Session 1: Treat the SOC as a Service to the Business - Allie Mellen

Treat the SOC as a Service to the Business    

Twenty years ago, security operations was an ad hoc capability to fill a burgeoning need for security teams. Now, it plays a major role in shaping the security team, establishing trust with customers, and working with the rest of the business. In this talk, we showcase a new model based on five core tenets for how the SOC can operate to best serve the rest of the business and fulfill its ultimate mission: to stop breaches. 

Session 2 Staying Alive: What it means to be Cyber Resilient - Doug Brush

It is not a matter of if, but when, your organization will suffer an incident that impacts the technology supporting your business. How will your organization continue to operate and recover during cyber or other incidents? There is no way to stop all risks to the company, and you must plan for contingency operations.
This presentation will focus on resiliency and provide planning strategies for continuity and recovery. We will discuss what others are doing and what you can do to increase your resilience.
After completing this session the attendee will be able to:
    • Shift program focus from reactive defense to resilience
    • Understand the resilience framework resources available
    • Have insight into the key components of a resident program



Session 3: Ethics in CyberSecurity - Karen Worstell

Events in 2022 created a disruptive inflection point in cybersecurity. Geopolitical changes dramatically increased the severity of cybercrime against US institutions and enterprises and a CSO was convicted of obstruction of justice for his part in addressing a ransomware attack against Uber. Another CISO turned whistleblower after his attempts to brief the board on cybersecurity vulnerabilities were thwarted.

It's time to realize that the approach we've been using to risk management, ransomware response, and cyber governance is completely broken. It is taking an unacceptable human toll in terms of moral injury and burnout. It is driving a mountain of regulation that is creating new risks of its own. Our biggest risk is technical debt. Meanwhile, ransomware damage is estimated to exceed $20B in 2022.

This session by cyber strategist and former CISO Karen Worstell will focus on the current state of cybercrime, why the existing models of risk management aren't working for anyone except the criminals, and share the framework used successfully for a major wireless carrier that creates a "build once, comply many" computing environment to minimize exposure to current and future cybercrime.
