Prior to Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022, many observers expected that a Russian-led hybrid war would involve marrying cyber weapons, influence operations, and military force to swiftly overrun Ukrainian defenses. Now, nearly a year and a half after its full-scale invasion, Russia’s military has indeed wrought physical devastation in Ukraine but has not achieved its objectives—in part because Moscow’s parallel cyber and influence operations have largely failed. Join Microsoft threat intelligence experts, Fanta Orr, Rachel Chernaskey, and Loraine De La Fe, as they discuss what we learned from hybrid warfare thus far, including trends in cyber and influence operations, and what we can expect in this second year of conflict.

Truths about Hybrid Warfare in Ukraine: Trends in Cyber and Influence Operations

Having a roadmap to support your strategic vision is imperative to grow and mature your security organization, and it isn’t just a task for the larger security team. Functional units should also build roadmaps to help them align with the business, define goals and prioritize tasks. In this session, IANS Faculty Member Nicole Dove will provide guidance on creating and refreshing strategic roadmaps for functional teams. By the end of the session, attendees will be able to use the accompanying materials to create and implement your own strategic roadmap. Learn how to:  
• Overcome the disconnect between security and business leaders
• Use the components of a tried-and-true roadmap framework
• Align your goals with the priorities of your internal customers 
• Take steps that get results

Behind the Scenes with Microsoft Security Panel

Open-source software components (OSCs) are used in commercial software development across a slew of industry sectors from communications to finance. Because anyone can create open-source projects, there are no baseline security standards or requirements across the ecosystem. The owners or maintainers of the project may not have the resources or expertise to offer any security guarantees. The onus of evaluating the security of OSCs then falls on the users, i.e. software developers and associated institutions. Yet, a company may use hundreds to thousands of OSCs within their application. A security analysis of all OSCs may not be practical. In this talk, we discuss a targeted open-source bug bounty initiative that offers OSC users a proactive approach towards investigating the security of relevant components by crowdsourcing the discovery of security vulnerabilities to external security researchers. All without breaking the bank . We illustrate the process with a case study of bug bounty for JavaScript OSCs used at Comcast. Overall, we conclude that these bounty programs are a cost-effective and low effort solution to the hidden security risk of OSCs.

Wanted Hacked or Patched: Bug Bounties for Third Party Open-Source libraries

With several privacy regulations introduced in the last couple of years internationally and within the US privacy has become a key area security professionals have to engage in. During this talk we will kick off with some grounding information on the two subject areas and how the lion share of implementation has fallen into the security space. We will discuss the areas of cyber security that can be leveraged to achieve privacy goals and the skills companies should look for in staffing privacy ops and implementation roles.

Cyber Security and Privacy: Exploring the convergence

Cyber GRC is at the intersection of Business, IT, Privacy and Cybersecurity. This presentation is meant to pique your interest whether you are interested in a GRC career or if you are growing and investing in your GRC capabilities. I will break down misconceptions and focus on the value to the business and the CISO.

Cybersecurity GRC in Practice

This presentation will focus on the Zero Trust Journey for Comcast.  My presentation will focus on: • The benefits of our collaborative approach.  We aligned a very large and diverse company to a common “north star” through the Pillars of xTrust.  • The effect of COVID in accelerating the program goals.  • The challenges of implementing Zero Trust at scale and the change management required to significantly shift How We Work.

Lessons Learned from a Zero Trust Journey

In the Fourth Industrial Revolution, where speed of technologies and products have no historical precedent, the risk to privacy and cybersecurity becomes greater. As we look to emerging technologies on the horizon as well as consider the accessibility challenges presented by today’s technology, privacy and security professionals alike need to rethink how their existing privacy-by-design approach can be enhanced by incorporating accessibility in all phases of development.

This discussion will introduce the concept of accessibility in this context and raise the argument that, without accessibility, no privacy or security program is delivering its full value to the business, its employees or its customers. Join this discussion to learn more about:
● How digital accessibility can improve privacy and security programs
● The basics of designing with accessibility in mind
● How innovative technologies power accessibility
● Key actions that privacy and security professionals can deploy immediately

The new Executive Order moves quickly to address greater transparency and information sharing of cyber-attacks and breaches – what does this mean to you?



We will take a look at the forthcoming (draft of published) Executive Order on Cybersecurity from the White House.

Spurred by the Solar Winds cyberattack, the Administration determined the need to improve the speed and efficiency of for incident investigation and responses and improving the security of software services.
The EO proposes rapid and significant policy changes that will have broad implications for both public and private sectors.
 
Highlights of the order include: 
• Significant increases in authority and resources for the government to run/coordinate/standardize the security of civilian federal networks (e.g., incident response playbooks, endpoint detection and response, logging event data).
• Mandatory incident reporting to the federal government for every software and SaaS provider.
• Removal of Federal and Defense contractual barriers which prevent sharing of data related to event prevention, detection and response
• New requirements for software suppliers to attest to the security of their software development lifecycle.
• A swift increase in the pace of federal government agencies to transition to the cloud and adopt a zero-trust model.

Legal Considerations to Hosting Your Data and Operations in the Cloud

When GDPR enforcement went into effect in May of 2018, business changed forever. For months leading up, General Counsels, C-Suite executives, marketers, infosec, engineers and just about everyone in an organization had to look at their business through the lens of privacy, for some, truly for the first time. But GDPR was the first mile of a privacy marathon. In this session, join Veracode General Counsel Dawn Rogers as she talks about the lasting and evolving impact of privacy regulations on today’s global businesses – and why businesses must be more agile in their approach to better understanding and planning for privacy law changes.
