Threat Intelligence
Most organizations understand their strengths, weaknesses, critical assets, and gaps in their defenses. The problem is, so do their adversaries.

Adversaries use sophisticated intelligence strategies to attack large and small organizations including insiders, cyber-attacks, physical breaches, and social engineering tactics.

In this engaging presentation, Janet uses real-life examples of adversarial plots that both entertain and surprise the audience. This presentation is thought-provoking and will leave the audience both moved and inspired. Sometimes the truth is stranger than fiction.

Insider Threat
A storm is gaining strength, you don't know when it will hit, but you know it will. Your adversaries have been planning, studying, and waiting. They seek out their best targets to persuade, bribe, extort, or send in one of their own. As we all know, insiders aren’t always your adversaries, they can be loyal employees that are just careless, or disgruntled employees doing malicious acts. No matter what type of insider threat you are addressing, it is time to change the game with a proactive, holistic, positive approach.

In this presentation, Janet provides critical knowledge to understand and identify adversarial tradecraft used to create insiders. Janet will discuss how to identify signs and motivations that may convert loyal employees to dangerous insiders. There is hope. While you can't convince people not to be insider threats, you can inspire your people to be loyal. Learn how!
