Speaker: John Dickson, The Denim Group
It’s simply impossible today to do business or manage life’s challenges without using the Internet and e-mail. Despite significant advances in security technologies and countless mainstream articles about the threats associated with Internet use, new successful scams continue to pop up every day. Recent investigations into common security breaches reveal that the majority of users reported that they suspected that something was strange, but continued their transactions or communications anyway.
This presentation will introduce a number of clever exploits that attackers use to steal sensitive information and financial data. These exploits will be shown in an interactive way, giving the audience an opportunity to decide whether the scenario is safe – or not.
John is a superb public speaker, a security rock star and current President of the Alamo Chapter of the International Systems Security Association (the MPI equivalent for security). John leads the Denim Group, one of the area’s fastest growing technology companies. He is also heavily involved in San Antonio’s initiatives to become “Cyber City USA”.
