Hacking Trends

Mark "Simple Nomad" Loveless

You've installed firewalls. Your anti-virus and anti-spyware is up to date. You patch all of your systems as quickly as possible. The digital wagons have been circled and your perimeter is as tight as possible. Are you secure? Probably not. In fact, "probably not" may be too optimistic. The landscape of the hacker is ever-changing. As new defenses are developed, attackers develop new techniques and chart out new and unique attack vectors to gain access to computer systems. This talk will focus on how attack trends have evolved, where they seem to be heading, and how the security professional cannot simply rely on tried and true techniques to help protect an organization. Expect a frank, open, and lively talk with tales from both sides of the security fence.

Mark "Simple Nomad" Loveless has worked in the computer security field for years. He is the Security Architect for Autonomic Networks, a company currently in stealth mode. Mark is also the founder of the Nomad Mobile Research Centre, a hacker think-tank with an international membership of like-minded security professionals involved in the security industry. Mark has been quoted frequently in the press including such notable outlets such as the New York Times, the Washington Post, and CNN. He is a frequent lecturer and keynote at security conferences worldwide, typically on topics involving computer security and personal privacy.

Pre-Meeting 10:30am

Keeping America Running: Securing Our Nation's Critical Infrastructure Assets
Sujeet Shenoi, University of Tulsa

Can a criminal entity or terrorist group -- from the other side of the world -- take out down the Internet and telecommunications systems? Or launch a worm that disrupts oil and gas pipelines, water and electric power distribution?

How will America cope if the outages last for days?

The critical infrastructure, which comprises computers, embedded devices, networks and software systems, is vital to day-to-day operations in every sector -- agriculture, food, water, public health, emergency services, government, defense, information and telecommunications, energy, transportation, banking and finance, chemicals and hazardous materials, and postal and shipping. Global business and industry, government -- indeed society itself -- cannot function if major components of the critical infrastructure are degraded, disabled or destroyed. This presentation highlights the challenges involved in securing interconnected critical infrastructure assets, in particular, the Internet and IP networks, telecommunications networks, and process control (SCADA) networks used for oil and gas, water and electric power distribution. Also, it discusses the importance of designing security solutions that weave science, technology and policy.

Sujeet Shenoi is the F.P. Walter Professor of Computer Science at the University of Tulsa. An active researcher with specialties in cyber security and forensics, Dr. Shenoi is currently the principal investigator on projects supported by the Departments of Defense and Homeland Security, FBI, National Security Agency, National Science Foundation, and U.S. Secret Service.

He is the Chair of IFIP Working Group 11.10 on Critical Infrastructure Protection, Editor-in-Chief of the International Journal of Critical Infrastructure Protection, and Director of the Cyber Security Education Consortium, an NSF ATE Center that is building a high-tech workforce in the Southwestern United States. He is the Co-Chair of the FBI's National Steering Committee for the Regional Computer Forensics Laboratory Program. He is also the founder of the Tulsa Undergraduate Research Challenge, a nationally recognized program of scholarship and service. For his innovative strategies integrating academics, research and service, Dr. Shenoi was named the 1998-1999 U.S. Professor of the Year by the Carnegie Foundation.

Post-Meeting 1:30pm

Spreadsheet Use in Your Enterprise – Conquering the Risks
Doug Berryhill, with Lane Severson assisting, Business Controls Analyst, Compassoft, Inc.

Highly publicized incidents of corporate losses traced to spreadsheet errors and misuse are driving intense corporate interest in getting control of spreadsheets and other end-user applications. And, not surprisingly, government regulations - such as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act - are driving increased scrutiny of spreadsheet controls by major auditing firms.

In this presentation, Compassoft will provide specific guidance on advancements in spreadsheet management best practices and automation technologies that scale across the enterprise. A comprehensive spreadsheet control strategy will be outlined that will reduce risks with a sustainable, automated approach to meet your financial reporting, internal audit, and regulatory compliance needs.

In this seminar you will learn to:

• Identify sources of spreadsheet-based risk in your enterprise
• Assess and prioritize the risk in a structured and automated way
• Quickly find errors and fraud in critical spreadsheets
• Sustainably control risk based on business policies

Doug Berryhill, Compassoft Regional Manager brings over 25 years of successful management, sales, and consulting experience to Compassoft from enterprise software and systems consulting firms. Prior to Compassoft Doug was the sales manager for the eastern United States with The SAS Institute for six years, Divisional Vice President at Computer Associates for five years, and Consulting Services Manager at Cap Gemini for nine years.

IIA Research Foundation

The Research Foundation has recently issued a book entitled Auditing Human Resources. Human resource management (HR) covers a broad spectrum of workforce activities. Despite its integral role, HR is often considered a “soft” area and management may not understand the inherent risks involved with this function, including employment law issues, compensation and benefit plan design, recordkeeping and potential fraud issues. In today’s environment, some new issues have moved to the forefront in HR, including:

• Executive management ethics
• Skyrocketing healthcare costs
• HR outsourcing
• Baby boomer exodus – labor shortage, aging and diverse workforce
• Knowledge work – managing knowledge workers

An organization should audit the HR function to:

• Perform routine check-up (uncover any unfavorable conditions and set up a treatment plan)
• Determine how to best align HR operations with organizational goals
  Ensure compliance with federal and state employment regulations

This handbook is an essential tool for internal auditors to examine the technical and practical dimensions of the HR function and to create a comprehensive system that adds value to the organization.

The book can be ordered online at – www.theiia.org/index.cfm?act=form.bookstore, or calling toll free 1-877-867-4957. (Order number 1034, IIA member price - $45, non member price - $60).

Ring in the New Year!
More Programs and Students…

The program at UTD has expanded this past year to include a new Advanced Auditing program that is taught with the skills necessary for the audit senior. We have also added a new Assistant Director of the Internal Audit program, Chris Linsteadt, who is teaching courses related to external audit with the hopes that some students will see the differences and advantages of internal audit. Make sure you introduce yourself to Chris at one of the events. Speaking of events our annual Fraud seminar that supports the program is planned for March 28 which is planned to be bigger and better than last year. Make sure you sign up in advance as it is planned to sell out this year.

The funding from this event has made it possible to provide benefits back to the chapter along with funding positions for teaching assistants who are busy recruiting new students into the program. In the spring semester, you should see Marndi Church, Melissa Ewing, John Hall, and Kunaal Sarna who will be assisting with various events and recruiting more students into the program.

Our biggest issue is still advocacy of the profession and educating students of the possible careers in internal audit. All of you can help in the issue by talking to as many students throughout the year and educating them on the possibilities of careers that start in internal audit.

As I mentioned in a fall newsletter, we hope to grow the student chapter to over 200 students by May 2008. All of you have an opportunity to help in this effort. We have in place a number of methods to have employers meet students and explain the benefits of careers in internal audit. So the good news is there are avenues to recruit students, but you must get them early. A new batch of students get involved every semester so reviewing the status of who is available every February and September is a great idea.

To schedule a reception, site visit, interview or just peruse resumes, contact Mark Salamasick at 972-883-4729 or mark.salamasick@utdallas.edu. The student chapter will have resumes posted after February 8 and interviews start in mid February. The student chapter website is www.utdallas.edu/orgs/iia with posted resumes. Contact Mark Salamasick for the user id and password.
