ISSA Sacramento Valley Chapter Meeting – 03/15/2024 11:30a-1:00p

Speaker: Mark Heckman, Past President of ISSA Sacramento and Professor of Cybersecurity, University of San Diego
Topic: Systems Engineering Applied to Cybersecurity & (The Long-Awaited) “Test Your Security Knowledge” Game
Attend this Webcast

Synopsis:
Building a secure system requires an “interdisciplinary approach governing the total technical and managerial effort required to transform a set of customer needs, expectations, and constraints into a solution and to support that solution throughout its life.” (ISO/IEC/IEEE 24765:2010) Recognizing this, NIST SP 800-160, “Engineering Trustworthy Secure Systems”, takes a systems engineering approach to engineering secure systems. In this talk, we’ll discuss why systems engineering is important for building trustworthy secure systems. (Presentation slides here.)

We’ll also play the “Test Your Security Knowledge” Game that we were unable to play at our December luncheon. There are prizes donated by chapter sponsor Checkpoint. Everyone can play, whether they are connecting to the meeting remotely or are there in-person.
