ISSA KC

Please join ISSA KC chapter members and other security professionals at Lidia's Restaurant.

Topic Summary:  Today's modern operating systems, like iOS and Android, are designed for ubiquitous and wireless access from anywhere in the world, and have very different use cases and security requirements compared with traditional PCs and servers. Mobile devices are on and connected 24/7, and often owned and managed by individuals, dramatically increasing the attack surface relative to PCs.  Malicious hackers have shifted much of their attention to these new operating systems that may provide a direct link into large companies with valuable assets worth stealing. Today, their methods are less focused on broad and annoying attacks on consumers and more on targeted attacks on specific individuals in specific organizations who have the right access levels to high-value assets. Well-researched social engineering exploits, combined with system vulnerabilities, make these attacks highly effective, even against smart and educated individuals.  In this discussion we will cover the landscape of cyber threats to mobile devices, attacker motivations and steps you can take to protect your mobile endpoint.

Speaker bio:  Cory Ronek is a member of the Mobile Security Specialist Team at Symantec based in Chicago.  Cory joined Symantec from the acquisition of Skycure, is responsible for the North Central Region, and has 15+ years industry & security experience.  Cory's Team is focused on helping customers solve the problem of securing enterprise mobile access to corporate data.

We would like to invite you to the Kansas City Cyber Conference. The Cyber Conference will be on December 6th, at the Overland Park Convention Center. This will be the second year for the event. The ISSA membership supported the event last year with a few registrations. We would like to encourage everyone to go this year. Each paid registration generates money for our chapter and community!

Reasons to attend:

• As a member of the ISSA you will receive a $50 discount off the registration fee of $200.
• This conference is truly designed to network Security professionals in a very casual environment with the goal to build the next generation of leaders.
• You will have the opportunity to see over 15 speakers throughout the day.
• Each attendee will receive a Certificate of Continuing Education for 6 hours of credit from Saint Louis University.
• The conference will give $50 of every paid registration back to the community. This year’s money will go to Safehome-ks.org and Battlebuddyservicedogs.org.

This is a by invitation only event for IT and Security Practitioners. Security Vendors, Security Sales people, and Security Consultants will not be able to attend unless they are a sponsor. We will only have 16 sponsors this first year.
