[February 2018] The 3rd Face of Insider Threat by Carl Willis-Ford, CSRA Senior Principal

Thursday, February 15, 2018

5:30 PM – Networking & Dinner

6:00 PM – ISSA-NOVA Program

Carl Willis-Ford at CSRAWhile many Insider Threat assessments only include two categories (malicious and unintentional), there exists a strong argument to include a third category, the nonmalicious insider, employees that knowingly violate security policy, but not for malicious purposes. These employees present significant risk that may be at worst overlooked, at best underestimated, and impact both information and physical security.

Participants will hear significant examples of how nonmalicious insiders unwittingly participated in major data breaches by malicious insiders and outsiders. Research-based and practical approaches will be presented for recognizing and managing the nonmalicious insider, resulting in an improved overall security posture.

Carl Willis-Ford was a Navy Nuclear Reactor Operator on fast attack submarines. Since leaving the Navy, he has 25+ years in project management, security training, technical architecture, and data security. He currently works as a Senior Principal – Solution Architect for CSRA (https://www.csra.com). Carl is involved in numerous activities regarding training and awareness programs and cyber workforce development:

  • Advisory Board Member for the National Cybersecurity Students Association
