To secure connected products, developers and manufacturers must use tools and processes that are purpose built to analyze the complex binaries found within connected devices and embedded systems. Beyond the capabilities of traditional security tooling, dedicated product security (software supply chain security) tools must run in the specialized languages, systems, and deployment cycles for these connected devices. In this talk hosted by Finite State's Jason Ortiz, we will examine where traditional security falls short in analyzing the composition of a device, detecting its vulnerabilities, assessing the severity of those vulnerabilities, prioritizing and conducting response actions. In this session, you will learn how traditional tools can't always see the opaque threats that live inside connected devices, explore Software Bill of Materials (SBOMs) and how to generate them, and discover how to build a product security strategy that leads to more secure products and software supply chains. About the speaker: Jason Ortiz is Engineering Manager at Finite State and has over 10 years of experience in the US Intel Community and more than five years in commercial cyber security services. In his role, Jason leads the team that develops necessary interfaces between the Finite State Platform and data for use by customers and partners in their business context. Jason is also President of the Indiana InfraGard Members Alliance, a partnership between the FBI and the private sector that facilitates public-private collaboration and information sharing, and a proud Boiler alum!

Jason Ortiz is the Executive Director of Students For Sensible Drug Policy, an organization dedicated to framing a people-first approach to drug policy.

#7 Jason Ortiz of Minority Cannabis Business Associationtalks regulation and legislature

This week’s regulatory compliance updates are from April 16th to April 22nd and contain information for Arkansas, California, Colorado, Georgia, Maine, Michigan, Missouri, Oregon, and Washington dispensaries. In Federal news, the​ ​U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services​ issued a memo saying that using marijuana or working in the cannabis industry, even if it is legal under state law, makes immigrants ineligible for citizenship because it means they don’t have “good moral character.” The memo says that “violation of federal controlled substance law, including for marijuana, established by a conviction or admission, is generally a bar to establishing good moral character for naturalization even where the conduct would not be a violation of state law.” Proposals such as the STATES act do not address these deeper issues related to federal prohibition. “Considering the devastating effects our war on drugs had on Latin America, immigration reform must be a necessary component of any comprehensive cannabis legalization policy,” stated Jason Ortiz, vice president of the ​Minority Cannabis Business Association​.
