Hacking, Social Engineering and Other Things That Keep Us Awake at Night

Johnny Long, Hacker, Security Expert and Author

The first step in preventing a security problem is to know that a threat exists in the first place. In this fascinating and entertaining presentation, Johnny shows us just what we're up against out there. In his own words: "I am a hacker. I've been a professional hacker for over ten years. I've spent the bulk of my career breaking into computer networks and sliding past security guards to gain access to secure facilities." Johnny is an ethical hacker, however, and he is most definitely on our side. His perspective sheds new light on the security challenges that face us daily.

Stop Reacting: Manage People, Information, and Risk

Michael Santarcangelo, Author, Into the Breach

Information - the lifeblood of the modern organization - is under constant attack. The current approaches to protect information are reactions that make it harder for people to do their jobs and may actually increase risk. We face an epidemic where 1 in 9 adults have had their personal information compromised - information entrusted to organizations. The current methods are not working. It is time to adopt a new way of thinking, and a new way of acting, in an effort to change the way people protect information. This session will discuss the underlying challenge that must be addressed when people are disconnected from the consequences of their actions. You will learn how to successfully engage, empower, and enable people to take back responsibility and enjoy the success that reduces risk by changing the way people protect information.

NOTE: At the 1:30 pm break, Michael Santarcangelo will be signing copies of his book Into the Breach: Protect Your Business by Managing People, Information and Risk. Copies will be available for purchase at the discounted price of $15. (Cash only, please.)

GENERAL SESSION

How to Avoid that "NY Post Moment"

Security Incident Response: New York Case Studies

How quickly can you respond to a security threat? Data theft, system attacks, operational errors - the list can seem endless. Fortunately, a threat loses its strength once it is identified and understood. Therefore, the key to survival is spotting a threat before it wreaks havoc, and better yet, to prevent it from happening in the first place. This session analyzes several actual incidents with the goal of raising awareness and reducing reaction time.
