Attend Duo's Talks at RSAC 2018
We’re thrilled to have several Duo folks presenting at the conference this year. Make sure to mark your calendar and reserve a seat on your RSAC agenda for the following sessions:
Realizing Software Security Maturity: The Growing Pains and Gains, on Tuesday, April 17 at 3:30 p.m., presented by Mark Stanislav, Duo's Director of Application Security, and Kelby Ludwig, Senior Application Security Engineer.
Abstract:
Software security is often boiled down to the “OWASP Top 10,” resulting in an ineffective sense of what maturity-focused, comprehensive application security could be like. How then should an organization consider building a holistic program that seeks to grow in maturity over time? Come hear how one team has taken on this challenge and learn what has, and has not, worked on their own
journey.
Pragmatic Perimeters: Making "Zero Trust" and "BeyondCorp" Work for You, on Wednesday, April 18 at 11:45 a.m., presented by Wendy Nather, Duo’s Director of Advisory CISOs.
Abstract:
The old perimeter is being supplemented, as the firewall shouldn’t be the only policy enforcement point. Discuss the “zero trust” and Google “BeyondCorp” models with your peers: how to adopt this new way of looking at users, endpoints and applications; what resources are needed; and which risks it mitigates.
Corpsec: “What Happened to Corpses A and B?”, on Friday, April 20 at 9:00 a.m., presented by Chris Czub, Duo’s Senior Information Security Engineer.
Abstract:
Living BeyondCorp comes with its own challenges. This talk will dive into how Duo gets our hands around difficult problems regarding the security and management of cloud services and endpoints internally. This session will cover technical details of our security orchestration and automation approach, cloud service monitoring, and chatops-driven endpoint application whitelisting strategies.
“The System...Is People!”: Designing Effective Security UX, on Friday, April 20 at 11:30 a.m., presented by Zoe Lindsey, Duo’s Advocacy Manager.
Abstract:
In an organization, people make up a complex system that is crucial for security teams to understand. Education, messaging and culture are all “inputs” for this system, and user behavior is its output. This session will cover how the actions and values an organization rewards—individual bias, training methods and the security team/user relationship—can improve or compromise security effectiveness.
OURSA (Our Security Advocates) Conference

This one-day, single-track conference is committed to bringing together a diverse set of experts from across the security, trust, and safety community to focus on the following four topics:
