Network Noise: Cyber Tabletop Exercise and Incident Response Planning – Orlando

Join Cyber Florida Senior Fellow Stacy Arruda, Founder and CEO of the Arruda Group and former FBI Supervisory Special Agent, for an eye-opening experience that will help you better understand how to prevent and recover from cyberattacks. The event starts with Network Noise, a three-hour tabletop exercise where real-world cyberattack scenarios illustrate the far-reaching effects a cyberattack can inflict on your organization. Bring your leadership team to learn how cyberattacks impact not only IT but also legal, finance, operations, human resources, public relations, and other departments.

Once you understand the threat, move on to preparation with a session on creating a comprehensive cyber incident response plan specific to your organization. You’ll leave equipped with a template and foundational plan you can take back to complete and test with your organization.

The International Association of Certified ISAOs (IACI) and Cyber Florida jointly present this session of Cybersecurity Education.

REGISTRATION DEADLINE IS AUGUST 10.

Developing Cybersecurity Curriculum with Cyber Threat Intelligence and Honeypot Platform

Join UNF on June 26, 2023 for a workshop on cybersecurity curriculum development!

With the rapid development of attackers’ Techniques, Tactics, and Procedures (TTP), it is necessary for cybersecurity analysts to develop cyber defense knowledge to protect cyber assets. The field of cyber threat intelligence provides a broad range of techniques for collecting useful information to analyze the attacker’s TTP. In this workshop hosted by the University of North Florida, instructors will discuss the development of a Cyber Threat Intelligence course. Moreover, they will discuss how the deployment of a Honeypot server can be used to improve students’ understanding of cyberattacks. Finally, they will discuss issues and considerations related to the development of cybersecurity curricula.

Cyber Florida to Host NCAE Cyber Games Finals

Cyber Florida at the University of South Florida is proud to host the national championship round of the NCAE Cyber Games on April 22 on the University of South Florida-Tampa campus.

Funded by a grant from the National Security Agency’s National Centers of Academic Excellence in Cybersecurity (NCAE-C) program, NCAE Cyber Games is dedicated to inspiring college students to enter the exciting (and sometimes profitable!) realm of cyber competitions. Cyber competitions are a valuable addition to any college student’s resume, but they can be intimidating for first-timers. NCAE Cyber Games is creating a new style of collegiate cybersecurity competition for college students who have never competed before, where they can learn about cyber competitions in an environment focused on teamwork, building confidence, and growing their skills.

Now in its second year, the program has grown from about 500 competitors from 50 colleges and universities to 700+ competitors from more than 80 colleges and universities out of approximately 350 NCAE-C institutions.

Cyber Florida will host roughly 12o competitors from 11 regional winning teams to face off in a day-long competition to determine the Year 2 National Champions! The University of South Florida eSports crew will broadcast live the second half of the day on https://www.twitch.tv/ncaecybergames.
