Presentation:
Behavior analysis as a predicative modeling tool against malicious cyber events
Speaker:
Donovan Williams
PhD Candidate, Capella University
Topic:
The leaders of our country and industry have no desire to know that thirty days ago their information enterprise was breached, drained, and compromised. The complexity and speed that advanced information technology has brought to us has additionally included a downside with advance persistent threats conducting innovative malicious cyber events to our networks. Thirty days, thirty minutes, even three minutes is not adequate enough warning time against the multiplicity of complex cyberattacks we are facing with our present post-facto reactive cyber defense systems. What we need is a new paradigm that is predictive in nature. This archetype is one that is in front of the attacker and understands the modus-operandi of the invader's malicious behavior before it starts. The result is to develop a predictive modeling tool to meet the attacker outside the firewall before the breach. Comparatively, if the foe is successful in a penetration of the network, for the first time, the defense has an awareness through this new proactive prototype of who, what, when, where, and why to aid in their defensive strategy.
Biography:
Donovan Williams is an aspiring PhD Candidate at Capella University where he is conducting cyber research on behavior analysis. He is currently developing his proposed dissertation topic "Behavior analysis as a predicative modeling tool against malicious cyber events" as he moves forward in his studies.
In addition, Donovan is a 1982 graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy, received his Masters from the University of Auburn-Montgomery and is a certified Project Manager Professional (PMP).

Financial Information Security Risk Management 2013: Vendor Due Diligence
Speaker:
Kenneth Newman (CRISC, CISM, PMP, ITIL)
Senior Vice President, Central Pacific Bank
Topic:
Companies, especially those in financial services severely impacted in recent years, continue to explore opportunities to reduce cost and increase revenues. For many, this includes a serious look at both outsourcing and offshoring, as part of major projects. While many institutions already have significant vendor relationships, this trend will increase the level of operational reliance placed on third parties. Often a clear understanding of security risk is not a significant enough discussion topic in these procurement proceedings. This presentation will focus on how to best communicate, engage, and handle risk management from an information security perspective when looking at new, critical vendor engagements.
Biography:
Kenneth Newman (CRISC, CISM, PMP, ITIL), Senior Vice President at Central Pacific Bank, has twenty years of progressive experience in technology, security, risk fraud & privacy and a proven year track record delivering solutions in financial services. In prior roles, he has been responsible for various security & risk functions at WaMu, Deutsche Bank, & Citigroup, as well as at other Hawaii financial institutions. He holds an MS in Information Systems and a BS from Columbia University.
Mr. Newman has managed or served as an SME on many projects where he needed to balance risk and security with compliance requirements to meet business needs. He has coordinated global security software deployments, and conducted due diligence for large-scale projects, as well as outsourcing and M&As.
Also a frequent trainer and speaker, Mr. Newman has presented at RSA Conference, MIS Training Institute IT Security World, American Banker Identity Theft and Fraud Symposium, Ziff Davis Security Summit, ComputerWorld Mobile and Wireless World, Technology Manager's Forum, Cyber Security in the Financial Services Sector Executive Summit, and Wireless Enterprise Summit, as well as for FBI, ISACA, Infragard, ISSA, PMI, AITP, ACFE, AFCEA, CoC, BBB, HAIP, and HAPA Hawaii and mainland events.

Presentation:
Understanding the Risks Facing Your Most Critical Assets
Speaker:
Core Security
Topic:
Most organizations today are faced with an overwhelming amount of vulnerability and security data. Because of current resource and staffing models organizations are not able to efficiently identify the highest priority risks within that data which increases the likelihood of a breach or compromise. To address this problem an organization needs to focus on continuous correlation of vulnerabilities across multiple threat surfaces, identify key exposures, prioritize risk to critical assets, and drive the remediation process efficiency throughout the entirety of the IT organization.
Please join Core Security as they discuss how to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the risks facing your most critical assets. During this discussion you will learn how Core Security will allow you to:
* Improve security, optimize budgets and increase efficiency
* Predict threats without disrupting operations
* Reveal the operational and mission implications of security exposures
* Eliminate scan data overload and gain actionable information
* Identify attack paths to your most critical assets
* Make the right security decisions to ensure mission continuity

The "Silver Bullet" that Missed! DoD Defense in Depth
Speaker:
Rich Thompson, CISSP
Information Assurance Manager
U.S. Navy Pacific Region
Topic:
A security practitioner's view of one of the worlds largest intranets. Due to the time constraints, the discussion will be kept at a very high level. I will give a general review of the defenses in place across the 10 security domains and how they come together to protect the network. In 2010, I thought the DoD was on to something; we were seeing drastic declines in the number of Cyber Security events. We even stopped the pen testers from accomplishing any of their objectives during an exercise in 2010. Defense in Depth, the "silver bullet" was working. Now, four years later, there are obvious signs where the DoD approach needs some changes. I believe getting on with the most basic tenets of Cyber Security will bring about the greatest improvements. But can we get there from here?

Presentation:
National Security Awareness Briefings
Speaker:
Eric S. Dean
Special Agent
Counterintelligence Strategic Partnerships Program
FBI Honolulu
Topic:
Special Agent Dean provides counterintelligence / national security awareness briefings that include a review of recent counterintelligence and espionage investigations and a screening of the FBI video "Game of Pawns".
Game of Pawns is an FBI produced dramatic account of the Glenn Duffie SHRIVER investigation. SHRIVER, an American college student studying overseas in China, was targeted, recruited, and paid by the PRC Intelligence Services (PRCIS) to penetrate the U.S. Intelligence Community (USIC) on behalf of the PRC government. The SHRIVER case study shown in Game of Pawns demonstrates the ongoing, organized effort by the PRCIS to infiltrate the U.S. Government in order to commit espionage. Importantly, the SHRIVER investigation reveals a relatively new technique employed by the PRCIS in targeting American students for applicant-seeding operations against the USIC. Current FBI investigations indicate the PRCIS continues to actively target American students overseas in China for USIC-focused applicant seeding operations. The SHRIVER case study represents one among many such operations.
Biography:
Special Agent Eric Dean is the community liaison between the FBI, business and educational sector. Special Agent Dean has been an FBI agent for 22 years, primarily focused on counterintelligence matters with the exception of some time spent in Pakistan during the 1990's working counterterrorism investigations. He served as Acting Assistant Special Agent in Charge of the FBI Honolulu National Security Branch for more than 2 years and served as Supervisory Special Agent for counterintelligence for 7 years. Prior to joining the FBI he was employed by IBM for six years.
