AGM and meeting
Presentation and discussion on social networking/social media/Web 2.0 risks.
Businesses are attempting to make use of social media, such as Facebook and Twitter, for corporate (primarily marketing) purposes. It is best to become informed about the concerns and security dangers related to such use. This presentation examines a number of risks (and benefits) using the CIA triad as a structure.
Rob Slade got into security via malware research, back before anyone thought it was a part of security, which tells you how old he is. He wrote a bunch of books, including a dictionary of security terms,
(published as the "Dictionary of Information Security") as well as
references for CISSP candidate students, describing the various CISSP
study guides and recommended resources for the different domains, as
well as resources and links for the Vancouver Security SIG. He's even managed to shorten this to a tweet: CISSP study books http://m6dl3.tk http://n1o0h.tk terms http://svgav.tk URLs http://relnn.tk commented http://8znon.tk blog http://xf5d2.tk
Rob is more widely known for his series of vicious technical book reviews, since it is much more fun to trash other people's work than to wrote, yourself.
Also BCIT student research presentation.
Protection of Critical Infrastructures have largely been carried
out through traditional (physical) security measures. However as new
functionality and connectivity is introduced into many of the circuits running our social infrastructure, additional exposure to new and unknown risks will develop.
Did you know that most Internet search engines only index / document
the contents of approximately 5% of the Web? This may be of interest to security minded individuals working with Critical Infrastructure.
Thomas Ellis is a part-time student enrolled in the BCIT Bachelor of
Technology Degree program in Forensics Investigation, and a civilian member with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) and is currently assigned to the Vancouver Technological Crime Unit (VTCU) where he is responsible for liaising with Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP) partner agencies. His particular areas of interest and concern are Robotic Networks, SCADA / Industrial Control Systems, and Wireless Network intrusions and insecurity.
