Workshop Presenter(s): Peter Southwick, Senior Solutions Architect, Integration Partners; Shawn Jacobsen, Solutions Architect, Integration Partners Workshop Description: An introduction to Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) and hands on BGP exercises using Cisco and Juniper.

Workshop Presenter(s): Greg Girgenti, Cybersecurity Sales Specialist, Cisco; Ed McNicholas, Security Engineer, Cisco Workshop Description: In today’s complex security environment, security professionals need to evolve their strategy from a point-in-time approach to pervasive and continuous protection across the full attack continuum. Network professionals need to understand how their network infrastructure can be used as a sensor and enforcer to help improve network security and prevent data breaches. In this workshop, you will experience common cyber security attack situations in a virtualized lab where you will get to play both the role of attacker and defender. Utilizing a structure that models many enterprise networks, you will learn how systems get compromised, how breaches can be discovered quickly, and how to respond most effectively with an architectural approach to security.

Workshop Presenter(s): Joann Hovis, CEO, CTC Technology & Energy; Heather Mills, Director of Operations, CTC Technology & Energy Workshop Description: Taking time to think through important processes and strategies related to the technology needed by each library is essential. All libraries are as unique as the patrons and communities they serve. How those libraries plan for E-rate affects a lot in the day-to-day operations of any library. In this session, we’ll cover basic questions about the E-rate process, discuss big picture strategy for libraries in general looking to utilize E-rate to meet goals (including a review of some strategies for background research of current trends in rates for services), take a look at what is going on at the FCC, and tackle unique problems Libraries face in serving their patrons and communities through E-rate.

Workshop Presenter(s): Splunk Workshop Description: Cybersecurity incidents around the world have put nation-states on alert. In the U.S., Trump’s executive order has directed federal agencies to follow risk assessment standards established by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), with NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) at their core. Now, public entities have the enormous task of ensuring that they are staying up to date and meeting these security industry standards.

Workshop Presenter(s): Jeff Westphal, Regional Technical Leader Trend Micro, Inc. Workshop Description: In the cloud, you can’t use traditional perimeter security tools. You need security built for the cloud that protects your workloads but won’t impact agility and access. Join Trend Micro to compete and defend your cloud workloads from attack using industry-leading security capabilities with Deep Security for Hybrid Cloud. Use our interactive environment to learn about tools that optimize security for environments such as Microsoft Azure, VMWare Cloud, AWS and others. Your goal is to conquer the Threat Defense Challenge, and be the best defending your cloud workloads against attacks. The winning team gets to go home with some exciting and cool prizes! This will not be your typical product training session! There will be loads of action without the dull presentations. Make sure to bring your laptop and a standard web browser for support.

Workshop Presenter(s): Michael Giordano, CISSP, Principal Security Architect, Dyntek Workshop Description: As GDPR requirements begin to take effect, accurately identifying and securing your data is more challenging than ever. As the amount of organizational data continues to grow rapidly, security teams are simultaneously facing new compliance and regulatory mandates that require greater insight and visibility into data than ever before. To overcome these challenges, it’s more critical than ever that IT discovers new approaches to identifying all of their organization’s data and providing security wherever that data resides. In this workshop, join DynTek Services and Digital Guardian for an eye-opening look at the future of data security and threat prevention.
