PhishMe Inc. to Present at 2013 (ISC)2 Security Congress in Chicago

CHICAGO, Sept. 18, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- (ISC)² Security Congress -- PhishMe, the leading provider of security behavior management services that improve employees' resilience towards spear phishing, malware, and drive-by attacks, today announced that its CEO and co-founder, Rohyt Belani, will present at (ISC)² Security Congress in Chicago next week. Co-presenting with Brandon Dunlap of Brightfly Consulting, Belani will discuss why protecting U.S. critical infrastructure and industrial control systems (ICS), such as Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA), will continue to be a key homeland security and national security issue and why spear-phishing attacks are a major threat. As the U.S. still tops the charts for providing the most comfortable hosting platforms for phishing sites internationally, the panelists will discuss the highly controversial approaches to U.S. offensive and defensive cyber strategy moving forward.  

At Security Congress 2013, Rohyt will also be taking the stage with Tim Wilson, Editor of Dark Reading, and (ISC)² Foundation Director, Julie Peeler, to offer a look at the successes and failures of security awareness training, end user psychology and social engineering methods. The goal of the session is to help enterprise security professionals diagnose problems with their user awareness programs and find methods to not only increase end users' knowledge, but actually change their behavior to make it harder for attackers to gain entry to sensitive enterprise data. This is sure to be a hard-hitting panel with participants from all sides of the security awareness spectrum.

Rohyt will also be leading a presentation around sophisticated spear-phishing attacks, cybercrime and electronic espionage, where he will discuss the use of technical controls that are often presented as silver bullets, but continue to provide false hope and a false sense of security to employees.
