Dr Chris Pierson has held many roles and has been a regular speaker at RSA Conference over the years. What's he up to this year as the event goes back to in-person engagements?

As the CEO of BlackCloak, Chris Pierson is looking forward to connecting with peers, partners, customers, and prospects as the world of executive cybersecurity heats up. In addition to seeing friends old and new, Dr Pierson has two sessions in which he will be participating. He shares some insights into both of these sessions. Here's a snippet for each:

Collateral Damage: Prepping Your Organization for a Supply Chain Attack Supply chain risks can allow a backdoor into a company. This learning lab will focus on a fast moving scenario that examines risks to a company from hardware and software and will focus on the (1) risk assessment, (2) governance, and (3) response and isolation phases. This session will follow Chatham House Rule to allow for free exchange of information and learning. We look forward to participants actively engaging in the discussion and remind attendees that no comment attribution or recording of any sort should take place. This is a capacity-controlled session. If added to your schedule and your availability changes, please remove this session from your schedule to allow others to participate.

Hacking Back – To Be or Not to Be? Are there options to hack back for ransomware attacks? Without deterrence for ransomware attacks it is unlikely there will be changes to the risk equation that hackers think through. We’ll discuss legal, ethical, operational, and security issues surrounding hacking back and give some insight into potential pitfalls for getting attribution incorrect or causing collateral damage.

Chris has some other things up his sleeve as well. Can you say MySpace? 🤔
