Agenda

Threat methods and controls utilized for the corporate workforce that now expands beyond the office building and into remote locations is not as comprehensive and effective for those who are typically in the office. The intent of employees may not be malicious but rather inherent to poor practices; however, there are those who happen to begin unintentional but gradually become the intentional insider threat.

This presentation is designed to help individuals identify how seemingly “innocent” activity can make them an insider threat, and how to identify behavioral elements utilizing a number of security solutions. Through live demonstrations, we will show how “everyday activities” can result in higher risk to the company.

Objectives:

• Learn the methodologies utilized by individuals within the organization that would be considered insider threat activity.
• Learn how to identify system and user-based behavioral indicators.
• Learn which existing or enhanced security layer can provide insider threat profile data.

Take-Aways:

• How to identify business processes which can contribute to intentional or unintentional insider threats.
• Enhance procedures required to identify insider threat exposures.
• Enhance awareness training to include additional methods of insider threat.
• Enhance existing physical and digital security layers to better identify specific insider threat activity.

In this presentation, we address the critical challenge of defending electoral processes against targeted campaigns, elections and social engineering tactics. As elections increasingly become targets for cyber interference, safeguarding against these threats is paramount. We examine how campaigns and elections are targeted by malicious actors, aiming to disrupt democratic practices and sway voter sentiment.

Through case studies and real-world examples, we illustrate the impact of social engineering on constituents, highlighting how misinformation and manipulation tactics can influence voter behavior and swing election outcomes. We also discuss strategies to prevent and mitigate these threats, including robust cybersecurity measures, public awareness campaigns, and enhanced education on recognizing and combating social engineering tactics.

By understanding the tactics used by malicious actors and implementing proactive defenses, we can better protect the integrity of electoral processes and ensure that voters are empowered to make informed decisions. Join us as we explore practical steps to defend against targeted campaigns and safeguard the democratic process.
