RVA5ec Sold Out – Waiting List and Ticket Transfers

We have had a lot of emails coming in from people hoping to get tickets to RVA5ec.  While we are pleased that we are sold out, unfortunately we are at capacity at this point.

If you are still interested in attending please email us and we will add you to the waitlist.   Please note that you will most likely not be able to get a bag/shirt and will not get a hackable badge.

Also, if for some reason you are not able to attend RVA5ec last minute, please note that there are quite a few people that are already on the wait list.  You can email us to let us know (while we can’t provide refunds this late) as we might be able help someone else attend.  Also, it is possible to transfer your ticket.

Ticket Transfers
Log in to your Eventbrite account and go to My Tickets (you may need to create an account using the email address you registered).

You can then view your Current Orders (select RVAsec), and “Edit details” for the ticket. Changing the “Contact Information” will update the name of the person registered to check in at the conference. You can also change the questions asked at registration, which will help us plan for parking, catering and other items.

Refunds
No refunds for the conference will be issued after May 10th.

 

Keynote Feature: Wendy Nather

@RCISCwendyWendy Nather

Retail Cyber Intelligence Sharing Center (R-CISC)
Wendy Nather is Research Director at the Retail Cyber Intelligence Sharing Center (R-CISC), where she is responsible for advancing the state of resources and knowledge to help organizations defend their infrastructure from attackers.

She led IT security for the EMEA region of the investment banking division of Swiss Bank Corporation (now UBS), as well as for the Texas Education Agency. She speaks regularly in locations around the world on topics ranging from threat intelligence to identity and access management, risk analysis, incident response, data security, and societal and privacy issues. Wendy is co-author of The Cloud Security Rules, and was listed as one of SC Magazine’s Women in IT Security “Power Players” in 2014. She is an advisory board member for the RSA Conference, and serves on the board of directors for Securing Change, an organization that helps provide free security services to nonprofit groups.

We Need to Talk…

How do you move threat intelligence sharing from Gossip to Grownup? It takes more than technology: it takes social engineering on a massive scale. Wendy Nather will talk about the process of standing up a new ISAC, the barriers to intel exchange, the Wacky Races of platform and feed providers, and the role government has to play (spoiler: it’s not what you think). The future of threat intelligence is going to be fewer steak dinners and pew-pew maps; it’s going to look more like the Neighborhood Watch on social media. Grab a cup of coffee and let’s meet at the firewall.
