Breakout Session Details:

A1: Cyber Security; Special Agent Mike Poston, FBI
Every day, criminals are invading countless homes and offices across the nation- not by breaking down windows and doors, but by breaking into laptops, personal computers, and wireless devices via hacks and bits of malicious code. Most company's sensitive data is stored on computers and data, money, and ideas are stolen through cyber intrusions.
A2: What You Don't Know Can Hurt You: Understanding Export & Import Compliance; Mike Allocca, President, Allocca Enterprises
This session will strengthen your understanding of reasonable care and due diligence and how to strengthen your
company's overall import/export compliance procedures.
US export regulations and controls, including the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and ways your product might be licensed, will be covered. You will learn how to build layers of protection for your company.

B1: Visitor Risk Mitigation: Hardening the Target; Special Agent L.T. Seals, FBI
Anytime visitors enter your facility, they could pose a security risk to your intellectual property, your competitive edge and in some cases, to technologies deemed valuable to national security. Learn about common elicitation techniques and protective measures you can take for hosting visitors, during facility tours, and during long-term & joint venture scenarios.
B2: Assessing Threats in Your Global Supply Chain; Priscilla Royster, Asst. V.P. Compliance, John S. Connor, Inc.
The security of the international supply chain starts with the origin of the cargo and ends with the final destination. Companies involved in global trade have the responsibility to identify customers, suppliers, cargo, countries and activities that may pose a greater risk to the overall supply chain.This session will provide a variety of information to assist companies in creating their individual risk assessment plans.

C1: Establishing a Safety and Security Program; John Maffey, Bus. Dev. Manager and Angela Starner, COO, M3T Corporation
How do you reduce costs, increase profitability and mitigate risks with security? This session seeks to take a strategic security approach to both physical and digital security. You will learn how to circumvent these limitations through security surveys, policies and procedures. You will see how to create a security oriented company culture so that meeting compliances such as PCI DDS, HIPPA/HITECH, STIG, NIST and FDCC best practices will be integrated into the forefront of your business, not just an appendage after the fact.
C2: Economic Espionage: Internal & External Threats; Special Agent Charles Kelly, FBI
The FBI estimates that every year billions of U.S. dollars are lost to foreign and domestic competitors who deliberately target economic intelligence in flourishing U.S. industries and technologies. If your company has a technological edge, expect your technology, and those with access to it, to be targeted. If your company has developed a process to manufacture an item at less cost than others, that manufacturing process may be targeted. Learn how to protect your company from economic espionage and keep programs and systems secure.
