Title: Surface, Deep and Dark Web
The Internet and Google are not synonymous. Google is a search engine that utilizes programs called web crawlers to collect information from hyperlinked pages. The data collected is indexed for retrieval and returned when a user does a Google search. However, the web pages returned by Google only skims the surface of the Internet. In fact, Google and other search engines only index roughly 10% of the Internet. This presentation will look at where the rest of the Internet is, how to get there, and what lies deep beneath the surface.

Title: Should I invest in Cyber Liability Insurance
What is it? What does it cover? Why do I need it? Cyber Risk is not a problem to be solved it is only a risk that can be managed. Not all Cyber Liability policies are created equal when it comes to coverage or risk management. The new generation of Cyber Liability insurance policies seek to help you manage that risk and be there when the inevitable happens. There are two types of companies: Those that have been hacked, and those that will be.

Title: The Ease of Conducting Reconnaissance on Industrial Control System Devices
Location: Classroom 1
Industrial control systems (ICSs) include electric grids, nuclear power plants, ships, manufacturing plants, building automation systems and more. ICSs have increasingly faced significant threats such as the NotPetya ransomware attack that targeted energy companies, the power grid, airports, and shipping companies in 2017. Devices associated with ICSs can be easily discovered on the Internet via sites including Shodan, a search engine for Internet-connected devices. Additionally, in-depth reconnaissance and even exploits can be run on discovered devices all through open-source tools. This presentation will show how easy it is to conduct reconnaissance on ICS devices setting the stage for cyber attacks. By learning how adversaries can start their cyber attacks on discovered devices, cyber defenders can better protect ICSs.

Title: Hyperconverged and the Cisco solution
Location: Classroom 3
In this session, learn about the latest security, privacy, and compliance features of Microsoft Azure. You’ll learn Storage and virtualization are changing. Exchange is moving to Office 365. Your employees are storing files on Google Docs. Meanwhile, your renewal contracts are expensive, the barrier to flash storage is expensive, and the egress charge on anything you put in the cloud is expensive. As traditional storage needs evaporate into the cloud and servers become more commoditized, you no longer need complex SANs and traditional converged architectures.
Join Cisco to learn how schools are adopting hyperconvergence to address the challenge of “doing more with less.” We will discuss how Cisco HyperFlex allows you to consolidate hardware footprints, maintenance contracts and hypervisor licenses, all while drastically simplifying your environment and improving performance.

Title: Logic Bombs - Blown to Bits
A Logic bomb is a hidden program capable of delivering a malicious payload when triggered by some event such as turning on a computer or opening a file. Logic bombs can be used in a wide range of attacks from harmless pranks to cyberwarfare. While some logic bombs can be extremely complex, others can be written with only ten lines of code. Logic bombs are difficult to detect and diffuse because the malicious code is injected into, or are delivered by means of, some trusted service or applications. This presentation will discuss how easily logic bombs can be written or obtained, and how catastrophic they can be when activated.

Title: Endpoint Security
Discover the Threats You’ve Been Missing with Advanced Endpoint Protection
Traditional Anti-Virus solutions are no longer effective tools for endpoint protection. Today’s sophisticated attackers have learned to bypass these types of controls, leaving IT staff with continuous efforts to clean or re-image compromised endpoints or servers. In addition, even the best security tools are not 100% effective. When a compromise does occur, it is generally detected far too late to mitigate the damage, and it is difficult to know how widespread it is. So IT administrators are often stuck playing a game of whack-a-mole after an attack.

Name: Anthony Saracino, IT Security Officer, Bucks County Community College
Title: Rethinking Defense in Depth
The focus of IT Security has always been to manage and control risk to an organizations critical assets. One way to protect an organizations information assets is through a defense in depth model in which multiple defensive mechanisms are deployed. This layered approach increases an organizations overall posture while also addressing different attack vectors. This presentation will discuss the traditional defense in depth model to control IT risk while also diving into other models. The other models that will be presented are the Cyber Kill Chain Methodology, the Mitre ATT&CK ™ Framework, and Zero Trust Architecture.

Title: Security in Cloud: How do things Change?
Securing your public cloud assets has its challenges and advantages over on-prem infrastructure. Although many datacenters have been undergoing virtualization, the cloud brings with it even more abstraction and can require a mind-shift in the way a security practitioner operates. We will get into the “shared responsibility model” for Amazon AWS and discuss what changes and what stays the same. We will spend time on some of the core security architecture components such as IAM, VPCs, WAF, Shield and others. We will also look at common security pitfalls when moving workloads to the cloud.

Name: George Frazier, M.Ed., CISSP, GSNA, GCIH, Director of Information Systems, Lower Merion School District
Title: Red Team Your Network
This presentation will introduce Red Teaming and provide participants with several Command and Control scenarios and that can be used to sharpen incident response team skills and improve network security. Miscreants and criminals want to gain a foothold on networks and use the available resources for their gain. Would you know if there was a compromised system on your network being controlled through a command and control channel? What logs would you review in order to find suspected command and control activity? This session will give participants a starting point to exercise defenders and reduce the vulnerabilities used to maintain persistence in a network.

Title: Steganography & the Xbox: How Terrorists may be Hiding in Plain Sight
Video game consoles have traditionally been viewed as home entertainment devices. However, today’s gaming systems are sophisticated communication hubs with networking capabilities equal to those found in modern computers. Not only do they provide users with the ability to communicate via email, video, audio and text chat, but it enables them to connect to their systems from a PC or smartphone, transfer pictures, videos, and files, and surf the Internet or dark web. Some of these communication capabilities have been exploited by individuals to plan and commit a variety of criminal and terrorist activities. This presentation will explore how terrorists are using gaming consoles to convey secret messages, spread propaganda, share files, and recruit members.
