Tara Seppa, Regional Director, Google Cloud, New England

There’s no doubt that the COVID-19 pandemic is disrupting life as we once knew it. Now more than ever, individuals are seeking comfort in what is arguably the most unsettling crisis of the past decade. Regardless of your company’s size, scope, mission, or culture, there’s an opportunity for each of us to play a role in being of service to those around us, be they our family members, colleagues, or community members. When optimism is balanced with realism, and vulnerability is balanced with a steady hand, we can each make a difference. In this session, I’ll share how I’ve witnessed individuals making a difference at an organization that operates on the global stage.

Jason Rivera, Director: Threat Intelligence Advisors, CrowdStrike

Cyber threat actors of both the nation-state and criminal varieties are notorious for engaging in opportunistic attacks in order to achieve their malicious objectives. Unfortunately, the global COVID-19 pandemic is no different. Nation-state and criminal actors across the board have been observed leveraging COVID-19 themed lures to exploit their targets. From Coronavirus-themed phishing emails to ransomware schemes that exploit public information websites, the global threat actor community has demonstrated their willingness to take advantage of this global pandemic. Given the recent threat, this brief will discuss high level strategic observations as well as tactical intelligence pertaining to threat actor exploitation of COVID-19.
