Global Cyber Security Initiative (GCSI) Conference 2018

Global Cyber Security Initiative (GCSI), in partnership with the Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT), Pan Asian American Business council (PAABC) and Convex Legal LLC are hosting the 2018 GCSI Cybersecurity Conference. We will host our first GCSI conference from 9am to 6pm, Friday, Nov. 9 at Chicago - Kent College of Law, 565 W. Adams St., Chicago.  The conference begins with a Hackathon showcasing innovative solutions to the problems facing highly regulated industries. We are bringing more than 100 cybersecurity leaders, Senior Executives, C-Level Executives, CISOs, Compliance Specialist, and Security Officers for sessions focused on Cyber Security Planning, Strategy, Risk & Budgeting.  GCSI was organized in October 2016 to address the SEC and FINRA’s annual areas of concern for their member firms. Since then, GCSI expanded to include topics, such as controlling your cyber security budget and how to discreetly hire a CISO. The GCSI expanded its focus to assist all highly regulated industries, including healthcare, insurance, finance, etc. Each month, we host events that bring together executives to discuss topics such as cybersecurity insurance, human engineering and more. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8c2wYr8Hvk&feature=youtu.be Schedule                Morning Hackathon schedule   9:00 - 9:25 am      Ed Lamark -  Wealthfront: Fintech   9:25 - 9:50 am      Anita Nikolich - Illinois Tech: Cryptocurrency and cybersecurity   9:50 - 10:15 am    Kassem Fawaz :  AI and the changing landscape of privacy notice and choice   10:15 - 10:30 am  Coffee break   10:30 - 11:00 am  GDPR Panel discussion:   Moderator: Brian Jenkins, Business Block/ Former CNN correspondent       Henry Beverly, Deputy CIO, Cook County   Maurice Dawson Jr., D.Sc., Ph.D., SMIEEE, Director of Illinois Institute of Technology Center for Cyber Security and Forensics Education (C2SAFE), Assistant Professor of Information Technology and Management   Shuchi Jain, Marketing Research Analyst at Illinois Institute of Technology   Andrew Kumiega, Assistant Professor of Analytics, Stuart school of Business, Illinois Institute of Technology     Ed Lamark - Founder of Wealthpool LLC    11:00 - 12:00 am: Hackathon Award Ceremony  Noon - 1                  Lunch (Round Table - By invitation only) Moderator: Michael Philips CEO, VSEC, LLC 1-1:50                     Keynote: Sujeet Shenoi, University of Tulsa Topic: Why are critical infrastructure assets so easy to attack? 1:50-2:20                Panel: Emerging Technologies: Blockchain for contract management Moderator: Sean O'Kelly, CIO, State of Illinois Wulf Kaal.
