Security Architecture Strategies: Chicago (Rosemont/O’Hare), Illinois

Strategies to secure business driven enterprise architecture.

June 6, 2023

9:00am-5:00pm

7 CPE / 0.7 CEU / CISSP / 7 PDU Credits Awarded

Conference location: Donald E. Stephens Convention Center Rosemont (O’Hare) Illinois


Overview

In order to build and run applications securely there are key architectural components that need to be in place. Without infrastructure components like proper encryption, standard authentication methods and logging standards developers are challenged to build secure applications. Without proper pre-production testing and event logging / analysis knowing if an application is under attack and should you worry when it is becomes virtually impossible. With the advent of containers and the ability to scale application across different platforms the problem only gets compounded.

This conference will present the key architectural components your company should have in place that will allow you to build, run and monitor applications more securely.


What You Will Learn

The C-suite understands that security policies and controls have a direct impact on the ability of organizations to respond to business disruption.

In this one day in-person conference, attendees will learn:

  • Security Architecture and Business Resiliency
  • My Zero Trust Journey – From Conception to Design and Implementation
  • How to Rationalize Tools/Processes and How to Assess Where Your Security Program Maturity is At
  • Securing Your DevOps Infrastructure
  • Stay Awake! API Attacks are Coming Your Way! – The New Attack Frontier
  • How Enterprise IT Security Executives are Bolstering Their Architecture (Panel Discussion)

CONFERENCE AGENDA


8:00am – 9:00am: Registration and Continental Breakfast


9:00am – 10:00am:  How to Rationalize Tools/Processes and How to Assess Where Your Security Program Maturity is At

Derek Milroy, Information Security, U.S. Cellular

This talk will focus on how to rationalize/optimize your security focused tools and gauge your overall Security Program Maturity.

This presentation will also provide suggestions for moving the needle on maturing various areas. No frameworks, just “in the trenches” advise on security tooling and how to gauge overall security program maturity, diving in a bit on some areas/aspects.

11:30am – 12:30pm: Securing Your DevOps Infrastructure

With infrastructure moving more to code-based deployments, security becomes critically important. How to protect sensitive information, accounts and secrets in your deployment code is a challenge for organizations of all size. PSM Partners’ Brad Wyatt will present lessons learned from the field, talk about best practices, and discuss some challenges with automation security.

Brad Wyatt, Solutions Architect, Cloud Solutions Group (CSG), PSM Partners

The IT field continues evolve and traditional physical infrastructure deployments are moving to a more automated code-first approach. Automation can provide consistency across different deployments and configuration changes en masse, but with an ever-changing landscape how can you ensure that your code, pipelines, and runbooks remain secure?

In this session we will explore some of the ways to keep your secrets, secret. From using secret stores in code-based deployments to encrypting variables in different automation platforms, learn what tools are available to help guarantee that your company won’t suffer a security incident at the expense of efficiency.

In 2021, companies leaked more than 6 million passwords, API keys, and other sensitive data types doubling the number from the prior year. On average, 3 out of every 1,000 commits to GitHub leaked a secret with more than half of the secrets consisting of credentials to either data storages, cloud providers, encryption keys, development tools, or messaging platforms. Upon conclusion of this session, you will have the necessary knowledge and tools to secure your DevOps and Automation practices.
