Presented by Jeffrey L. Westeman • CSCP; VP of Programs, Air Capital Chapter of AFCEA

The integrated supply chains we rely upon to manufacture stealth aircraft, build submarines, and design new weapon platforms to protect our country are at risk from threat actors who exploit the connectivity of our global distribution systems to steal intellectual property, allowing nation states to modernize their economies, advance their military capabilities, and weaken U.S. global influence. We'll review the history and reasoning behind the contractual requirements for cyber security at defense contractors as detailed in Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) 252.204-7012, and outline steps your organization must take to adequately safeguard controlled, unclassified information (CUI) as specified by NIST800-171, "Protecting CUI in Nonfederal Information Systems and Organizations". We'll also discuss MITRE's 2018 "Deliver Uncompromised" report and how the recommendations will reshape future defense acquisitions.

The presenter for this workshop is Jeffrey Westeman, CSCP, VP of Programs for Air Capital Chapter of AFCEA. Mr. Westeman has over 35 years of experience in information technology, security operations, supply chain management, and manufacturing. He has presented or provided training for various organizations, including Boeing Defense, Boeing Commercial, Spirit AeroSystems, Sikorsky, Cessna, Triumph Group, INFOR, APICS, Institute of Internal Auditors Association (IIA), and Wichita State University.

Managing storage continues to be complex, and often expensive. Something needs to change, and it certainly won't be a dramatic increase in staffing. Fortunately, object storage is the answer. By eliminating the use of legacy RAID, object storage, can be the foundation for a scale-out converged storage solution that solves both data protection and primary storage challenges. Want to recover a multi-TB VM in less than a second? No problem. Want to protect files from ransomware? No problem. Need an enterprise file serving, archiving, or virtual server storage solution? No Problem. Attend this session to learn how object storage is changing the landscape for IT admin and the technology of the future.

  Presented by Randy Stone • Director, Stroz Friedberg DFIR

How do you solve a crime when you have thousands of international witnesses that speak dozens of languages and each hold only tiny pieces of the puzzle? All the while, each hour that passes, could be costing an organization millions? This is the dilemma that IT security professionals face.

Join Randy Stone for a no-holds-barred discussion on the dos and don'ts of incident response, diving into his experience, first in law enforcement forensics and later as an incident response professional.
