As members of the IST team make their way to San Francisco this week for RSA Conference, IST’s Sophia Mauro reflects on the conference theme “Stronger Together,” an idea that is central to IST’s work.

“IST’s #RansomwareTaskForce demonstrates the Stronger Together model in action,” she writes. “Not only is the theme relevant to our work, but it also applies to the many initiatives and collectives in which we take part.” She calls out #CyberCivilDefense initiative, Nonprofit Cyber and Cyber Threat Alliance, among others.

We look forward to seeing you at #RSAC2023! Join us for the following panels:

Monday, 4/24 at 1:10 PM PT: IST’s Zoë Brammer will moderate the panel, Mapping the #Ransomware Payment Ecosystem & Opportunities for Friction with panelists Justin Herring, Jacqueline Burns Koven (Chainalysis Inc.), and Matt McCabe (Kivu Consulting). The panel will present findings from our ransomware payment ecosystem map, identify opportunities for disruption & discuss how the cybersecurity community can help.

Thursday, 4/27 at 10:50 am PT: In light of the latest #UnitedNations negotiations on a #cybercrime treaty, what is at stake? How might the treaty intersect with existing international instruments for cooperation? IST’s Megan Stifel will moderate the session, The Promise and Peril of a UN Cybercrime Treaty. Together with panelists John Hering (Microsoft), Jane Lee (U.S. Department of Justice), and Charley Snyder (Google), the panel will explore implications for criminalization, human rights, and the private sector.
