Central Plains Chapter Meeting:

"Email Security with DMARC", Mitch Roberson

Mitch Roberson is the Director of Enterprise Systems at CURO Financial Technologies. Having worked as a consultant at multiple VARs as well as Microsoft. Mitch has had the experience of seeing a multitude of environments. As well as working with both Network, Systems and Security teams. This has allowed him to broaden his knowledge in many areas of IT. Because of this broad experience, it has driven him to an almost fanatical desire to have visibility in his environments so he can understand what is happening within an environment. He still is responsible for day to day operations of Active Directory, Exchange, and much more, but his passion is to learn how applications communicate so he can decrease mean time to resolution.


Mitch will be presenting on DMARC


Email is one of the most common attack vector for nefarious actors. It is difficult to understand why more companies have not taken advantage of technologies that would help them and their partners decrease the risk associated with email. There are many approaches to stop these types of email attacks: everything from machine learning to signature based tools are being discussed. Unfortunately, no one has a really solid solution yet. However, one of the more common and less talked about technologies is DMARC combined with DKIM and SPF. This could be very effective if more people implemented it. This presentation will discuss the use of DMARC, how it works, and how it can improve your email security posture.

 

 

The Information Systems Security Association (ISSA)® is a not-for-profit international organization of information security professionals and practitioners.  It provides education forums, publications and peer interaction opportunities that enhance the knowledge, skill and professional growth of its members. We hope the ISSA will provide a chance to interface with other IT professionals and further your awareness of security practices and technologies.

 

This meeting is open to the general public with no expectations of membership.
