Heather Mahalik Barnhart Speaking Topics

  • Securing the Family

    Today, we are more digitally connected than ever before, as more people work from home, remote e-learning has grown exponentially, and Wi-Fi-enabled "smart" devices increasingly occupy different aspects of our daily lives. Our children are super savvy about the latest model of mobile phone, while our aging parents need help with theirs. All of this connectivity brings plenty of benefits and convenience, but each connected device also brings increased risk.

    "Every personal device used is a potential entry for system threats", says Heather Mahalik, Digital Forensics Expert, SANS Faculty Fellow, Cellebrite Senior Director of Community Engagement, and mother of two. "Cyber attackers can target anyone’s home – no one is invulnerable", she says. "Risks to our digital safety are everywhere, but there are steps you can take to protect yourself and your family".

    Barnhart developed the SANS Security Awareness #SecureTheFamily global initiative to help keep your kids, family, and home safe from cyber harm. Leverage these tools to learn practical advice on how to keep your family safe online with a focus on proper device usage and limits for all ages.

  • Navigating the Cybersecurity Field as a Female

    How easy is it to function in a field that is predominantly male when you don't fit that description? This is a question that I am often asked and love to share feedback on. As a self-made expert in this field, I have dodged some land mines, learned to form a team of people who support me, and learned how to push the boundaries needed to get ahead.

    Certain skills will ensure your path can be paved as smoothly as possible.

    • Learning to say "Yes" to the right opportunities and "No" to those you don't want.
    • Learning to ask for more.
    • Finding good mentors and mentoring others.

    All of these skillsets can help you gain footing in this field. Sharing the background on how Heather gained respect of those in the field and became a recognized expert may inspire you to chase your dreams even if you don't fit the profile.

  • The Five Most Dangerous New Attack Techniques

    Which are the most dangerous new attack techniques? How do they work? How can you stop them? What’s coming next and how can you prepare? This fast-paced briefing features the three people best positioned to provide answers and best able to communicate them: the nation’s top expert/teacher on mobile forensics, the director of the Internet Storm Center and the top hacker exploits expert-teacher in the US. They also answer audience questions.

  • Under Pressure - How to Make Sure You Don't Burn Yourself in DFIR

    Whoever said we must be perfect is greatly mistaken. We are human and we all make mistakes, and we must learn how to handle the pressure we put on ourselves and what other push upon us. This keynote is going to discuss several things to include mistakes Heather has made during her 20+ years in DFIR and how she overcame them. Why were these mistakes made and how can you potentially avoid them from happening to you? In addition, how can we learn to deal with the pressure of not being able to solve a case or "find a smoking gun" that is being asked of us?

    Sometimes we grow when the evidence doesn’t speak to us. This talk will help you learn to manage expectations, accept that mistakes will be made, and see the growth in what happens when the evidence isn’t what someone told us it should be.
