Session:
Hackers and Crackers and Persistency, Oh My!  A Look at What's Really Going On in Information Security

Presented by:
Alan E. Brill, CISSP, CFE, CIPP, Senior Managing Director, Kroll Cyber Security & Information Assurance

There is no shortage of people who will tell you what they think will happen in information security, but in this session, you'll learn what is actually occurring. Based on the work of Alan Brill and his colleagues in responding to actual crises in healthcare and other fields, and through case studies and briefing elements, you'll see beyond speculation. We’ll look at headline-grabbing attacks that can be very sophisticated, without losing sight that sometimes it is the simplest attacks—like theft of a laptop—that are successful.

Ranging from Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) involving an attacker gaining long-term access to your systems and your data, to old-fashioned dumpster diving and exploiting systems which have not kept their defenses up-to-date and which are exploited through SQL injections or Cross Site Scripting, this session will give you an unvarnished view of the threats you face, whether you recognize them or not. The session also discusses the importance of doing forensic analysis in a potential data breach before making a notification decision.
