With the rise of social media and digital devices, people face an ever- increasing risk of hackers, cyber predators, and manipulation. Tyler reveals how anything you and your children post is permanent and can be used against you.
She explains how recruiters and other organizations piece together your social media postings to create a profile of you, emphasizing that once you know their methodologies, you can make the system work to your advantage. “You can easily put together a target. You can really understand a person based on their social media presence,” Tyler comments on the good aspect of this for businesses. “But the bad news is that they can do that to you. The good news is that once you understand how to control it you can make it appear how you want it to appear.”
Tyler Cohen Wood speaks on the consequences your online persona could have on your career. She details that recruiters not only examine the superficial content of what you’ve posted, but your habits and purpose behind posting.
She surveys various stereotypes of posters that recruiters often group potential job candidates under, including the one-upper, who tries to outdo the posts of others. “It can seem innocuous,” she comments, “but remember when you’re putting these puzzle pieces together the perception a recruiter’s going to have is this person probably isn’t going to work well in a team and may have authority issues.”
A well-known authority for her work with digital forensics and Cyber Intelligence, Tyler Cohen Wood has presented at conferences across the country. She demystifies the cyber world, illustrating with clear entertaining examples how virtual activity can make an erasable impact on real life.
Tyler’s presentations focus on how businesses can prevent hacking and cyber crime in order to avoid unresolvable damages.

Redefining Cyber Security by Employing a New Paradigm
The threat of cybersecurity breaches has never been greater, and despite our best efforts, we are losing the battle and will continue to in the future unless we make critical and fundamental shifts to our paradigm. Cybersecurity leaders agree that the field has become one in which we find ourselves in a constant reactive loop, where we’re putting out fires without truly identifying underlying problems. Without addressing the problems, how can we even begin to address the solutions?

The Future of Healthcare: Connected and Intelligent
There are two types of people in this world—those who are happy with the healthcare system and anyone who has ever needed to use the healthcare system. For many, the current model of healthcare is frustrating and, at its worst, negligent. People with chronic illnesses or rare diseases are hit especially hard by the gaps in our system.
Tyler Cohen Wood spent her entire career in cybersecurity working with data and understanding the significance of the cyber world in our reality. She used her tech background to develop her idea for a better healthcare system into MyConnectedHealth (MCH), an A.I.-driven view of medicine. How do we know it works? Tyler is proof of the concept herself. By using this innovative strategy, Tyler was able to diagnose herself (confirmed by physicians) with her rare disease—so rare only 300,000 people in the United States have it. Just the mere concept of MCH surpassed the medical system that had failed her for years in a matter of minutes.

The New and Improved Big Data Analytics: Good Enough to Solve a Murder?
There’s been a murder! After detailed forensic data collection, law enforcement officials begin to piece together the facts. They parse through physical data, social media, digitally collected data from witnesses and suspects and other open-source intelligence (OSINT) to attempt to piece together the “who done it and why”.
We know that social media, digital devices, and apps we rely on collect information on us. But do we know exactly what that means or just how comprehensive and intimate that data is? Most terms of service will tell you exactly what is collected and that apps have the right to distribute collected content to third parties, usually to make your service better. What isn’t said is how the data is put together, the impact that it can have at the personal, company and national security levels and what form future collection techniques might take.
This presentation will show just how vast the scope of information collection is now and how it will be in the future. We’ll also demonstrate how, when pieced together in the right order, data can even solve a seemingly unsolvable crime.

Tyler gave a great presentation! It was well-received by our attendees and her stage presence was dynamic. Prior to the presentation, she spent some time getting to know our organization and attendees so she could craft her presentation to complement our industry and type of attendees. It makes a big difference when a speaker puts a lot of time and effort into his/her presentation to make it unique and relevant to the audience rather than pulling one of the canned presentation. We are still getting great feedback from our attendees! Thank you, Tyler! – ASSOCIATION OF GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTANTS
