Event Description
Join us in November for a year-end chapter update and information on open board positions, a look at Cargill’s program with CISO Jim O’Connor and the latest briefing from Cyentia Founder and Chief Data Scientist Jay Jacobs.
The Data-Driven Approach to Software and System Vulnerabilities
We all want to know what can be done to avoid or stop the next breach. However, the complexities of our connected world combined with an intelligent adversary make accurate measurements, and the subsequent decisions, difficult in the best of times. This talk will share our recent research starting with security in the software development practices through to published vulnerabilities and how we can use data to better prioritize and address the weaknesses ever-present in our environments.
