You are invited to a joint meeting for Life Members from three Life Member Affinity Groups in Region 4. The purpose will be to discuss your wants and needs regarding activities and programs you would like to see offered by your local Life Members Affinity Group (LMAG) or the Region 4 Life Members Group (R4LMG). A short slide show explaining the status of the Life Member program as well as some suggestions for LMAG activities and programs. This will also be an opportunity to provide input to your LMAG Chair and to hear the wants and needs of other Life Members in Region 4. Please register for this event which will be scheduled for Friday, December 5, 2pm – 3pm central time, 3pm – 4pm eastern time. An additional hour will be made available for those that may want to continue the discussion.

We are pleased to present a timely and forward-looking discussion on one of the most pressing challenges in healthcare cybersecurity. As quantum computing advances, traditional cryptographic systems — including RSA and ECC — could be rendered vulnerable. In a domain where patient data confidentiality and the reliability of medical devices are critical, preparing for technological improvement is necessary. This session by Herat Joshi and Shenson Joseph will explore the evolving quantum threat landscape for healthcare IT infrastructures, including EHR systems and network-connected medical devices. They will also highlight the latest NIST post-quantum cryptography initiatives and provide actionable guidance to help organizations evaluate their current cryptographic posture and develop a strategic path toward quantum-resilient security. We expect that attendees will come away with concrete insights to be prepared for the emerging post-quantum era.

Join us for an insightful tech talk with Arman Ansari, IT Security Advisor at Tribhuvan University, Nepal. In this session, Arman will share field-tested practices for reducing risk across industries, using real incident case studies of XSS, IDOR, and SQL Injection to show how attacks unfold and how they can be prevented. He will connect these lessons to the OWASP security fundamentals, and the human factor, while highlighting practical defenses such as MFA, least privilege, secure defaults, secrets handling, and more. Arman will also introduce Defense by Offence and provide attendees with actionable checklists and a clear roadmap for improving security.

This virtual meeting can accommodate up to 100 attendees. While military systems in general have to operate in tough electromagnetic environments, missile programs require special attention and considerations from an EMI/EMC perspective. From environments to requirements to best practices, this presentation will discuss key focuses of EMI/EMC engineering in relation to missile programs and systems and how best to achieve success.
