While Cyber Threat Intelligence is a relatively new field, we can draw upon classic intelligence approaches to better secure our organizations. Throughout the Summit, we'll be going old school by examining traditional intelligence methods and techniques; and applying them to cyber threat intelligence.

The Summit & Training will explore the following:

How classic intelligence approaches are applied to CTI analysis and production
Interesting perspectives and case studies that challenge CTI assumptions and result in a shift in understanding
Classic methods of producing Cyber Threat Intelligence
Implementing and making decisions based off of intelligence
Case studies on the application of cyber threat intelligence to a security or business problem
Innovative ways to utilize or analyze CTI with classic techniques
New tools developed to support or enable CTI

A full day of training on various subjects by expert trainers kicks off the conference on January 23rd. World renowned speakers follow on days two and three.

New friendships will be born, new techniques for securing your environments and applications will be shared, as you become inspired by your peers.

Consumers enjoy recommendations based on their television viewing habits (“viewers who watched Mr. Robot… may enjoy Fight Club”), but who else knows what you’re watching? The golden age of television has arrived with the golden age of television tracking. In 2016, virtually all television delivery systems – smart TVs, streaming devices, game consoles, apps, and even old-fashioned set top boxes – track consumers’ viewing habits, and sometimes in new and unexpected ways. Television and streaming device manufacturers, software developers, and the advertising industry are collaborating to learn more about what consumers are watching. These collaborations are allowing advertisers to precisely target consumers and better understand what ads are working. Consumers may even find advertisements based on their television viewing habits appearing on their phones and desktop browsers. The Smart TV workshop will explore the following questions:

What are the roles of hardware manufacturers and software developers in creating tracking technologies?
What do consumers understand about how their entertainment preferences are being tracked, disclosed, and used for various purposes?
How are entertainment preferences being linked to individuals or to individuals’ device graphs?
How is the advertising industry using this information?
What are some best practices for addressing consumer privacy on entertainment systems?

ACSAC is an internationally recognized forum where practitioners, researchers, and developers in information system security meet to learn and to exchange practical ideas and experiences.
If you are developing practical solutions to problems relating to protecting commercial enterprises' or countries' information infrastructures, consider submitting your work to the Annual Computer Security Applications Conference.

We solicit submissions that address the application of security technology, the implementation of systems, and lessons learned. While we are interested in a variety of topics, we especially encourage submissions in the area of our Hard Topic Theme for 2016, Security and Privacy in the Internet of Things

Conducted either as a one-day or two-day event, CSX workshops place special emphasis on key cybersecurity topics and offer more in-depth and hands-on experiences than the standard session. Similar to the cyber tracks, the workshops are designed around varying levels of expertise, so that both beginners and experts can focus on the materials most beneficial to their organization.

Americans are increasingly familiar with drones, also known as Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS). These devices have become one of consumers’ most popular technology purchases; some estimate nearly one million new drones will be purchased in 2016. The National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) is currently convening multi-stakeholder meetings to develop and communicate best practices for privacy, accountability, and transparency issues regarding commercial and private drone use. We expect these meetings will provide important input for the Commission’s event. The drones workshop will explore the following questions related to commercial uses of drones:

What are the uses and consumer benefits of drones for consumers today? Where is drone technology headed?
What are the unique privacy and security concerns associated with drone technologies and the data collected from them?
How are these concerns currently being addressed by businesses, self-regulatory efforts, and foreign regulators?
Is there a need for further guidance?
