The global COVID-19 pandemic forced us to cancel our conference in 2020, but we offered a series of virtual half-day events through October and November.

November 19 Virtual Presentations

Thursday, November 5th, 2:00 PM

Please join us for the fourth in our series of Fall 2020 virtual events. Our speakers will be Miju Han, Dave Shore, and Marty Poniatowski.

Miju Han
Hacker-Powered Data: The Most Common Security Weaknesses and How to Avoid Them
2:00pm ET

Security teams often see a deluge of incoming vulnerabilities from scanners, pen tests, and bug bounty programs. Using eight years of never before seen data from 1,800+ bug bounty programs and over 160,000 valid vulnerabilities found, this talk offers a focus for security teams based on analysis of what hackers actually exploit in the wild and what companies actually value. Attendees will discover common weaknesses such as Violation of Secure Design Principles, Information Disclosure, Denial of Service, VPN and Cryptographic Issues, and how attackers could exploit these prevalent vulnerabilities. Walk away with insights into the most common security weaknesses to better defend against them.

Bio
Miju Han is the Director of Product Management at HackerOne, the #1 hacker-powered security platform, where she leads a team of product managers, data scientists, and engineers to build and launch practical and actionable tooling for security teams. With a background in both data and security, Miju has a keen eye for spotting increased efficiency and automation in modern security practices. Miju previously served as a Director of Product at GitHub, where she pitched and launched security alerts on top of the dependency graph, one of the first large-scale efforts to embed security best practices into core development tooling.

Dave Shore & Marty Poniatowski
Splunk Container-as-a-Service Powered by HPE GreenLake
3:00pm ET

Enterprises in all industries and of all sizes leverage solutions to provide insight into machine-generated data. As enterprises grow, so does the volume of such data and the need to analyze, identify data patterns, provide metrics, diagnose problems and provide intelligence for business operations. Until recently, expanding daily ingest rates required significant investment of time and capital. The infrastructure and operational costs associated with industry leading SIEM solutions often increase the investment cost by 4X above the cost of the software.

Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) has developed a breakthrough solution that has helped the third largest bank in the United States (by Total Assets) scale its machine-generated data ingestion rates from 150TB/day, where its legacy system was breaking, to 400 TB/day, with 99.999% system availability and 99.999999999% data durability. This solution is now scalable and available to meet the requirements of enterprises of all sizes.

Join Dave Shore, Director of HPE GreenLake Cloud Services, and Marty Poniatowski, Senior Director and HPE Chief Technologist, to learn about HPE’s optimized solution for Splunk and its feature benefits, including:

  • A flexible consumption delivery model available as-a-Service, or hosted, allowing organizations to optimize cash flow and focus on their business
  • A unified, scalable solution that eliminates security blind spots with up to 109x the ingestion rate
  • An efficient loosely-coupled architecture that optimizes the footprint and cost with the independent scaling of search heads, indexers, cache storage, and permanent storage
  • The ability to rapidly add new use cases deploying open-source containerized Splunk indexers and search heads in minutes
  • Support for Splunk’s SmartStore architecture of hot as cache and open standard S3 object storage as the system of record

Matt DeMatteo
The Future of Cybersecurity: The Real Ways Data Science Will Transform SecOps
2:30pm – 3:30pm ET

Data science is already transforming many aspects of our business and personal lives, but many in the cyber security do not know how it will change the industry. In this brief talk, I explain how data science is being used to bridge the gap between the threat intelligence typically leveraged by security platforms and the threat intelligence that human experts use. I quickly explore what makes data science-based detection logic different from Boolean-based detection logic, why practitioners will move away from the SIEM event funnel, and how frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK are critical to creating efficiencies for people and machines.

Matt DeMatteo is a Sr. Principal Engineer focused on Secureworks’ Security Products and Services. Matt joined Secureworks in 2007 as a Security Analyst in the Providence, RI SOC. Matt has been working directly with customers for the past ten years as a Presales Engineer, Principal Engineer, Account Manager, and Global Solution Lead for MSS and MDR.

William Malik
The Zero Trust Challenge for Hybrid Cloud
2:00pm – 2:30pm ET

The hybrid cloud now handles much that was formerly done by the in-house IT organization. From an infrastructure and operations perspective however, oversight and management are more challenging than ever. During this talk, we will discuss the elements of conventional I&O that must remain – although transformed – when migrating increasing portions of an organization’s workload to hybrid cloud. We will focus on information security, and in particular the architectural challenge that zero trust places on conventional information security architectures, procedures, staffing, and audit. We will close with some hints and tips to smooth the passage to this superior cybersecurity approach.

David Frier
Data Protection for the Work-From-Home Era
2:30pm – 3:30pm ET

Remember five or more years ago you were scoffing at the people who said the perimeter was gone? Well, now (almost) all your employees work from home, and guess what? Your “perimeter” encloses almost none of where your work gets done. So today we’ll have a survey of methods to protect data that don’t assume or require a perimeter in the traditional sense. DLP, DRM, and Cloud approaches that keep data movement controlled but flexible.

Joint ISSA Chapter / Rochester Security Community Presentation

Thursday, June 4th, 6:00 PM
Cost: Included in ISSA Membership / Open to RSS Audience at No Cost Where: Please RSVP to info@rocissa.org by Monday, June 1st (see below for Zoom link)

Topic: Accelerating and Securing Applications at the Edge

Presentation Summary: In today’s digital economy, the underlying applications and workflows that power organizations must be agile, secure and perform in an optimal manner. As workloads and data move closer to end users, development teams battle legacy infrastructures that are inflexible and unable to scale – slowing down innovation, constricting development cycles and reducing application security and performance. To accelerate and secure modern web experiences, we must rethink how we deploy end-to-end application defenses, ensuring availability and application layer security. Learn how containerized environments can be service-chained to build out a multilayered security policy, giving organizations the flexibility to customize security stacks across best-in-breed WAF, bot management and API protection solutions while delivering policies tailored to individual workflows.
