10 AM Topic: Implementing Zero Trust
With traditional perimeter-based and endpoint security, enterprises protect the entry into and egress from the network, define and group devices/users into subnets/VLANs using a specific set of usually static rules, use authentication mechanisms centered around users, and install agents to detect and prevent malware. These methods, though necessary, are not enough to protect against the threats posed by unmanaged devices, IoT devices, credential misuse, wrong configuration, insider mal-intent, and lateral movement of threats once they enter the system. Thus, a zero-trust way of implementing security is gaining strong momentum. Zero Trust is rooted in the principle of “Always verify, never trust” and is designed to address security, access privileges, and control in the network by leveraging micro-segmentation and performing granular access enforcement based on users, devices, data, and location properties. In this talk, we will focus on implementing zero trust for IoT devices

11 AM Topic: Zero Trust as a Platform
Zero Trust requires the ability to adhere to the government mandate set by NIST directive 800-207 which examines the 7 Pillars of zero trust. ColorTokens will address 5 Pillars of the Zero Trust model We have designed the Platform to be Simplified, Visible, and Easy to enforce your security policy. The intention is to be able to detect threats and examine and contain the threat. ColorTokens looks at Zero Trust from North to South and East to West traffic. Unless verified, we implicitly deny all users, devices, network, cloud, and API services. The only way to keep attackers from attacking is to ensure your network is invisible and when visible granularity limits the space they can travel. You may know this as micro-segmentation. ColorTokens can micro-segment users, devices, network layers, Cloud layers, and now API-based services in containers.

2 PM Topic: When the Cyber War Was Zero Trust
Zero Trust is revolutionizing network security architecture: it is data and device-centric and designed to stop data breaches while protecting critical infrastructure and making cyber attacks unsuccessful. In this session, Zero Trust Creator, John Kindervag, SVP of Cybersecurity Strategy at ON2IT, will discuss the concept of Zero Trust and explain why Zero Trust is the world’s only true cybersecurity strategy. In 2020, President Biden issued an Executive Order mandating that all US Federal Government Agencies move towards adopting Zero Trust.
Zero Trust is strategically resonant to the highest levels of the business and practically and tactically implementable using commercial off-the-shelf technologies. These 21st-century networks have been adopted by large enterprises and government entities around the world. John will explain how a Zero Trust Network Strategy will achieve tactical and operational goals that make security organizations business enablers, not business inhibitors.

Big Breaches by Neil Daswani
Learn why people should enter the cybersecurity field and what they can do to help prevent breaches from happening in the future. George Santayana once said, “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” For those both entering and currently, in the field, the first step is to know the biggest breaches of the past, and the next step is to always remember them like the back of their hands to avoid having them repeated.
Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.
-George Santayana

A Note About DoGood

Our board is constantly solicited for opinions and opportunities. You might ask, who has the time? The answer would be, our President and Recent Past Treasurer, Gary Dylina. Through the company, DoGood, we have been able to raise charitable contributions from numerous CyberSecurity oriented companies. We invite all of our members to explore DoGood and make the time to engage Vendors in social good. The reason ISC2 East Bay has operated for so long without asking our members for dues is because our board and our presenters simply do good.
