Many industry leaders state that it is time to move away from the traditional “castle and moat” mentality and transition towards self-protecting, self-governing data. In this discussion, we will explore the why there is such a need, how that new approach might look, and what the benefits would be to both corporations and consumers.

The evolution and growth of the “cyber” or the “wired world” we live in, along with all its physical, virtual, and human elements present both tremendous opportunity as well as formidable threats. The consequences of not understanding, not seeing, or acting on the resultant complexities of this “risk environment” can be unforgiving, even devastating. The threats are real, persistent, and pervasive; accordingly, understanding the strategic and comprehensive paradigm of risk is an essential prerequisite to effectively protecting, investing, and even growing an organization. The dynamic of today’s operational environment, accelerated by global virtualization, make the stakes of not getting the risk picture correct, higher and higher. New liabilities and the potential for cascading events beyond our ability to control must be anticipated rather than reacted to. Risk mitigation and resiliency planning becomes central to a successful strategy. In contrast, the neglect or relegation of risk modeling to a legacy checklist approach may leave an organization unprepared and fatefully vulnerable to catastrophic consequence. Informed decision-making become crucial to building resiliency against critical areas of risk. This presentation highlights the basic risk paradigm, the complexities added to and by the cyber environment, and some of the critical decision elements and order of approaching it.

Make sure you RSVP by August 3rd at 10:00am and don’t forget to mark your lunch order.

Cyber attacks are increasing, both in number and in scope. However, an increasing number of these are now affecting devices that cannot be patched. In this talk, Mr. Lee will discuss several examples of significantly harmful vulnerabilities that affect consumer routers, tablets, and mobile phones. Not only are the effects of these attacks harmful, but these devices are no longer supported by the manufacturer, so they cannot be patched to fix the problems. These unpatchable vulnerabilities are not just a problem for home users. Corporations will feel the effects when these devices are brought into corporate networks under BYOD policies and connected to corporate VPNs.

After the presentation, we will spend a few minutes discussing what topics we would like to hear about in 2015. So come prepared with what topics you would like to learn and the names of any speakers you would like to hear.
