Presenter: Victoria Doering
Chief Information Security Officer; President and Director, InfraGard Nevada
Presentation Title: Security Is a Human System: Designing Culture That Protects What Matters Most
NCMS is honored to welcome Victoria Doering as the Day 2 Keynote Speaker for the 62nd Annual Training Seminar. As a Chief Information Security Officer with more than 20 years of executive leadership experience, Victoria has led security and technology organizations across critical infrastructure, financial services, healthcare, defense, and government sectors. She presently serves as President and Director of InfraGard Nevada, partnering with the FBI, US Secret Service, and various other agencies to help protect the nation’s most critical systems. Victoria is a member of the Association of Former Intelligence Officers (AFIO,) the Order of the Sword and Shield (ΟΣΣ,) and has appeared on FOX, CBS, and other outlets as a cyber and physical security expert. In her keynote, “Security Is a Human System,” Victoria reveals how breaches really happen; not through technology alone, but through people and organizational culture. Through compelling, real-world penetration testing case studies, she will walk attendees through the tactics, techniques, and procedures used to gain access to highly sensitive environments; often without triggering a single technical control. She will break down how these incidents could have been prevented; exposing how fear-based, policy heavy models and misaligned incentives quietly create risk. Attendees will gain a powerful new perspective on how to design cultures where security is not enforced, but lived; a shared responsibility that protects what matters most.
