Inbox Zero and Other Time Management Tricks

The average worker spends 500 hours per year processing 200 emails a day. In this talk, Dan Hadaway, Information Architect and founder of infotex, will show us how he and his team changed their email processing habits, resulting in increased productivity by saving 1,000s of hours of email processing, lower anxiety, and increased collaboration.

Break the Tie

We often describe cybersecurity as a battle where the bad guys sometimes win, and we can only hope for a tie. When Dan heard an examiner state this, after a recent guidance that weakened the out of wallet control, Dan decided it’s time for community banks to break that tie!

Here’s how!

The presentation includes recorded reenactments of Pretext Calling examples and commentary on how they could be improved or changed and how they help arm us with the Awareness to Break the Tie that is Cybersecurity!

Deliverables will include pertinent boilerplates and summaries.

What is a SIEM and Why Do You Need One?

When you hear the word, “SIEM,” if you think of a system that includes a database, sensors on the network, agents on critical assets and lots of threat intelligence, it’s like you are describing a friend by listing his or her body parts.

A SIEM is actually a process executed by a collaboration of three teams. The database you call a “SIEM” (or a SIM or a SEIM) is actually a subsystem to a process that, if not fully understand, will lead to poor incident responses.

In this talk, Michael will help us understand why, especially in community banking, the interaction of the three teams is essential not only to incident response, but also incident prevention.
