence in the cloud.
Solving the CIO’s Cybersecurity DilemmaJohn Gilligan
Solving the CIO’s Cybersecurity Dilemma: 20 Critical Controls for Effective Cyber Defense. a presentation by John M. Gilligan at the National Summit on Planning and Implementing the 20 Critical Controls, held in November 2009.

Extending the 20 critical security controls to gap assessments and security maturity modeling.
Specifically, the controls are decomposed into Base Practices from a Process perspective.
Implementation approaches are viewed from a Robustness perspective.
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.”
Just Trust Everyone and We Will Be Fine, Right?Scott Carlson
As a CISO, you have been asked why you can't just trust your employees to do the right thing. What benefit to the business comes from technical security controls? You have likely been asked to reduce risk and action every funded project at once. In this session, we will realistically consider which projects can reduce risk most quickly, which layers of security are most important, and how things like privilege management, vulnerability control, over-communicating, and simply reducing the attack surface can bring peace of mind and actual direct improvements to your information security posture.
Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

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).

"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.

Security Control Score Component Description
Malware Defenses AVR Anti-Virus Reporting Score based on how recently the device has completed and reported an anti-virus scan
AVS Anti-Virus - Up-to-date Score based on currency of .DAT file versions on anti-virus software
Vulnerability IAR IAVM Reporting Score based on how recently the device has completed and reported a vulnerability scan
Mgmt IAV IAVM Compliance Results Score based on calculated IAVM compliance of the device
Secure SCR Security Compliance Reporting Score based on how recently the device has completed and reported a policy scan
Configuration SCM Security Compliance Score based on Benchmark/STIG and Benchmark/IAVM compliance of the device
Standard SOR SOE Reporting Score based on how recently the device has completed and reported a SOE compliance scan
Operating SOE Standard Operating Score based on compliance of the device against SOE product and version
