Facing Our Ultimate Threat, or My Girlfriend is Going to Get Me Hacked

Robert Hansen, CEO, Founder, SecTheory

When it comes to security, consumers have been left behind. As web tools encourage more and more social interaction and information sharing, web users are tempted to speed past warnings, click on the cute or the cool, inadvertently give away critical information, and put your entire system at risk. In this funny, informative keynote, you will be challenged to rethink what it means to protect systems and data in the 21st Century.

Mr. Hansen (CISSP) has worked for Digital Island, Exodus Communications and Cable & Wireless in varying roles, from senior security architect to product manager for many of the managed security services product lines. He has also worked at eBay as a Senior Global Product Manager of Trust and Safety, focusing on anti-phishing, anti-DHTML malware and anti-virus strategies.

Mr. Hansen authors content on O'Reilly and Dark Reading, and co-authored the book, XSS Attacks: Cross Site Scripting Exploits and Defense. He is a member of a NIST.gov focus group and others. He also speaks at SourceBoston, Secure360, Blackhat, DefCon and Networld+Interop.

GENERAL SESSION

Thursday, October 2, 2008 - 1:45 pm

Situation Room: Data Breach

Modeled on the concept of the White House Situation Room, this session takes the audience through a data breach simulation. We have all heard numerous stories about nightmares faced by public and private organizations after the loss of sensitive information. The odds are against it happening to you, but what if it does? No one wants to be front page news - at least not in this way. It will never be possible to protect 100% of all data, but it is possible to set priorities and to be prepared...and to stay out of the headlines! This thought-provoking session focuses on how to prevent a data breach, how to react to a loss should it occur, and last but not at all least, how and when to disclose it.
