Massive cloud proliferation has driven huge increases in IT and security complexity, the vast majority of which come from trying to force fit legacy concepts, processes and even tools, into a cloud context. This will cover the most important considerations and requirements facing organizations to adequately understand and affect their new reality – and evolve their security thinking. Speakers: Nip...

Leading and guiding a data-driven security program as a BISO can be challenging. Data is everywhere and owned by many departments. Once a BISO has found that data they need, they must overcome the challenges of data access, storage, normalization and all the other steps required to turn that data into an actionable story. Fortunately, the Cloud can make this easier and faster. Speakers: James Binf...

In 2021, artificial intelligence emerged as a viable technology, which warranted a conversation about the legal and policy considerations underlying modern society. We’ll look back at the ethical, legal, and policy considerations discussed in May of 2021 and ask where are we now? What more needs to be done in order to maximize a successful implementation and minimize potential risk? Speakers: Behn...

In a world where the terms “AI” and “machine learning” are used liberally to describe new products and technologies, creating an assessment framework for buyers (and sellers!) to evaluate these products is essential. In this session, we’ll follow the Cost and Vulnerability dimension of MITRE’s AI Relevance Competence Cost Score (ARCCS) Framework and consider the security and privacy implications o...

Protecting Data & the Supply Chain so deeply intertwined with everything from software to identity. Join Program Committee members Edna Conway and Diana Kelley as they discuss the challenges that folks are struggling with right now and some potential mitigation strategies. We'll explore what’s happening with Log4j and other vulnerabilities as well as the need for a software Bill of Materials (SBOM...

Countless conversations with students, politicians, and leaders about cybersecurity suggest that the term ‘cybersecurity’ does not invoke the personal sense of responsibility necessary, nor is it inviting to the majority of the public including minorities, women and young adults who we want to seek a career in this field. How do we change that? Let's start with Data Care. In this podcast, our gues...

The Rise of Privacy Tech (TROPT) recently released a whitepaper categorizing the privacy tech landscape.

Recognizing that the security of our interconnected world is as interdependent and fragile as a Jenga puzzle, how do we ensure that the entire system doesn’t fall apart when a single block is pulled? What do we ow each other, and how do we work together to ensure those organizations—be they non-profits, NGOs, or public schools and institutions—have the resources they need to be resilient in the fa...

How much responsibility should people really bear in the big data realm? Does informed consent equate to waiving rights? Is it realistic that they understand how data travels and is there an incorrect underlying assumption that data is their priority when they are consenting to its collection or use? In this podcast, we will examine the reasons people sign consent forms (to access care or informat...

The Program Committee for the RSAC 2022 Privacy track was challenged with selecting the top session that would make it onto the agenda, but privacy topics were not limited to this one track. So why is privacy trending, and what are this year’s privacy trends? Join two members of the Privacy Program Committee as they reveal their favorite picks and what attendees have to look forward to at Conferen...

Migrating to public cloud introduces new attack surfaces commonly the exploitation of misconfigured resources.
