SUMMARY:ISSA Sacramento Valley Chapter Meeting - 11/21/2025 - What is "AI Security"?
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Steven Templeton\, Ph.D. \nTopic: What is “AI Security” and How Can You Demonstrate That You Know It? \nSynopsis:  A recent casual scan of cyber security job listings showed that about 40% of them ask for experience in “AI Security”. That percentage is sure to increase. If you want to find a new job (or keep your current one)\, you need to know about “AI Security”. But what exactly is it? How can you demonstrate to an employer that you know how to do it (and how can you explain it to management\, who put buzz words like that into their job listings but don’t really know what it is themselves)? \nSpeaker Bio: Steven Templeton is a cybersecurity consultant\, educator\, and former wildlife biologist who brings over 25 years of experience blending technology\, security\, and creativity. He holds a Ph.D. in Computer Security from UC Davis\, has worked extensively in industrial control system (ICS) security and compliance\, and currently teaches in the cybersecurity engineering graduate program at the University of San Diego. Steven has a knack for making complex ideas approachable — from machine learning to Splunk to AI-based roleplaying tools for cryptography students. \nMeeting Details: This will be a hybrid meeting (both in-person and on-line). You may attend remotely via Zoom (see below) or attend in person at Capsity\, 3808 Broadway\, Sacramento CA. Lunch will be provided to in-person attendees. \nPlease register for the meeting below.  \nYou don’t have to be a member of ISSA to attend our meetings (but we encourage you to join us!).

SUMMARY:ISSA Sacramento Valley Chapter Meeting - 2/20/2026 - Future State Cybersecurity Program
DESCRIPTION:THIS IS AN ON-LINE ONLY MEETING. (We could not secure a meeting location.) \nSpeaker: Paul Grabow\, Principal Advisor\, Cybersecurity Grant Advisors LLC \nTopic:  Towards a Future State Cybersecurity Program (Public Sector Edition) \nSynopsis: Many public sector programs are still fighting today’s attacks with yesterday’s operating models. Paul Grabow will outline a near‑term\, achievable future‑state model for public sector cybersecurity that fully leverages NLP\, ML\, generative AI\, and semi‑autonomous agents\, backed by strong governance and leadership. He’ll connect emerging AI‑driven tools with frameworks like NIST NICE\, CSF\, and ISO 27001\, and highlight the leadership\, structural\, and vendor‑risk changes needed to make it real. \nPublic sector CISOs\, program managers\, and consultants will leave with a notional Future State Program and potential approaches to start modernizing their programs before the next budget and threat cycle hits. They will also be invited to work collaboratively to refine the Future State Program concept. \nSpeaker Bio: Paul is a principal cybersecurity professional with a decades long career evaluating\, defining\, advocating\, and driving policies\, programs\, processes\, strategies\, and technologies to advance cybersecurity\, strengthen the resiliency of computing ecosystems\, increase awareness of threats\, and manage risk factors across environments. \nHis background includes information security leadership positions for the US Senate\, Office of the Sergeant At Arms and staff positions with the Board of Governors\, Federal Reserve System. Additionally\, along with work at the Judicial Council of California and contract for a State of California startup agency\, he may be the first (and at this point in time only) person in this field who has worked in all three branches of government! He also helped brainstorm the concept of a Federal Scholarship for Service program while serving in the White House PCAST working group. \nHe is currently working on how to incorporate AI technologies into the infosec/cybersecurity profession at the strategic/tactical/operational levels. He asks you to “Please contact me for further information and how we may collaborate in this technology!” \nMeeting Details: This is an on-line meeting only. See the Zoom link below. \nThis will be a hybrid meeting (both in-person and on-line). You may attend remotely via Zoom (see below) or attend in person at Capsity\, 3808 Broadway\, Sacramento CA. Lunch will be provided to in-person attendees. \nPlease register for the meeting below.  \nYou don’t have to be a member of ISSA to attend our meetings (but we encourage you to join us!).

SUMMARY:ISSA Sacramento Valley Chapter Meeting - 3/20/2026 - Using AI for Security Tasks
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Steven Templeton\, Ph.D. \nTopic: “Using AI for Security Tasks” \nSynopsis: This month’s talk is one you’ll want to bring your laptop to. \nAI is changing what’s possible in security — for defenders and attackers alike. This session focuses on the practical side: what you can start using today\, and what you should expect to be used against you. \nOn the defensive side\, we’ll look at how AI can compress the parts of your workflow that eat the most time — log triage\, threat intel\, alert analysis\, detection rule writing — and demonstrate some of these live. On the offensive side\, we’ll get honest about how attackers are already using the same tools to scale phishing\, accelerate reconnaissance\, and generate evasive malware. \nThe session includes live demos and a hands-on exercises\, so expect to participate\, not just watch. It will work best if you have an account on one of the LLMs (ChatGPT\, Claude\, Grok\, Gemini\, …) \nAlso download these demo files: https://www.securereasoning.com/ISSA/260320/demo-files.zip \nSpeaker Bio: Steven Templeton is a cybersecurity consultant\, educator\, and former wildlife biologist who brings over 25 years of experience blending technology\, security\, and creativity.

SUMMARY:ISSA Sacramento Valley Chapter Meeting - 5/15/2026 - Using AI for Security Tasks\, Part 2
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Steven Templeton\, Ph.D. \nTopic: “Using AI for Security Tasks\, Part 2” \nSynopsis: Steven Templeton returns to show us even more ways to use AI to accomplish security tasks. If you missed his first talk in March\, don’t worry. He will briefly review what he covered last time to bring you up to speed. Then he will demonstrate more uses of AI\, such as generating (and detecting) phishing attacks and code review. \nHere’s the description from last time: \nAI is changing what’s possible in security — for defenders and attackers alike.
