SUMMARY:Membership Meeting 3/26/2025
DESCRIPTION:Chapter Business Meeting Slides: 2025-03-26 Meeting Slides \nSpeaker Slides: Redefining the Perimeter \nTopic: Redefining the Perimeter: Zero Trust & Device-Bound Access Security  \nThe phrase “identity is the new perimeter” is often used to advocate for centralized Identity and Access Management (IAM) and the rigorous application of least-privilege principles. These concepts align with widely adopted Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) networking models\, frequently positioned as an evolution beyond traditional perimeter-based security. Yet\, despite these advancements\, security breaches continue to rise. In this presentation\, Jim Mathews (Triangle Cyber) and David Rihak (Peig) will dissect the technical reasons why stolen credentials remain the leading cause of successful attacks—and what can be done to mitigate this persistent threat. They will explore the limitations of passwords\, traditional MultiFactor Authentication (MFA)\, and even newer authentication methods\, highlighting why these approaches fall short in ensuring truly reliable Zero Trust systems. Most importantly\, they will\noutline how device-bound access security can serve as a foundational element of a resilient cloud security strategy\, ensuring stronger\, more reliable policy enforcement across modern enterprise Zero Trust systems. \n\nSpeaker: David Rihak: CEO of Peig: David Rihak: As the CEO and co-founder at Peig\, David helps organizations get rid of passwords and up their cyber game with passwordless access security. Before this\, David was a Digital Identity Director at ADUCID\, where he co-designed\ncitizen-centric identity solutions and helped develop federal and private partnerships. As a frequent speaker at security conferences\, David is a vivid promoter of humancentric security architectures that leave passwords in the dust. \nSpeaker: James Matthews: CEO of Triangle Cyber: Jim Matthews is the Founder and President / CEO of Triangle Cyber. Jim is an Electrical Engineer and former Raytheon Engineering Fellow with over 30 years of engineering and operations experience in information technology\, networks\, cybersecurity\, system hardening\, and risk / vulnerability assessments. He has supported multiple DoD and Federal programs\, including US Navy\, Missile Defense Agency (MDA)\, and Dept of Homeland Security / Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency (DHS/CISA). He has also led engineering teams that developed mission-critical capabilities\, including a global network of command & control and sensors for missile defense\, a geographically distributed intrusion detection system. Jim\, a strong advocate of agile methodologies\, is also a Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) Practice Consultant (SPC) and teaches SAFe certification courses. He currently serves as Chief Architect for a major DHS/CISA cybersecurity program. \n

SUMMARY:Membership Meeting 5/28/2025
DESCRIPTION:  \nChapter Business Meeting Slides: Membership Meeting 5/28/2025 \nSpeaker Slides: Thought Leadership \nTopic: Data Security: The Missing Context  \nJoin us for this executive session designed specifically for CISOs and cybersecurity leaders seeking a more effective\, modern approach to data security. You’ll learn why traditional DLP solutions have consistently underdelivered—failing to protect critical business data and demanding constant manual input. We’ll explore how Concentric AI uses powerful\, contextual AI to automatically discover\, classify\, and secure sensitive information—without relying on rules\, regex\, or training samples. Through compelling use cases\, we’ll demonstrate how semantic understanding of data enables better governance\, focused remediation\, and smarter protection of business-critical assets like IP\, financial data\, and strategic plans. Walk away with actionable insights into how context-driven security strategies can reduce risk\, simplify compliance\, and empower your team to confidently support GenAI adoption across the enterprise. It’s time to rethink data security. \n\nSpeaker: Patrick McNaught\, Senior Solutions Architect\, Concentric AI \nPatrick previously worked at other data discovery/classification and DSPM vendors over his 10 years in the data security space. Based in Boston\, MA\, Patrick brings his security expertise and consultative approach to guide customers through their data security journey. \n

DESCRIPTION:Click HERE to register for the July 23\, 2025 Membership Meeting \nChapter Business Meeting Slides: 2025-07-23 Meeting Presentation \nSpeaker Slides: TBD \nTopic: Convergence of Networking and Security \nAs digital infrastructure becomes increasingly complex and interconnected\, the traditional boundaries between networking and security are dissolving. This talk explores the foundational principles of security—defining risk\, the core triad of confidentiality\, integrity\, and availability—and how these principles underpin every secure system. We’ll examine the critical role of identity in modern architectures and trace the historical evolution of networking alongside the reactive development of security controls. \nWith this context\, the session will delve into the challenges of implementing a true Zero Trust model in today’s dynamic environments\, where perimeter-based defenses are no longer sufficient. Finally\, we’ll explore how the advent of 5G technology exemplifies the convergence of networking and security\, enabling orchestration\, automation\, and policy enforcement at unprecedented scale and speed. Attendees will leave with a deeper understanding of how integrated approaches are shaping the future of secure\, resilient networks. \n\nSpeaker: David Henning\, Global Director Cybersecurity Operations\, Hughes Network Systems – An EchoStar Company \nDavid has over 26 years of experience in the Information Security field\, 21 of them with Hughes Network Systems. He has worked for major universities\, large government agencies\, and as a consultant for a variety of corporations. David is currently the Director of the Security Operations Center team at HughesNet. He started out as a firewall and IDS analyst heading up the first IDS ever installed at the USDA. He went on to perform penetration testing\, risk assessments\, and worked at an MSSP monitoring customer IDS. David earned his CISSP in 2005\, GCPM Gold in 2009\, PCI ISA in 2015\, and GSTRT in 2024.

DESCRIPTION:Chapter Business Meeting Slides: 2025-09-24 Business Meeting Slides \nSpeaker Slides: From Firefighting To Strategic Focus: Overcoming Workforce Gaps To Drive IT Performance \nTopic: From Firefighting To Strategic Focus: Overcoming Workforce Gaps To Drive IT Performance \n\nAs cybersecurity and IT teams face rising threat complexity and a shrinking talent pipeline\, many leaders are stuck in reactive mode—undermining trust\, adoption\, and long-term strategy. Based on insights from a cross-sector study with 14 senior IT and IS leaders\, this session reveals three key shifts needed to strengthen internal alignment\, accelerate results\, and lead effectively through change. Attendees will gain actionable strategies to build influence\, adaptability\, and team resilience—even with limited resources. \nThe IT and cybersecurity landscape is under immense pressure—shaped by rapid innovation\, rising threat complexity\, and a workforce pipeline that’s struggling to keep up. Many teams find themselves in constant firefighting mode\, unable to fully leverage the systems\, talent\, or strategic priorities at their disposal. \nIn this session\, Christine Springer\, Founder and CEO of Rising Culture Group\, shares insights from a cross-sector study of 14 senior IT and IS leaders—including those leading security\, infrastructure\, and digital transformation. The findings expose critical yet often overlooked internal risks: eroding trust\, lagging tech adoption\, and leadership pipelines that aren’t built to meet today’s demands. \nAttendees will walk away with: \n\nA 3-part framework to shift out of reactive mode and build long-term strategic capacity\nReal-world examples of how technical leaders are developing power skills to drive alignment\, influence\, and resilience\nPractical steps to strengthen team adaptability and internal service—even with a leaner bench\n\nIf your team is stretched thin\, under pressure\, or navigating high-stakes change\, this session will offer actionable strategies to lead more effectively in uncertain times. \nSpeaker: Christine Springer\, Founder and CEO of Rising Culture Group \nChristine Springer is the Founder of Rising Culture Group and a trusted advisor to leaders seeking to drive results while creating a supportive environment for team growth.
