Demonstration utilizing an online tool, the CREF Navigator™, to apply cyber resiliency considerations from NIST SP 800-160 Volume 2 (Rev 1) to common use cases.

Comprehensive technical frameworks are usually voluminous including several definitions, concepts, relationships, tables, and references with linkages to other key frameworks or publications.  NIST SP 800-160 Volume 2 (Rev 1): “Developing Cyber-Resilient Systems” is the leading framework defining and impacting the cyber resiliency space for US federal information systems.  It is a comprehensive framework that is generally applicable and can be adopted by any organization seeking comprehensive and well-defined cyber resilience guidance.  The publication which is over 300 pages centers around the Cyber Resiliency Engineering Framework (CREF) whose constructs include, in addition to the definition of cyber resiliency, four goals, eight objectives, fifteen techniques, fifty approaches, and fourteen design principles and their many to many relationships.

AppSec programs have long relied on a traditional approach, using gates, reviews, and scanning tools to achieve security and compliance. But a new era is here that calls for securing modern cloud apps, SaaS, DevOps infrastructure, and the rapidly changing environments that surround them. Many organizations struggle to shed the traditional model, delaying the reframing of AppSec that is required to both ensure modern application security and integrity and keep up with the ever-increasing velocity the business demands.
 
What does it take to adopt a modern AppSec approach within today’s budget realities? It starts with gaining visibility and business context within rapidly changing development environments and ensuring limited resources are applied to the highest risk issues. Seeing the whole picture allows for effective security prioritization and remediation, partnerships with security champions, drives accountability and allows teams to do more with the same budget.
 
Join us to hear from Jason Chan, ex-CISO of Netflix, and Legit Security CTO Liav Caspi, to learn:
• How to obtain real-time visibility and security posture awareness over rapidly changing applications and development environments.
• How to gain valuable security context to cut through the noise and prioritize efficiently.
• Methods to identify security tool redundancies and leverage existing scanners to save cost and maximize value
• How developer engagement techniques such as security champion programs, paved roads, and security metrics can improve security and AppSec productivity.

Reframing Application Security for Modern Apps and Tighter Budgets

The last two decades have seen massive change in the IT landscape: We’ve seen workloads shift from the datacenter to the cloud, applications move from the desktop to mobile devices, and an increase in the frequency and sophistication of attacks to the point where it's not if you’ll get breached but when. Yet, the process we use for locking down access to our most sensitive systems — privileged access management (PAM) — has not fundamentally changed. 
Is there a better way to approach PAM? Join this session to learn how you can: 
• Leverage just in time orchestration to remove attack surfaces 
• Dynamically delegate just-enough access according to use case. 
• Enable administrators to do their jobs without jumping through hoops. 
• Limit the spread of malware.

PAM: We’ve Been Doing It All Wrong

President Biden’s Executive Order on U.S. Signals Intelligence Activities for EU-U.S. Data Transfers: Is it Adequate for the EU? 

Since the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield data privacy/protection compliance framework for EU-U.S. personal data transfers/access/data flows was declared invalid by the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) in its Schrems II decision in July 2020, GDPR compliance has been in turmoil and much more difficult for U.S. companies, especially small and medium sized companies.  But a few weeks ago in October 2022, and over 2 years after the Schrems II ruling, President Biden’s new Executive Order (EO) creating the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework has given over 6,000 previously U.S. Privacy Shield certified companies hope that their EU-U.S. Personal Data Flows compliance may finally be streamlined once again and achieve legal adequacy under the EU/EEA/Swiss/UK General Data Protection Regulation(s)(GDPR).  
 
The Biden EO is designed to resolve European legal concerns regarding use of U.S. based service providers resulting from U.S. intelligence agencies’ potential access to EU-U.S. transfers of EU personal data following the Schrems II decision.  In response to Schrems II there has been a non-stop parade of European legal determinations ranging from recommended supplemental security measures to prevent U.S. law enforcement access to European personal data to declaring complete illegality of using certain U.S. service providers, to findings that use of U.S. service providers does not inherently violate the GDPR. The whiplash of European legal developments has resulted in much frustration and fear that EU-U.S. data flows will be stifled impairing bilateral EU-U.S. trade in services which amounted to over 500 billion Euros in 2021.

In science we observe, listen and record the activities of the environment and beyond. There is intense curiosity to understand how things work, how they behave and how each interaction can affect every player in that interaction. Some of the great accomplishments out of this curiosity is ensuring a longer, healthier life for humans, monitoring health conditions, predicting the weather, monitoring climate  change, providing medicine to cure diseases, alleviating aches and pains, and providing clean water 
for our basic needs. Science informs public policy and personal decisions on energy, conservation, agriculture,  health, transportation, communication, defence, economics, leisure, and exploration. Why 
not privacy? In this webinar, Roy Biakpara will be juxtaposing privacy with how science works,  - particularly from the perspective of observation, investigation and recording - testing logic and findings with evidence.

The Science of Privacy

Digital resilience against modern malware, ransomware and DDoS attacks has become a big concern for organizations of every size. Zero Trust strategies leveraging traffic visibility and DDoS protection can help prevent or eliminate the business impact of these types. 

Most internet traffic is encrypted today, threat actors are using encryption to hide their attacks. Organizations must rely on TLS/SSL decryption to create a secure decrypt zone as a foundation for a strong Zero Trust strategy to thwart malware incubation as a start. Secondly, other solutions can protect against the effect of external malware powered botnets with effective DDoS mitigation and threat intelligence defenses.  Paul Nicholson, senior director of product marketing at A10 Networks will explore this research backed webinar.

You will learn:
• The threat landscape trends for malware, botnet, and DDoS attacks and the motives behind them
• Techniques to stop encrypted traffic, application, and DDoS attacks in a hybrid cloud setting
• The role of artificial intelligence and automation in a proactive defense strategy

Mitigating Malware and DDoS with Zero Trust Technologies

Early talent or someone looking for a career in Cybersecurity needs to know where to start and how to prepare themselves to get their initial breakthrough. On the contrary, we also need enterprise organizations to have an open mindset to take risks or even allocate time to hire someone without any job experience and make time to provide the expertise on the job to get diverse ideas and talent into their teams.

In this session we will discuss how NextGen provides a platform for candidates to be trained and help identify opportunities for internship, apprenticeship or full time job opportunities with the enterprise organization.

NextGen Program and Opportunities for career in Cyber Security

This session will start with an introduction about what Cyber Resilience is and it is an essential capability to have in your organization. Our speakers will focus on one of the found goals of a cyber resilient enterprise: recover. They will cover what it’s like when your first gate of protection has already been broken through and you are trying to survive. The intruders are already in your network and have even compromised your Active Directory forest. The use case -from real life events- will touch base as well on other Cyber Resilience goals like the ability to withstand the attack and then evolve your organization with the right layers of resilience at hand.
The session is brought to you by ISSA Cyber Resilience SIG and the sponsor is Semperis.
