All attendees received CPE credits and the opportunity to win great giveaway prizes (including a Hyperice Hypervolt Plus). The day began with a highly engaging and entertaining keynote presentation by Dr. Edward Amoroso that included discussion of nation-state cyber threats, current election security issues, artificial intelligence for cyber protection, and how cloud security has evolved from the perimeter. Following this was a highly rated presentation by Linn Freedman that delved into actual sophisticated ransomware attacks, representative of the newest trends, and how they are launched, negotiated and mitigated. Mark Burnette delivered the third presentation of the day, providing candid insight on why so many programs are unsuccessful with a list of "Do’s and Don’ts” to help you ensure that security programs are successful and effective. This was followed by an informative presentation by Detective Corporal Brian Macera of the Rhode Island State Police on the challenges local organizations are facing and the resources available to assist them. The final presentation was a short cybersecurity update from Congressman Jim Langevin, the U.S. Representative for Rhode Island's 2nd congressional district. Click here to view videos of the event presentations, and be sure to subscribe to our YouTube channel to receive notifications when future cybersecurity videos are posted! If you would like to download any of the presentation slides, or have any further questions regarding the event, feel free to contact us.
