Agile Security in a Dynamic World
Abstract: Security is a moving target. The amount of change occuring daily on today’s networks from BYOD devices, new applications, and remote users demands that your security solutions to change with the network composition. And as if the dynamic network wasn’t enough to contend with, the threats are changing as well. Polymorphism and zero-day exploitation by new strains of malware will grow significantly in 2013; so how do we stop what we’ve never seen before?

Title: Assuring Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability with the NIST Risk Management Framework
Abstract: While cybersecurity awareness is deemed an essential element of U.S. national strategy aimed at reducing vulnerability to cyber‐attack, we lack a shared definition and understanding of the term cybersecurity. This presentation promotes the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Risk Management Framework (RMF) as a way all organizations can understand and achieve the core tenets of cybersecurity (i.e., confidentiality, integrity, and availability). By holistically integrating people, process, and technology, the NIST RMF enables organizations to achieve information assurance consistent with mission and risk management objectives.

Title: The Confluence of Data Security Challenges
Abstract: The Speaker will cover the cresting Waves that are engulfing users and security professionals, the BYOD phenomenon and current threats and vulnerabilities around the world.
What has changed in the Hacktivism community is that these individuals and groups are more in sync with their cohorts in the organized crime community in that they not only hack for the sake of hacking an entity that has run afoul of their beliefs but also for monetary gain and these groups, such as Anonymous and LulzSec seem to target anyone who ends up on their radar such as the Australian Government, numerous Chinese Government sites, Stratfor, the CIA, the FTC and many more.
Add to this three-pronged assault on our livelihood the fact that we are engaged in three separate and distinct confluences – mobility, collaboration and the virtualization of our environments. All three of these seem to be cascading at once quite often beleaguering our IT staffs as they try to cope with a train that is traveling at full speed. We’re dealing with BYOD, gravitating into the cloud and wondering about hypervisor attacks. How can I be confident that data center operations are sound?
So, we are in the midst of this confluence so where do we turn?
