It’s a wonderful opportunity to discover the perfect wine or beer for upcoming holiday meals and gatherings, enjoy a delicious buffet of hearty hors d’oeuvres, socialize and network with interesting people, and bid on great silent and live auction items.

Please join us for Uncorking a Rich, Full Life!  We feel this describes the essence of what we work to achieve for all of the men and women with developmental disabilities in our program: To help them unleash their full potential and support them in living a life that is valued, productive and as independent as possible.

Sensei Officers Featured in SHRM Article

Sensei’s Sharon Nelson and John Simek were recently featured in “Employee Training Critical to Cybersecurity” by Dinah Wisenberg Brin with the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM). SHRM is the world’s largest HR professional society, representing 300,000 members in more than 165 countries.
Excerpt: Every time a company trains, its risk of falling prey to a successful phishing attack decreases by 20 percent, according to Sharon Nelson, attorney and president of cybersecurity firm Sensei Enterprises Inc. in Fairfax, Va.

One California law firm was the target of a serious phishing attack one week after employees received training, she said. Because of the training, the staff was sensitized, an alert went out and the firm averted a breach.

. . .

John Simek, Sensei vice president, noted that spam filters and other software can help firms fight phishing scams, with some programs converting attachments to PDF files and changing all incoming links. He cited Microsoft’s Office 365 Advanced Threat Protection and similar offerings from other software vendors, including Proofpoint. Even then, he said, training is important, and software can have flaws.

“Just because you have the technology in place, don’t think you’re bulletproof,” Simek said.

Penetration testing, or hiring an ethical hacker to break into the network, is an effective way to find vulnerabilities, according to Sensei’s founders, who said it is critical to find people with proper certifications. These can include training from the SANS Institute, a certified information-systems security professional designation from ICS², or a certified ethical hacker certification.

“This is the most dangerous kind of security testing that is done,” because things can go wrong unintentionally, Nelson said.

While penetration testing may be too costly for very small businesses, Nelson recommended that companies of any size hire an independent third-party vendor to

conduct a security audit to identify vulnerabilities and make recommendations to address critical problems. Company leaders should know that IT professionals are not necessarily trained in best practices for analyzing and improving a company’s security posture, Simek said.

Sensei Article Featured in Slaw Magazine

Sensei’s Sharon Nelson and John Simek’s article, “New WPA3 WiFi Standard Released” was featured recently in Slaw Magazine. Slaw is a Canadian online legal magazine.

Excerpt: Well, it’s finally here. In the fall of 2017, a vulnerability in WPA2 wireless encryption was discovered. Known as the Krack Attack, the flaw impacts every implementation of WPA2. The manufacturers needed to provide a patch update to fix the flaw. The Wi-Fi Alliance has now announced the availability of the WPA3 standard (to be implemented in certified devices starting later this year), vastly improving security over WPA2, which has been around for over 15 years and should be the current WiFi encryption of choice. WPA3 provides a new security protocol that contains improvements in terms of configuration, authentication and encryption. Just like WPA2, WPA3 will be available in personal and enterprise versions.
