KEYNOTE - Mr. Charlie Margiotta, Director of the National Insider Threat Task Force

INSIDER THREAT – A DISCUSSION OF WHERE WE’VE BEEN AND WHERE WE’RE GOING - With the recent roll-out of the National Counterintelligence Strategy, signed by the President in January, 2020, the U.S. government has shifted from focusing on the threats posed by top foreign nation-state adversaries (THE WHO), to focusing on where they’re hitting us hardest and where we need to devote greater attention (THE WHERE/WHAT).  The areas being targeted the most include Critical Infrastructure, Supply Chains, the Economy, Democratic Institutions, and Cyber.  The new strategy also accepts that the U.S. government cannot address these threats alone, and needs the assistance of the private sector, an informed American public, and our allies.  Proactive insider threat reporting can provide early warning, intervention, and assistance for individuals at risk, while strengthening our national resilience, and the resilience of our private sector partners, and academic institutions.​

Greg Pierson, Co-Founder, iovation, a TransUnion Company

Detecting fraud as part of an insider threat program - A comprehensive insider threat program should include external information like credit and public records, among others, to fully inform security managers of potential risks. In this session, TransUnion's Greg Pierson will discuss what kind of external information to look for and how you can apply it to an insider threat program. Greg will also reveal a new approach to uncovering hidden insider risks that requires little to no personal information.

Brian Thompson, Departmental Security Branch / Royal Canadian Mounted Police

Balancing the use of Technology and Behavioural Indicators of an Insider Threat - The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) is a national policing agency that encompasses Municipal, Provincial and Federal policing responsibilities relating to Criminal Law Enforcement, National Security, and International Policing.  The RCMP implements a unified approach to existing Insider Threats, partnering with Internal Business Lines in an effort to respond to each Insider Threat incident.  This collaborative approach adds effectiveness and efficiency to the process, ensuring that threats are mitigated.  Canadian “Case Scenarios” of actual Insider Threats (Desjardin Banking, Whettlaufer) will be provided relating the perspective of balancing Behavioural and Technological Indicators.

J.T. Mendoza Deputy Director, United States Air Force (USAF) Insider Threat Hub

Insider Threat Program Assessment - While organizations approach the insider threat challenge differently, most struggle with the consistent requirement to assess and/or justify program existence.  Often this includes efforts trying to determine ROI, effectiveness, etc. to senior leaders or stakeholders who may not understand the impact of not having an insider threat program.  In his presentation, J.T. Mendoza leverages his experience with two mature insider threat programs within the USG to share a general framework for evaluating an insider threat program.

Erich Anderson Professional Consultant for ObserveIT

Insider Threat Common Questions - We will explore a deeper look into the Ponemon Study on insider threats and a more general exploration of metrics, skill sets and processes when it comes to program development, internal operations best practices and components in between. The session is intended to be open-ended gathering participation from the attendees, no right or wrong answers just sharing experience from within the crowd.

Chris Grijalva, Senior Technology Director at Perspecta

Continuous Evaluation: Evolution to the Trusted Workforce  - This presentation will go through the history of Personnel Security with origins all the way back to the 1800’s and journey through the policy and legal changes that have led up to this point. The discussion will also cover the current state of the Personnel Security Program including advantages and weakpoints. Finally, we will talk about the migration toward Continuous Evaluation/Continuous Vetting and what this migration means.

Mark Wilson, Director of Sales, Radiant Logic

Federated Identity & Virtualization: Removing Identity Integration as a Roadblock for Security and Digital Transformation - Data can be both our greatest Achilles’ heel and the most powerful tool for building innovative and secure defense solutions. To be successful, we need to understand attributes of identities (both structured and unstructured) across the enterprise and harness this data to be interoperable across multi-domains for decision making. We must also deal effectively with the complexity associated with a wide variety of evolving data sources.

Identity is the new boundary. Breach is assumed and focus is applied in a different place: identity data and integration.Our approach to solving this dilemma involves abstracting identities from underlying repositories into a flexible, scalable infrastructure built on virtualization and big data technology. Without disrupting existing identity sources, RadiantOne builds a future-state, reusable unified identity layer for consuming applications.

The result: identity becomes an enabler, not a security bottleneck, allowing you to build on your legacy and accelerate your future identity objectives.

Colonel (USA, Ret) Robert R. Roland, Psy.D., Operational and Clinical Psychologist

Personality assessment and the individual fit in organizations is an interesting consideration for those with a digital focus. On the other hand - it might be a foreign language. None-the-less, without the human dimension what really matters?
