Hilton Los Angeles/Universal City
California, USA
On behalf of the Los Angeles Chapter of ISACA (ISACA-LA) we want to welcome you to our 2015 Spring
Conference, "Protecting the Cyber Enterprise," a theme developed in support of ISACA International’s
Nexus initiative (www.isaca.org/cyber). We have come a long way since our now International organization was first formed in Los Angeles in 1967, when a small group of auditing professionals whose jobs
were to audit controls in computer systems, sat down to discuss the need for a centralized source of
information and guidance in the field. We are proud of our diverse membership today, which includes
a variety of professional IT-related positions—to name just a few, IS auditor, consultant, educator, IS
security professional, regulator, chief information officer and internal auditor. Some of us are new to
the field, others are at middle management levels and still others are in the most senior ranks. (They)
We work in nearly all industry categories, including financial and banking, public accounting, government and the public sector, utilities and manufacturing. Our Spring Conference 2015 gives good reason
for (these) our diverse group(s) to come together - to learn, to fulfill our IT governance responsibilities
and to better deliver value to the business. We hope you will join us in what promises to be an energizing and worthwhile Spring Conference 2015!

Theme:
Protecting the Cyber Enterprise
Keynote Speaker
Michele Robinson,
California State CISO
California is home to more than 38 million people and considered one of the largest
economies in the world. We are a very diverse population consisting of tech innovators in the Silicon Valley and across the state, aerospace projects at more than 3
NASA centers located in California, the entertainment industry capital, the leader in
small business development, venture capitalists, and with over half of the fruit
production in the US.
Every one of those businesses and consumers need technology to be competitive
while operating in a secure environment. Investments in the secure use of technology is paramount to sustained growth in our state. Join Michele as she discusses the
cyber threat, enterprise risk management strategy and how the California Cybersecurity Task Force is chartered with advancing California’s cyber security posture.
About Michele Robinson
Michele Robinson was appointed Director of the California Office of Information
Security (OIS) and State Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) by Gov. Jerry Brown
in May 2013. Robinson joined OIS in 2007 and assumed the position of Acting Director
in February 2013, where she served as the liaison to federal, State and local government on cyber security policies and issues. From 2010 to 2013, she served as Deputy
CISO and was responsible for managing the day-to-day operations of OIS and the
statewide information security program, including enterprise policy development,
disaster recovery planning, incident management, and compliance. From 2007 to
2010, Robinson served as Assistant CISO managing the statewide enterprise incident
management program and effecting several significant policies. Prior to joining OIS,

California Cybersecurity Task Force
Panel Discussion
Keynote Panel Moderator
Robert Stroud,
ISACA International President
As the first coordinated step toward securing California’s cyber infrastructure, California Governor Edmund “Jerry” Brown commissioned the California Cybersecurity Task Force, a cybersecurity advisory committee comprised of representatives from the public and private sectors,
academia, and law enforcement. Michele Robinson, CISO of the State of CA, has said that
because of the interconnectedness of government and private-sector IT assets, collaboration
has become crucial. And the ultimate goal, she said is to collaborate and work together to
improve cybersecurity for the state.
The California Cybersecurity Task Force is working to improve the state’s ability to adapt and respond to emerging cyber
threats. The coalition includes public, private and educational partners and is led by the Governor’s Office of Emergency
Services and the Department of Technology. Hear how the task force has been developing a statewide cybersecurity
strategy and is organized into the following 7 subcommittees (Legislation and funding, workforce and education development, economic and business development, information sharing, risk mitigation, emergency preparedness, and hightech and digital forensics).

The Value of Splunk and Big Data at
Southern California Edison (SCE)
Douglas Rhoades
Chief Engineer Cybersecurity, Southern California Edison
Southern California Edison (SCE) is in the middle of a multi-year deployment of a Unified Monitoring and Data Analytics
project that heavily leverages Splunk in order to increase Operational Intelligence. Splunk is used to continually aggregate data from networking equipment, firewalls, intrusion protection systems, the Windows Active Directory and most
endpoints. The Splunk system then classifies, indexes and stores this data, currently up to 3TB daily, to provide a basis
for SCE's Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) capability. This data is tapped for system performance
monitoring, forensic investigations, and detection of Indicators of Compromise (IOCs), which are available as pre-staged
reports or in interactive discovery sessions. SCE has barely scratched the surface of analytics' capability but has already
found value in categorization of web traffic, trending of access and authentication events and detection of some types
of anomalous behavior. SCE plans to expand the event correlation capability as data from additional sources is added
in the future, but Splunk and its associated data warehouse have already become the "go-to" source for cybersecurity
data.
After completing this session, participants will be able to:
● Understand what Splunk is and how a typical large deployment is organized
● Know the data types that are in use at SCE and why they are relevant to so many
● Become familiar with the types of data analyses that are supported by the above data

Manage a Cyber-attack?
Ren Powers
Vice President & Manager, City National Bank
While technically there are a variety of possible cyber-attacks and recovery options, this session will focus on the operational response and the associated risks of not being prepared to manage this type of incident. Using a playbook
approach we will identify the activities associated with planning prior to an incident, the actions that are taken during
the incident, and finally those tasks that must be done after the incident is over. This approach will enable us to define
roles and responsibilities of the incident response team and to insert the business continuity aspects that will enhance
the company's response to the incident. And throughout, the key operational activity: internal and external communications. Participants will be provided with a test scenario that can be used to either develop or evaluate an incident
response plan.
After completing this session, participants will be able to:

Devising Internal Controls for Enterprise SaaS
Chong Ee
Senior Finance Systems Manager, Twilio
With the enterprise increasing reliance on software as a service (SaaS) for operational and accounting processes, one is
tempted to think that internal controls over transaction completeness, accuracy and validity have been redistributed to
SaaS vendors armed with SSAE reports. Despite its ease of adoption, lack of sunk cost and pay as you go model, enterprise SaaS is not without accompanying risks. The presentation will demonstrate how a combination of factors - nontechnical users in smaller organizations, the ease of customization through point and click, as well as the high likelihood
of integrating with other SaaS in completing a transaction lifecycle - can lead one to rethink existing internal controls.

Governance, Compliance and Ethics of
Potential Access Gaps in Complex Systems
Eric Read
Associate Director, Audit, Risk Management and Compliance, UnitedHealth Care
Logical access to most systems are governed by assigned roles. However, complex systems may require access controls
outside of the defined roles. This may be due to requirements for specific access to the system front end, back end,
database and even require options such as security levels and template access. If these points of access are not
controlled within the specific roles, the annual Entitlement reviews used to demonstrate compliance may not be complete and accurate. This can easily lead to gaps in compliance. Accurate access compliance is a daily control, and additional processes may be necessary to manage compliance gaps in complex systems. So what do we do? Continue to

Speaker:
Assuming Network Compromise: How changing
your security perspective leads to proactive
threat detection and prevention
Nathan Swain
President, ANRC
Computer and network security has come a long way at a rapid pace, yet we still have devastating data and security
compromises each year in all industries. Producing and maintaining static attack signatures and Anti-Virus databases
against modern and dynamic malware is no longer a viable option for information assurance. Today we have to be
proactive and assume the bad guys are already past our defenses. The best defense is truly a good offense!
After completing this session, the participants will be able to:
● Strategize the best approach for implementing a pro-active network defense posture
● Compare and contrast the differences between legacy network security and this new security paradigm
