Hacking, Social Engineering and Other Things That Keep Us Awake at Night

Johnny Long, Hacker, Security Expert, Author

The first step in preventing a security problem is to know that a threat exists in the first place. In this fascinating and entertaining presentation, Johnny shows us just what we're up against out there. In his own words: "I am a hacker. I've been a professional hacker for over ten years. I've spent the bulk of my career breaking into computer networks and sliding past security guards to gain access to secure facilities." Johnny is an ethical hacker, however, and he is most definitely on our side. His perspective sheds new light on the security challenges that face us daily.

10:00 am Morning Break

10:30 am Concurrent Sessions

Insider Threats and Access Management

A comprehensive security plan has to start with user authentication. It is not an easy task when the range of users is constantly growing and shifting, as are potential threats - not the least of which comes from insiders. Using just one tactic is not enough - it takes a combination of technologies and procedures. This session looks at the latest technologies and approaches as well as their strengths and shortcomings.

Jeffrey Ingalsbe, Senior Security and Controls Engineer, Ford Motor Company

Sean Lyons, Product Line Executive, McAfee

Security Collaboration Opportunities and Obligations

Budgets are tightening at the same time that government organizations are being asked to provide greater services and more information than ever before. In most cases, the only solution is to join forces and leverage the work and resources of others. Collaboration is no longer an option, it's a mandate. This session focuses on using collaborative opportunities to accomplish things that would not be possible otherwise.

Richard Reasner, Deputy Chief Information Security Officer, Homeland Security and Emergency Management, Department of Information Technology, State of Michigan

Eric Tumbarella, Chief Information Officer City of Lansing

Web 2.0, Social Networking and Security

Government is changing. Pressures are mounting to adopt Web 2.0 tools, to be more inclusive with the public, and to be more open and transparent. These tools and approaches (Twitter, Facebook, blogs, et al) offer tremendous power for relatively little investment but at the same time they raise a host of security-related issues and challenges. This session discusses the "how, what, when and where" of social networking and Web 2.0, and how you can get in front of the curve.

Ross Chevalier, Chief Technology Officer, Novell

Re-establishing Trust, Transparency and Information Assurance in the Global Economy

Richard H. L. Marshall, Senior Information Assurance Representative, National Security Agency

When Mr. Marshall served in the President's Critical Infrastructure Assurance Office in recent years, he led the team that wrote the Federal Cyber Security Strategy. In this illuminating and candid presentation, Mr. Marshall covers a broad range of issues including: why strategic Internet security is an absolute imperative; how our nation can maintain its intellectual capital and competitive edge; what key incidents have occurred and why they are important; and what are the priorities and directions for our national cyber security agenda. This is a rare chance to hear directly from one of the front line leaders of our national security strategy.

Michigan Security Agenda

Michigan state and local governments have made great advances in creating a portfolio of tools and processes designed to protect citizen data and provide a safe and secure technology environment, but there are some emerging federal guidelines and priorities (including Health IT) that will present a new set of challenges. This session covers what has been accomplished to date and what lies ahead.

Trent Carpenter, Acting Chief Information Security Officer, Department of Information Technology, State of Michigan

eDiscovery - Mitigating Security Impacts

In this era of open government, the guiding principle is that information and digital records, including various forms of electronic communications, are most definitely public assets. The impact of eDiscovery on IT systems and policies - already overburdened - is increasing dramatically. This session looks at emerging standards and sensible practices in striking the right balance among open government, security and privacy.

Security Crossfire

Heard this conversation before: "I want to do [fill in the blank]." Response: "Oh, no you don't!" It's easy for users to feel balked by security restrictions, but there are usually ways to do what needs to be done - securely. This session focuses on the how to minimize the crossfire while engineering a workable truce.

Jim Hogan, Information Officer for Agency Services, Department of Information Technology, State of Michigan

David Holcomb, Director of Information Technology, Hillsdale County

Previously he served as the commander of the Joint Task Force for Global Network Operations. General Raduege has a highly unique perspective on global information technology and plays key roles on numerous commissions, boards and consortiums.

3:25 pm General Session

Privacy, Security and Your Future

Transparency and open government are currently two of the highest federal priorities, and the ramifications for IT systems, policies and personnel are sure to be significant. Compounding all this is the mounting pressure to share solutions and applications not only among government entities, but also with businesses and the public at large. Government 2.0 is on the near horizon, and we have to be prepared for it. This session discusses where we're headed, what we're headed for, and when we'll get there.
