      Presentation: CyberSecurity 2020: Can Cognitive Change the Odds?

      Speaker: Diana Kelley, IBM Global Executive Security Adviser


      Topic: Cybercrime and financial fraud are increasingly played as a sophisticated team sport by organized criminals. What will it take to battle them in 2020? How can organizations take action now to prepare? To help answer this question, IBM Security and the IBM Institute for Business Value recently conducted a research study on cognitive security in the marketplace to understand the cybersecurity challenges companies are facing today and planning for tomorrow. The study surveyed over 700 security professionals across 18 industries and 35 countries. In this talk, attendees will hear insights from study co-author, Diana Kelley, from this study including: the changing security priority landscape, why speed and complexity are the biggest cybersecurity challenges; and organizational readiness characteristics and prerequisites to adopt cognitive security. Attendees will leave with an understanding of the quantitative and qualitative benefits of cognitive and a strategic roadmap to help them plan for the next evolution of security.

      Presentation:  The Silent Witness in Smart City Solutions


      Speaker: Retired Police Chief and Synnex Public Safety Manager Mike Gambrell


      Topic: Across the country, local organizations such as schools (K-12, Higher Ed), private facilities and securities, and regulated industry businesses are working with police to incorporate public safety into the mix of issues addressed in a comprehensive community development partnership. When community developers and planners talk about public safety, we often use words like "underpinning" and 'foundation". Addressing and preventing crime is a necessary precursor to community-wide revitalization in the public and private sectors. It is difficult to attract businesses, residents, and other investors to communities that have significant crime or perceived as being unsafe. Public Safety officials address the public safety component of Smart City solutions to enhance the quality of life by using technology to improve the efficiency of services for the benefit of citizens and visitors to their assigned jurisdiction. The backbone of this strategy are the wide array of cameras and associated mobility solutions deployed that have become known as the Silent Witness in Smart City Solutions. Attendees will hear insights from a retired Police Chief and current Public Safety Subject Matter Expert, Mike Gambrell, relative to the public safety component of smart city solutions. Attendees will leave with an understanding of innovative solutions and partnerships utilized by cities that are designed to deliver more and/or better services efficiently and cost-effectively integrating public and private entities for a smart city solution founded on public safety technology.


      Bio: Mike Gambrell, a thirty year retired law enforcement veteran, served throughout a municipal agency in various roles as officer, detective, and in supervisory positions within all Divisions including Operations, Support, and Administration. Promoted through the ranks, he recently retired following his service in the role of Police Chief. He has been the recipient of four different external officers of the year awards through the years. Possessing an undergraduate and graduate degrees in Criminal Justice, he is also a graduate of the prestigious F.B.I. National Academy in 2007. Utilizing and sharing his vast knowledge, he is leading the new SYNNEX initiative in the Public Safety Sector serving in the role of Public Safety Program Manager. The knowledge and assistance provided will assist customers in bridging any gap between the technology practitioner and public safety practitioners. Working collectively with the team and marketing program, Mike finds it invigorating to share the vision of this new initiative with the house of experts lodged in the GovSolv platform through our partners to Public Safety professionals across the nation.

      Presentation: Software Defined Visibility,  How Next Generation Packet Brokers Make This Possible


      Speaker: Marcus Salvemini


      Topic: When deploying security defenses, Packet Brokers can provide the most advanced engineering capabilities to manipulate the flows and packets before they are ingested by the Security tools,  and need to be included in the overall SDN design.

      Next Generation Packet Brokers have the ability to integrate with SDN controllers through the use of RESTFull API's.

      These Packet Brokers come with a robust Software interface that lends itself to the basic 4 constructs of SDN controlled infrastructures and therefore make it a simple bridge between the Controller and the underlying Packet Broker platforms, allowing the SDN controller to automate many actions taken at the Fabric layer of the Packet Broker, as well as providing manual interaction by the controller and the physical platform when needed.

      RSVP requested
      Members $25/ Non-Members $30


      Presentation: Detect, Prevent and Recover - Understanding Security in the Cloud Era


      Speaker: Paul Eiler - Barracuda Channel Manager for Southern California, Nevada and Hawaii
      Chad Haskell - Barracuda Systems Engineer - Data Protection, Western Region


      Topic: Detect, Prevent and Recover - Understanding Security in the Cloud Era

      As tech advances, new ways of working / playing online evolve, it opens up new opportunities to hackers. There is now more information in the public cloud than ever before. Most people don't realize that this information can be leveraged in surprising ways to form a target attack on individuals and organizations when least expected. Where users were once static, a firewall and malware filters may have been enough - guarding the perimeter. Today there is no perimeter. People move - so does the data. Wifi gives access everywhere and users mostly have no idea of the risks they are being exposed to when they connect to these ungoverned networks. Simply put, users spend much of their time the other side of your fire wall, and then unwittingly bring the threat back inside your network often avoiding detection.
      Threats are changing daily, new threat vectors are constantly being opened and created. Modern day security is about deploying/managing multiple layers of security solutions, but in today's cloud era how can you effectively detect the current threats they may reside in your environment? Do you have a plan to detect your current threats, including those residing in your organization already? Once those threats are detected, do you have a plan to prevent those threats and in the event of a breech recover quickly? Most importantly, does your current security solutions integrate into platform designed to deal with advanced persistent threats across multiple threat vectors?

      Bio:Paul Eiler - Barracuda Channel Manager for Southern California, Nevada and Hawaii

      Came to Barracuda Networks 3 years ago assuming the role of Channel Manager for Southern California, Nevada and Hawaii. My primary role is working with Barracuda's top partners in the Southwest region who focus on security solutions. I work with these partners to develop sales/technical training programs and go-to-market strategies. I currently hold many Barracuda Product Specialist certifications in multiple areas including Cloud Security, Network Security and Data Protection products and services.

      Chad Haskell - Barracuda Systems Engineer - Data Protection, Western Region


      Started with Yosemite Technologies in '05, which was later acquired by Barracuda in '08. I have held positions in Tech Support, OEM Training, Quality Assurance, Product Management, Partner Enablement and currently Systems Engineering. While I specialize in Data Protection products I also cover Email Security, Web Security, and CloudGen Firewalls. Over two years ago I started helping the cloud team and have participated at shows like AWS Re:invent, Microsoft Inspire. These experiences have helped me to see how various technology is used to solve to solve a great many different problems and better understand the history of threats and how the threat landscape is evolving today and the protection that is needed to ensure business continuity today how to position for the future.
