Mr. Gareth Webley, Chief Security Officer, National City Bank
“Geeks and Guns: Bringing together Information Technology Protection (IP) and Physical Security under one umbrella.”
CSO Gareth Webley of National City Corporation will share an inside look of NCC’s security convergence, bringing the “geeks and guns together” for a more sophisticated and effective security team to protect our customers, employees and LOBs from not only physical harm but also electronic assaults. From the creation of a converged security command center that will be in operation 24/7 to the general benefits of merged risk assessments throughout the Physical Security and IT families.
CSO Webley will explain the goal of services that are commonly delivered, such as administration, security engineering, and risk assessment that can be done with a single team that delivers cross-functional risk assessments for the corporation and also complies with SOX regulations.
CSO Webley will also highlight some of the successes and mistakes managing a combined physical/IT security operation on a daily basis; and how to bridge the communication gap with the “geeks” in the IT department and the “guns” in physical security.

SAC Conrad “Smokey” Everett, United States Secret Service,
Special Agent in Charge, Cleveland Field Office (44 counties, No. Ohio)
Smokey started his career with the United States Secret Service in 1985 in the Philadelphia Field Office. His current position as Special Agent in Charge of the Cleveland Field Office is his 11th assignment in a 22 year career. He oversees all Secret Service operations in the northern 44 counties of Ohio and has Resident Offices in Akron and Toledo.
Smokey fully supports pro-active liaison between law enforcement and private security entities to help ensure the safety of our nation.
He is married and has three children.
Topic: National Threat Assessment Center (NTAC): How it Works
The Secret Service National Threat Assessment Center (NTAC) was created to provide leadership and guidance to the emerging field of threat assessment. Specifically, NTAC will offer timely, realistic, useful, and effective advice to law enforcement and other professionals and organizations with responsibilities to investigate and/or prevent targeted violence.
Building on a recent operational study of U.S. assassins, attackers, and near-lethal approachers of public officials, NTAC will develop and provide threat assessment training and conduct operational research relevant to public official, workplace, stalking/domestic, and school-based violence. In addition, NTAC will offer its assistance to organizations interested in developing threat assessment programs.
Programs
Second Topic, time permitting: Insider Threat Study
In collaboration with CERT/CC of Carnegie Mellon University, the Secret Service is developing the Critical Systems Protection Initiative (CSPI). The goal of this program is to develop a refined cyber security prevention and response capability in support of both investigative and protective missions. One important component of the CSPI is the Insider Threat Study, which will analyze the physical and online behavior of insiders prior to and during network compromises. The insider who already has access to systems can potentially be the most dangerous. The U.S. Secret Service foresees the applicability of this program in assisting private industry to evaluate and manage a potential problem before it happens.
