Presentations for January 17th


Gary will be presenting the 2017 Security Year in Review. This includes a month-by-month look at the significant security events around the globe, including data breaches, ransomware attacks, and cyber crime spanning a plethora of categories from card cracking, fraud, money laundering, human trafficking, drug trafficking, etc. It’s an action-packed presentation!

Mike will be presenting “Protect Your Prints – Reducing Biometric Cyber Exposure.” What’s one of the most powerful and secure methods of identity access control? Your own DNA, of course. But what happens if someone steals it? Imagine your stolen fingerprints being used to access your bank accounts or your organization’s data? After all, recovering a stolen fingerprint is substantially tougher than changing a password. In this session, Mike Muscatell will demonstrate through a series of live demonstrations just how easy it is to steal this information. Join him as he shares how to calculate your personal and business biometric risk and, more importantly, how to safeguard yourself and your company.
