Recap: September 2020 Virtual Chapter Meeting

November 5, 2020 By Technology Director

Topic: Inclusion Before Diversity

Abstract: For far too long, the conversation of diversity and inclusion has lacked definition. Many believe the terms are synonymous, but they are not. Diversity is simply not possible unless our cultures foster inclusion, which are the behaviors and social norms that allow diversity to happen in our workforce. Join our panel of leaders who will discuss insights on what inclusion means to diversity as well as the behaviors of inclusion our cultures need to foster in order to have a diversity of people.

We had an exciting and refreshing conversation on diversity lead by Deidre Diamond in September. Together with Marci McCarthy, Jimmy Sanders, Mari Galloway and Anu Koshy, they really spearheaded a passionate conversation on inclusion before diversity.

If you missed the conversation, you may watch the replay below.

Recap: August 2020 Virtual Chapter Meeting

August 30, 2020 By Technology Director

Topic: Those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it.
Presenter: Jack Daniel

Summary: When frustrated we may ask ourselves “where are we going and why are we in this handbasket?”, but we rarely have the time to really reflect on where we’re going as an industry and how we got here- and who led the way. The people and ideas which were the foundations of information security are not ancient history, yet few of us know much about them. We are too busy running to keep up and never have time to look back. In this talk we will meet some of the people who founded and advanced our field, and hear some of their stories.

Recap: July 2020 Virtual Chapter Meeting

July 20, 2020 By Technology Director

Topic: Hack The Vote!
Presenter: Chris Roberts

One person, one vote… that’s what we keep telling ourselves, although let’s be honest that really isn’t how it works, at least in the US because of the cockeyed electoral college thing, so it’s more like “some states, most of the votes” AND we can break that down even further by “Electoral College, ALL the votes” because they don’t have to give a damm what you think OR who’s most popular in your state…

So, face it, it really doesn’t matter what the hell you vote, it all comes down to a set of folks…

Which sucks

SO, lets change things

Let’s hack the voting systems, after all they’re controlled by three major companies who don’t give a toss about security, who, between them have more lawyers than programmers and with whom we entrust out futures….ALL secured by passwords such as “EVEREST” “ESS, Password or 1234

Splendid…

What DO we do about it? Watch the recap below:

Topic: Taking The Bugs Out of Bug Bounty

Bug Bounties are the new big “thing” in infosec with a diverse group companies of all sizes jumping in. While these programs can be highly effective, it is easier said than done. Using his experience building and running Aviation’s first bug bounty program, Josh discusses his trials and tribulations implementing a first of its kind Bug Bounty program. By the end of this talk you will know what to anticipate, do, and avoid while building a Bug Bounty program to be as successful as possible right out of the gate.

Speaker: Josh Jacobson

Josh is an ethical hacker and researcher based out of Los Angeles California. He began his career as an ethical hacker with a focus on internal and wireless network penetration testing before taking on application security. In his previous role at United Airlines he designed, built, and managed aviation’s first public bounty program which subsequently won multiple awards. While at United also lead digital forensics and conducted Aircraft and Avionics research as an ethical hacker. Josh now oversees vulnerability management for Sony Pictures Entertainment.

Nearly five months after the announcement of a major vulnerability in the Java-based logging platform Log4J, two reports show that Web servers and applications—thousands of them, in fact—are still exposed to Log4J-specific exploits. https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2021-44228

18+ months. That’s how long cyber-espionage group UNC3524 was able to hide inside IoT networks, taking advantage of devices unsupported by security options like anti-virus software. https://www.zdnet.com/article/this-sneaky-hacking-group-hid-inside-networks-for-18-months-without-being-detected/ https://www.zdnet.com/article/this-sneaky-hacking-group-hid-inside-networks-for-18-months-without-being-detected/?utm_campaign=itb&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_source=morning_brew
