Women make up only 37% of the tech workforce at entry level, and this percentage drops with each incremental advance in their careers. This series will outline the current state of the tech industry, the challenges women are facing in hi-tech careers, as well as shed light on the opportunities that are opening up for women in tech.

Join us on November 18th to learn how to avoid sophisticated targeted attacks that could cripple your business and inflict physical damage to your critical infrastructure. Using real-world examples of well-known organizations who have felt the significant business impacts from a cyberattack, this webinar will teach you:

When to treat cyber threat as part of your overall enterprise risk strategy.
Which cybersecurity framework best suits your organization.
How to develop a cybersecurity training and education plan.

Cybersecurity: An IT Challenge or a Boardroom Priority?

Find Your Voice, Increase Your Influence

The Cyber Table Top (CTT) process was developed in 2014 to support DoD customers who were overwhelmed by the sheer number of findings produced by traditional cybersecurity scanning tools and checklist processes. These tools and processes identify a very large number of possible vulnerabilities for a system but didn’t provide context for which vulnerabilities might truly lead to potential mission failure. Since budgets are limited, customers need methods of focusing on the most critical vulnerabilities which present the highest risk to their systems. The CTT process is focused on producing actionable cyber vulnerability data in an approachable risk matrix format to enable teams to focus resources. CTTs bring together system developers and maintainers, system users, and expert red teams to execute a multi-day wargame that focuses on the security evaluation of threats that would deny, degrade, disrupt or destroy a system and prohibit users from accomplishing their core mission. By assessing the potential mission impact of vulnerabilities as well as their likelihood/difficulty it provides a way to understand the relative risks of various vulnerabilities and focus the remediation efforts. The CTT process has been used to support DoD system cyber security evaluations in various lifecycle stages from design through long-term maintenance. It has been used to identify and mitigate threats that later were witnessed “in the wild” and caused significant negative impacts to other systems. It has become so popular that an official DoD Guidebook and training course was developed in 2018.

Do you want to raise the bar on your team’s security culture, but you don’t hold a senior title? Want to help customers scale security at the organizational level, but they only have one security engineer? In this presentation, we will explore tangible ways that you can scale and enhance your team’s security through collaboration, automation, and escalation through technical and cultural frameworks. We will cover how individual contributors (IC) can utilize ownership and earning trust to make a positive and lasting impact on your organization’s and/or customer's security culture. Participants will leave with a sense of ownership and have a tangible understanding of how to implement security at scale and escalate appropriately.

CyberSecurity Leadership: Influence without Authority

The pace of emerging technologies has increased significantly, challenging individuals to maintain knowledge of relevant skills and Business Areas to staff programs with the appropriate level of engineering skills needed for optimum performance on contract in a timely manner.  Develop strategies that enable a proactive rather than reactive approach, allowing engineers and organizations to stay ahead of the curve to optimize on contract performance and be prepared for future work.  Learn about different engineering shapes to determine which shape is most appropriate for you and /or your organization.  Broaden your horizons and explore available options that can be used to develop a Personal Development Plan that includes learning new skills and gaining experience using these skills.  Don’t miss opportunities – stay ahead of the curve!

“2021’s Top 10 Privacy Tips to Protect your Privacy”

Cybersecurity incidents and failures impact critical public infrastructure, national defense, corporate economic interests, and personal privacy. As the magnitude and frequency of cyber events continues to escalate, vendors and agencies are desperately seeking solutions to solve this issue once and for all. In the 1980’s the software development industry was facing similar challenges. That crisis prompted Frederick Brooks to write his iconic paper “No Silver Bullet – Essence and Accident in Software Engineering.” The solutions and technologies detailed in that paper are eerily similar to the “breakthrough” solutions currently proposed for cyber. This presentation examines the “Silver Bullets” of cybersecurity, lessons we can learn from that parallel history, and the essence of challenges that confront modern security practitioners.

5G brings the power to connect billions of new devices and enable their use in new ways.  With that comes significant risk.  What types of threats does 5G introduce and what should we consider as we start incorporating 5G into our products?

Katie Grzywacz is a Lockheed Martin Associate Fellow  and is the chief cyber architect for the LM Space Centers of Excellence.  She has 16+ years of experience that includes security engineering and offensive security testing. She is currently researching cyber threat scenarios that apply to a multitude of 5G use cases.

5G and Cyber Threats

Please join us in a panel discussion as we explore the challenges surrounding talent development in the cybersecurity industry from professional development, to recruiting, hiring, and building high-performing teams. Cyber Aptitude and Talent Assessment (CATA) identifies the cognitive overlap between aspiring individuals and master practitioners. Identifying that overlap allows for powerful predictions about future success in a variety of cybersec positions such as offensive, defensive, analytical/forensic, or design/development positions. 

You'll leave this talk with a deeper understanding of the scientific rigor that validates and sets the CATA tool apart, how CATA helps the individual cybersec professional (and anyone wishing to become a cyber sec pro) align their career decisions with their innate cyber aptitude, how human resource managers can streamline their talent pipeline, eliminate noise, and find the best possible candidates for their org, and how hiring managers can use CATA to cognitively fingerprint their highest performing teams and develop a talent mapping and succession plan.

So you want to showcase your skills and speak at a technical conference? Great. Your voice matters. Conference organizers highly value new voices, and they are always on the lookout for ways to bring more talent to the stage. The good news is that there are opportunities abound and by submitting to conferences, you're honing in on your expertise, experience and knowledge, creating the most stellar of proposals. Join us for an honest discussion of cybersecurity industry influencers who weren't always used to being accepted when they initially submitted for speaking opportunities. They will share their stories of how they transformed every "no" into a "YES"!

How to WOW Submission Reviewers with a Stellar Proposal

A security operations center (SOC) is a dedicated site where enterprise information systems (web sites, applications, databases, data centers and servers, networks, desktops and other endpoints) are monitored, assessed, and defended by a team of information security professionals.
