Agenda:
Bringing Up Our Future – On Mentoring Future Techies
by: Sarah Dutkiewicz
While it is one thing to learn from videos or blog posts, it is a different experience when you have someone to turn to that can answer the questions you have when you have them. It makes a world of difference to be able to ask someone “What do they mean when they say ‘authorization’ vs. ‘authentication’?” When you have someone who forces you to think about what it is you want in life and what steps you may need to take to get there… someone who can make introductions and offer direction… it makes your career and life a little less scary and a lot more manageable. In this session, we will look at some practices that are used by great mentors in the field and learn lessons on how we can be great role models and mentors for our future techies

Behavioral Analytics 101
by: Mark Overholser
The presentation is a high-level overview of behavioral analytics as a technique, including a discussion of types of machine learning and anomaly detection, a discussion of how products are (or should be) categorized, and some points and questions to keep in mind and ask when reviewing, demoing, and evaluating behavioral analytics products.
bio:
Mark Overholser has been a lifelong technology enthusiast, and made his passion his career. After working for many years at a multi-billion-dollar medical supply manufacturer and distributor using technology to achieve business goals, he started to wonder about what sorts of controls were in place to help make sure technology would only do good, not harm. One thing led to another, and he then was one of the first members of the new information security team. After working hard to grow the team and build the information security practice, he left to take a breather and now is working to help information security teams everywhere understand threats and get the most out of their defensive technologies. For the past two and a half years, Mark worked for LightCyber, a startup company working on behavioral analytics, which was acquired by Palo Alto Networks. Mark is also an award winning novice “Jack & Jill” swing dancer and can be seen dancing here numbed as dancer 290.
