Salient CRGT Executive Joins Industry Leaders as Speaker at (ISC)2 Security Congress Educational EventFAIRFAX, Va., Sept. 12, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Salient CRGT, Inc. a leading provider of Agile software development, data analytics, mobility, cyber security, and infrastructure solutions, today announced that Chuck McGann, Chief Cyber Strategist, will be presenting at (ISC)2 Security Congress on Monday, September 12, 4:30 PM EDT, in Orlando, Florida. Mr. McGann's presentation is titled, "After the Breach – Learning How to Get Through It". He will discuss his experience as the former Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) at the United States Postal Service (USPS) about response and after actions. (ISC)2 Security Congress is a four-day training event for security professionals, focused on current and emerging issues, best practices, and challenges facing cybersecurity leaders.  "We are offering more than 90 education sessions in 11 tracks at this year's event," said Dan Waddell, CISSP, CAP, PMP, managing director, North America Region and director of U.S. Government Affairs, (ISC)2. "This is our largest event of the year, where we have the opportunity to focus on specializations within the cybersecurity field, like cloud and mobile security, which are increasing in importance through the government's 'Cloud First' mandate and the exponential growth of mobile device use." Mr. McGann, formerly Corporate Information Security Officer at the U.S. Postal Service (USPS), is Salient CRGT's Chief Cyber Strategist and focuses on cyber security protecion offerings for the federal and commercial markets. While serving at USPS, he oversaw security for one of the world's largest corporate infrastructures, supporting more than 30,000 locations; 600 enterprise applications; and over 500,000 employees across the agency. "As technology changes through the growth of mobile, cloud, and the Internet of Things, cyber security has to evolve as well. The Identity Theft Resource Center states that hacking incidents increased 8.4% in 2015 over the previous year, reaching a nine-year high," said Chuck McGann. "The question is not whether you will have a breach, but rather how bad will it be. Cyber intrusions are a fact of life. We need to recognize that fact and take the appropriate steps to protect our data and our customers' data to the best extent possible. In the analysis, will your team discover that they rely too heavily on cyber tools, or possibly that employees were inadequately trained? The most important questions we have to answer are, 'How did we get here?' and 'How do we fix these issues?'" Mr. McGann holds CISSP and CISM certifications as well as an Information Assurance Methodology certification from the National Security Agency. He previously co-chaired the Government Advisory Board on Cyber Security, is a current board member; is a participant in the EC-Council Foundation initiatives; and previously served on the government education advisory board at Symantec and on the customer advisory board at RedSeal Networks.
