![]() Chris Roberts Founder, CISO and Chief Geek One World Labs Chris (CEO of One World Labs) is going to take a long, hard look at the basics that are still unprotected in our IT environments, as well as examining some of the upcoming technologies being implemented... and the challenges with them. Be sure to disable your BlueTooth, leave your luxury car at home, and switch off all the electronics! Mr. Roberts will cover topics including risk reduction, policy implementation, systems configuration and other areas of interest to both the technical audience as well as the executive leadership. The discussion will provide an understanding of technical considerations as well as the business, fiduciary and legal responsibilities within any organization. The presentation will also examine business awareness to the security climate in today's world, and how Information Security should be reacting and working with clients. Chris will also discuss the impact of both technical and policy-based solutions giving examples, case studies and real world examples of where ideas have both worked and fallen on the rocks. Finally, there will be a review of proactive options for intelligence gathering and preemptive threat analysis techniques to help attendees understand the security threats facing them today and how to protect against them. The session will review threat modeling, risk assessments and talk about the successful implementations of Information Security Threat Models. |
