SUMMARY:Securing the Connected Transit Ecosystem: Why Next-Generation Systems Demand Next-Generation Testing
DESCRIPTION:The NAC-ISSA February 2026 lunch will be chapter sponsored.  We are proud to present our chapter member and former chapter president\, Jason Cuneo.  Jason has worked with large municipalities in the US to secure their mass transit systems.  Join us for a look into a different segment of cybersecurity than you may typically think about. \n\n\n\nMass transit systems are rapidly adopting interconnected vehicle\, infrastructure\, and control technologies to improve safety\, efficiency\, and situational awareness. While these advances enable powerful new operational capabilities\, they also introduce attack surfaces that traditional security testing approaches were never designed to evaluate. This presentation reviews prior research and recent security test events conducted on mass transit platforms\, highlighting how enterprise-centric vulnerability assessment methodologies fall short in highly dynamic\, V2X-enabled environments.  \n\n\n\nAdditionally\, we will discuss new testing methods including realistic traffic generation scenarios\, protocol-aware threat emulation\, and understand how attackers conduct modern vehicular platform attacks. This talk will conclude with recommendations for developing a more robust\, reconfigurable testing environment that can keep pace with next-generation transit technologies. \n\n\n\nWalton’s Southern Table will provide the catering.  Door prize to be announced.

SUMMARY:Tech Thursday: Making Your Own Wireshark Dissector for Mysterious and Unknown Protocols
DESCRIPTION:Presenter: Doogie \n\n\n\nNAC-ISSA and DC256 present our second Tech Thursday of 2026 at Gigaparts on Feb 19 at 6:00PM.   This hands-on workshop moves beyond filtering and display into the craft of understanding undocumented protocols and using that knowledge to create a reusable Wireshark dissector. \n\n\n\nAttendees will walk away with their own network protocol dissector that can be used in any Wireshark instance. \n\n\n\nAttendees should already understand networking basics\, such as the OSI model\, IP addresses\, MAC addresses\, the differences between TCP and UDP\, and the concept of port numbers. Familiarity with Wireshark is recommended. \n\n\n\nThe event is open to anyone interested in cyber security\, is free and pizza will be provided.

SUMMARY:DC256 Presents: Artificial Doubt: The Collapse of Trust in Digital Materiel
DESCRIPTION:Join DC256 at GigaParts on February 20th @ 6:00PM! Rodney V. will be giving a presentation — Digital Trust: The Collapse of Trust in Digital Materiel. We will also be making a special announcement at the event\, so stay tuned! \n\n\n\nFor decades\, digital evidence has quietly relied on a fragile assumption that authenticity could be inferred after the fact. Hashes\, metadata\, chain-of-custody forms\, and expert testimony were “good enough” when fabricating convincing images\, video\, or audio was expensive and rare. Generative AI shattered that assumption and we need better means of security against threats that exploit this ambiguity. \n\n\n\nThis month’s presentation is sponsored by the North Alabama Chapter – Information Systems Security Association (NAC-ISSA).  The event is free to attend\, registration not required.
