Hawaii's 22nd Annual ISSA Discover Security Conference (2-Days)
All Day
Hale Koa Hotel, Honolulu, Hawaii
Theme:
Cyber Resiliency: The Power to Recover
The Cyber threat has evolved from hackers causing mischief to nation states and organized crime using offensive cyber operations as political and economic advantages. Cyber resiliency is becoming both a critical business issue and an imperative social issue. Cyber resiliency accepts that we cannot achieve perfect security or absolute continuity. Focus is on balancing resiliency with productivity. Developing better systems architecture and software, focusing on data, and becoming more cyber-aware enables productivity no matter you are or what device you are using.

Presentation: Cisco's Cyber Threat Defense Solutions - How to Provide Cloud Visibility and Protect Against Insider Threat
Speaker: Alex Mershon, Cisco Security Consulting Engineer
Topic: While the current threat landscape is full of sophisticated and well-resourced adversaries, one of the most dangerous is the insider because they already have access to the sensitive data on your network.
According to a report from Forrester Research, nearly half of technology decision makers who experienced a data breach in the year studied reported that an internal incident was the source of their compromise.
Since firewalls and perimeter defenses are largely incapable of addressing insider threats, organizations must turn to internal network monitoring and analytics to identify threats based on their behavior.
Join us as Cisco's Security team presents on "Cloud Visibility and How to Protect Against Insider Threat" to learn what to look for to protect your organization from this challenging attack type. The presentation will cover topics including:
* Insider threat prevalence
* Major signs of insider threat activity
* How to detect these signs
* How to identify an insider threat before they impact your organization
* Cloud visibility and protection
Bio: Alex Mershon recently relocated to Honolulu, Hawaii to become part of Cisco's local security sales team. He brings over 20 years of experience in IT and security industry with a wealth of experience. He initially enlisted in the Air Force and worked for a US Intelligence agency. He has most recently been with Cisco for the past 7 years supporting US DoD, Intel and now the Hawaii/Pacific Rim region.

Presentation: ISECOM's Hacker High School Program
Speaker: Bob Monroe, Institute for Security and Open Methodologies Hawaii
Topic: ISECOM's Hacker High School program is designed to teach high school students how to be cyber security professionals in a very innovative way. We all know we need more Security Professionals in the future and ISECOM's program is designed to provide High Schoolers with a much more in-depth program than normal. We teach open source and not commercial tools. We teach the command prompt instead of some fancy GUI interface. We expect students to make mistakes and learn from those errors. We also expect our participants to adhere to local and international laws regarding the digital realm. Criminal behavior is not acceptable nor tolerated at Hacker High School.
There is no law written where hacking is a crime. The media will tell you otherwise but we at the Institute for Security and Open Methodology know for a fact that hacking is not illegal. Computer crime is illegal. Unauthorized access is criminal behavior. Stealing data and credentials is breaking the law. Taking things that do not belong to you is wrong but hacking itself is not a crime. The sole purpose of Hacker High School is to teach high school students how to be cyber security professionals.

Bio: Bob Monroe grew up in Southern California before he joined the U.S. Army in 1985. One of Bob's first military assignments introduced him to the world of hacking. His prankster ways ended abruptly in 1996 when he was almost caught hacking by an eighty-two year old librarian. This incident led to a renewed interest in cyber security, as a good guy. Since then, he has written several articles for publication and maintains a passion for digital security. Bob holds a Master of Science in Information Assurance from Norwich University. Bob's specialty is public teaching and security awareness training. Along with work for the U.S. Army, he has provided security classes for the Veterans Administration, Military District of Washington, Commandant of the Marine Corp and staff, as well as countless others across the world. He holds a U.S. Patent for airport security automation technology that combines radar and thermal imaging to protect aircraft movement areas and the surrounding airspace. Bob works with ISECOM as an editor and writer. He also works as an editor/writer and English interpreter for Hackin9 and Eforensic Magazines. Both publications are produced in Europe with an international clientele. In his spare time, Bob makes children's toys in his small woodshop. He still has all eight fingers, too.
