Running a Threat Based Vulnerability Management Program
by Ryan Whalen from Tenable Network Security

Security organizations have no problem finding vulnerabilities on enterprise networks – the volume of security data is constantly growing. The greater challenge is sifting through this data to determine which of these vulnerabilities pose the greatest risk to the business and prioritizing remediation efforts. Using available threat data and performing attack path analysis enables a strategic, threat-based approach to vulnerability management and remediation.

Ryan’s, BIO:
Ryan is a Sales Engineer at Tenable Network Security, where he works with customers on leveraging Tenable’s products to improve their security programs.  Ryan has worked in the IT security industry for over 10 years and has assisted many enterprises in improving their vulnerability management programs.  Prior to joining Tenable, Ryan was an IT risk manager at Nationwide Insurance and a principal security consultant at Jacadis (www.jacadis.com).

How to Speed up Your Shell Scripts
by Ed Smeltz

If you were the coach of a track team and you wanted to win a relay race, you would naturally want to pick your best runners at that distance for that relay team. Shell programming is no different in that some commands are dramatically faster than others at a given task. And some ways of combining and using commands in shell are significantly faster than others. We will examine the issues involved and discuss specific techniques to get the most performance out of your shell scripts.

Ed’s Bio:
With more than three decades of IT experience, Ed Smeltz is a senior technical consultant with Rolta Advizex. The author of the “High Performance Linux Shell Programming Reference,” he combines the application acceleration techniques he pioneered and implemented at Motorola Fort Worth in the 1980’s with the bash/korn/bourne shell programming he has used in his work as a consultant since 1999.

10 Reasons Your Security Education Program Sucks
by Kris French

Cynicism at the intentions and questionable competency of our users is rampant in information security.  We all know that a defense system is only as strong as its weakest point.  This point is too often our people.  It’s not right to blame them for this.  Security is our job, and if we recognize a weak point and don’t protect it, we’re not doing our jobs.  In this talk, I’ll walk you through the part of your job you’re ignoring, and how to do it better. 

Kris’s Bio:
Kris is the manager of application security, risk, and compliance at Hyland Software where he leads security training efforts for both technical and non-technical departments.  He is also founder of local information security group CleveSec which aims to bring security awareness outside of the echo chamber while still helping to sharpen the skills of those in the know.

“Practical Legal and Insurance Considerations for Mitigating Cyber Liabilities”
by Isaac Figueras

Let’s face it – data breaches have become a fact of life. However, when things go wrong for companies, like the theft of personal data or the circulation of damaging email conversations, the resulting damage to a business’s hard fought reputation can be massive. In addition to the technical issues that should be considered in preparing for a breach, there are legal, compliance, and insurance issues that must be taken into account as well. This discussion will assist attendees in understanding how to find and review insurance policies, navigate legal liabilities resulting from a breach, and undertake measures to prevent a company’s employees or vendors from being its largest liabilities.
