Redefining Cyber Security by Employing a New Paradigm
The threat of cybersecurity breaches has never been greater, and despite our best efforts, we are losing the battle and will continue to in the future unless we make critical and fundamental shifts to our paradigm. Cybersecurity leaders agree that the field has become one in which we find ourselves in a constant reactive loop, where we’re putting out fires without truly identifying underlying problems. Without addressing the problems, how can we even begin to address the solutions?

In this keynote, Tyler will share her insights into why we are losing the battle with cybersecurity and what we can do to turn the tide. She'll first explore the biggest threats facing organizations of all sizes, including ransomware attacks, phishing scams, third-party exposure, cloud vulnerabilities, and social engineering.  While also exploring how the unique challenges of remote work, connected devices, implants, and AI (deepfake) affect the global cybersecurity landscape.

Then through analogies and case studies, Tyler will demonstrate how by employing a new model and paradigm we can begin to truly solve the cybersecurity and workforce problems we face today along with be better prepared on the threat horizon of tomorrow.

Today's top threats include: Social Engineering (Phishing, Whaling, Baiting, Diversion Theft, Business Email Compromise (BEC), Smishing, Quid Pro Quo, Pretexting, Honeytrap, Tailgating/Piggybacking, etc.), Third-Party Exposure, Configuration Mistakes, Code Injection Attacks, Poor Cyber Hygiene, Cloud Vulnerabilities, Mobile Device Vulnerabilities, Internet of Things, Ransomware, Malware, Denial-of-Service (DoS) Attacks, DNS Tunneling, Poor Data Management, Inadequate Post-Attack Procedures

The Future of Healthcare: Connected and Intelligent
There are two types of people in this world—those who are happy with the healthcare system and anyone who has ever needed to use the healthcare system. For many, the current model of healthcare is frustrating and, at its worst, negligent. People with chronic illnesses or rare diseases are hit especially hard by the gaps in our system.

Tyler Cohen Wood spent her entire career in cybersecurity working with data and understanding the significance of the cyber world in our reality. She used her tech background to develop her idea for a better healthcare system into MyConnectedHealth (MCH), an A.I.-driven view of medicine.  How do we know it works?  Tyler is proof of the concept herself.  By using this innovative strategy, Tyler was able to diagnose herself (confirmed by physicians) with her rare disease—so rare only 300,000 people in the United States have it. Just the mere concept of MCH surpassed the medical system that had failed her for years in a matter of minutes.

In this keynote, Tyler will not only share with you the latest technology and trends happening in healthcare; but inspire your team to think "outside of the box" in order to improve both patient experience & outcomes by fast tracking patient diagnosis and treatment plans, eliminating duplicate tests, and offering cost-saving efficiencies.

The New and Improved Big Data Analytics: Good Enough to Solve a Murder?
There’s been a murder! After detailed forensic data collection, law enforcement officials begin to piece together the facts. They parse through physical data, social media, digitally collected data from witnesses and suspects and other open-source intelligence (OSINT) to attempt to piece together the “who done it and why”.

We know that social media, digital devices, and apps we rely on collect information on us. But do we know exactly what that means or just how comprehensive and intimate that data is? Most terms of service will tell you exactly what is collected and that apps have the right to distribute collected content to third parties, usually to make your service better. What isn’t said is how the data is put together, the impact that it can have at the personal, company and national security levels and what form future collection techniques might take.

This presentation will show just how vast the scope of information collection is now and how it will be in the future. We’ll also demonstrate how, when pieced together in the right order, data can even solve a seemingly unsolvable crime.
