Solution Room

1 Hour workshop Presented by the United States Secret Service

What is a Solution Room?

The Solution Room is a highly engaging and interactive conference session that aims to provide cybersecurity leaders with peer-to-peer support and subject matter expertise to tackle their most pressing challenges. Through a combination of small group discussions, expert moderators, and support from U.S. Secret Service Agents, attendees will work through the lifecycle of a Business Email Compromise (BEC) attack.


What does participation in the Solution Room look like?

To enhance your learning experience, we invite you to join one of the ten tables for this collaborative session. Each table will be moderated by a knowledgeable CyberEdBoard member, and a U.S. Secret Service Agent will be present to provide valuable insights into law enforcement partnerships during a compromise. 

To kick off the session, Tom Field, Senior Vice President of Editorial at ISMG, will set the stage with a fictitious Business Email Compromise (BEC) scenario. Each group will receive identical sets of questions and work collaboratively to find the answers. As the exercise progresses, new information will be revealed, adding unexpected twists and turns to the scenario. Through this dynamic approach, participants will be challenged to apply critical thinking skills and work as a cohesive team to effectively respond to the evolving situation. Our goal is to provide a stimulating and engaging learning experience that equips you with the skills and knowledge needed to handle real-world BEC scenarios.


Partnering with the US Secret Service 

The U.S. Secret Service brings extensive experience and expertise in investigating and preventing BEC attacks, and participants will have the unique opportunity to learn from the experts during the workshop. They will gain a deeper understanding of the anatomy of a BEC attack, including its mutations, and how to identify, disrupt, and prosecute cybercriminals involved in such schemes.


The Solution Room offers a valuable learning experience for cybersecurity leaders seeking to enhance their knowledge and skills in combating BEC attacks.

Innovation and Collaboration: Unlocking the Potential of the Modern CISO in 2023

Matanda Doss, Executive Director, Cybersecurity and Technology Controls, Commercial Bank, JPMorgan Chase & Co.
Elizabeth Gossell, AVP Deputy CISO, Cyber Strategy & Programs, Amtrak

The “modern” CISO must take advantage of every opportunity to strengthen their organizations’ defenses. While many expect the economy and business activity to slow down in 2023, bad actors do not adhere to these cycles. With a potentially slower pace of business activity, CISOs have the opportunity to improve upon their existing programs and sharpen their communications to effectively translate security-speak to management decision makers. Our expert group of CISOs will share their perspectives on what lies ahead in 2023 and how to communicate budget needs and the evolving threat environment to management. They will:

  • Assess the opportunities in a “down cycle” to improve existing programs
  • Discuss effective communication to decision makers in management
  • Decipher the biggest challenges for building and maintaining a successful security team
