IMA Webinar Broadcast: Cyber Threats and Defense in a Maritime & Intermodal World National Symposium (Virtual) - Day 2
2021-03-18 09:00 - 14:00 (America/Los_Angeles)
***FREE Virtual Event***
InfraGard Los Angeles and InfraGard San Diego, along with the National Sector Security & Resiliency Program (NSSRP) Transportation Sector have collaborated with private industry and government to pull together a two-day national symposium addressing the following issues.
Cybersecurity in the supply chain is no longer just an IT problem. Maritime, intermodal, rail and port security must work as an integrated whole. Those who want to do us harm range from nation states and terrorists to criminal elements and activists. The unfortunate reality is the gains in productivity from technology have left us more exposed than ever. Those who want to do us harm have integrated cyber, kinetic, physical, and reputational threats into orchestrated attacks. Our defenses must be as deliberate as well.
Each day is independent, but mutually supportive. Register below.

IMA Webinar Broadcast: Sanitization and Disposal of Media and Excess Information Technology Equipment
2021-03-16 11:30 - 13:00 (America/Chicago)
We will provide instructions to organizations on how to effectively sanitize hard drives and other electronic media. The NIST SP 800-88 Guidelines for Media Sanitization were originally meant for government use, but are now commonly implemented by many private companies and organizations. By following the guidelines, organizations can feel confident they have taken the necessary steps to minimize the chances of their data being recovered by third parties. Media sanitization is the process of removing data stored on an electronic media device in a way that ensures it cannot be easily retrieved by third parties. After correctly sanitizing a device, the data that has been removed should be unrecoverable even with the assistance of advanced forensic tools. In addition to removing the files and folders from your electronic media device, the sanitization process will securely remove all Data Remanence.
Objectives:
Upon completion of this webinar, the attendee/student will be able to understand how to execute the three phases of of Media and IT Sanitization: Phase 1) Accountability and Logistics; Phase 2) De-manufacture and Risk Reduction; and Phase 3) Destruction and Disposal

IMA Webinar Broadcast: Safeguarding the Bioeconomy
2021-03-10 17:00 - 18:30 (America/New_York)
Biological threats have historically focused on addressing emerging infectious diseases or the possibility of engineering a virus that could start the zombie apocalypse. Today, as biology continues to converge with the cyber realm, new security challenges will arise.

Supervisory Special Agent Edward You will highlight the need to radically redefine what we consider a biological threat.

Objectives:
Participants will learn that we must move past the traditional definition of biological threats and focus on the potential for biological data to become an economic driver, and therefore a national security concern.

Presenters:
Edward You, FBI SSA
Edward You is a Supervisory Special Agent in the FBI’s Weapons of Mass Destruction Directorate, currently detailed as a Liaison Officer at the Department of Health and Human Services, Office of National Security.

Who can attend:

IMA Webinar Broadcast: Detecting Agro-Terrorism with Agricultural & Environmental Analytics
2021-02-18 14:00 - 15:00 (America/New_York)
Many naturally occurring factors may contribute significantly to crop shortfalls such as epidemics of disease and pests and weather. In this talk, we discuss how modeling of historical epidemiological, weather, and soil data may be used to discern between regular seasonal variability and potential external shocks such as deliberate agro-terrorism. Early detection of these events requires the synthesis of all of these heterogeneous data streams to eliminate alternative explanations. We propose a Bayesian learning framework for learning the relationships between these factors, which we trained on a decade’s worth of historical observations. We demonstrate how this modeling methodology may then be used to identify earlier spatiotemporal anomalies in surveillance which are indicative of coordinated and preternatural dissemination of disease.
Objectives:
-Identification of novel data elements for monitoring food security
-Statistical & machine learning techniques to synthesize these disparate data streams for forecasting/prediction
-Discussion of metrics for detection for potential adverse events in food security
Presenter:
Andrew Hong, MITRE Corporation, Operations Research Analyst
Dr. Andrew E. Hong is an operations research analyst in the Modeling and Simulation department at the MITRE Corporation. He has supported several federal agencies such as DHS, IRS, and CMS in data-driven modeling for detecting fraud and waste.

IMA Webinar Broadcast: Procurement Fraud and Collusion- From Red Flags to Prosecution

This course is designed for any company, private or public, that purchases from outside vendors and is concerned about fraud in the purchasing process. The Federal Bureau of Investigation, along with the Office of Inspector General for many other government agencies, investigates procurement fraud and corruption in partnership with the Department of Justice – Antitrust Division. Nearly $20 billion is spent annually in Southern California, and over $550 billion federally, on government contracts for goods and services alone. Additionally, there will be a discussion about how procurement fraud is tied directly to corruption of government officials, both domestic and foreign, at the local, state, and federal levels. This is an important topic as procurement fraud and collusion create an imbalanced and unfair marketplace that directly impacts corporations and the end consumer in price, availability, and overall quality of a product.

2021-01-28 12:00 - 13:30 (America/Chicago)
The threat landscape has completely changed. In the last twelve months we have seen supply chain attacks, an increase in ransomware (with an explosion of cryptocurrency value), and a dedication from attackers against industrial control and IoT systems. Attackers are financially and politically motivated. Additionally, globally, we are engaging in the largest remote workforce experiment in history.
We are working, communicating, and interacting in ways that are different than ever before – taking advantage of remote applications and connectivity technologies that are new to many companies or are being used on a larger scale than ever expected. Attackers know this. They are targeting VPNs, remote desktop systems, home-based IoT systems, remote conferencing applications, and gaming applications with ever more advanced phishing attacks. All of these, as well as corporate assets, are expected to continue to be prime attack targets in 2021.
