Session: Sun Tzu and the Art of CyberSecurity and War
Instructor: Tom Canavan
Training Track: CMS Foundations
Audience: Administrators
It's time to get another healthy dose of extreme cybersecurity reality from Security Expert and author Tom Canavan. During the presentation, " Sun Tzu and the Art of Cyber Security and War," Tom will discuss the thirteen points of Cyber Security Vis-A-Vis the ancient book, "The Art of War."
In today's world, cyber attacks are becoming increasingly well-funded and well organized. While many of us stay oblivious, taking a "I'm not a target" attitude, you ARE a target. "Get over it and deal with it!" Websites and businesses of all shapes and sizes are under assault on a daily basis.
While it's easy to blame the budgets, lack of training or resources, today it is imperative to skip blame and fix the problems, adapt to the changes, and prepare for battle.
Tom Canavan is a must-see presenter. Author of two CMS books, "Joomla! Web Security" and "Dodging the Bullets: A Disaster Preparation Guide," Former CIO of a major international membership organization, and past Senior Systems Consultant with Dell Computer, crowd favorite Tom Canavan joins CMS Expo this spring with a briefcase full of site security measures to keep you ahead in the online cyber-arms race.
He'll open up a can of whoop-*ss , providing tell-it-like-it-is, and how it should be for you and "you can't patch stupid" security mistakes; but as past attendees will attest from other presentations, Tom's hard lessons and solutions-oriented presentation is one that will send you back to your hotel room with real-life, relevant, practical answers in-hand.
