You Can't Secure It If ...

As wireless devices proliferate and automation changes the way we work, assessing cyber security risk has become increasingly more complex.  In this seminar, we will step through some of the issues encountered in client assessments:  You can't secure it if you don't know it's there, you don't know how it works, you don't know who has access to it, and more.

Using the Florida Cyber Range to Develop the Next-Generation of Cybersecurity Defenders: Hands-on Ransomware Training

This will be a “hands-on” event where participants will interact with several Ransomware and Malware samples via the Florida Cyber Range.  The event will focus on threat scenarios, attack vectors and will touch upon mitigation techniques.

Please note: These sessions includes a hand’s-on exercise using remote access into the Florida Cyber Range environment.  Attendees wanting to participate in the exercises must bring a laptop computer to connect to the range via a WiFi connection.  All activity will be accomplished within the cyber range via a web-browser, so there is no risk of compromise to participants’ systems.

The Cyber Range infrastructure will be provided by the Florida Cyber Range in cooperation with the University of West Florida and Metova CyberCENTS. The Florida Cyber Range is a state-of-the-art platform for hands-on cybersecurity education, training, operations and research hosted out of the UWF Center for Cybersecurity, a National Center of Academic Excellence (CAE) and the NSA/DHS CAE Regional Resource Center for the Southeast region.  The Florida Cyber Range consists of Metova CyberCENTS Cyber Operations Enhanced Network and Training Simulators (CENTS®) technologies.  The pre-programmed traffic/attacks will be provided by the Metova Sentinel, Legion, AutoBuild, Myrmidon, Reconstitution (SLAM-R©) cyber effect appliance.  The emulated internet will be provided by the Metova Range Global Internet (RGI®) appliance.

Building a Sustainable Tech Community in the Panhandle

How do we keep young talent local (in North FL).  What strategies work in building a sustainable pipeline to bring a community solution for startups, established businesses and government?  What efforts work in community building and partnerships?  You cannot do it alone and the process requires looking at all approaches (and inviting all interested parties) to broadening their impact by creating partnerships between with businesses, workforce organizations, educational institutions, nonprofit groups, students (k-16) and community leaders.  The talk will explore our efforts over the last 5 years in building a university partnership to keep talent local, to showcase and support local tech businesses, and to create a community that attract young people.

Organizational health for technical teams: A competitive advantage

This presentation will cover the importance of maintaining organizational health in a fast-growing company.  Most companies begin with a clear direction, supported by the small size and ubiquitous communications required just to survive. Corporate health and culture can suffer if leaders are not intentional and consistent in their efforts to develop leaders and build trust as the company grows.  Technical organizations are especially susceptible to challenges since the distance between non-technical leadership and technical resources can naturally widen.​

I was the First Edward Snowden - A Perspective on NSA, Privacy, and Snowden from a former NSA Analyst

Jeff Man - Cyber Security Evangelist

NSA takes very seriously its mandate to do "what NSA does" against foreign entities and NOT U.S. citizens. The rules were clarified in the late 70's in the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA). FISA was written after the findings of the "Church Proceedings" were published as part of the fallout of the Watergate scandal. In 1996 I was investigated for violating NSA's charter when I led a forensic team to help the Dept. of Justice after their website was defaced. I will share the story of how I was almost fired from NSA for violating the same law that NSA has been accused of violating based on the information disclosed by Edward Snowden several years ago, which is why I'm sometimes heard to say, "I was the first Edward Snowden". The goal is to shed some light on how NSA really operates, from someone who used to be on the inside, in order to take the whole Snowden debate to a different level. I do not intend to sway anyone's opinion, but merely want to offer some details that should help anyone make a more informed decision about NSA, its mission, and the laws by which it is governed.

Cyber – I Do Not Think It Means What You Think It Means!

Do you suffer from hyper-cyber-itis? Good news there is a cure!

Details…

Cyber – I Do Not Think It Means What You Think It Means!

Be honest – do you cringe when you hear others using the word “cyber?” You are not alone. And now that the media uses “cyber” in every conceivable context, the public is completely confused. If you ask ten people what “cyber” means, you will get ten different answers! Many in our profession continue to perpetuate these lexical faux pas, parroting what they hear without fully understanding the meaning of what they are saying. At many talks, attendees play games often betting on the number of times “cyber” will be used in each talk!

As specialists in information security, we should be choosing our words carefully and conveying the clear meaning of those words. Allowing the media and other non-technical people to dictate the language we use to describe the intricacies of our profession leads to more harm than good. The InfoSec world is changing rapidly and we should be the ones leading the way. Using the proper language is critical to better understanding for everyone.

This talk will dig into the evolution of the use of “cyber” while attempting define the proper terms we all should be using to describe the various realms of our profession. We will examine these realms and set a solid lexical foundation that will help us all be better prepared when explaining highly technical concepts to the average non-technical person. The goal – better security for everyone.

Does DoD Level Security Work in the Real World?

Explore ways that a DoD-centric approach to data security might be implemented in the private sector.

Details…

Does DoD Level Security Work in the Real World?

After spending nearly 13 years working for the Department of Defense, I ventured out into the private sector to consult and advise on matters of information security. On many occasions, after explaining some basic security concept to a customer and outlining what they need to do to be secure,I often heard the retort, “yeah, but we don’t need DoD level security.” Well, after twenty years in the private sector, and especially over the past 2-3 years with the proliferation of data breaches against major companies, I find myself wanting to reply, “yeah, you really DO need DoD level security!”

What does this mean? Probably not what you are thinking. This talk will start with an overview of the foundation nature of data security, highlight the major tenets or goals of data security, introduce the risk equation, discuss how and why so many companies so often fail at implementing the basics of data security, and explore some ways that a DoD-centric approach to data security might be implemented in the private sector. Brainstorming, discussion, dissension all welcome.

The Emerald Coast is home to innovation, technology, and education.  We have the right mix to make it an amazing place to live, work, and grow an industry. Google's offices in Silicon Valley sit on what was once nothing more than agricultural land, Atlanta's booming tech scene is located in a neighborhood once riddled with violence, Austin went from music to innovation.  Any area can foster growth, innovation, investment, and people development as long as it's true to it's roots, focuses on what it does best, and highlights those strengths without trying to be the next Silicon Valley imitation.  I live in Silicon Valley, I sold a tech startup, I grew up in this area, I know better than most what it takes, and this area has what it takes.
