Mark is a former U.S. Navy Cryptology Officer\, where he led the United States Navy’s Computer Network Defense operations and the Naval Computer Incident Response Team (NAVCIRT). \nRiley Repko left his position as Strategic Adviser to the Air Force Secretary and Chief of Staff on innovation and modernization issues leaders in January. He founded CAFE Search Engine\, which combines a Google-like search functionality with Yelp-like user reviews to help military users find useful AI-solutions. Before returning to the Pentagon\, Riley worked as a Director for Government Affairs at Oracle in DC and Tokyo. He served in the Air Force as an officer\, taking assignments in space operations\, modeling and simulation wargame/exercise support. He held senior Reserve positions as a mobilization assistant both at Air Force Space Command\, on the U.S. Strategic Command staff and at Headquarters Air Force. In March 2004\, he deployed to Balad\, Iraq as the 332nd Air Expeditionary Wing Vice Commander and Director of Staff.

SUMMARY:Webinar on Human Trafficking
DESCRIPTION:I just want to remind everyone that the Infragard Maryland Member’s Alliance (IMMA) will be hosting a webinar on human trafficking next Wednesday (February 17th) at 9:00 am.  This eye-opening and informative webinar will explain how human trafficking persists in our communities and remains a largely invisible crime to most people\, while at the same time shattering the lives of numerous victims.  Our presenters will be a FBI Special Agent and a Task Force Officer from the Maryland State Police who are assigned to a FBI squad that investigates these crimes.  In this presentation you will learn what indicators you should look for and who to notify if you suspect an incident of human trafficking.  This information is especially useful for businesses in the service and hospitality industries\, but it is also useful for everyone\, as human trafficking can be occurring right in your own neighborhood.  It seems like every week there are stories in the press about how alert citizens became suspicious that a person might be the victim of a human trafficking operation\, notified the authorities and made a world of difference. \nPlease use the link below to register and I hope to see you online next week: \nhttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/infragard-maryland-february-webinar-human-trafficking-awareness-tickets-139684755865 \nSincerely\, \nSpecial Agent Mike Miller \nInfragard Coordinator \nFBI Baltimore

SUMMARY:December 2020 "Lunch and Learn"
DESCRIPTION:O365 Lunch and Learn Abstract: We’ll navigate through uncharted security territory by analyzing the attack lifecycle in the cloud and dissecting a real-world attack. The same technology that makes the cloud dynamic can have the opposite effect on an organization’s ability to implement detection and response in cloud environments. This includes the adding additional layer of preventative controls in addition to MFA\, because it’s increasingly being bypassed in O365 as an example. Chris Morales\, Head of Analytics with Vectra\, will help us navigate through the uncharted security territory by analyzing the attack lifecycle in the cloud\, reviewing the top cloud security threats\, and dissecting a real-world cloud attack. Additionally\, he’ll provide key takeaways for managing access\, detection and response\, and security operations. \nThis event is sponsored by Vectra. \n \nClick Here to register for this event.

SUMMARY:Membership Meeting 11/18/2020
DESCRIPTION:Chapter Business Meeting Slides: 2020-11-18 – Meeting Presentastion.pdf\n\n\n\nSpeaker Slides: Roles of Artificial Intelligence and Deep Learning in Detecting Data Exfiltration \nTopic: Roles of Artificial Intelligence and Deep Learning in Detecting Data Exfiltration \nEssential Internet services are vital for many aspects of modern living\, yet those services remain valuable to threat actors who use them for network intrusions and data exfiltration. Dr. Pena completed a quantitative research study analyzing the ability of a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) to detect Domain Name System (DNS) covert communications generated by the DNSExfiltrator open source tool. The results showed the CNN model had100% accuracy when exfiltrated file sizes exceeded 2 Kilobytes (KB) using the default (maximum) transmission packet size\, but its performance fell dramatically for files below 1 KB in size. \nAs AI/ML solutions become more prevalent in cybersecurity tools\, professionals must understand where a model’s strengths and weaknesses lay in order to apply appropriate risk mitigations\, such as tuning complimentary detection systems. \nSpeaker: Dr. Tomas Pena\, L3 Harris Technologies \n\n\nDr. Tomas Pena is the Chief Technologist for Cyber Operations at L3Harris Technologies’ Space and Airborne Systems Segment. In that role\, he’s responsible for cyber innovation and improving the resiliency of company products spanning land\, sea\, air\, space\, and cyber domains. He’s been in cyber-related systems engineering and defense contracting positions since 2013. Prior to that time\, he completed 20 years of service in the United States Air Force as a Cyberspace Operations Officer where he organized\, planned\, executed full-spectrum cyberspace operations\, stood up the United States Cyber Command’s 24/7 Joint Operations Center\, and led Air Force Business Transformation Initiatives at the Pentagon. Dr. Pena has also filled roles such as managing the Global Positioning System satellite control systems\, managing theater communications during Operations IRAQI FREEDOM and ENDURING FREEDOM. He is also the Founder and President of Parallax Cyber LLC\, a small business focused on training and educating the workforce in Cybersecurity and Cyber Conflict\, and the current Editor-in-Chief of the Military Cyber Professional Associations’ Military Cyber Affairs Journal. \n\n\nClick Here to register for the November 18\, 2020 General Membership Meeting
