Presentation details:
State of the Hack by Rob Lee, 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm
This "straight from the battlefield" presentation will provide case studies that describe in detail the most recent computer security incidents Mandiant has responded to on behalf of the organizations. The three or four anonymous in-depth case studies will be covered about the recent complex hacks against commercial, government, and financial organizations. The talk will go into how the intruders are gaining access, what they are doing, and a discussion of the malware used in the attacks.
Geekonomics by David Rice, 8:00 pm - 9:00 pm
The security market is broken. Current statistics on cyber crime and cyber espionage tell an appalling tale of failure across the board, from government to private sector. Never before have we had so many tools and practices in cyber security and yet seen such insufficient results. When good, competent people appear to fail regularly, we know from epidemiology that "the people" are likely not the problem; the system is. This talk argues from first principles of economics and social psychology why the current approach to cyber security needs to change and how to change it.
Come join the Central Florida ISSA and network with peers, earn CPE credits, learn, eat and maybe even win something! Don't forget to register for the event and thanks for doing so.
