The psychology behind a threat actor

| September 2022 Member Event

A fantastic evening last night with the ISC2 London Chapter and Information Systems Security Association – UK Chapter (ISSA-UK), hosted by J.P. Morgan over at Canary Wharf.

The theme was ‘the psychology behind a threat actor’ and couldn’t have been more timely given some of the discussions and talks taking place at the International Cyber Expo this week and from the various committees and forums that a lot of us attend. What does motivate an attack? Regardless of whether it is nation-state or nation-state affiliated or an independent organised crime unit there is motivation and there seems to be intelligence to suggest that finance is not a driving force. So what is it?

Volunteer opportunities within various community outreach programmes

Help transform the Cyber Community Safety of London

(ISC)² London Chapter is sharing details of various programs of work to our members for volunteer opportunities. These programme of projects are being initiated to help transform the Cyber Community Safety of London.

Planning is under way for overlapping projects to create a Cyber Resilience Centre for London and a Cybersecurity Sector Careers Partnership . Both are likely to be publicly announced in September but they both need serious innovation and resourcing in order to succeed in meeting expectations.

(ISC)² has created an entry-level cybersecurity certification that will provide a first step through which we can attract and develop diverse talent for the cybersecurity teams of the future, including students, recent college graduates and career changers.

We’ve compiled an exam outline with more details on the content that each domain will cover. Candidates can register for the exam or explore education options at (ISC)2 entry-level-certification-pilot.

Chief Information Security Officer – how do we identify a CISO?

With the closing of 2021 the ISC2 London Chapter December event focused on the role of a CISO.

It was quickly apparent that the expectations of a CISO are vast, and the role varied between organisations. Tim Holman’s (2|Sec) presentation questioned the skills and qualifications that were truly required for a CISO role. In conclusion the CISO role was more of an advisory role across the different business units without necessarily ownership of the business function.

(ISC)2 Congress 2019

October 28^th to 30^th saw the 2019 (ISC)²Congress hit the magical word of Walt Disney World in Florida for 3 days of inspirational speakers, entertaining shows and thought-provoking seminars. With over 2,500 attendees, including 150 students, there was a little bit of something for everyone!

The inspirational key notes included Capt. “Sully” Sullenberger, who ever so eloquently articulated how he called upon his mental resilience to avert certain aviation disaster, through to Erik Wahl who portrayed (literally) how to abstract creativity that is within each and every one of us and apply this rule-breaking thinking to the world of security.
