Risk at the Edge: Lessons from the Deep for the Digital Frontier

What does descending to the bottom of the ocean have in common with defending a corporate network? More than you might think. In this presentation, Aaron Newman — entrepreneur, Gulf War veteran, and one of only a handful of people to have traveled both to space and to the deepest point on Earth — draws unexpected parallels between the calculated risks of extreme exploration and the disciplined risk management demanded of today's cybersecurity professional. Explorers and security practitioners share a common truth: the goal is never to eliminate risk. It is to understand it, prepare for it, and make deliberate decisions about when to press forward and when to pull back. Aaron will explore how the frameworks that keep divers alive at 36,000 feet below the surface translate directly to the decisions security teams face when protecting critical data and infrastructure. Attendees will leave with a fresh perspective on risk tolerance, threat modeling, and the mindset required to operate confidently at the edge — whether that edge is the floor of the Mariana Trench or the perimeter of your cloud environment.

Counterintelligence Is Not Only a Government Problem

Counterintelligence was built for nation-states, but the threat model has migrated. Foreign intelligence services, China's in particular, now target private-sector IP, supply chains, and personnel with the same tradecraft once reserved for government secrets. Yet most companies have no CI capability at all. They buy threat intelligence feeds that tell them what happened last week to someone else and call it a program. Drawing on 34 years of CIA operations, four tours as Chief of Station, and direct leadership of some of the most consequential espionage cases in recent decades, including service as CIA's Chief of Counterintelligence and architect of the Agency's gold-standard insider threat program, the speaker lays out what a real counterintelligence posture looks like inside a civilian organization. The talk covers the essential difference between reactive threat intelligence and proactive counterintelligence, the minimum viable CI program a CISO should build, and the specific ways foreign adversaries recruit and exploit insiders in the private sector.
