SUMMARY:IMA Webinar Broadcast: Global Threat Update - A World of Wars
DESCRIPTION:This is another in our FREE series of Global Threat Updates. \nWith a major war in Israel that threatens to engulf much of the Middle East\, where the global implications are not just for Israel but very much for the United States\, plus the ongoing War in Ukraine that has not subsided in the least\, the world is a dangerous place. Less noticed is the prospect of another war in Kosovo\, that would immediately bring in NATO and the United States\, along with provocations in the air and at sea by an increasingly unstable and economically challenged China. \nThe enemies of the Western dominated system of finance\, trade and “international law” are now opening calling themselves an “Axis”\, reminiscent of a world eight decades back. In short\, the world is becoming a far more dangerous place than most of us even realize. Beyond the military and “battlespace dynamics” are fundamental economics and supply chain considerations underlying the stunning military engagements\, and growing threats to our global lines of communications. Further\, virtually unprecedented levels of anti-Semitic acts coinciding with the War in Israel have also dramatically increased the threat of terrorism or violent extremism here at home. Threats to critical infrastructure here in the United States\, both physical and virtual\, have moved into a new sphere of concern\, and that ties to re-thinking mitigation and preparedness strategies. \nNational and Homeland Security expert Hal Kempfer\, a retired Military/Marine Intelligence Officer and longtime strategic risk consultant whose expertise is regularly relied upon by multiple television news networks such as Fox\, NewsNation\, CBS\, etc. (and co-host of the STRAT podcast series) is our presenter. Without doubt\, this Global Threat Update may be the most important global security and critical infrastructure protection discussion you’ve heard for quite some time. \nPresenter:\nNational and Homeland Security expert Hal Kempfer\, a retired Military/Marine Intelligence Officer and longtime strategic risk consultant whose expertise is regularly relied upon by multiple television news networks such as Fox\, NewsNation\, CBS\, etc. (and co-host of the STRAT podcast series) is our presenter. \nWho Can Attend:\nOpen only to InfraGard members and their guests. \nRegistration:\nhttps://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/2899400502870515547

SUMMARY:IMA Webinar Broadcast: What Do the SEC’s New Regulations and Its Pursuit of SolarWinds Mean for Internal Security Pros
DESCRIPTION:SEC Adopts Cybersecurity Regulations – On July 26\, 2023\, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) adopted rules requiring disclosure of material cybersecurity incidents as well as periodic disclosure of cybersecurity risk management\, strategy\, and governance in annual reports for public companies that are subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. \nObjectives:\n• Public companies will be required to disclose “any cybersecurity incident they determine to be material” under new Item 1.05 of Form 8-K.\n• Public companies will need to describe their processes for assessing\, identifying\, and managing material risks from cybersecurity threats and disclose whether any previous cybersecurity incidents have materially affected (or are likely to materially affect) the company under new Item 106 of Regulation S-K.\n• These new regulations also impact how corporate boards are informed of cyber risks and incidents\, and how they integrate cyber risk and incident response into an overall risk management framework for the corporation.\n• Your may be the one talking to the Board (or at the very least\, talking to the person who will be talking to the Board)\n• All of this is colored by the indictment of SolarWinds’ CISO being indicted for fraud and internal control failures related to that company’s cybersecurity practices that preceded the 2020 cyberattack on SolarWinds. \nPresenter: \nColin Zick\, Partner\, Foley Hoag LLP\nColin J. Zick is a partner with the law firm\, Foley Hoag LLP\, where he serves as Co-Chair of its Privacy and Data Security practice group.

SUMMARY:IMA Webinar Broadcast: Global Threat Update: Israel\, Ukraine and a World of Wars
DESCRIPTION:This is another in our FREE series of Global Threat Updates. \nWith wars raging in Ukraine (Europe) and Israel/Gaza (the Middle East)\, and with ongoing attacks in the Red Sea threatening one of the world’s busiest waterways and critical maritime chokepoints\, the world has become a very uncertain and dangerous place. Terrorism has also begun to surge\, and in some unexpected ways and places. On top of that\, wars in East Africa have left tens of thousands of people dead\, millions displaced and more than that suffering\, to include the growing threat from war induced famines. Meanwhile\, in our own Western Hemisphere\, paramilitary gangs have taken on the government of Ecuador\, and Venezuela has threatened to invade Guyana and initiate military action against the British Navy in a possible conflict that sounds like a Hollywood screenplay. To the east\, China continues to threaten Taiwan and confront the Philippines at sea\, and this in an area where most international trade flows. Global supply chains have become more and more unsure\, and all of this as our attention is diverted to another contentious U.S. Presidential election season. At times\, it can seem like too much to fully assess\, but Hal Kempfer will try to unpack this “world of wars” and confluence of conflicts to make sense of what is happening and what it means to our markets\, economy\, society and how we continue to do business in the age of globalization. \nPresenters:\nJohn Wood\, Intelligence Analyst\, FBI\nHal Kempfer\, GRIP \nWho Can Attend:\nOpen to anyone. \nRegistration:\nhttps://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/2691551025209102171

SUMMARY:IMA Webinar Broadcast: Synthetic Drug Trafficking and Trans-National Organized Crime
DESCRIPTION:Synthetic Drug Trafficking and Trans-National Organized Crime is a course during which we will explore several of the issues behind the explosion in synthetic drug production and trafficking\, and the corresponding record harm it has inflicted upon our communities. We will study why the two main producers of fentanyl and methamphetamine\, the Sinaloa Cartel and Jalisco New Generation Cartel\, made the transition to synthetic drug production and we will deepen our understanding of the\neconomics and logistics of synthetic drug production and trafficking versus that of traditional plant based drugs. We will discuss the three major factors driving fentanyl caused deaths and gain a better understanding of who fentanyl is harming and why there has been a dramatic shift in the demographics of drug caused death victims in recent years. We will contrast the differences in those harmed by methamphetamine and those harmed by fentanyl. \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES:\n– Understand the four major factors that caused the shift from more traditional\, organic drug trafficking to synthetic drug trafficking.\n– Know who produces synthetic drugs\, where the precursor chemicals are sourced\, where\nsynthetics are produced and how they are smuggled into the United States.\n– Know where fentanyl is present within the illicit drug supply chain.\n– Be able to explain how availability\, accessibility and deception are the driving forces behind the increase in drug caused deaths.\n– Be able to identify the three fentanyl risk groups and what the specific risk to each group is.\n– Understand what age group is most susceptible to a fentanyl caused death vs a\nmethamphetamine caused death. \nWHY TAKE THIS COURSE?\nWhether it is a teenage child lost to a drug caused death or an adult battling with methamphetamine addiction\, the damage caused by synthetic drugs is present everywhere we look. Almost everyone\nknows someone who has been impacted by fentanyl or methamphetamine. Empower yourself to be part of the solution by better understanding the drug\, the trafficker\, who is harmed\, and why. \nPresenter:\nPSC Brian Keith\, DHS\nSME\, CTWatch \nWho Can Attend:\nOpen only to InfraGard members and their guests \nRegistration:\nPlease see weekly events email.

SUMMARY:IMA Webinar Broadcast: FBI Quarterly: Cryptocurrency Confidence Scams – Are you a victim?
DESCRIPTION:Many cryptocurrency confidence scams start “by accident” when scammers send realistic text messages. The message seems intended for somebody else but after you tell the sender they have the wrong number\, the person continues the conversation. \nThis contact is no mistake\, and they didn’t accidentally text you. You’re being targeted by an international criminal enterprise. The message is bait\, and the scammer is trying to lure you into a conversation to eventually convince you to invest in a digital trading platform by representing that the investments are with trusted firms and cryptocurrency exchanges. They promise returns beyond any stock portfolio and may even show screenshots or offer a free “demo.” In reality\, the purported firms and exchanges are non-existent trading platforms. You’ll see an incredible balance gr sow in your account. You now wish to withdraw your earnings\, with plans to share your new wealth with family and friends and pursue a life of financial independence… only to realize every penny is gone. It was stolen the moment you transferred it. Billions of dollars are lost every year through these sophisticated scams. \nFBI Special Agents working these crimes first-hand\, will be presenting. This specialized training is designed to familiarize you with the red flags of digital investment scams\, how the scheme works\, why these scams are so rampant\, and hear victims’ stories. Before you invest in any new cryptocurrency platforms or take trading advice from an online friend or love interest\, get familiar with the red flags of cryptocurrency confidence scams\, so that you\, your family\, and friends know how to avoid joining the tens of thousands of victims nationwide. \nSpeakers:\n• FBI Special Agent Daniel Clift – complex financial crimes program\n• FBI Supervisory Special Agent Brett Chabot – complex financial crimes program \nWho Can Attend:\nOpen only to InfraGard members and their guests. \nRegistration:\nPlease see weekly email.
