Topic: Backup and Recovery Technologies Put In Plain Words
Computer security has many elements that provide protection to specific areas of our system environments. Unfortunately, one area although seemingly straightforward, Data Protection, can be complex with the different methodologies and/or terminologies used throughout industry.
Mr. Musson will provide an in-depth look at the existing problems with Backup and Recovery, and delve into the different technologies that the industry is using to solve these problems.
Mr. Musson will answer many questions in this vendor neutral presentation to include:
Did you ever wonder how a hardware and software solution differ in implementation and performance?
What does RTO and RPO mean to you and your environment?
What is the difference between File, Block and Bit level deduplication?
How variable length deduplication and fixed length deduplication works?
How does E-mail and File System archiving affect your RTO?
How can we reduce our Backup windows?
Attend this informative presentation and come away with a better understanding of the technologies and terminologies used by today's data protection vendors.

Cost: $25 for ISSA members, $30 for non-members
Presentation: Next Generation Firewalls
Speaker: Kelly Brazil, Palo Alto Networks
Topic: Firewalls are evolving.
While many have only seen an evolution of their marketing taglines, not their technology, enterprises now require a set of technologies in their network firewall that were previously unheard of. Perhaps most notably, application visibility and control has made its way to the forefront of the requirements list for enterprise firewalls.
For an enterprise, the difficulty is understanding the different approaches and how they fulfill the organization's requirements. The upside for most organizations is that there are real differences among the choices that enterprises have for firewalls--making the choice critical to get right, and potentially, strategically important to the safe enablement of enterprise-critical applications.
Kelly will lead a detailed discussion of:
* Next Generation Firewall ---what does that mean?
* How application chaos increases risk
* Applications that circumvent security policies
* How to gain visibility and control over applications
* Demonstration

Speaker: Jock Purnell
Topic: Apple in the Enterprise (iPads/iPhones and Macs)
Description:
With the interest in deploying Mac's, iPad's, and iPhones in the enterprise increasing, this presentation will examine how to do so responsibly. Obviously, they must be deployed in a secure manner, which includes both Security practices on the devices, as well as the implications of using cloud based storage offerings. Over the years, we've developed ways of deploying PC's both reliably and productively. Some of these same practices can and should be applied to Macs and iPhones/iPads, and there are tools available to do so. Some of the specific topics to be discussed include:
- Security aspects of Mac's, iPhones, and iPads
- Tools for managing
- Ways to distribute images and profiles, and restrict application access
- Security aspects of Cloud Based storage offerings
- Integration with Active Directory and Group Policies
BIO: Jock spent 30 years at IBM as a Senior SE and Global Services Network Consultant/Engineer and now runs his own IT Services company. Since leaving IBM, he has spent more time using Apple solutions, so is qualified to review how they fit into an enterprise setting.

ISSA Monthly Luncheon: Application Security in the SDLC - Practical Strategies

Cost: $25 for ISSA members, $30 for non-members
Presentation: You've read the articles about the latest data breaches and you've seen the presentations about the latest application attacks. You've been barraged with compliance requirements and you've heard the preaching about building security into the System Development Lifecycle (SDLC). As a method to thwart the bad guys, attain compliance and prevent data breaches, few would argue with the notion of integrating security into the SDLC. Of course, if we all had the benefit of "starting fresh" the task might be relatively easy. Unfortunately, reality is usually quite different and, most often, security professionals are called in to help well after the application is on the path to production. As a result, we are left wondering how we can get from "here" to "there."
Speaker: Kevin D. Spease. ISSA-Sacramento Valley Chapter President

Presentation: Social Networking is alive and well, but it is also a dangerous place if you're not careful. Even if we do not give out too much information about ourselves, it is possible to cull enough information from others to create a social network attack, not only on individuals, but companies as well. In this discussion, we explore some of the risks and dangers associated with social networking that can result in identify theft and the implications it has for both consumers and corporations. To prove the point, there will be a live demonstration of how some of these social attacks work. There will also be a summary of preventative measures and recommendations for reducing attack effectiveness.

Maximizing Security -- Point solutions vs Consolidation. Which is better?
Speaker:
Kostas Sfakiotakis
Topic:
Is cobbling together point solutions really the best way to maximize security? As information technology gets more complex, there are varying philosophies on the best way to approach security. Some adopt the approach of using only the best of breed products. Others adopt the approach of using solutions from one vendor to get the best results. Still others use open standards or freeware or Linux based solutions to tackle security on a shoestring budget. There are pros and cons to each of these. Come and share in the discussion about maximizing security at the ISSA Hawaii Chapter Luncheon.

Presentation: A Closer Look at the Stuxnet Worm
Speaker: Mark Ryan Del Moral Talabis, Dwayne Yuen, and James Ochmann - Secure-DNA Consulting
Topic: Stuxnet has been described as a guided cyber warhead, a digital missile aimed at taking down the Iranian nuclear program. It is unquestionably the most complex piece of malware ever discovered, setting several historical milestones such as implementing the first programmable logical controller rootkit, exploiting several stolen legitimate digital certificates, or taking advantage of an unprecedented four zero-day Windows vulnerabilities to spread itself in its pursuit of dismantling Iran's uranium enrichment centrifuges. Stuxnet is a look at the future landscape of security and cyber warfare. It is likely that this is only the first of many attacks of its kind.
Through live demonstrations of actual Stuxnet samples and analysis of decompiled code, we will take an inside look at the inner workings of the Stuxnet worm. Our presentation will walk the audience through the attacker's mindset and design methodology, showing the obstacles which needed to be tackled in order to reach its destination from the eyes of Stuxnet's designers.
We will walk through Stuxnet's journey from initial infection through a removable drive, its several innovative worm propagation techniques, and after finally reaching its destination, the deployment of its payload onto its long awaited target - all while remaining hidden and keeping itself up to date.
BIO: Mark Ryan Del Moral Talabis is a Senior Consultant within the Secure DNA Consulting practice. He has over ten years of experience in Information Security, IT Audit, and Applications Development. He has extensive experience in information security risk assessments, vulnerability assessments and penetration testing and has specialized expertise in security data analysis and incident response.

Presentation: New Technologies in the Fight Against Malware
Speaker: Bill Musson
Topic:
Over the past few years, Malware has been increasing in frequency, variation and
the escalation of the defence versus the attack has made it much more difficult
for Anti-Virus vendors to provide defenses based upon traditional methods.
With the rapid adoption of virtualized environments, Anti-Virus vendors quickly
understood that signature based Anti-Virus was not going to be enough to protect
the critical IT systems in their care.
Bill Musson, a Senior Sales Engineer for Symantec, will be discussing new protection
technologies for both physical systems and virtual systems that are outside the traditional
signature based technologies.
BIO: Mr. Musson is a Senior Sales Engineer for Symantec Corporation with over 24 years of Information Security experience and is currently covers the Pacific Rim from Alaska to Bahrain.

Presentation: The Human Side of Tech: leveraging reptilian brains and butterflies on your next project.
Speaker: Peter Kay, CEO, CyberCom, Inc.
Topic: If you really want to supercharge your next technology upgrade or even improve upon your existing platform, leverage the most important factor, the Human Factor, within your organization.
Don't miss Hawaii's very own Peter Kay (of "Your Computer Minute") as he shares his secrets of leveraging the Human Factor as discovered over his 27 years in Hawaii spanning 6 tech startups and countless local clients ranging from our largest blue-chip firms to the smallest companies. The two key ideas Peter will discuss are:
* Leveraging the most primal human desires (in the reptilian brain) to get people to change their behavior overnight and embrace new technology.
* Transform organizational complexities where even the smallest movement can sometimes bring your entire project to a halt (The Butterfly Effect) into a powerhouse of focused efforts that brings about change faster and more completely than ever thought possible.
While human interface design is a deeply researched area, human behavior is rarely if ever formally considered in technology projects. Designed for both technical, management, and operational areas of all companies big and small, this presentation will give you insights that few consider and may make the difference between success and failure on your next project.
