IATC Kickoff

Presented at BSidesLV 2017, July 25, 2017, 11:30 a.m. (55 minutes).

"Our dependence on connected technology is growing faster than our ability to secure it, affecting human life, public safety, national security, and global GDP." This realization launched I Am The Cavalry four years ago at BSidesLV. While there's been a lot of progress and enlightenment among government and corporate leaders, in the footrace with adversaries, defenders started way behind. As I Am The Cavalry enters its fifth year. Our BSidesLV track will highlight many of the successes for Cyber Safety, and build capabilities for scale, speed, and agility so we can look forward to what's needed and what's next. Josh Corman and Beau Woods will kick off the track, giving a brief overview of I Am The Cavalry, mention some notable wins, and give a roadmap for the two day track. And Keren Elazari will deliver a rousing keynote, laying a foundation for BSidesLV participants to help make us safer, sooner, together.
