Eventbrite - Advanced Persistent Security: Learning from failure - ISSA Central Maryland May 24, 2017 Meeting

ISSA Business Meeting Presentation slides: 2017-05-24-Meeting-Presentation.pdf
Topic: Advanced Persistent Security: Learning from failure

This discussion will focus on how failure should not only be expected, but welcomed.  Failures tell you how to improve protection and detection, and can lead to the discovery of other breaches – all supported by case studies. Such failures can also be considered part of how to respond to a data breach. There is clearly the patching, but the more important long-term issues are, what are the actual lessons learned to take away and improve security?  Ira will share his Syrian Electronic Army experiences which proactively stopped attacks after learning from past attacks.  Additional lessons learned from the Snowden case and others will also be examined.

Speaker: Ira Winkler, Secure Mentem

Most recently, CSO Magazine named Ira a CSO Compass Award winner as The Awareness Crusader.
