RiskSense to Present Offensive Approach for Cyber Resilience at Federal IT Security Conference (FITSC)

SUNNYVALE, Calif. and ALBUQUERQUE, N.M., Nov. 9, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- RiskSense®, Inc., the pioneer and market leader in cyber risk management, today announced that Daniel Culpepper, the company's director of systems engineering and a leading expert in security architectures will present at the Federal IT Security Conference (FITSC) in Columbia, MD on November 14, 2017.

    WHO:    Daniel Culpepper is director of sales engineering for RiskSense, and a hands-on
            expert in helping government agencies and enterprises implement cyber risk
            management infrastructures. He has served as a lead manager for Information
            Security at Freddie Mac and managed audit and enterprise risk consulting projects
            for Deloitte.


    WHAT:   By using artificial intelligence (A.I.), hackers can very quickly identify
            vulnerabilities in their target's infrastructure and launch exploits at tremendous
            scale. In this session, Daniel Culpepper will use a case study to illustrate the
            magnitude of the "malevolent A.I." threat, and present a new approach that
            governments and enterprises can use to go on the offensive, called Human Expertise
            + A.I. He will explain how it enables security operations teams to quickly acquire
            an "attacker's view" of their entire attack surface, e.g., networks, endpoints,
            applications, cloud services, mobile and IoT devices, and industrial control
            systems. Culpepper will also discuss how Human Expertise + AI can be used to
            determine attack susceptibility, validate exploitable vulnerabilities, test the
            efficacy of existing security controls, and focus remediation efforts based on
            asset criticality.


    WHEN:  Tuesday, Nov. 14, 2017 from 3:45 pm-5:00 pm EST.


    WHERE: Phoenix TS, 10420 Little Patuxent Parkway, Suite 500, Columbia, MD 21044.
