November 2017 ISACA Luncheon - Security Containerization

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! |

<p>Welcome to the PDXNode Hack Night!</p> <p><b><br></b></p> <p><b>What is a PDXNode Hack Night?</b></p> <p>PDXNode Hack Nights are your opportunity to enjoy a low-pressure JavaScript-centric environment where you shouldn't feel like you're supposed to do anything. 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. We're pumped to see what you've been working on!</p> <p>
<i>Some general stuff to remember:</i></p> <p><b><br></b></p> <p><b>Help is available!</b></p> <p>There will be seasoned Nodesters ready and available to help anyone with questions or advice in any of the hack-zones: beginners, solo, and group projects. Feel free to reach out and ask at any time throughout the evening.</p> <p><b><br></b></p> <p><b>Do what you want to do</b></p> <p>Above all, we hope for this to be an easy-going event for people to do what they want to do with the time we have. Make the time awesome, it's yours. 😎</p> <p><b><br></b></p> <p><b>Code of Conduct</b></p> <p>PDXNode continues to abide by its Code of Conduct, and we ask everyone to commit to keeping to it in order for all of us to have a safe, fun, and amazing time.</p> <p>
Wahoo! See you then! 🎉🎉 💻 🎉🎉</p> |

Driving Retail Growth through Technology Innovation
Roll back
| 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.

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

PDX Women in Tech (PDXWIT) Why Gender-Inclusive Software Matters to Everyone
Roll back
| 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).

Want to learn how Bitcoin and Ethereum work, how cryptography plays a key role in securing funds, or how a network of untrusted computers guessing random numbers quadrillions of times per second adds security to the blockchain? Join Scott Bigelow in an introduction to the blockchain and some common blockchain-based applications. New technologies, such as the blockchain and Ethereum, can provide new opportunities in the startup-rich ecosystem of Portland. Additionally, understanding these revolutionary new design principles can help illuminate new ways of designing your own systems. No previous working knowledge of cryptography or other supporting technologies necessary, this will be a ground-up introduction.

PDX Women in Tech (PDXWIT) Happy Hour Networking Event
Roll back
| description |
***Registration through Eventbrite is required to avoid having to manually check-in at the event***
We are celebrating Giving Tuesday by joining forces with Free Geek for our Happy Hour on November 28th.
PDXWIT exists as a way to encourage, support and empower women in the Portland tech community. One way to feel empowered is to lift each other at work, and because we feel this is so important, we’ve made it the theme of this event. The conversation starter is “What's something new you can do to empower your coworkers and colleagues?”
In the spirit of giving, we will be offering a number of ways to give back to your community:
• Donate your used electronics to support Free Geek
• P:ear is organizing a “Women Supporting the Women” bra and underwear drive! For young, homeless women, it is hard to find support for their diverse and changing bodies. Let’s give them the support they need! Bring in gift certificates to Ross or other easy-to-access clothing stores for custom purchases, or raid your wardrobe for new or very lightly used bras. All sizes are needed. Practical styles encouraged, including sports and maternity. New underwear also encouraged.
• Sign up to be an individual or sustaining supporter for PDXWIT and get a green shirt!
While the event is primarily intended for networking, we will have a short segment at 5:30 to share important announcements and showcase three women in our community.
᛫ Introduction to Free Geek, including what they do and what job opportunities are available.
᛫ Pippa Arend, Development Director at p:ear, will talk about Ladies Supporting the Ladies.
᛫ Commissioner Smith will talk about how Multnomah County is giving women and people of color access to startup funds.
During the event, we’ll have more to do than free-form networking:
᛫ An Activity Table where people can get creative. This is a fantastic way to meet others if large groups are not your thing. If you have trouble finding it, look for Meg Aul, our Event Activities Director.
᛫ Table Topics to help break the ice.
᛫ A section for job seekers and those hiring, to ensure people get connected.

PDXWIT Presents Invest in Yourself: A Night Dedicated to Your Financial Plan
Roll back
| description |
We can always find excuses to avoid working on our financial plan. It’s boring. It’s confusing. I’ll do it next week. I don’t have the money. This is a huge problem. In a world where women earn less money than men and spend, on average, eleven fewer years in the workforce, women have to plan and work harder than their male counterparts. No more excuses! It’s time to take ahold of financial planning so that you can make clear, confident money decisions that will best benefit your future.
Join us for an evening of discussion about all things personal finance. The speaker will be Amanda Holden of Invested Development, who uses humor and candor to educate women on long-term financial planning and investing. She will be available for questions after the presentation.
This event does not require any prior experience with financial planning.

Roll back
| description |
Are you looking for an event to get better acquainted with Virtual Reality? In partnership with Joshua Alan Young from the Portland VR Meetup, co-organizers Judy Fischbach and Marguerite Gallagher invite you to come learn what Virtual Reality offers and to understand why there is so much trending interest. An emerging technology that is expected to impact many fields, including entertainment, journalism, education, and health care, VR/AR has been identified by the Technology Association of Oregon as one of top areas of technology growth in our state. The community in Portland is gaining momentum. It's an exciting time for many of us to jump in as the technology is so new. The playing field is more level and there is much interest beyond non-technology in areas such as the arts and education. The integrative nature of creating applications in VR can be unique and fun!
Don’t know where to begin? We will have an overview, hands-on opportunities to experience the technology, and information on tools and resources. Our panel will include speakers from the community on VR education and on companies/projects with promising VR related work which demonstrates the variety of exciting applications. Bring your questions!
We promise this will be a fun and memorable evening as we explore ways to grow community together in this fascinating new area of technology!

An interactive 360 exploration of artist Rosana Ybarra's solo exhibition Hauberk. Hauberk is a collection of works that act as hybrid between the amulet (a good luck charm) and the shield which would protect the heart. They are spiritual armor in physical form, a psychic safety zone. They say: better to have false comfort than no comfort at all.

AgilePDX: If You're Agile, Dance!
Roll back
| description |
Today companies need Agile throughout. But how can they go beyond software to include even board and basic legal structure? Share and comment on the journey Jutta Eckstein and I are on to answer that question. We first generalize the Manifesto to values of: self-organization, transparency, constant customer focus, and continuous learning. Then, deepen these values by adding Beyond Budgeting, Open Space, Sociocracy. A new organigram emerges that synthesizes board, inspiration, resource support, and value center perspectives and focuses them on the customer. Finally, use Cynefin to implement company-wide Agility, and then dance!
Format: The presentation will cycle between presenting ideas, posing questions audience small groups, and providing brief moments for sharing and reflection.
Bio:
John Buck lives near Washington, DC, USA, and is a division director for The Sociocracy Group, an international foundation headquartered in Rotterdam, Netherlands.
John has led dozens of sociocracy implementation projects for a variety of organizations around the globe, ranging from schools and neighborhoods to NGOs and for-profit manufacturers and IT companies using Agile. He believes that such basic values as equality, effectivness, and transparency can make our work places dramatically more elegant and sustainable. He excels in customizing sociocracy principles to each organization’s particular concerns, work schedules, and professional areas.
John was the first person outside of The Netherlands to receive consultant certification from The Sociocracy Group in Rotterdam, Netherlands. He has translated numerous documents from the original Dutch and is coauthor (with Sharon Villines) of We the People: Consenting to a Deeper Democracy, 2007 & updated 2017. Another book, Company-Wide Agility with Beyond Budgeting, Open Space, and Sociocracy, coauthored with Jutta Eckstein, is 70% complete in LeanPub.com. He also is part of a joint project with Fujitsu's Advanced Software Lab to create an app called Weaver to support meetings in-person, online, and offline.
Education and credentials
-- Master of Science degree in Quantitative Sociology, The George Washington University
-- Certified Sociocratic Consultant |

Co-presented by Long Now, this is an evening of inspiration and insight from luminaries across disciplines working toward a more inclusive and ethical culture. This evening kicks off the first ever DazzleCon: a gathering bringing together startup founders building businesses that refuse to compromise societal health for shareholder wealth. We call these companies "zebras" and a group of zebras is called a "dazzle." Hence: DazzleCon!
DazzleCon Day 2 + 3 are invite only, but all are invited to join the global group of zebra entrepreneurs for this dynamic opening night event. Hear from some of the most thoughtful minds working at the intersections of business, art, culture and the next economy.

Come join the Portland Drupal community and chat about all the good things from last week's BADCamp! I'll be there around 6:30pm.
On the fourth Tuesday of each month, we get together to chat, work on projects, ask questions of our fellow Drupalers, and have a pint.
Brewpal takes place around 5-6pm at the Lucky Lab in NW Portland (1945 NW Quimby St, Portland, OR 97209). We meet, work on our projects, and ask questions of our neighbors with no formal agenda.
These meetups are for ALL levels of Drupal users. Come with your laptop, a project to work on and some questions. We'll learn a bit from each other and get some work done while having a beer! And, if you're not into beer, they have some solid food options. |

PDXWIT is excited to announce the launch of Project Presentations Event. Collaboration, support, and the ability to clearly communicate about your project are critical factors for success. The brainchild of Nathan Keene and Abeer Eltanawy, this event is designed to:
Introduce new ideas within our community
Find solutions to project challenges
Encourage networking and collaboration
Improve presentation skills
Create access to mentors
Provide a safe space to learn and grow
Help you accelerate your project
Who is it for?
Members with a coding, hacking or maker project seeking a supportive audience to provide potential solutions to challenges, constructive questions and feedback. Please apply!.
Members with a pet project on the back burner (or the front one!) who would like to present, discuss and gain traction? Come on out and share it!
Folks interested in hearing about innovative projects and providing helpful audience feedback. Join us!
How does it work?
Here’s the scoop:
The event starts with 15 minutes of networking. We will also encourage you to reconvene informally at the end.

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.
Our events are inclusive. All people who support our purpose are welcome.

Help Stencila to reinvent spreadsheets for reproducible research @ Oregon Health and Science University

### Help Stencila to reinvent spreadsheets for reproducible research.
*When:* Friday November 10th, 2017 - 2 pm- 4 pm, Hacky Hour with the [BioData Club](https://biodata-club.github.io/) following the session.
*Where:* OHSU Collaborative Life Sciences Building (CLSB) room #1S019
*Questions:* [email protected]
Spreadsheets are widely used in all fields of research - for everything from data entry to simulation modelling. But spreadsheets can be error prone and don’t fit well into a reproducible workflow.
Stencila is trying to make reproducible research more widespread by making it more accessible. Stencila Sheets provide a familiar spreadsheet interface but are built from the ground up to leverage the power of languages like R, Python, and SQL, and with reproducibility at their core. We want to show you what we are building, but we are also looking for the opinions, experiences, and ideas of people who work with data across various research domains.
- What are the great things about spreadsheets? Why are they used by so many researchers?
- What problems do spreadsheets have? What are the challenges to making them more reproducible?
- If you could start over, what would you change about spreadsheets? Which features of conventional spreadsheet software would you change? What would you add? What would you take away?
Join us to share your ideas and help shape Stencila Sheets... and the future of reproducible research!
RSVP: https://ti.to/codeforscience/stencila-at-oregon-health-and-science-university
Stencila is an open source project funded by a grant from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, under the umbrella of the Oregon-based non-profit [Code for Science & Society](codeforscience.org). |
