SUMMARY:WiCyS Austin Affiliate | Creating a Security Program from Scratch
DESCRIPTION:Join WiCyS Austin Affiliate and presenter Stephen Dufour for Creating a Security Program from Scratch. Not many people talk about creating a security program from scratch. Most businesses rely on third-party auditors to help create one that conforms to an acceptable certification or attestation ‘framework.’ Here we will discuss the elements of a brand-new security program. \nLearn more and register HERE

SUMMARY:Webinar | MAESTRO: Threat Modelling for Agentic AI
DESCRIPTION:The rise of Agentic AI — autonomous systems capable of perceiving their environment\, making decisions\, and taking actions to achieve goals — introduces a fundamentally new threat landscape that traditional security frameworks were never designed to address. When multiple AI agents interact\, learn\, and operate with increasing autonomy\, risks like goal manipulation\, agent impersonation\, data poisoning\, adversarial evasion\, and cross-agent collusion emerge — none of which are adequately captured by frameworks such as STRIDE\, PASTA\, or OCTAVE. \nThis session introduces MAESTRO (Multi-Agent Environment\, Security\, Threat\, Risk\, and Outcome)\, a threat modeling framework published by the Cloud Security Alliance\, designed specifically for the unique challenges of Agentic AI. MAESTRO provides a structured\, layered approach built around a seven-layer reference architecture: \n\nFoundation Models — adversarial examples\, model stealing\, backdoor attacks\nData Operations — data poisoning\, RAG pipeline compromise\, data exfiltration\nAgent Frameworks — supply chain attacks\, input validation exploits\, framework evasion\nDeployment & Infrastructure — container compromise\, orchestration attacks\, lateral movement\nEvaluation & Observability — metric manipulation\, detection evasion\, observability data poisoning\nSecurity & Compliance — security agent compromise\, regulatory non-compliance\, bias in AI security tools\nAgent Ecosystem — agent impersonation\, goal manipulation\, marketplace manipulation\, tool misuse\n\nBeyond layer-specific threats\, the session explores cross-layer attack chains — how an attacker might exploit a vulnerability in deployment infrastructure to poison training data\, ultimately compromising the foundation model — and the agentic architecture patterns (single-agent\, multi-agent\, hierarchical\, human-in-the-loop) that shape the threat surface. \nWiCyS is proud to provide members the opportunity to earn CPE/CEU credits for attending WiCyS Webinars live.

SUMMARY:WiCyS San Diego Affiliate | Book Club
DESCRIPTION:The Book that will be featured is: Empire of AI: Dreams and Nightmares in Sam Altman’s OpenAI \nKaren Hao started out trusting OpenAI’s mission\, but her reporting led her to a darker conclusion. Building powerful AI demands staggering resources\, from rare computing power and energy to exploited data laborers in the Global South\, leaving only a few giant companies able to compete at all. With Microsoft’s backing\, OpenAI has pushed forward at full speed without a clear destination\, even as Hao got close enough to the story to chronicle Altman’s ouster and return in full detail. \nHer book argues that the pressure of this race warps the judgment of everyone caught in it\, since people rarely see themselves as the villain. Drawing on voices from Silicon Valley to Kenyan data workers to Chilean water activists\, Empire of AI lays out both the scale of the industry’s ambition and the human cost behind it. \nLearn more and register HERE

SUMMARY:Webinar | Breaking into Cybersecurity without a degree: A Non-Traditional Path in Cybersecurity
DESCRIPTION:What does it take to land a role at one of the world’s largest tech companies without a college degree? In this session\, I share my unconventional journey from self-taught technologist to cybersecurity professional at AWS — all without formal schooling. Now enrolled in college while working full-time at a FAANG company\, this is a candid look at the realities of building a career in tech through grit\, self-directed learning\, and the power of community\, networking\, and self-education. \nThis talk will touch on how emerging tools — especially AI — are fundamentally changing what it means to learn and grow in cybersecurity whether you have a foundation in formal education or not\, using AI as a personal study partner and research accelerator to leveraging it for hands-on skill-building in areas like cloud security and generative AI at Amazon. \nWiCyS is proud to provide members the opportunity to earn CPE/CEU credits for attending WiCyS Webinars live. To earn CPE/CEU credits with the following providers\, you must meet the minimum requirements: \n\nGIAC/(ISC)2: attend for a minimum of 45 minutes or the entirety of the webinar\nCompTIA: attend for a minimum of 60 minutes or the entirety of the webinar (webinar topic must relate to the certificate being renewed)\n\nAttendees who meet the requirements can log into BrightTALK to print out their attendance certificates to submit for CPE/CEU credits. \nRegister for this webinar and view the recording if you are unable to join live.

SUMMARY:Webinar | Applying D3FENDTM for OT to Strengthen Your Architecture
DESCRIPTION:Like how MITRE ATT&CK has collated attacker tactics and techniques\, D3FEND was built to model computers\, devices\, computer networks\, and their associated information flows and subsequent countermeasures vital for defense. D3FEND for OT builds upon the understanding that operational environments have their own unique cybersecurity properties and methods. \nThis session will introduce attendees to the D3FEND ontological approach and tools associated with modeling computers\, devices\, networks\, and any associated flows. It will highlight how defenders can model their security scenarios and how it may differ between the environments they are tasked with protecting. \nWiCyS is proud to provide members the opportunity to earn CPE/CEU credits for attending WiCyS Webinars live.

SUMMARY:WiCyS Sacramento Affiliate | Cyber Incident: Handling Stressful Situations Lunch & Learn
DESCRIPTION:Grab your lunch and join the WiCyS Sacramento affiliate for a one-hour virtual Lunch & Learn on the human side of incident response.

SUMMARY:WiCyS San Diego Affiliate | AI Under Scrutiny: Perspectives from Banking\, Higher Ed\, and Engineering
DESCRIPTION:Everyone is talking about AI. Join WiCyS San Diego for an honest discussion about what it looks like to use it and evaluate it from a security or compliance perspective. Environments where decisions have to hold up to audit\, data sensitivity\, and teams or customers that may not trust the tools yet. \nThree cybersecurity professionals from three different environments – banking/finance\, higher education\, and engineering – sit down for a moderated conversation about how AI shows up in their actual work. Every day. \nWhy this panel is different:\nModerator Melissa Huff will guide panelists Theresa Pon\, Jo Anna Parker Martin\, and Venus Liong through real workflows\, what works and what doesn’t\, and the unique challenges of their environments. We intend to explore AI bias and workplace constraints. The good and the bad. The final segment opens the floor to audience questions and comments. \nWho should attend:\nCybersecurity\, compliance\, privacy\, and risk professionals who want a grounded look at AI adoption from the people evaluating it inside real constraints\, not a product demo. \nWiCyS SD events are open to members and the broader San Diego cybersecurity community. Bring a question. You may end up with a workflow to try Monday morning! \nLearn more and register HERE Attendees will receive the location once they have registered.
