Threat management programs aiming to establish visibility, detection, investigation and response are becoming more complex as infrastructure and workforces expand and adapt. This not only makes threat management more challenging, but can also dramatically increase our exposure to attack. So how can we do a better job of proactively understanding and reducing the risks and exposures associated with this disparate environment, while simultaneously significantly reducing the stress on our threat management systems and teams?

Join us to hear what we have learned from thousands of engagements in this developing field, which we are referring to as Exposure Management. This approach has the goal helping organizations reduce risk and inefficiencies and get the most out of the tools, processes and people that they have. All while enabling the business to evolve and thrive.

Cloud innovations continue to drive the rapid adoption of cloud services, which offer numerous advantages such as increased flexibility, better scalability, cost savings, higher productivity, and resiliency. However, challenges in migrating to the cloud and protecting the cloud environment cause concern for many organizations. According to research done by Cybersecurity Insiders in partnership with (ISC)², 72% of organizations said they feel either not at all confident (8%), slightly confident (12%), or moderately confident (52%) in their cloud security posture, expressing concerns over data loss & leakage, data privacy, compliance, and unauthorized access. Lack of qualified staff / knowledge and visibility of security platforms continue to be the biggest threats facing cloud security, with misconfigurations accounting for the majority of cloud data breaches.

This panel will highlight the benefits of migrating to the cloud and examine the pros & cons of the various cloud models. Our lineup of Subject Matter Experts will discuss the risks facing security teams as they adopt cloud services, offer recommendations to minimize these risks, and provide insight on best practices to secure the cloud.

The connections and dependencies between organizations and their employees, partners, suppliers and customers, creates significant opportunities for risk blind spots. Faced with supply chain disruptions and increasing cyber threats, businesses are re-assessing how they select, evaluate and monitor their third party relationships and the risk they introduce. According to a recent study by KPMG, third-party risk management is a strategic priority for 85 percent of businesses.

How you identify and manage the risks of working with third parties is critical because your compliance, revenue, and company reputation are dependent on all parties fulfilling their contractual, security and privacy obligations. Yet, traditional approaches are inadequate and gaining the right visibility to effectively manage risk is increasingly challenging.

Join Reciprocity experts as we share and discuss with you:

• Why third-party relationships introduce high risk to your organization    
• Key considerations to better identify, manage and mitigate third party risk
• How cybersecurity risk ratings can complement your risk mitigation efforts

You will leave this session with a clear understanding of steps you can take to better avoid, manage and mitigate third party risk to protect your operations, reputation and revenue.

As cyber incidents increase in both frequency and complexity, it’s clear that #CyberIsTheNewDisaster. In response, organizations are transforming from a posture of cybersecurity into one of cyber resilience – balancing the cybersecurity teams’ traditionally defensive strategies with the native disciplines & skills used by the data protection & business continuity environment.

This session provides insight into:

• The context of cyber risks in the industry today
• Establishing best practices for data protection
• The concept of an ISOLATED cyber recovery vault as part of a cyber resiliency strategy
• Key benefits of the PowerProtect Cyber Recovery solution
• How analytics and machine learning provides an additional layer of detection that improves threat detection and recoverability
• Typical customer outcomes, in terms of pre- and post-implementation ‘risk profiles’

As new models of ransomware emerge and attacks become more frequent as they prove successful to bad actors, it’s imperative for business leaders to reexamine their approach to cyber security to more effectively combat threats and minimize damage in the event of a ransomware attack. For many companies today, that means foregoing the traditional “trust but verify” perimeter-based security and implementing Zero Trust framework built on the principle of “never trust, always verify”. Through its capability to isolate users and machines, Zero Trust can in the event of an attack limit it from spreading while still maintaining running operations, making it a popular security strategy. In fact, last year in his Executive Order on Improving the Nation’s Cybersecurity, the President of the U.S. recommended the Federal Government adopt Zero Trust architecture.

This panel will look at how ransomware attacks and bad actors have evolved to become more successful. Should companies pay hackers to get their data back or will that backfire? Our lineup of Subject Matter Experts will contrast traditional perimeter-based security with Zero Trust and offer their insight on how adopting strategies and policies that can help companies stay resilient as ransomware threats continue to grow.

There’s a very good reason Russia has not deployed their latest cyber weapons against Ukraine. They’re saving them for the United States in what may be the beginning of a modern cold war played out in cyberspace. NATO has declared cyber to be an operational domain, and subject to Article 5 in case of a ‘massive’ cyber attack. But what does ‘massive’ mean? Russia will play the fringes in the gray space of policy to conduct low-intensity warfare, using their tools and tactics refined against adversaries like Ukraine. The result? Unrestricted warfare against our critical infrastructure, espionage operations targeting the software supply chain, and new cyberweapons.

As we adapt to the new normal in wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, some businesses have returned to the office while many continue to work from home or are shifting to a hybrid workforce. Regardless of where your team is in today’s flexible work culture, it’s important to make sure your data is secure.

This panel will discuss the various factors that contribute to the increase in threats facing the remote and hybrid workforce and the solutions needed to stay secure. Our lineup of Industry Experts will offer their insight & explore best-practices on how businesses and their IT Security Teams should address risks such as ransomware, insider threat, phishing, unsecured devices and lack of training.

Ransomware has made its mark in cybersecurity since the first reported case of an attack in 1989 that targeted Healthcare.

As time has progressed, we have seen an evolution in the quality of ransomware code, delivery mechanisms, and extortion methods.

History has a way of teaching us ways to look at things differently, and becoming antifragile is an approach to acknowledge the chaos from ransomware and grow stronger.
