Dear Rob,
On
April 27, 2017 the ISSA-KC Chapter members, and other security
professionals will hold a meeting at Brio's Restaurant on the Plaza to
network and attend the monthly chapter meeting, with presentation topic.
Speaker Bio:
George Salemie, Synack
Topic:
Crowdsourcing - the Evolution of Application Security and Penetration
Testing
Bio: George has over 20 years of experience in information technology
with the last 12 years in information security. After graduating from
WUSTL with a B.S. in Electrical Engineering and minor in Computer
Science, he started his career as a network engineer for Shell Oil and
then went on to work for a number of tech start-ups including Livingston
Enterprises (acquired by Alcatel Lucent, now Nokia), Redback Networks
(acquired by Ericsson) and Anue Systems (acquired by Ixia, now Keysight
Technologies). He also founded and self-funded his own tech-startup,
RedDot Networks, which developed custom, FPGA-based appliances for
application performance testing and security. George currently works for
Synack as the South Central Regional Director. He is also a member for
the advisory board for the Austin InfraGard Chapter, a mentor for the AFA
CyberPatriot program and a member of the Capitol of Texas ISSA Chapter.
Brief Description of
Topic: Crowdsourcing has proven to be an incredibly
effective way to undertake a task or solve a problem by leveraging the
skills, diversity, creativity and scale of an open or private group of
people on a local, regional or global basis. Given the shortage of information
security professionals, crowdsourcing application security and
penetration testing has been effectively adopted by countless
organizations and government agencies, including the Department of
Defense and Internal Revenue Service. This presentation will provide a
brief history of crowdsourcing applied to various areas and then detail
how it is applied to information security, specifically application
security and penetration testing.
