From the Board Room to the Court Room

Bill Dean, Director of Computer Forensics with Sword and Shield, will bring real-world examples of decisions that were made in the Board Room that impacted events in the Courtroom.   Kevin Kerr from ORNL will bring us information on recent cyber events at ORNL.  Please check out the conference schedule for information on more speakers and breakout sessions.

In a year filled with breaches, persistent attacks, complex malware and “hacktivism”, we look to bring our attendees presentations and technical breakout sessions that provide information, techniques and tools to prepare them to make the best possible decisions to protect their data and systems. We also provide speakers and breakout sessions that will add value to the conference and your education, as well as new opportunities to expand your professional network.
