SUMMARY:Guidepoint sponsors NAC-ISSA August 2025 lunch
DESCRIPTION:Join NAC-ISSA as Guidepoint and Asimily (https://asimily.com) sponsor our August chapter lunch. \n\n\n\nBest of Both Worlds: Strategies to Break Down IT/OT Security Silos and Accelerate Innovation \n\n\n\nIT and OT were never meant to be the same\, but managing them in traditional silos\, while thought to be important to reducing the attack surface\, is holding organizations back. With digital initiatives like AI and industrial automation fueling demand for new and connected digital systems on the plant floor\, OT leaders face mounting pressure to enable innovation without compromising security\, safety or uptime. But OT Security programs often stall when the competing requirements of IT\, OT\, Engineering\, and management teams collide causing project delays\, increasing the risk of vulnerable systems\, and production downtime.  If the right tools and strategies are applied\, IT/OT silos can be removed\, reducing risk\, improving collaboration between IT\, OT and the business and accelerating innovation.  \n\n\n\nPresenter:  Oren Niskin (https://www.linkedin.com/in/orenniskin/) is a Senior Security Engineer in the OT Security Practice at Guidepoint Security. Oren has been in the Operational Technology (OT) field for more than 20 years. Starting in the Nuclear Reactor Department of a US Navy aircraft carrier\, Oren has maintained industrial control systems aboard oil rigs\, managed the OT cybersecurity program for a global drilling contractor\, and successfully guided a wide array of manufacturing and utility organizations as an OT security consultant. Oren holds a Bachelor’s degree in Nuclear Engineering Technology from Thomas Edison University and a Master of Science in Information Security Engineering (MSISE) from the renowned SANS Technical Institute. \n\n\n\nWe will be back at our usual haunt at The Auburn University Research and Innovation Center in Research Park.  Catering will be Rosie’s Mexican Restaurant and the door prize is a Linksys AC-1750 dual-band Wifi 5 Router.

SUMMARY:DC256 Meetup: Delivering RF-Triggered Cyber Effects
DESCRIPTION:As platforms become increasingly networked and reliant on embedded systems\, adversaries are exploring new methods to deliver cyber effects—without ever touching the internet. This session explores the evolving threat of Cyber-Electromagnetic Convergence (CEWC)\, where RF signals are used to deliver or trigger malicious code\, disrupt bus protocols\, or manipulate system behavior. With real-world use cases targeting embedded systems\, attendees will learn how SDRs\, AI-driven waveform fuzzing\, and data bus injection techniques (e.g.\, CAN\, MIL-STD-1553) can emulate insider\, near-sider\, and outsider threat models. The talk will also examine key performance parameters and current technology gaps\, offering a roadmap for integrating CEWC realism into testing campaigns. \n\n\n\nTalk Title: Silent Intrusion – Delivering RF-Triggered Cyber Effects🔍 Topics Covered:• Cyber-Electromagnetic Convergence (CEWC)• AI-driven SDR waveform fuzzing• Data bus injection: CAN & MIL-STD-1553• Insider vs outsider threat modeling• Real-world case studies• Technology gaps in CEWC testingThis is a must-attend session for those in embedded systems\, RF\, cybersecurity testing\, or red / blue teaming.Note:  This event is hosted by DC256 and is not a NAC-ISSA sponsored event. \n\n\n\nFor event details and to register: \n\n\n\nhttps://www.linkedin.com/events/dc256meetup-deliveringrf-trigge7335487754035769344/about

SUMMARY:NAC-ISSA May lunch: Investigating Foreign Tech from Online Retailers
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a chapter sponsored lunch with Michael Portera presenting Investigating Foreign Tech from Online Retailers \n\n\n\nWe live in a time where we can buy practically anything online. It’s very tempting to buy cheap products online\, including electronics. While saving money can be great\, what are we really getting here? Where did it really come from\, is it safe to use\, and what is really going on behind the scenes? Let’s find out! \n\n\n\nIn this talk\, we’ll track the supply chain of a foreign smartwatch on Amazon using various OSINT techniques. After going down the rabbit hole\, we’ll perform a hardware/software breakdown with automated and manual analyses (and further OSINT based on our findings). By the end of the talk\, you will have a better understanding of some of the tools and processes you can use for performing your own due diligence. \n\n\n\nLunch will be a Ted’s BBQ Potato Bar and our door prize this month is an ASUS Chromebook.

SUMMARY:SpyCloud sponsors NAC-ISSA January lunch
DESCRIPTION:Join NAC-ISSA and SpyCloud for our January 2025 chapter lunch on January 28\, 2025 from 11:30 to 12:30. We’ll be hosted by the Auburn University Research and Innovation Center.   Phillip Ogle will be our presenter with tales from the Dark Web trenches. \n\n\n\nSpyCloud uses human intelligence “officers” who set up fake identities and use those identities to infiltrate criminal groups. In these groups criminal will share data to get help understanding the value of the data\, get help to develop a plan of attack with that data\, and then get help to figure out a way to best monetize on the attack. \n\n\n\n In these offline groups SpyCloud can see high value records such as: \n\n\n\n\nUser Credentials\,\n\n\n\nSession Cookies\,\n\n\n\nAPI Tokens\,\n\n\n\nCredit Cards\,\n\n\n\nBanking numbers\,\n\n\n\nSocial Security Numbers (US) and National IDs\n\n\n\nDate of Birth\n\n\n\n\nSpyCloud can also see low value records such as: \n\n\n\n\nDriver’s License Number\n\n\n\nPhysical Address\n\n\n\nPhone numbers\n\n\n\nVehicle Identification Numbers\n\n\n\n\nWhether you have heard of SpyCloud or not\, you have likely unknowingly seen some of their data presented in commercials by companies we partner with to help their solutions be more complete. \n\n\n\nIn the presentation we will go back in time to a real-world cyber-attack that made an ISP unable to service its customers for most of the day.  You will see the real patient zero and see how the criminals were able to impersonate the patient to gain access. \n\n\n\nThe weakest variable that we struggle to control is still the human. That is still the case\, and we will end on automated remediation.  If one of my users gets an unmanaged\, or undermanaged device compromised because of their action\, or perhaps another member of their household\, we will end on automated remediation so you\, the protector\, can keep your organization secure. We will also see that humans still try to use their brain verses a good password manager\, and how an automated approach can better assist with this problem as well.
