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.

SUMMARY:CMMC Coffee & Compliance Series Presented by CyberProtex
DESCRIPTION:Join us for coffee and discussions on practical automation strategies to simplify CMMC readiness. You’re not alone. Thousands of SMBs in the DIB face the same challenge. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nMeeting CMMC requirements doesn’t have to mean overbuilding your security program or blowing your budget. CMMC Without the Chaos is a practical\, executive-friendly session designed specifically for small and mid-sized contractors looking to use automation to simplify compliance.In this Coffee & Compliance event\, we’ll break down what automation realistically means for CMMC\, where it delivers the most value\, and where manual processes are still required. Attendees will learn how to reduce time spent on documentation and evidence collection\, avoid common overengineering mistakes\, and better leverage Microsoft tools they may already own. \n\n\n\nThis session focuses on doing enough—without doing too much—so organizations can stay contract-eligible while remaining efficient and audit-ready. \n\n\n\nYou’ll walk away with: \n\n\n\n\nA realistic understanding of automation’s role in CMMC compliance\n\n\n\nPractical ways to automate evidence collection and compliance tasks\n\n\n\nGuidance on leveraging Microsoft 365 and Azure security capabilities\n\n\n\nInsight into common automation pitfalls seen by assessors\n\n\n\nA clear roadmap for simplifying CMMC readiness without chaos\n\n\n\n\nWho Should Attend:Small and mid-sized defense contractors\, subcontractors\, IT leaders\, security managers\, compliance owners\, and business leaders responsible for CMMC readiness. \n\n\n\nNOTE:  This is not a NAC-ISSA event.  Registration is through CyberProtex.

SUMMARY:Automating Exploitation with Agentic Systems presented by Jason Kearns.  NAC-ISSA's March chapter lunch
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: This session explores the emerging role of agentic AI in modern offensive cybersecurity operations. Through a guided presentation and discussion\, we will examine how AI-driven agents can be used to automate elements of reconnaissance\, web enumeration\, and vulnerability discovery within red team workflows. \n\n\n\n\nAgentic AI for reconnaissance and vulnerability discovery: How autonomous agents can assist in identifying attack surface\, enumerating web assets\, and surfacing potential vulnerabilities.\n\n\n\nCollaborative agent architectures: Designing systems where multiple specialized agents coordinate tasks to augment traditional security testing approaches.\n\n\n\nOperational implications for red teams and defenders: How AI-enabled automation is changing the pace\, scale\, and accessibility of offensive security capabilities.\n\n\n\n\nAttendees will leave with a practical understanding of how agentic AI systems can be structured\, the opportunities and risks they introduce\, and how these technologies may reshape both offensive and defensive cyber operations.

SUMMARY:Tech Thursday presents Shell Sorcery: The Magic of the Linux Command Line
DESCRIPTION:NAC-ISSA and DC256 continue the Tech Thursday series with Shell Sorcery: The Magic of the Linux Command Line. \n\n\n\nLinux isn’t as scary as it seems! This crash course uses gamification to introduce you to the command line. Instead of rote memorization\, you will solve logic puzzles to master the three pillars of daily Linux work: secure access\, file navigation\, and data extraction.  \n\n\n\nThere is no pre-requisite knowledge for attendees\, but an open and curious mind is encouraged! \n\n\n\nParticipants will need to have an SSH client installed before class begins. We recommend PuTTY: https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/

SUMMARY:WallArm sponsors May 2026 NAC-ISSA lunch
DESCRIPTION:TOPIC: Business Logic Abuse: Technology Agnostic Mapping of Attack Types \n\n\n\nOWASP’s technology specific top 10 lists have provided a ton of value\, but it’s time for a different approach to business logic abuse. The rise of APIs and complex business logic attacks requires a new taxonomy that isn’t tied to a specific technology.
