Phil Dunkelberger, President & CEO, PGP Corporation

 

Keynote

 

Abstract:  Cloud based services have changed the IT landscape and attackers are paying attention. Multi-tenant architectures housing data from multiple sources make clouds attractive targets. Even though they've been around, cloud architectures have not yet been subjected to rigorous peer review from the security community. Providers are building platforms on proprietary technologies, leaving customers unable to independently assess the security posture.  This session will look at the evolution of cloud computing and evaluate what needs to be done to ensure its security and survival.

Previous positions include CEO of PGP Inc., the original PGP startup, VP of Sales at Symantec, COO of Vantive Corp. and CEO of Embark.

Abstract:  With more logging and monitoring tools available, detecting illicit insider activity should be easy. However, most insiders commit fraud, theft, IT sabotage, or espionage using authorized access and performing the same online actions that they perform every day, making it difficult to identify malicious activity. This session will present practical strategies to configure and implement tools based on eight years of research, hundreds of cases, insider threat assessments, and workshops.

Abstract: One of the only guarantees in life is that the first time you analyze a piece of software for security vulnerabilities, you're going to find them. Whether you’re using static or dynamic analysis, prioritizing defects for remediation can strain any organization. This session will demonstrate methods for integrating analysis techniques and show how a combined approach gives better results.

Dr. Peter Warren Singer

Senior fellow and director of the 21st Century Defense Initiative, Brookings Institution

 

Keynote Session

 

What happens when science fiction becomes battlefield reality? An amazing revolution is taking place on the battlefield, starting to change not just how wars are fought, but also the politics, economics, laws, and ethics that surround war itself. This upheaval is already afoot -- remote-controlled drones take out terrorists in Afghanistan, while the number of unmanned systems on the ground in Iraq has gone from zero to 12,000 over the last five years.
