Our speaker this month will be Wendy Nather. Wendy Nather is Principal Security Strategist at Duo Security. She was previously the Research Director at the Retail ISAC, as well as Research Director of the Information Security Practice at independent analyst firm 451 Research. Wendy led IT security for the EMEA region of the investment banking division of Swiss Bank Corporation (now UBS), and served as CISO of the Texas Education Agency. She speaks regularly on topics ranging from threat intelligence to identity and access management, risk analysis, incident response, data security, and societal and privacy issues. Wendy is co-author of The Cloud Security Rules, and was listed as one of SC Magazine's Women in IT Security "Power Players" in 2014.

Wendy will be speaking to us about the security and privacy implications of physical vs electronic identity. Security has been trying to catch up with technology all this time, but the gap may well be increasing, particularly with the growth of consumer devices and the Internet of Things. The reason has to do with delegation and proxy activities online. Current identity and access models are no match for the real world of legal, fiduciary and minor representation. This talk is about what needs to change so that both security and privacy are truly available to all members of society.

Join us for the discussion from 7:00PM-9:00PM, followed by drinks and camaraderie from 9:00PM-10:00PM at Firehouse Lounge (605 Brazos St).

Capital Factory is located at 701 Brazos Street, on the 16th floor of the Omni Hotel. Once on the 16th floor, there should be a sign at the front desk directing you to our meetup. If there is no sign, and no one is on duty at the desk, we are usually in the room to the left of the front desk.
