Toledo Tech Events

3 Nationally Known Cyber Security speakers presenting

(Speakers information and bio is in the RSVP link)

This first meeting will be to generate some ideas for group meet ups. Plans include possible speakers, labs, hackathons, CTF, and just an open forum for various exchange of ideas. Bring your coding projects. Bring ideas.

Glasscity Infosec is about "All things tech..information security, coding, devops, design, open source investigations, penetration testing, reverse engineering, CTF, social engineering, hackathons, group discussions, speakers."

Open Toledo moved its Meetup to same time and same place to merge into one event.

The Northwest Ohio chapter of ISSA (Information Systems Security Association) will be hosting a Capture the Flag contest on April 24, 2019 from 5:30 - 9:00 PM.

See a short recap of a previous Capture the Flag event.

We welcome participants of all experience levels and backgrounds.

For anyone new to the offensive side we'll walk through a number of flags from 6:30 - 7:30 PM and provide a penetration testing 101 type class.

We'll also have some defensive flags in place, as well as extensive monitoring for those more defense oriented.

Prizes for the top 3 teams/participants will be awarded at the end of the contest, as well as a quick recap of the flags and how to capture them.

This will be the folks from Open Toledo uniting with Glasscity Infosec to bring forth a collaborative, group focused approach to various technology related issues. Some subjects include Big Data, Smart City approach, Information Security, Law, Python, and just Data and Information in general. We will be working on furthering ideas generated at the last meeting about creating an application that utilizes big data to help in various forms(legal, marginalized communities, and Smart City Approaches)...

Bring laptops, ideas, and any recent projects you are working on!

Glasscity lets get together this Thursday at 6pm .at SIP coffee...

We are looking at doing a Spring Hackathon. We will be working on ideas for the project. If you love to code come chat it up. If you love Information Security and wish to show off yur sk1llz come on out. If you love data and engineering and knowledge, come meet up and share the wealth. Knowledge is power, without community we are lost. Bring ideas or just come to socialize.

Times have changed. In the “old days,” Infosec was rarely asked to the table to report to executives on Information Security Risk. The ever-changing landscape around Cyber Risk has forced this issue to be front and center on the minds of Executives and Boards of Directors. While this recognition has been what security professional have been asking for, they often struggle on how to communicate to the business. They feel compelled to present fancy dashboards with lots of data. This type of approach often leaves their company’s leadership with low levels of understanding when it comes to risk. In this presentation, Ethan Steiger will demonstrate an effective way to communicate the business problems around cyber risk. He will highlight real examples of how he tells the story to gain the confidence of C-level and Board Level executives while at the same time ensuring that he is communicating on the significant risk that this audience needs to aware of."

This month Northwest Ohio ISSA will be hosting a CTF (Capture the Flag) as part of its meeting. The CTF will include a variety of both offensive and defensive oriented challenges, trivia questions, and a variety of vulnerable systems for you to try to exploit. A brief session at the end will cover any flags that you want to learn more about or see how they were captured. We will also attempt to have some open source monitoring analyzing traffic, with a few monitors displayed to watch which attacks people are trying. To participate bring your own device (you should probably make sure to turn the firewall on as the network will most likely be hostile). We’ll have some USB sticks and DVDs with Kali, Parrot, and a few other random penetration testing or forensics analysis distributions that you can use in a Live boot capacity, or feel free to download and install your favorite distribution or toolset in advance! Feel free to bring your commercial tools if you like! The room that we have rented can fit up to 50 people, so please bring any friends that are willing to learn! Pizza, snacks, drinks, and more will be available for everyone! Come sit back and relax with us!

Northwest Ohio ISSA will be hosting an Ethical Hacking Capture the Flag (CTF) contest that will include a lesson and demonstration for beginners. All ages are welcome to attend, the lesson will cover ethical hacking methodology and demonstrate five attacks. These attacks will be available within the CTF afterwards so beginners can build on their new skills. Experienced participants are welcome to participate directly in the CTF or attend the lesson portion as well. Whether you're an information security professional, cybersecurity student, or just curious about this rapidly growing field, we hope you'll attend and learn more through hands-on participation. Participants can prepare by bringing a laptop and live boot USB (https://www.kali.org/get-kali/#kali-live)

This happy hour is to bring NW Ohio IT together to mix and mingle. Get to know the diffrent groups and people in your community who support and protect Information Technology. Sponsored by Exabeam.
