create Calagator::Event 1250472739 November 2017 ISACA Luncheon - Security Containerization Roll back

description nil ISACA Luncheon Event: Security Container Adoption in Enterprise Environments Across the world, organizations are using containerization technologies such as Docker and Kubernetes as a security boundary without a strong understanding of the underlying design. These technologies are often misconfigured, which can provide attackers with a means to gain a foothold within an organization, elevate privileges, or spread laterally throughout a modern enterprise network. During this presentation, we will analyze common use cases for a containerization environment and demonstrate tools these technologies provide to protect the host from an attacker within the container. We will discuss in detail the common threats facing these environments, as well as technical and administrative controls to detect and protect against attacks on containerization infrastructure. Speaker: Lucas Rosvar, NCC Group Lucas Rosevear has been a Security Consultant at NCC Group since September, 2015, working from NCC's Seattle, WA office. Through projects at NCC Group, Lucas has performed a range of testing, including: - Network Penetration Testing - Web Application Penetration Testing - Blackbox and Config-assisted Container Reviews - AWS Config Reviews Prior to NCC Group, Lucas became an OSCP and a member of the Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society. Cost: ISACA Members: $25.00 Guests and Non-Members: $30.00 We expect this event to sell out. Attendance will be limited to the first 70 registrations. Do not delay, and register today!

First and foremost–just come and enjoy yourself. The night is yours: hang, hack, learn, or do whatever you’re interested in doing. 🙌</p> <p>Depending on the size and interests of our attending group, we have various paths the night could go, and may or may not attempt some of the following:</p> <p><b><br></b></p> <p><b>Map Ctrl-H into Hackerspace Regions</b></p> <p>The hackerspace will be mapped into 'regions', and you can feel free to gravitate towards whichever one suits your interest! </p> <p>• A place for beginners who want to get going with node for the first time.<br>• A place for people who want to work on their own projects (eg. projects you want to do outside of work, but need to find the time).<br>• A place for people to just hang out and connect.<br>• A place for people to work on projects in groups!</p> <p><b><br></b></p> <p><b>'Unconference'-style Team Hacks</b></p> <p>For team-hackers, we'll have a board up and sticky-notes available available at the beginning of the night. Anyone can feel free to write the name and/or description of something they'd like to hack on with other people–and others who're interested can feel free to go to that region and join in!</p> <p><b><br></b></p> <p><b>End of Night Show and Tell</b></p> <p>There will be a list available to write your name, or team's name down on to give a quick show and tell of your projects at the end of the night.

description ***Registration through Eventbrite (https://www.eventbrite.com/e/pdx-women-in-tech-pdxwit-driving-retail-growth-through-technology-innovation-tickets-38715540223) is required to avoid having to manually check-in at the event *** Description: QuoteCenter, located in Vancouver, Washington, was a $0 sales channel upon its acquisition by The Home Depot in 2013. By 2016, QuoteCenter drove more than $650 million in pro contractor sales to the world's fourth largest retailer, The Home Depot. However, with the growth in online marketplaces and the professional contractor market, QuoteCenter is fast becoming the confluence of products and services that pro contractors need to purchase the materials they need to serve their customers. Although their history lies in the in-store buying experience, QuoteCenter finds itself on the doorstep of a new age in commerce that blends technology innovation with the agility of a most talented retail workforce. Join us in learning how The Home Depot QuoteCenter is leading the way into an exciting new commerce age. QuoteCenter has become a model for employers in the Portland area for how to build a strong, diverse team. An original Clark County rural startup, they struggled early to build a diverse team of professionals. In the last 9 months, however, 40% of their 51 new hires have been women. Agenda: Welcome “How we turned the QuoteCenter diversity trend around” by Mike Lee, Talent Acquisition “Where I fit in at the Quote Center” by Kelly Smith, Senior Reporting Analyst “The only one in the room: success and failure on the way to diversity" by Whitney Williams, Front End Developer Q & A Event FAQ: Q. What is the parking situation? A. Paid street parking is available. Q. Is there secure bike parking? A. The secure bike parking is in the parking garage and requires a FOB for the building. However, there are racks in front of the building. Q. Should I consider using public transportation? A. We are close to the street and not far from bus routes. However, we would recommend driving and plenty of street parking is available. Purpose: PDXWIT is a community-based non-profit organization. Our purpose is to strengthen the Portland women in tech community by offering educational programs, partnerships, mentorships, resources and opportunities. We are unifying a supportive environment for current and potential women in tech, all of whom are committed to helping each other. Our goal is to bring together and empower women in tech and to encourage others to pursue tech careers. This is our step towards reducing the gender imbalance in the industry and addressing the current negative effects of that imbalance on women. Trans and non-binary people are always welcome at our events. ***Registration through Eventbrite (https://www.eventbrite.com/e/pdx-women-in-tech-pdxwit-driving-retail-growth-through-technology-innovation-tickets-38715540223) is required to avoid having to manually check-in at the event *** Description: QuoteCenter, located in Vancouver, Washington, was a $0 sales channel upon its acquisition by The Home Depot in 2013.

description *Seating is limited, please plan to arrive early to ensure a seat!* We are hosting an event to further the cause of inclusivity, focused on gender. By attending, you’ll earn talking points about why gender-inclusive software matters to your business, to our society, and to everyone. You will leave with an idea of how to achieve it in your own software with a practical and freely available method called GenderMag. We will also discuss ideas about how you can help make software more inclusive to diversity of thought. This event is suitable for anyone who helps shape software (software managers, software developers, UXers, tech CEOs, tech CIOs, ...) About the speaker: Margaret Burnett is an OSU Distinguished Professor at Oregon State University. She began her career in industry, where she was the first woman software developer ever hired at Procter & Gamble Ivorydale. A few degrees and shattered glass ceilings later, she joined academia, with a research focus on people who are engaged in some form of software development. Burnett is an ACM Distinguished Scientist, a member of the ACM CHI Academy, and an award-winning mentor. She is also on the Academic Alliance Advisory Board of the National Center for Women In Technology (NCWIT).
