36: The S4 Conference: Why You Should Attend Every Year


Listen Later

The S4 Conference is one of the pinnacle events of the year for anyone interested in hearing deep subject matter experts speak. It is definitely worth attending if you are not formally part of the (CS)²AI community.

Today, Derek Harp shares a short podcast he created after attending the 22nd S4 Conference, held from the 19th to the 21st of April this year.

Dale Peterson is the Founder, Creator, and MC of the S4 Conference. He was on a recent (CS)²AI Podcast episode, talking about how S4 came about. Patrick Miller was also a recent guest on the (CS)²AI Podcast. He “accidentally” founded the informal yet powerful and informative after-hours BEER ISAC part of the S4 event.

The recent S4 Conference was a great opportunity for everyone to get back together, in person after Covid! This year, 800 people attended the event. The speaker line-up was just as amazing as it has always been in the past! Many women were present, and there was also a well-attended Women in ICS social pre-event that took place on the Monday before the main event.

In this episode, we share some comments on the recent S4 event made by Andrew Ginter, VP Industrial Security from Waterfall Security Solutions and Isiah Jones, Principal Security Engineer-ICS Security Integration from Resilience. Stay tuned for more!

Show highlights:

  • Andrew’s biggest takeaway from the event was finding out that the industry wants cyber security regulations. 
  • The shipping industry is price sensitive. They should spend some money and effort on cyber security but won’t spend a penny unless their competition does the same.
  • Andrew explains why he was surprised to learn that the industry wants cyber security regulations.
  • Isiah enjoyed the diversity at the event! He was happy to see so many female technical engineers and black people attending the event.  
  • Isiah enjoyed seeing many new people interested in the more technical topics.
  • Isiah explains why he was happy to see Jen Easterly show up at the event to address the community directly.
  • Isiah enjoyed listening to new topics on PLCs, containers, and the latest attackers living off the land.
  • Seeing and interacting with everyone at the latest S4 event, and seeing new people get their coins, was good for Isiah’s mental health!
