Zero Trust isn’t Just for Politics Anymore: As we approach November, the United States finds itself in the crosshairs of a new peril. Authoritarian forces and other adversaries have weaponized the fifth domain of warfare — cyberspace — against the very fabric of democracy. As the election process ramps up, organizations engaged in the political process must strengthen cybersecurity to prevent chaos and disorder from carrying the day. In so doing, they face unprecedented challenges. This presentation will explore the players in the Digital Election Infrastructure. It recommends that government agencies and political campaigns adopt the zero-trust model for cybersecurity in every context by tackling 7 priorities for election security. Presenter: Dan Blum, Managing Partner, Security Architects Partners.
Is Security Really Everyone’s Job? How to Analyze, Then Optimize Your Enterprise: We have always said “security is everyone’s job,” but ask any CISO who has a team that is overwhelmed with last minute security projects and assessments and they will tell you otherwise. CISO’s and security teams don’t have to feel left out on an island anymore. In this brief discussion, Ryan will share what some of the most progressive CISO’s are doing to make this a reality within their enterprises. Presenter: Ryan Corey, Co-Founder, CEO, Cybrary.
A Day in the Life of a “Shecurity” Researcher: Ever wonder what it means to be a security researcher? This session reviews topics and trends in the current cyber threat landscape and offers an insider’s look at what a typical day looks like (hint: typical is not really a thing in cyber!) with a discussion of the types of threat intel she relies upon. The presenter will also share stories and lessons learned from her journey as a career changer in the field with thoughts on certifications, education, and gaining experience. Presenter: Marcelle Lee, Senior Security Researcher, Secureworks and Adjunct Professor, Digital Forensics & Network Security.
How Security Teams Can Successfully Integrate with Legal & Privacy: A security researcher, a tech lawyer, and a privacy lawyer walk into a bar… here’s how and why we should shift the story from becoming a punch line to saving time. Syncing early, and often, between the information security, legal, and privacy groups enables teams to develop agile processes, protect resources, and minimize risks. Join us as we share strategic planning and lessons learned on ways to coordinate, collaborate, and move forward from a segmented approach to an integrated approach that builds in iterative conversations and known processes. Presenters: Suchi Pahi, Attorney, Data Privacy & Cybersecurity, a Director of Privacy and Business Affairs at Rally Health, Inc., and Elizabeth (Liz) Wharton, Chief of Staff, SCYTHE, and Attorney, Public Policy Technology & Business.
