The Elephant Room: Presentations on Those things we all deal with but nobody talks about.
Abstract:
This meetup we are fortunate to have Dr. Gordon Josephson, a local clinical psychologist, who will respond to the questions we received in our brief online survey on Workplace Stress and Mental Health in the IT and Security Fields.
Bio:
Dr. Gordon Josephson is registered as a psychologist with the College of Psychologists of Ontario and has been working in private practice since 2004. Dr. Josephson obtained a doctoral degree in Clinical Psychology from the University of Ottawa in 2004. Prior to this, he worked both internationally and in the Federal Government and as such he brings to his interactions with clients his experience and knowledge from working cross-culturally and in the culture of the Federal Government.
Dr. Josephson provides psychotherapy and assessment services to adults experiencing a variety of challenges such as: anxiety, depression, stress, anger, relationship difficulties, career concerns and adjustment to major life changes (including injury and illness).
Dr. Josephson has a longstanding interest in Health Psychology and in the role of Psychology in not only treating but preventing physical and mental health problems; particularly through assisting people to better understand and increase their motivation for emotional and physical self-care/fitness.
- Measurement & Reporting for Appsec & Vulnerability Management
Abstract:
Intelligent metrics can help you get other people to do things they might not otherwise do, get your team to do things better (and understand what better means), show success towards objectives, and predict or plan for the future. Join Opheliar Chan as she shares her experiences building metrics to support application security and vulnerability management programs.
Bio:
Opheliar Chan spends most of her time trying to make software security more accessible, pragmatic, and FUD-free, both as Director of Advisory at Security Compass, while moonlighting as co-lead of the OWASP Toronto Chapter, or as a volunteer or advisor for other infosec groups. For over a decade, she has focused on application security, SDLC process consulting and implementations, program building, penetration testing/vulnerability assessments, and related. Prior to her career in consulting, she worked in security research, web application development, and technical writing.
