Digital Forensics Triage and Cyber SecurityAmrit Chhetri
Digital Forensics and Forensics Triage are important concepts in cyber security. Forensics Triage is the process of collecting, analyzing, and prioritizing digital evidence during an investigation. It aims to increase efficiency and reduce costs. There are different types of Forensics Triage including live and postmortem triage. Automating Forensics Triage using tools can further improve the process. Operational technology forensics related to industrial control systems also requires Forensics Triage. Standard tools and newer automated tools can be used for Forensics Triage.
Solving ICS Cybersecurity Challenges in the Electric IndustryDragos, Inc.

Understanding Zero Trust Security for IBM iPrecisely
As security threats continue to evolve and increase, companies need to also adapt their approach to IT security. One important concept that is gaining in popularity and adoption is zero trust security. The main concept behind the zero trust security model is "never trust, always verify,” which means that devices should not be trusted by default, even if they are connected to a permissioned network such as a corporate LAN and even if they were previously verified.
Zero Trust means moving beyond a perimeter security strategy. As companies offer customers and business partners new digital experiences and processes, networks can be local, in the cloud, or a combination or hybrid with resources anywhere as well as workers in any location. This dynamic is impacting IBM i customers and zero trust security is an important element of a modern security strategy.
Join us for this webcast to hear about:
• Understanding zero trust security concepts
• Zero trust security in the real world
• Zero trust security for IBM i environments

Cryptocurrency exchanges offer challenges to even the most seasoned data scientists, security engineers and financial analysts. Everything from customer due diligence to predictive analytics to cybersecurity to illicit activity tracking requires both techniques and data that are unique to cryptocurrency and often hard to obtain. The ease by which dishonest exchanges can inflate trading volumes and the difficulty of obtaining approval for custody solutions presents hurdles when seeking formal regulatory approval. Advancements in Deep Fake videos and highly targeted phishing campaigns have tipped the scales in favor of attackers, keeping security teams constantly trying to stay one step ahead of adversaries and leaving enforcement bodies wondering about what precisely to collect in terms of forensic evidence. My talk will describe how a regulated cryptocurrency spot and futures exchange went from an idea to a fully regulated entity, the challenges we encountered along the way with regard to the design of custody and unique data analytics, and the open research challenges remaining.
