What to expect at the SecureWorld cybersecurity conference
This year's Bay Area conference will offer two keynote speakers.
In the morning, Stephen Dougherty will present "Business Email Compromise: Real World Stories and Practical Defense." Dougherty is a cyber-enabled financial fraud investigator with the U.S. Secret Service and Firebird AST, and will cover the scope of the BEC problem:
"Business Email Compromise is a scourge and a severe threat to our national and global economy. With $13.5 billion in losses from 2013, BEC is an exponentially growing threat. The presentation will cover the evolution of BEC, major players, and how to protect your business from this cyber-enabled financial fraud scheme."
For the lunch keynote, Elvis M. Chan will cover "The Top Cyber Threats for 2019 and How to Work with the FBI After a Data Breach." Chan is a Supervisory Special Agent with the FBI National Cyber Center San Francisco office.
"This presentation will provide the FBI's perspective on the top cyber threats for 2019, discuss data breach prevention guidelines, and describe what it will look like to work with the FBI after a security breach has occurred at your company."
