The talk Golden Age of Dystopia will provide a critical analysis of key events and trends that have led to the current state, exploring how commercialization, mass surveillance and the rise of big data analytics have contributed to the erosion of digital privacy & security.
The once clear-cut world of cybersecurity is now a complex maze of data breaches and privacy regulation that has caused a surge in litigation and enforcement.
The explosion of valuable data and information is of enormous value in marketing and advertising, medical care, banking and finance, hospitality, and product development and what data is collected, stored and secured, used, and disposed of is currently under scrutiny by regulators, governments, and litigators, creating enormous pressure to protect sensitive data from misuse and theft. Talks will arm you with the latest strategies and skills that must be adopted to survive the courtroom.
With a nod to the election year comes a talk Cyber Threats Targeting Elections: Disinformation Campaigns, Ransomware Attacks, and the Rise of Political Extremism and Violence. With US democracy at risk from foreign enemies wanting to disrupt and derail the democratic process, the presentation explores various dimensions of cyber threats targeting elections such as disinformation campaigns and ransomware attacks to exploit the rise of political extremism and violence so you can better navigate the political information landscape.
Insights about how data, systems and technology either can promote or undermine legal defensibility, so speakers will share basic principles and strategies for designing and using technology for data handling to help advance legal goals and defensibility with compliance, contracting, audit, investigations, governance, incident management and response, and dealing with government and other investigations.
Contextual entitlements concept to access and process rights and privileges that users, services or groups have within specific contexts or situations can vary based on the environment, the role of the user or group, device trust, and legal or regulatory frameworks for cloud and on-premise access and differs from traditional static and binary sign-on platforms, so learn to identify and analyze the issues that influence contextual entitlements.
The talk, In-Depth Analysis of a Phishing Email case study provides an example of the kinds of analysis that goes into responding to a phishing email. This includes an in-depth technical analysis of the email, its attachment, and the websites the victim would interact with to show the kinds of digital forensics and online investigation skills when responding to a targeted phishing campaign.
A Law Enforcement Panel will have Law Enforcement agencies report on the latest cyber threats and strategies to counter them. Finally, of course, a Summit on Women in Security wouldn’t be complete without time for a talk, Advice for Women Who Want a Career in Cybersecurity.
