Information Security and Risk Management Conference Track
Information security and risk management is as much an art as it is a science. The adversary community has evolved their approach to integrate innovative capabilities such as social concepts and business process knowledge into their attack techniques and technologies to increase their likelihood of success. They are also becoming more protective of their knowledge and capabilities and no longer freely advertise their capabilities in the name of research or status achievement. Organizations have also evolved and matured their approach to their defenses to incorporate new capabilities into their arsenal that include policies, threat and vulnerability management, advanced technologies, education, and enhanced business alignment. And so, the epic battle between good and evil continues with no clear winner in site. The Interop Las Vegas 2011 Information Security and Risk Management track will bring together some of the industry's best and brightest thought leaders who will share their exceptional knowledge and wisdom. It will focus on identifying the existing and emerging challenges as well as the concepts, technologies, and industry leading practices that can be utilized to not only meet them but also stay one step ahead of the adversary community.

10:15 AM – 11:15 AM Location: Breakers F Vulnerability management has become a key component to information infrastructure security, however it needs to evolve quickly to stay ahead of the hacking community and become more useful to IT Leadership. In order to keep up with the ever-growing threat landscape of technical vulnerabilities it is important to understand where you are vulnerable from both an application and network perspective. Traditional vulnerability management capabilities, techniques, and technologies may no longer be sufficient as the sophistication of attacks and the number of business solutions that are being deployed continue to outpace the resources and capabilities which most organizations currently have available to address. Lastly, many security organizations have had mixed results in driving vulnerability management programs into IT organizations due to both the volume of vulnerabilities and credibility of the results. This session will focus on the current leading practices and the next generation of tools and techniques which organizations can deploy for effective and realistic vulnerability management. These include prioritization of exploitable vulnerabilities, vulnerability enumeration techniques, remediation management concepts, and compliance reporting capabilities which organizations can use to understand and demonstrate their current state of security while staying one step ahead of the hacker's that are at their doorstep.

2:15 PM – 3:15 PM Location: Lagoon B In cloud computing, security is the monster in the closet. Studies have shown that enterprises see security as the biggest reason not to adopt utility computing—and the biggest reason to use it. Proponents of clouds suggest that they have access to better talent and tools than their users do, and after all, most breaches come from within. Detractors warn that with clouds, someone else controls your destiny, and the shared model exposes you to the mistakes of your neighbours. Who's right? In this Oxford-style debate, we'll put both arguments to the test, and see who's got the most convincing story. Moderator - Alistair Croll, Founder, Bitcurrent Alistair is the principal analyst at Bitcurrent; an executive at CloudOps; an advisor to various technology venture firms; the founder of the Bitnorth conference; and the founder of the Human 2.0 blog on emerging technologies.

11:30 AM – 12:30 PM Location: Breakers F You cannot fight what you cannot see. You also cannot trust the external industry prophets and experts to tell you what you should and should not be concerned about in your world. Gone are the days of loud, boisterous network worms like Slammer and Blaster. They know you've ticked the compliance checkbox and they no longer care. They also read all of the same reports and studies that tell you where you are supposed to focus your time and attention and what will help you to solve your problems. What is needed to be successful in meeting today’s information security challenge is more visibility and a mind-shift: from looking for the "evil bit" to more situational awareness and prompt and agile response. This session will explore the ever increasing blindness of our environments, how to reclaim and expand our visibility, and how this visibility can enable more tenable and strategic approaches to facing and defeating modern threats. Participants will leave knowing how to better leverage their existing investments to gain this level of visibility and best focus their future ones.

Dissecting the Three Major Threat Vectors – Insiders, Industrialized, and Advance Persistent Threats
Location: Breakers F This presentation uses McAfee Labs research as well as real-life customers. Original content designed to paint a clear picture of today’s threat landscape will illustrate the differences between insiders, industrialized hackers, and advanced persistent threats. Attacks are coming from all angles. In some cases they are very rudimentary; others are highly complex. Organizations must be able to protect themselves regardless, and do so in a way that is in parity with business operations, maintains employee and partner agility, and is manageable without the complexity of the solution being worse than the attack itself. Attendees will leave the presentation more knowledgeable about insider threats, industrialized hacking, and Advanced Persistent Threats. They will also gain a strong grasp of attacker motives and understand attack vectors. Several non-vender, non-product specific countermeasures that attendees can leverage within their own organizations will also be explored.

9:00 AM – 10:00 AM Location: Breakers F Somewhere along the way information security become about buying the next great piece of technology to solve the problem or fill the box in the auditors checklist. Unfortunately this approach has yielded only nominal results to date and the challenges of information security and risk management are far surpassing any of the technology or compliance requirements we have today to solve them. Instead of moving the pieces of the puzzle around the board in a desperate effort to combat the technical and regulatory threats of today, we should instead be trying to solve the puzzle to effectively and adequately address the information risks of both today and tomorrow. This session will discuss five key actions an organization can take to truly enhance their information security and risk management capabilities, and avoid purchasing a technology that may ultimately become part of the problem.

8:30 AM – 4:30 PM Location: Lagoon L IT security technology is extremely dynamic in nature. Not only do new and improved security technologies constantly emerge, but some technologies become increasingly prevalent, whereas others fall by the wayside. Furthermore, many information security experts believe that we have been using the same basic security measures over the last 20 years and that this is one of the major reasons for the growing gap between actual risk and managed risk. The technology arena is not excepted from this view. Because technology is so critical in mitigating information security-related risk, keeping in touch with security technologies (especially new and emerging ones), understanding their real functionality, capabilities, limitations, and potential for improvement despite all the hype that surrounds them, understanding environments and contexts in which they are most likely to be successful, and learning how to develop an effective strategy for deploying and phasing in these technologies is essential.

Social Engineering (SE) driven by the science of Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) has become one of the dominant threats in security landscape. SE is used by many professions who must make decisions about people, rapidly and accurately. More importantly, it’s used to help you say yes. Even when you don’t want too! The information taught in this session is seldom available outside of the social science field because of its many powerful uses. This session will help you understand the SE threat, how you can tell if you’re under an SE attack, what you can do about these attacks and how to monitor and mitigate this threat.
Brad started working with computers in 1972, was featured in 1995 HIMSS -
Microsoft Medical Software section and in 2005 was named the Microsoft Small
Business Solution Provider Partner of the Year, an award given to only one
small business for the entire world. Having helped craft the HIPAA law, Brad
works with rural medical facilities helping them meet this complex and
needed law, without going broke.
With his background in Healthcare and a degree in Psychology, he has
specialized in the threat vector of social engineering (SE). Attendees at
his sessions learn SE techniques that can help you get those great ideas
from Interop implemented in your business. You even get "hands-on" time to
practice the skills needed to be successful at SE.
