Real talk on ransomware

We all know what ransomware is – we know the stats, we’ve seen the headlines, we’re all in the mindset of “if, not when.” With all the fear, uncertainty and doubt constantly bombarding IT professionals, we’ll dive into the realities of ransomware attacks and the real impacts on organizations. We offer participants an opportunity to “sound off” on ransomware and share experiences and challenges with your peers to better understand how prepared organizations are to defend against ransomware attacks.

Building an Effective Cyber Training Program for Your Cyber-Pros

In the cybersecurity triad of people, process, and technology, much time and money is spent on technology and very little on people and process. Classroom training runs into the thousands of dollars and requires security team members to be out of the office for days on end. Worse, the skills learned in that training are quickly lost if not used in a cyber-pros day to day job. The final straw – how many times have we heard, “your travel budget is frozen,” as an easy cost savings method for the company that totally disrupts a training plan?

This presentation will focus on strategies for security team managers and cyber-pros to utilize new technologies to overcome limited budgets and time and get the cybersecurity defense and vulnerability remediation training needed to be effective. This presentation will cover the latest tech for computer-based training, advanced simulation, cyber ranges, and blue team exercise so that managers and team members can find effective methods to affordably grow and hone their cyber skills.
