ISSA is the community of choice for international cybersecurity professionals dedicated to advancing individual growth, managing technology risk and protecting critical information and infrastructure.

Join Travis Luckey, CIO of the City of Beaverton, Oregon, as he reviews key elements of the city’s data privacy and security program. He’ll cover what is collected, how that data is classified, and highlight some of the city’s important data governance
 initiatives, such as sensitivity labels and password-less authentication, that help secure private information and ensure it can only be accessed by those with a need to know about it. We’ll save time afterward for questions/conversation.

The key takeaways for attendees can be summarized as (1) understanding how the city safeguards community data through modern security practices, and (2) learning about current initiatives in the city, including sensitivity labeling and password-less
 authentication.

Your Hometown Knows A Lot About You - How Do They Keep That Information Safe?

This presentation explores how organizations can transform privacy from a compliance obligation into a driver of trust and innovation. It introduces the concept of an AI Privacy Impact Assessment (AIPIA) — a structured approach to identifying, assessing, and mitigating privacy risks across the AI lifecycle. By integrating principles from global standards such as GDPR, ISO/IEC 42001, ISO/IEC 23894, and the NIST AI RMF, AIPIA helps ensure that AI systems remain transparent, accountable, and aligned with ethical and regulatory expectations. The session highlights how privacy impact assessments uncover risks like data misuse, bias, or inference leakage and translate them into actionable governance measures. Ultimately, it positions privacy as a cornerstone of responsible AI adoption—enhancing organizational resilience, stakeholder confidence, and long-term competitive advantage.

AI Privacy Impact Assessment (AIPIA): From Compliance to Competitive Advantage

The Cyber Resilience Act sets mandatory requirements for manufacturers to implement cybersecurity risk management, produce and maintain SBOMs and manage vulnerabilities across the product lifecycle. This session explains obligations and shows practical ways to embed resilience in development and deployment pipelines. It also highlights how preparing now supports readiness for future regulations such as the AI Act, creating innovation and business advantage. 

Key Takeaways:
 • Understand CRA requirements for software and device makers.
 • Learn how SBOM and vulnerability handling affect compliance.
 • See examples of compliance by design practices in action.
 • Foresight into upcoming regulations and frameworks, such as the AI Act.

Preparing for CRA: What Manufacturers, Developers, and Security Leaders Need to Know

This presentation shows what kind of information is online about people and companies, how I find and use that information in social engineering campaigns, and most importantly how to take back some level of control to protect our privacy. Most of it is focused on personal privacy - how this information got out there in the first place, why it's not a good thing, how to find and delete it, all mixed in with my personal experience of going through this process. It also contains examples of successful social engineering campaigns demonstrating exactly how seemingly innocent information can be used against an individual or organization.

How to Protect Yourself From People Like Me

The path to the boardroom is often hidden from view, leaving many aspiring directors unsure of how the process really works. In this episode, we shine a spotlight on the mechanics of board-member selection, from how nominating committees identify candidates to the role networks, skills, and emerging competencies like cybersecurity and ESG play in shaping the pipeline. Joining us are experts from a leading executive search firm and seasoned industry leaders with direct experience in selecting board members. Together, they will reveal what differentiates candidates, how boards make decisions, and what it truly takes to earn a seat at the table.

Behind Closed Doors: How Board Members Really Get Selected

AI is being deployed faster than most security teams can govern it. Whether it’s shadow AI models running without approval or sensitive data flowing into third-party tools without scrutiny, the result is the same: heightened regulatory risk and operational blind spots. Most organizations don’t have a clear system for AI oversight, leaving models and the data that fuels them outside the lines of compliance and control.

This session unpacks how to bring structure to the chaos. From cataloging every AI model and its data inputs to enforcing usage policies and surfacing accountability metrics, CISOs can – and must – take the lead in governing enterprise AI.

Key Takeaways

● Catalog Models and Data: Build visibility across all AI models in use, including third-party and shadow tools, and map their data sources.
● Set Clear AI Usage Policies: Define what’s allowed, what’s not, and what needs review – ensuring alignment across security, legal, compliance, and the business.
● Align with Governance Requirements: Ensure your AI programs meet regulatory, ethical, and corporate mandates before external frameworks mandate it.
● Monitor and Report: Put oversight in motion with active monitoring, risk scoring, and audit-ready reporting across your AI footprint.
● Get Ahead of Regulation: With global regulatory frameworks still catching up, internal governance is your best defense – and offense – for safe, scalable AI adoption.

Actionable Oversight for Enterprise AI: Governing Models, Data, and Risk

AI is in your business now, often outside policy and visibility. Adversaries, regulators, and your own teams are moving fast. 

The result: unmanaged risk from shadow AI, agentic systems, and a surge of machine identities (tokens, API keys, service accounts) that can act without oversight. Traditional IAM alone won’t contain it. This CISO briefing lays out a board-ready operating model for AI governance at speed and scale. We’ll define decision rights, an enterprise AI register, and risk tiers that drive controls. We’ll show how to bound agent actions, enforce least privilege for non-human identities, protect data and models, and produce continuous, audit-ready evidence. Expect plain language, real examples, and a focus on measurable outcomes: faster approvals, smaller blast radius, clearer accountability, and defensible reporting. 

Leave with a 90-day plan and a concise set of KPIs/KRIs any executive can track to prove coverage, reduce exposure, and enable safe, profitable AI adoption across the enterprise.

Public sector organizations and enterprises worldwide face increasingly sophisticated cyber threats that can disrupt operations, erode trust, and compromise mission success. Cyber resilience, defined as the ability to anticipate, withstand, recover from, and adapt to cyber events is now a critical component of national, organizational, and digital security strategies.

This session explores how cyber resilience strengthens deterrence and operational continuity across sectors by ensuring systems and data remain available, trustworthy, and secure - even under attack. Central to this is data centricity: treating data as the most valuable asset and ensuring its protection, governance, and accessibility at all times. By safeguarding data through classification, encryption, access control, and continuous monitoring - aligned with Zero Trust and proactive data security principles - organizations can deny adversaries the opportunity to disrupt essential services or degrade decision-making.

Participants will gain insights into how building resilience at the data and system levels not only protects critical operations but also establishes confidence, credibility, and deterrence in a globally connected environment.

With resilience, our aim is to “remain viable amidst adversity.” We prevent what we can, presuming a certain number of incidents will occur, forcing us to detect and recover. We know relying solely on technical controls is no longer sufficient. Malicious actors are increasingly focused on social engineering. We also know that one-third of incidents begin outside of our enterprise. We must focus on a collaboration of people, process, technology, and the organization across the entire cyber life cycle inside and outside of our enterprise.

This session will walk through the underlying principles to guide your journey while discussing the role of the Business Impact Analysis (BIA), the Operational Resilience Framework (ORF), and the Cyber Resilience Capability Maturity Model (CR-CMM) as tools to achieve your resilience objectives.

Users fundamentally face risks that vary among different ICT sectors, constantly evolve, and require reasonable allocations of resources and actions. 

As cybersecurity incidents and related losses continue to increase, multiple private and public sector activities and actions have emerged as different understandings of what is reasonable. In legal terms "reasonable cybersecurity" is the duty of care that an organization owes its customers. However, what is reasonable remains largely undefined and no global compilation exists of its use for cybersecurity purposes.

Major cyber incidents expose gaps in critical asset protection, raising the question: how can MITRE ATT&CK help strengthen cyber resilience?

This presentation explores how MITRE ATT&CK reveals lessons learned from real-world incidents - starting from Groups, through TTPs and Mitigations, to the intersection with cyber resilience via the MITRE Cyber Resiliency Engineering Framework (CREF). It demonstrates how ATT&CK with the CREF Navigator can help organizations shift from reactive threat tracking to proactive, resilience-oriented planning. By analyzing cyber incidents and IT disruptions, we underscore how MITRE ATT&CK can serve not only as a threat-tracking tool but also as a valuable reference for strengthening cyber resilience against both evolving adversaries and technological disruptions.

Cyber defenders need a clear understanding of how security controls and capabilities align with their threat identification efforts, risk assessments, and security control programs. To support this, MITRE CTID has developed an open-source repository of mappings connecting security controls and capabilities to adversarial behaviors as described in MITRE ATT&CK. These mappings provide a foundation for a threat-informed approach by meeting the following objectives:

- Application of threat-informed analysis and decision-making to security control program design and implementation.
- Connect the design and implementation of controls to the adversary behaviors they mitigate.
- Improve management and board reporting with respect to control investment and threat protection.

Combining FAIR and Threat-Informed Defense to Evaluate Real-World Threat Exposure

Cybersecurity risk assessments frequently depend on qualitative scoring of controls based on standards like ISO 27001, NIST CSF 2.0, or CIS Controls. While these standards help establish good structure of a cybersecurity program, they fall short in addressing how real-world adversaries operate. They don’t guide prioritization based on actual attack techniques or measure the real effectiveness of defenses. We propose a threat-informed risk assessment framework that integrates threat-informed defense methods to link adversary behavior to mitigation coverage and directly inform the Loss Event Frequency input of the FAIR model.

Building a strong cyber resilience strategy can be a complicated and lengthy process, and not all organizations have the same requirements. In this session, we highlight where organizations are focusing to build and then constantly improve on the building blocks of:

- Securing systems, especially the backup environment, aligning to zero trust principles and hardening against attacks
- Enhancing the ability to detect threat actor activity, such as using near real time information to protect high value storage systems which are not often well monitored due to their closed nature
- Technologies to protect systems and data to better enable timely recovery of operations from minimal, moderate and severe attacks.
