Babel Revisited: Lessons from an IPv6 Transition

Abstract: The IRS orchestrated the documentation and implementation of IPv6 security requirements despite organizational and contractual obstacles. Cross-functional technical and business teams collaborated to tackle these challenges and socialize the IP4-IPv6 transition. Wisdom and actionable guidance for use by other teams arose out of the din of organized conflict.

Speaker biography: Steven F. Fox is the Sr. Cybersecurity Officer assigned to the IRS’ Foreign Accounts Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) International Dialogue. His work focuses on balancing FATCA security requirements against the privacy requirements of participating countries. Mr. Fox brings a cross-disciplinary perspective to the practice of information security; combining his experience as a security consultant, a Sr. IT Auditor and a systems engineer with principles from behavioral/organizational psychology to address security challenges. Steven is a syndicated blogger covering IT Governance, Risk Management, and IT-Business fusion topics. His speaking engagements include Blackhat’s Executive Summit, RSA Conference USA, Hacker Halted, Security B-Sides Chicago/Detroit/Las Vegas, and GrrCon.

Our May chapter meeting is on Wednesday May 7th, 2014 at 5:45PM. Please RSVP if you plan on attending!

Social Engineering and its Role in Breaches

Abstract: The discussion will be focused on social engineering. Social engineering played a part in nearly every major hack or breach in 2013 yet it still stays in the background when we consider security controls. This is something that needs to change as we move forward and everyone, every single employee, co-worker, etc, is a living breathing open port into our systems just waiting to be compromised.

Speaker biography: R. Jason Toy is a Security Engineer & Splunk Architect at CentraComm.
