Part 1
 "Plan for the Inevitable: Assume You're Compromised"

Rather than assume that outsiders or insiders will attempt to compromise your systems, assume instead that they already have, and you may not know it. What should you have done to minimize the potential impact? Our panel will present brief "take-home" presentations addressing some concrete ideas around data management, access controls, separation of duties, etc., before they take your questions in an interactive session.

Part 2
"Plan for the Inevitable: Respond to the Breach"

If you've been breached (or suspect a breach), do you have the tools, processes, and policies in place to respond efficiently and legally? Will your teams isolate the issue quickly, or act to make the problem worse? Our panel will present brief "take-home" presentations addressing some concrete ideas around policy, organization, documentation, and procedure before they take your questions in an interactive session.

Our panels will consist of members of the Board of Directors. This will be a unique opportunity for you to interact directly with seasoned experts who also represent the leadership of your Chapter.

Spring 2010 Quarterly Meeting

San Ramon, CA

THANKS TO
AT&T for Hosting

Discussion Topic

"Has your CFO and/or Treasurer asked you yet about the "Account Takeover" threat advisory they got from organizations like the American Banking Assoc, NACHA, VISA and the US Chamber of Commerce? Account Takeover attacks are on the rise and stealing hundreds of thousands of dollars from unsuspecting victims and even bankrupting some. Every organization has to pay its bills. Criminals are targeting that function whether you are a non-profit, a government entity, or a personal investor. And they are getting very good at it.

In this meeting we will discuss the threat, how it works and how it has impacted organizations of all sizes. Our panel discussion will review questions you should be asking of your organization. We will review available services and technologies that help mitigate this threat. We'll discuss the recent Cyber Attack of Payment Processors exercise that was conducted by the Financial Services Information Sharing & Analysis Center (FS-ISAC).We will also present an operational protocol every CISO should have in place for this threat.

Business executives in companies large and small are being targeted and it is only a matter of time before you will need to deal with this. The goal of this meeting is to provide you the knowledge & tools necessary to perform due diligence for this insidious criminal threat."
 

This type of attack was the scenario of the recent Financial Services ISAC Cyber Attack Against Payment Processes (CAPP) Exercise.

AGENDA

Maximizing the business value of a vulnerability management program
Joel Scambray / Consciere LLC

Maximizing the business value of a vulnerability management program. Through the disclosure and examination of real data and lessons learned, Joel Scambray will discuss how to build and execute on a business case for increasing the capabilities of an existing vulnerability management program.  He will share his insight about how looking beyond scanning and patching tools, focusing on metrics, and effectively managing the rivalry between InfoSec and IT Operations are keys to maximizing business value.

The Mumbai Terrorist Attacks
SA Steven Merrill, SF FBI

On the day the Mumbai incident started FBI SA Steve Merrill, a Legal Attache in the FBI's New Delhi office, was enjoying his first day off in nearly a month. He immediately diverted to Mumbai and as the first U.S. official representative on-site made contact with his Indian counterparts and got to work. No red tape, no turf battles, just first responders, standing shoulder to shoulder in a time of crisis. For three days, Mumbai was a blur of gunshots, explosions, fire, and confusion. In the midst of that mayhem, SA Merrill helped to rescue Americans trapped inside the Taj Hotel. He set up lines of communication with his FBI and intelligence community counterparts and coordinated the arrival of the FBI Rapid Deployment Team.

Managing Security in Times of Turmoil: IT, HR, and Legal Considerations in the Down Economy

In the current economic climate, employers are faced with difficult decisions about projects and staffing which can sometimes lead to unpleasant changes for employees. With change comes turmoil: former employees can be distraught, remaining employees may be uncertain about their future or angry at the change, and IT and security resources may be depleted. With this in mind, we will discuss real-world situations (good and bad), provide examples of what to do and to avoid, and provide a forum for the audience to ask questions of seasoned experts in HR, security, legal, and IT management.
