9:00 - 9:05 am: Welcome
9:05 - 9:50 am: Cyber Hygiene - Aamir Khan
Cyber hygiene refers to the practices that system administrators and end users can take to improve the integrity of personal information within their organization or in their personal lives.
Newsworthy cybersecurity events involving government institutions such as ransomware and data breaches have become commonplace over the past few years, resulting in billions of dollars lost. In this presentation, Aamir Khan, Chief Information Security Officer with the CCC Information Security Center, will go over tips and best practices that any organization or individual can utilize to improve their cyber hygiene posture.
10:00 - 10:50 am: Tour of the Dark Web - Stephen Heath
The terms "Darknets" and "Darkweb" frequently make headlines, but what exactly do these terms mean? How does it work? Can you really find *anything* in the seedy underbelly of the internet? How anonymous is the Darknet? How much of the Darknet is just urban legends of our time? More importantly, how can we stop this activity in our networks?
Join Stephen Heath, IT Security Consultant with the CCC Chancellor's Office, on a deep dive of the Darknets, in which you will gain a glimpse in the wretched hive of scum and villainy where everything from prescription drugs, PHI, ransomware, credit cards, and even organs are rumored to be bought and sold.
11:00 - 11:50 am: OSINT - Omer Usmani
OSINT, or open source intelligence, is a framework for gathering data from publicly available sources. Malicious actors use the methodology to gain access to confidential information, or use the information to carry out a social engineering attack.
It is important for organizations to know how to conduct OSINT on themselves to know what kind of information is out there. Omer Usmani, Security Analyst with the CCC Information Security Center, will go over some popular OSINT tools and techniques including Google Dorking, Shodan, and SpiderFoot.
11:55 am - 12:30 pm: Lunch Break
12:30 - 1:15 pm: Windows Security Center/Microsoft Cloud App Security - Dan Rojas
In this presentation, Dan Rojas, Information Security Officer at Santa Monica College, will cover how to setup Microsoft Cloud App Security to monitor Microsoft Defender, Microsoft Azure and Office 365 security assets and cyberthreats.
1:20 - 2:00 pm: Azure AD Security - Larry Suto
The Informaton Security Center's Larry Suto will discuss security features and issues in a typical Azure AD deployment. We will explore how attackers exploit Azure AD security weaknesses and best practices for hardening Azure AD implementation.
2:05 - 2:55 pm: Ransomware Prevention and Response - Larry Suto
This talk will go over proven techniques for reducing the risk of a major impact from a ransomware attack. Configuration best practices, incident response tactics and promising new anti-ransomware technologies will be reviewed.
3:00 - 3:05: Wrap-up
