Please join us on Friday, March 18th, 2022 forSuper Cyber Friday. Topic will be “Hacking Security Validation: An hour of critical thinking about verifying the processes you have in place actually work.”

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

Jason Mar-Tang, Sales Engineering Manager, Pentera

In preparation for our discussion, think about the following:

What is the spectrum of what we’re trying to validate?

Validation is more than checking to see if something is on. You have to actually see if your controls are working, and what are the processes to do just that?

How do you know what to prioritize/do next?

Another form of validation is being able to tell and prove to management that you’re ready for an attack at any given moment.

What have you found desperately needs the most attention for validation

What are you gaining vs. giving up when you push the organization to purple teaming?

What are the most valuable technologies in the stack to validate?

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 to our meetup where everyone will get a chance to chat face to face.

Best bad ideas get first responses in "Department of YES" or “Beat the Bad Idea”.

The BEST bad idea wins an award and a really awesome CISO Series jacket. Also, if you register early by the Tuesday (5pm PT) of that week’s video chat, you will be entered into a raffle where one lucky register will win a jacket (Winners must be US residents. Repeat winners get a $25 Amazon gift card).

Super Cyber Fridays are open discussions where all viewers and listeners are welcome to become participants. Before the scheduled event, connect your webcam and microphone (avoid Bluetooth) and test your equipment here. During the discussion, if you have a question or comment, let it be known in the chat room and our producer will do his best to get as many of you into the conversation. We look forward to you joining us.
