Jim officially started working in security as an analyst at a large MSSP. This experience enabled him to gain employment at large global organizations as an analyst before becoming an incident handler. It was in his capacity as an incident handler where he witnessed, first hand, nation state attacks.
This left such a profound impact on Jim that he wanted to do whatever he could to assist other organizations defend against this threat. An opportunity arose that introduced a career change and ensuing uncertainty for Jim, now a seasoned incident handler. Jim took this chance with a small, unknown startup named FireEye and got into sales. Jim has been a sales engineer since that time and has not looked back.
Jim is proud to call Exabeam home today where he is able to cater to incident handlers and security teams to help them defend themselves on the Internet. Jim has his father to thank for introducing him to InfoSec and also Cliff Stoll for the inspiration to become an incident handler. Other interests of Jim include collecting certifications, computers, cars and things that fly. He holds industry certifications including CISSP, GCIH and Security+.
Jeff Orloff is the Tech Evangelist and Vice President of Product at RangeForce. He has more than 10 years of experience in cybersecurity, system administration, and computer and network security.
Bill Bernard, CISSP, is a cybersecurity expert serving as Senior Director of Solutions Architecture at deepwatch. According to Bill, he is a “a career information security professional who has learned through hard won experience that the engineer’s ‘right answer’ isn’t always the ‘right answer’ for the business.” Bringing 20 years of experience to his security role at deepwatch, Bill approaches information security as a necessity for all companies, but understanding that one size does not fit all. With a “top down” focus on information security any company can implement a security program appropriate to it’s needs. When Bill isn’t busy working with his team and customers to design innovative security solutions, he can be heard on WGN Radio on the John Williams’ Morning Show as the ‘on-call’ cybersecurity expert.

Managing IT has never been a bigger challenge. Hardware, software, and users can be anywhere at any time, making IT environments extremely dynamic and often complex. A seemingly simple question has become terribly difficult to answer: ‘Who is using what device?’ IT managers have to make decisions that are often based on scattered, out of date, and incomplete data sources. How can you effectively manage the IT of an organization, if you’re not 100% sure of what assets you have to manage in the first place? This question inspired Lansweeper and still drives us today. We believe that answering it is crucial to tackle and simplify many of the challenges IT professionals face every day. Centralized IT Asset Data enables every stakeholder who needs insights into your company’s IT landscape to speak the same language. Connecting and centralizing IT Asset Data to collaborate across silos, locations, and departments is essential. Eliminate the blind spots from your environment and discover assets you didn’t even know about. Lansweeper’s IT Inventory Platform provides you the means to achieve complete visibility into your IT, centralized into one solution, helping you gain an in-depth understanding of your entire IT estate. Lansweeper creates a substantial reduction in the measure of time IT teams would ordinarily spend on routine, yet key assignments, such as network discovery, inventory, software distribution, licensing and updates. This task automation is critical for organizations with restricted staff and IT spending plans. Reveal needless expenses, support budgeting decisions, and manage your IT cost-effectively with Lansweeper The basic premise of good cybersecurity is that you can’t protect what you can’t see. So the critical first step when it comes to basic cyber hygiene is to maintain visibility of your IT environments and develop the relevant daily routines to inspect and verify.

We put our heart and soul into this Cybersecurity Conference directory.
Way back in 2013 we had another website called “Concise Courses” which used to market and sell InfoSec training courses. We published a blog post listing all the upcoming InfoSec Conferences of that year, and Google loved the resource and put us right to the top of the search engines. That ‘accidental’ occurrence spawned this directory which is maintained by a small team comprising of Henry Dalziel and Charles Villaneuva and a bunch of freelance programmers.
What We Do:
We list, literally, every single Information Security conference, event and seminar within every niche in Cybersecurity.
We have a dedicated team that maintains our in-house tech stack, directory, and data curation.

Presentation
Seize The Breach: Why breaches still occur and how to mitigate them
Breaches happen and 2021 was a record-breaking year for them. According to Identity Theft Resource Center (ITRC) research, there were 1,291 breaches publicly reported in 2021 as of Sept. 2021 compared to 1,108 breaches in 2020; that’s a 17% year-over-year increase. Meanwhile, millions are spent on security operations centers that aren’t stopping the breaches from happening. Join us for a presentation on:
· Why breaches are usually occurring
· How machine learning-driven analytics and automation technologies provide unmatched threat detection, investigation, and response (TDIR) capabilities so security teams can respond more quickly and accurately to seize the breach and mitigate damage
· A simple maturity model based on outcomes and use cases that can vastly improve Security Operations
Presentation
Optimizing the Human Element of Cybersecurity
Human error is the most common portal for cybersecurity breaches. So it stands to reason that human talent is the most valuable defense against attacks. How can organizations reduce risk by making humans the strongest link in the cyber defense line? In this session, we will be taking a deeper look at:
· How approaches to cyber defense are changing to keep pace with the ever-evolving threats of hackers
· What motivates cyber professionals
· How to make humans the strongest link in the cyber defense line
Presentation
Security Programs That Thrive In Economic Uncertainty
As the world braces for a possible recession, companies are already beginning to tighten their belts and restrict spending in security departments. Yet if 2021 and the explosion of ransomware, new nation-state sponsored security attacks, and the skyrocketing cyber insurance premiums taught us anything it is that security programs must continue to improve in order to stand a chance at meeting today’s cybersecurity challenges. In this presentation Bill Bernard will challenge security leaders to re-evaluate their programs, and provide insight into how to maximize your security team’s chances to not only survive, but thrive in this challenging situation through an honest evaluation of your program, realignment to company goals, and efficient use of your available resources.
Presentation
Stopping Attacks, Not Your Business: AI & Autonomous Response
Presentation
2022 Security Trends with Arctic Wolf
2021 was a landmark year in cybersecurity.The rapid, piecemeal changes businesses made on the fly to infrastructure, applications, and access controls during 2020’s huge shift to remote work were now under scrutiny, while security teams were still busy defending against the litany of attacks and attack methods.
As the size, scope, and sophistication of attacks continued to grow, many organizations spent the past year overwhelmed by perpetual change—wondering when, where, and how things will ever improve.
Join Sule Tatar of Arctic Wolf to learn how to keep your company out of the news. Key takeaways from this session include:
- The importance of a multi-pronged cybersecurity strategy
- The new and creative ways that companies are being effected by cybercrimes
- Industries that are most vulnerable to cybercrimes
Presentation
Zero Trust and Microsegmentation – Easier Than You Think
- Gaining visibility to where you are the most vulnerable
- Closing risky ports
- Leveraging tools you already have in place without adding layers of complexity
While the journey can seem intimidating, we’ll help you realize that it doesn’t take a team of 100 or a PhD to deploy zero trust microsegmentation that will protect your organization and keep ransomware at bay.
Presentation
Is Your Defensive Stack Ready For A Targeted Attack?
Understanding the potential risks in a security program leads to a healthy security program. Penetration testing allows for this identification of risk, but frequent or continuous testing is not widely adopted across the industry. Automated Security Validation (ASV) allows organizations to identify and close any gaps by continually putting existing tools and controls to the test, and focusing on impact-based remediation vs. generic severity to make decisions. We will discuss in depth how taking an offensive approach, through Automated Security Validation, enhances a team’s current defensive strategies.
Presentation
It Takes More than Automated Compliance to Get Ahead of Threats
In a 2021 survey of CIOs, respondents cited limited resources, new or changing regulations and tracking and maintaining compliance as the top three challenges keeping them up at night. With teams stretched thin trying to keep up with compliance requirements and growing numbers of threats and stakeholder demands, manual processes can no longer keep up.
Automation is a strong first step in reducing manual work and freeing up your team’s workload. However, it is insufficient if it doesn’t help your InfoSec leaders clearly communicate the risk associated with the organization’s business priorities so they can make informed, data-driven investment decisions.
The ability to focus on strategic business priorities helps optimize the talents of small InfoSec teams. When you automate the more tactical and routine work, a more reliable and comprehensive approach to GRC is created while optimizing your teams’ talent by freeing them from manual work.
Join us as we discuss how taking a strategic approach to risk management combined with automation can ensure that businesses stay ahead of the threats they face every day.
Attend this webinar and learn how to:
- Focus your planning efforts around your organization’s strategic business priorities
- Be more proactive by automating evidence collection, risk scoring and monitoring
- Gain actionable insights to help you clearly communicate with key stakeholders
