    Join us the day before the conference for 6 additional CPE credits (12 total when attending the PLUS course and the conference).

    Big Data and the Internet of Things are revolutionizing virtually every industry. We’re told of pinpoint accurate medical records and diagnostics, all-encompassing analytics, mastery of industrial processes, effortless control of our static and moving environments and complete connectivity and communication with anything and everything we might ever imagine being useful. Wonderful!

    But SecureWorld attendees and others who’ve been in IT Security for any appreciable time have an internal red flag that goes up upon hearing “It’s gonna be great!” Then those euphoria-deflating security questions start multiplying and running through our somewhat addled brains. Where is all this Big Data coming from? Where will it reside? Who controls it? Who grants access? On what basis? How do we know it’s accurate, relevant? Is it complete enough for life and death medical decisions? What about analytics system administration; data monitoring and correction procedures; incompatible security architectures? Oh yeah, and privacy?

    What kind of security is built into all these Internet-connected devices? How easy is it to control access? Is the data they trade and store encrypted? Who’s liable if they fail or give erroneous signals?

    Big Data and IoT are neither fads nor merely trends, they constitute a revolution. There’s no going back. Join us as we look from a security perspective at both the bright and dark sides.

    Location / Room: Galleria 3

    Warfare and the arts of intrusion have advanced considerably since the Middle Ages, but in many ways the principles of fortification we use today remain the same. The great castles of antiquity were ingeniously designed with multiple layers of physical security to protect their inhabitants from persistent, even advanced enemy threats. Their carefully planned and creative defensive measures provide rich metaphors, both positive and negative, for today’s cyber guardians. On the other hand, clever, daring, sometimes brilliant offensive strategies and tactics have historically breached battlements thought to be unassailable. Come join us as we examine lessons that can be applied to securing our own sophisticated digital fortresses.
