Please join us on Friday, February 5th, 2021 for “Hacking Windows Security: An hour of critical thinking on securing servers, workstations, and Active Directory”.

Joining David Spark (@dspark), producer of CISO Series for this discussion will be:

Arlie Hartman (@arliehartman), director of information security, BraunAbility

Amanda Berlin (@InfoSystir), lead incident detection engineer, Blumira

In just one hour we’re going to tackle as many issues under the Windows Security umbrella as humanly possible. Topics such as:

Hardening Windows servers, workstations, and Active Directory

Misconfigurations and how to reveal those issues.

When RDP (remote desktop protocol) and SMB (server message block) protocols are exposed

Collecting logs and why isn’t Windows already logging?

It all starts at 10 AM Pacific/1 PM Eastern. At the end of the hour [11 AM Pacific/2 PM Eastern] we'll switch gears into a series of impromptu 1-on-1 five-minute meetings where everyone will be randomly paired. Nothing to prepare, we’ll do the matching.

Best bad ideas get first responses in "Department of YES".

Other bad ideas featured in “What’s Worse?!” game.

The BEST bad idea wins an award and a $25 Amazon gift card.
