Agenda


 

Emerging Risks

William Evanina, Director, National Counterintelligence & Security Center 

Brian Harrell, Assistant Director, DHS Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA)

Who better to join us in a discussion of the brutal truths of our global emerging risk situation than Bill Evanina whose interview by Lynn Mattice was one of the most engaging of last year’s Summit? Brian Harrell joins in to discuss the current and emerging risk landscape on the domestic front.


The Weaponization of Social Media

Peter Singer, Strategist, New America

Author Peter Singer will discuss key findings in his book, LikeWar. He will explore the collision of war, politics, and social media, where the most important battles are now only a click away. The result is that war, tech, and politics have blurred into a new kind of battlespace that plays out on our smartphones.


 

Millennials View of Security and Why it Matters

Marek N. Posard, PhD, Associate Social Scientist, RAND Corporation

According to the US Census Bureau, baby boomers officially constitute their own generation because of the unprecedented increase in birth rates after World War II. Other groups, including millennials and Generation X, are not as readily definable as generations. So, when Posard and his colleagues analyzed 1,600 in the Rand American Life Panel survey responses to questions about perceptions of personal and national security, they knew they would have to look at the data from multiple angles. The results give rich insights into the current thinking of each generation.


 

Lessons Learned from an Active Shooter Exercise

Dr. Stephen Flynn, Founder & Executive Director, Global Resilience Institute at Northeastern University

Northeastern University’s Global Resilience Institute joined the Massachusetts State Police and the Transportation Security Administration, along with a myriad of other agencies to conduct a large-scale, active-shooter exercise at Logan International Airport in Boston. Dr. Flynn will cover a broad range of lessons learned that resulted from this large-scale exercise which can be of great value to attendees in the analysis of how these lessons learned can be applied to their own active shooter programs.


The Risks and the Opportunities that Emerging Physical Security Technology Advances will Bring

Phil Aronson, SVP Enterprise Solutions, ADT Commercial

Robert Dodge, EVP Corporate Services, G4S

Erik Schluntz, Co-Founder & CTO, Cobalt Robotics

Don Taussig, Director of Global Security Services, Land O’ Lakes, Inc. 

Leading technology executives will join us for a panel discussion that will explore what it means to create an intelligent platform to manage risk and to manage the growing opportunities of cross over value of the security technology infrastructure. They will also provide a glimpse of what is around the corner that cannot be ignored.


The Risks and the Opportunities that Emerging Security Software Tools will Bring

Michael Affronti, Senior Vice President, Dataminr

Jeff Highman, Chief Technology Office, Endera

Imad Mouline, Chief Technology Officer, Everbridge

Johnathan Aguila, Director, Global Security Systems & Technology, Facebook

Leading security software technology executives will join us for a panel discussion that will explore advances in tools to enhance a security organization’s productivity, streamline processes and gain control of vast amounts of data.


Protecting Intellectual Property in Hostile Environments

Tom Moyer, Chief Compliance Officer & Head of Security, Apple, Inc.

 Apple is one of the most innovative companies in the world and is also the most attacked. Like most of us, their weakest point can be in the intentional or unintentional act of an employee. Protecting a company’s intellectual property becomes even more complicated when state sponsored efforts target IP theft from a company or industry to further the goals of that country. This case study will provide our community a first-hand look at the problem and the attempts at a working risk mitigation strategy and plan.


 

Truth Decay and the Diminishing Reliance on Facts and Analysis

Jennifer Kavanaugh, Sr. Political Scientist, RAND Corporation

 Over the past two decades, political and civil discourse at the national level in the United States has been characterized by “Truth Decay,” defined as a set of four interrelated trends: an increasing disagreement about facts and analytical interpretations of facts and data; a blurring of the line between opinion and fact; an increase in the relative volume, and resulting influence, of opinion and personal experience over fact; and, a declining trust in formerly respected sources of factual information. The most damaging consequences of “Truth Decay” include the erosion of civil discourse, political paralysis, alienation and disengagement of individuals from political and civic institutions, and uncertainty over national policy.
