SUMMARY:Richard Tychansky
DESCRIPTION:Security Architect\, Identity Dynamics Corp \n\nThe Drive towards Post-Quantum Computing Resistant Cryptographic Algorithm Standardization\nAbstract: \nYou are now exiting the “Twilight Zone”. Access to Quantum Processing Units (QPUs) and native algorithms written in Qiskit are now a reality and it will soon put Internet commerce at risk for decryption. Running Shor’s algorithm to factor RSA is as easy as running native code on a quantum computing provider’s platform. This is the brave new world where RSA and Diffie-Hellman will no longer be trusted for Internet commerce. \nIn this session we will examine the NIST candidate algorithms for public-key encryption\, key-establishment algorithms and digital signatures. We will build an understanding of how each of the algorithms work and their susceptibility to different forms of cryptanalysis. Find out which algorithm is most resistant to cryptanalysis and how to prepare for the drive to strategically modernization cryptographic infrastructures. \nSpeaker Bio\nRichard Tychansky (Research Triangle Park\, NC)\, CISSP-ISSEP\, GRCP\, CSSLP\, CCSP\, PMP is a University of Toronto graduate and Security Architect.

SUMMARY:Gary McGraw
DESCRIPTION:Co-founder of the Berryville Institute of Machine Learning \n\nSecurity Engineering for Machine Learning\nAbstract\nMachine learning has made impressive progress across a wide range of tasks including image classification\, machine translation\, autonomous vehicle control and playing complex games like chess\, Go and Atari video games. This progress has fueled breathless media coverage of artificial intelligence and elevated deep learning to an almost magical status in the public eye. \nBut machine learning — especially deep learning — is not magic. Its popularity has led to widespread use\, often without a clear understanding of its limitations. In many cases\, adoption is driven more by hype than by sound engineering. This raises concerns about the systematic risks introduced when ML is applied in a careless or haphazard way. \nAt the Berryville Institute of Machine Learning (BIIML)\, our research focuses on identifying and categorizing security engineering risks introduced by ML at the design level. While the idea of addressing ML security risk is not new\, most previous work has focused on individual attacks against deployed systems — a kind of dynamic analysis — or on operational security issues. \nThis talk presents the results of an architectural risk analysis — sometimes called a threat model — of ML systems in general. A list of the top five risks — out of 78 known ML security vulnerabilities — will be shared. \nSpeaker Bio\nGary McGraw is co-founder of the Berryville Institute of Machine Learning. He is a globally recognized authority on software security and the author of eight best-selling books on the subject. His titles include Software Security\, Exploiting Software\, Building Secure Software\, Java Security\, Exploiting Online Games and others. He is also the editor of the Addison-Wesley Software Security series. \nDr. McGraw has authored more than 100 peer-reviewed scientific publications. He currently serves on the advisory boards of Irius Risk\, Maxmyinterest\, Runsafe Security and Secure Code Warrior. He previously served as a board member for Cigital and Codiscope (acquired by Synopsys)\, and as an advisor to CodeDX\, Black Duck\, Dasient\, Fortify Software and Invotas — all of which were acquired by major companies in the security space. \nFor thirteen years\, McGraw produced the Silver Bullet Security Podcast for IEEE Security and Privacy magazine. He holds a dual Ph.D. in cognitive science and computer science from Indiana University\, where he also serves on the Dean’s Advisory Council for the Luddy School of Informatics\, Computing and Engineering. \nhttps://youtu.be/Goe0Sbn5Ma8?si=wL2c4ZK9R0Qq6hyA

SUMMARY:Drew Banks
DESCRIPTION:Retired Tech Entrepreneur \n\nNavigating a Successful Tech Career: Understanding the Tradeoffs of Each Decision\nAbstract\nIf at first you don’t succeed\, fail fast — and learn from your mistakes. Drew will share lessons learned from more than two decades in Silicon Valley\, marked by bold ideas and spectacular failures. He later applied those lessons to help European startups enter the global marketplace — this time avoiding many of the pitfalls he encountered early in his career. \nThis talk offers candid insights into the realities of innovation\, risk and resilience — and how failure\, when embraced thoughtfully\, can shape a smarter path forward. \nSpeaker Bio\nDrew Banks is a seasoned tech entrepreneur and executive with a passion for visual communication\, disruptive innovation\, global hyper-growth\, low bureaucracy and fast execution. \nHis nearly four-decade tech career began in 1982 as an intern at SAS Institute while he was a student at NC State University\, earning dual bachelor’s degrees in computer science and electrical engineering. After graduation — and a two-year detour in New York City exploring the performing arts — Banks earned his MBA from MIT Sloan and moved to San Francisco\, where he has lived for more than 30 years. \nIn Silicon Valley\, Banks has done it all — from leading teams at large companies to launching startups. A self-proclaimed accidental entrepreneur\, he founded a startup that failed\, and now uses the lessons he learned to advise others on how to grow\, fund and exit successfully. He is especially drawn to early-stage European companies with global potential. His work with Prezi and Drops are strong examples of this profile. \nWith a broad and unconventional career\, Banks brings a unique perspective on how to build a career that stays engaging and true to your passions. \nHe is also a published author of four books — both business and fiction — and is currently working on his fifth\, along with a screenplay.
