SUMMARY:ExecTech Webinar: Cyber Threats vs. Humans & the Future
DESCRIPTION:Cyber threats are increasingly targeting individual users in small to large organizations – initiating attacks via social engineering\, spear phishing\, or even attacking through their trusted suppliers. Technology based counter threats are trying\, but sometimes failing\, to keep up with the constant pace of threats change. More future focused strategies are needed. \nThis workshop explores current cyber threats targeting technology users\, and presents and discusses technology based as well as other strategies to help counter those threats. Predicting future threats and preparing for future threats is a further emphasis. \nThis session helps attendees: \n\nUnderstand current landscape of key technology based threats targeting our users.\nLearn of proven strategies to counter those threats – both IT technology based and helping users be part of the defense (and response).\nLearn how to predict future threats and identify needed defenses.\n\nMTUG thanks our volunteer board member Eugene Slobodzian\, who coordinated this event’s speakers and topic.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Managing Complexity in Tech Projects
DESCRIPTION:In this casual\, interactive discussion\, Kevin Callahan of Interaction Agility Inc.\, along with panelists Jennifer Thomson of Liberty Mutual Insurance\, and Kathy Warren of the Maine Department of Education\, will focus on the audience’s favorite capacity planning and prioritization topics in the dynamo of tech project management. \n  \nAudience members were invited to contribute discussion points and questions to the panelists via email or the LinkedIn Group and throughout the session. \nTopic Description: \nDeciding what to do\, how\, and with whom\, can be daunting\, paralyzing\, and carry substantial risk. If the world were perfectly predictable\, we would always know what to work on\, how long it would take\, the impact it would have\, and who we would need help from. \nFor better or worse\, this isn’t today’s world of business. On the contrary\, organizations are constantly reacting to new information and having to make critical decisions in the midst of uncertainty. While there are no easy solutions\, there are some proven rules of thumb to help stack the deck in your decisions.

SUMMARY:Brunswick Peers & Beers -- CyberSecurity Liability Requirements
DESCRIPTION:Our first Brunswick Peers & Beers! Almost 40 people registered for MTUG’s December Peers & Beers at Nomad at the historic Fort Andross in Brunswick to for networking\, learning\, and refreshments\, sponsored for the MTUG audience by Arctic Wolf ! \n  \nOur Tech Spotlight presenters Peter Luciano and Dennis Tuttle of Cross Insurance discussed Cybersecurity Liability Requirements – the 3rd leg of the cybersecurity tripod. \n  \n\nTech Spotlight Presentation Description: \n \nPresenter Dennis Tuttle\, IS Architect at Cross Insurance\, provides a brief overview of what perils cyber security risk insurance covers — and what it doesn’t. Trends indicate increasing threats from email through sophisticated phishing campaigns and ransomware attacks\, including via third-party attackers using attack platforms\, known as “Ransomware as a Service”\, to monetize unauthorized network access. \n \nDennis then focuses on the insurance application process — looking at various applications from 3 major insurance providers — to highlight which controls insurance companies are looking for when they measure a customer’s residual cybersecurity risk. He will then briefly discuss how you may assess and remediate your company’s potential gaps using internal and external resources. \nCo-Presenter Peter Luciano will be available to further address insurance and additional coverage topics and questions. \n

SUMMARY:Portland Peers & Beers -- a CyberSecurity User Group & Professional Education mixer!
DESCRIPTION:Make Cybersecurity Awareness Month last All Year Long! \n \nAt this first “Peers & Beers” in years MTUG featured “speed presentations” from local Cybersecurity User Groups and Security Education Programs. Each of 7 groups had a chance for a brief presentation\, with plenty of time to connect before and after. Over 50 registered\, and over 40 attended. Attendees learned about the cybersecurity groups meeting in our region\, plus the education and certification programs available for supported or formal learning. And there were flyers and stickers! \n \nIf you have a Security User Group or Cybersecurity Education Program serving Maine and Northern New England\, and missed this event\, please feel free to create an Account (top-right of our website)\, and once your account is approved you may then create a “Company” listing for your school or user group. There’s plenty of room in the listing fields to describe your user group meetings\, or educational programming. Final User Group and Education Program listing entries go under additional MTUG review.  See all our regional User Groups and Educational Programs in the MTUG Directory here. \nPhoto credits: Kate Carpenter. \n
