Sherri Davidoff Data Breaches6:30 PM

Every day, a new data breach hits the news. Shockingly, the number of breaches that actually get reported represents just a small fraction of those that occur. Join us for a fast-paced discussion with Sherri Davidoff, author of the brand new book 'Data Breaches: Crisis and Opportunity.' In this talk, she’ll discuss why breaches do— and don’t— get reported, and showcase details from newly released FBI files on a historic data breach, including the first data breach notification letter. We’ll delve into classic security problems such as insider attack, shared passwords, vendor risks. Finally, we’ll discuss what to expect as data breach response practices change in the years to come.

Sherri Davidoff is the CEO of both LMG Security and BrightWise, Inc. As a recognized expert in digital forensics and cybersecurity, Sherri has been called a “security badass” by the New York Times. She has conducted cybersecurity training for many distinguished organizations, including the FDIC/FFIEC, the American Bar Association, the Department of Defense, and many more. Sherri is a faculty member at the Pacific Coast Banking School, and an instructor for Black Hat, where she teaches her “Data Breaches” course. She is also the coauthor of Network Forensics: Tracking Hackers Through Cyberspace (Prentice Hall, 2012), a noted security text in the private sector and a college textbook for many cybersecurity courses. Sherri is a GIAC-certified forensic examiner (GCFA) and penetration tester (GPEN), and holds her degree in Computer Science and Electrical Engineering from MIT. She has also been featured as the protagonist in Breaking and Entering: The Extraordinary Story of a Hacker Called 'Alien.’ Her new book on “Data Breaches” was just released in October.
