Contingency Planning for a Rainy Day
AmyLynn Creaney, State of Nebraska

Business continuity and contingency planning for cloud services. With more reliance on and integration with cloud computing, it’s important for organizations to have business continuity and contingency plans for a disruption in vendor provided services. Let’s face it, planning can be a chore that never seems to end. I’ll breakdown the six questions any organization can use to determine if their existing plans adequately cover their cloud dependencies. And if you don’t have a plan yet, you’ll know where to start.

Cybersecurity Priorities for Organizations
Ben Hall, Heartland Business Systems

Building a strong security program for organizations doesn’t need to be a daunting task and should align with your organization's business and regulatory objectives. Organizations across all industries are under pressure from regulators and customer needs for robust cybersecurity measures to safeguard sensitive data, ensure operational integrity, and uphold public trust.

This presentation will highlight and focus on:

• Understanding the cyber threat landscape and prevalent cyber threats

• Emerging technologies and threats faced

• The importance of data privacy, security and compliance with regulations, and the potential legal, financial and reputational repercussions of data breaches

• Best practices for organizational cybersecurity offering practical guidance

• Incident Response and Disaster Recovery Processes

A security program isn’t something you ever finish, rather it’s continuously evaluated and added to as your business and risks change.

Impact of Open Source Intelligence of Offensive Security and Investigative Practices
Md Rashedul Hasan, University of Nebraska-Lincoln

Prerequisite: Basic knowledge of information security

OSINT, or open source intelligence, is the practice of collecting information from published or otherwise publicly available sources. OSINT operations, whether practiced by IT security pros, malicious hackers or state-sanctioned intelligence operatives, use advanced techniques to search through the vast haystack of visible data to find the needles they're looking for to achieve their goals—and learn information that many don't realize is public. Open source in this context doesn't refer to the open source software movement, although many OSINT tools are open source; instead, it describes the public nature of the data being analyzed. See how OSINT is being utilized on cyber security practices on a regular basis and how counter intelligence are utilizing this to mine information for investigative purposes.

It's Okay to Walk Away
Karla Carter, Bellevue University

Prerequisites: An interest in the human factors of cybersecurity.

The ability to say "no" is an underemphasized yet critically important skill. This presentation delves into the psychological aspect of disagreeableness from the Five Factor Personality Model, linking it to key decision-making processes in cybersecurity. The talk identifies five principal areas where the power of "no" is most directly relevant: Social Engineering, Hardware and Software, Vendor Relationships, Product Development, and Data Collection. By focusing on real-world examples, this presentation will argue that being able to decline, defer, or walk away is not just a personal trait but a professional necessity. Note: Elephants not included. Honey Badgers sold separately.

Out of Sight, Out of Control: Asset Intelligence
Michael A. Atkinson, Armis

Prerequisites: An open mind and a willingness (among some of them, preferably) to ask questions and make this more of a discussion and less of a lecture.

We discuss the changed IT asset landscape and how asset intelligence is key to understanding what you have, where it is, and what vulnerabilities and other risks are associated with those assets. This is particularly important for those organizations in state government, local government and education as they never or nearly never know what kinds of unagentable devices are on their networks, much less where they are or what they're doing.

Security Risks of Generative AI
Jon Nelson, InfoTech Research Group
Prerequisite: Knowledge of Gen AI tools such as ChatGPT, Bard and Bing Chat is useful.

In this presentation we review infotech's approach to the security risks of generative AI. We start with a brief history of Gen AI, an overview of how it works and why it is so different than classic computing. We the discuss privacy and confidentiality risks of inputting data into AI; integrity attacks of how output from Gen AI can be misused and finally how AI technology can be used to augment and enhance existing phishing/whaling attacks. We then discuss infotech's approach to dealing with these threats; namely tackling Gen AI head on and establishing an acceptable use policy and then educating your users on the policy and the risks.

Zero Trust ≠ Zero Risk
Ronald Woerner, Forrester Research

Zero Trust is the buzzword of the 2020s. Vendors are selling it, the U.S. Federal Government requires it and organizations are implementing it. But what does it really mean (I mean really beyond the hype)? In this session, you’ll hear what Zero Trust really means in 2023 from a technical member of the organization that started it all. You’ll also learn why Zero Trust is needed to combat threats and how to accelerate your cybersecurity program. We’ll take a deep dive into the Zero Trust pillars (or components): Identity, Device, Workloads, Network, Data, Visibility and Analytics, and Orchestration and Automation. We’ll also talk about technologies that make Zero Trust possible and how to use them to accelerate your cybersecurity program such as Identity and Credential Access Management (ICAM), Policy Decision Points (PDP) and Policy Enforcement Points (PEP). Zero Trust ain’t going away so prepare yourself and your organization in this session.
