Course Scenario: Remote work, combined with cloud adoption and unprecedented employee turnover, has created a perfect storm for organizations trying to protect their most strategic and sensitive data. Insider threats are the top cybersecurity concern among CISOs globally. As the Data Loss Prevention (DLP) and Insider Threat Management (ITM) markets converge, a people-centric approach is required to fuel your cybersecurity strategy. The primary objective of both sets of technology is to prevent data loss and misuse of data. DLP monitors file activity and leverages content scanning to determine whether users are handling sensitive data according to corporate policy. ITM monitors user activities such as application usage, user input/output, website access and file movement. It also captures screenshots of high-risk activity for visual evidence to accelerate investigations.

In this free workshop, you will learn:

• Best practices on how to protect people and defend data!

• How to detect and respond to potential insider threats!

• How to investigate insider threat and data loss incidents!

• How to stop data loss through cloud sharing tools and personal webmail; And much more!

Participant Requirements: In order to participate in the hands-on lab, you will need to bring your own personal laptop.

Speaker Topics

Marlon Harris — "Being Cyber"

There is a broad misconception that you have to be some ‘super brainiac’, overly gifted individual to take on a career in cyber. While there are disciplines to be learned, Cyber is a dynamic, evolving ecosystem that just requires its tenants to continue learning. I hope to share how many can shape their thinking into joining the ‘Cyber’ ranks. Many may discover that their hidden talents are brought to life in this field.

Rachael Schweizer & Jon Bagg — "A Cyber Leader's Guide to Safely Adopting AI"

Generative AI is invading every aspect of Enterprise technology. Join us for a discussion of top risks presented by the current wave of generative AI; then, hear from a local cyber leader on her organization’s approach to enabling the business to use AI safely.

Speaker Topics

Jeffrey Sweet - "Supply Chain Risk, It’s Not Just About Cyber Security""

In this session, Jeffrey will discuss Supply Chain Risk and the variety of elements that factor into that risk:

• Supply Chain Risk is greater than Cyber Security Risk

• How do you decide what is risky to your business?

• How much risk is acceptable?

• How do you evaluate the risk?

• How do you track risk?

• Who is responsible for responding to the risk?

• How do you track risk and for how long?

These are all questions that will be answered during this presentation.

Jennifer “JJ” Minella - "CISO's Briefing for Securing IoT"

Managing the sprawl of IoT is like trying to catch a fish with your bare hands. With today’s leading guidance in theory, most CISOs, security architects, and network engineers are struggling to find meaningful and actionable guidance.

In this session, JJ will share:

• How to categorize/classify different IoT for security program purposes, including a common vendor-neutral lexicon you can use for your environment.

• Applying Zero Trust principles to IoT: Addressing identity, authentication, authorization and segmentation across different types of IoT.

• Creating policy for IoT devices in the enterprise to address risk, use cases, and compliance.

Both journeys will offers paths utilizing free and low cost resources for training and certification and suggestions on how to plug into various communities. Journey #3 will be the path for the mid market security leader trying to compete with the enterprise organization to hire security resources- what are some local programs to plug in with, what are some local companies doing interesting things to emulate, what do you need to be open to in order to be competitive?

The session will conclude with a conversation about how traditional cybersecurity governance can be adapted to this new paradigm and ways in which it will need to change.TBD

Jeff Crume - “Adversarial AI - Lying Chatbots, Deep Fakes and more …”

This presentation will explore the potential dangers of adversarial AI, lying chatbots, and deep fakes. We will discuss how these technologies are becoming more sophisticated and how they can be used to deceive people, spread disinformation, and even cause harm. Through real-world examples and demonstrations, we will explore the implications of these technologies for society in order to gain a better understanding of these emerging technologies and the risks they pose.
