Ken Kousky Strategy to Reality Lecture

Attended by over 6,000 security professionals from coast to coast, IP3’s renowned seminar series, “Strategy to Reality”, provides the industry’s leading security professionals with the most timely, relevant and comprehensive coverage of today’s issues.

Strategy to Reality by IP3 addresses the issues on the cutting edge of compliance, information assurance, human capital and risk management. As CEOs, executives, managers and IT professionals, you are held accountable to a variety of information security laws and regulations. Strategy to Reality addresses how to implement the security standards necessary to ensure compliance with these laws and regulations, especially when faced with new technologies. The strategy is to address new technology deployment rather than secure last year’s systems with last year’s tools. The reality is that as new technologies are introduced and adopted, new threats will appear. The 14 Essential Body of Knowledge (EBK) domains established by the Department of Homeland Security will be addressed, along with the top security issues for 2009.

Strategy to Reality Content

"Game Changers"

“There’s no better way to say it – the game has changed and it’s NO GAME. Our internet based economy is openly exposed and our most trusted systems are routinely being compromised.” There is no more business as usual.

During this two-day seminar for CEOs, executives, managers and IT professionals, will learn how the technologies, IT security threats and deployment environments have changed; even since the beginning of 2009! Our ALL NEW 2010 Strategy to Reality is returning to some of the nation’s top universities again with both new content and a unique, new approach.

The workshop starts with an in-depth analysis of Aurora. Ken will present real time coverage of the most significant exploit of this century. According to McAfee’s blog posts which provided some of the first disclosed data, “the world had changed”. They went on to call this a “watershed member in Cyber-security”. Core issues will be addressed in five case studies addressing critical current events, their technology implications and our recommended policy and practice responses. This three step process will give you critical insights into today’s most critical issues.

After a detailed situational analysis we’ll turn to updates on the state of Risk Management and consider the full spectrum of issues including new certifications, changes in corporate management structures and a discussion of where IT fits in to the general enterprise risk management process. Clearly, what we were doing at DoD, Google, Adobe (and I use them because I’m certain they were doing a BETTER job than the rest of us) didn’t work.

We’ve got to change the game!

Attended by over 6,000 security professionals from coast to coast, IP3’s renowned seminar series, “Strategy to Reality”, provides the industry’s leading security professionals with the most timely, relvant and comprehensive coverage of today’s issues.
