Legacy SOAR (Security Orchestration, Automation and Response) technology promised to revolutionize the practice of security operations. Unfortunately, the first generation of these platforms have gained a reputation for rigid playbooks that require extensive development resources, poor case management features, and limited use cases. That’s why Swimlane developed a more modern and extensible approach to security automation.

Cyber attackers are constantly evolving their tactics and techniques, making it crucial for organizations to adopt a proactive and adaptive approach to cybersecurity. In this presentation, we’ll draw from Secureworks’ recent incident response engagements and provide real-life stories to illustrate the need for a more comprehensive cybersecurity strategy. We’ll discuss the limitations of relying solely on endpoint detection and response (EDR), and provide practical strategies for moving beyond the endpoints to protect against threats originating from anywhere in the IT stack. Join us to learn how to improve your cybersecurity posture, implement effective security measures, and foster a culture of trust with your security partners.

“Pay Up, or Else”. The number of organizations who have been faced with this scenario has been steadily increasing over the past several years as ransomware attacks continue to rise — both in numbers and the size of payouts.

The clear and present danger of a ransomware attack looms large among cyber executives and business leaders as the number of vulnerabilities increases daily. According to a 2022 CRA Business Intelligence survey, nearly one in four respondents reported that their organization experienced one or more ransomware attacks in the past 12 months, and almost one out of three of these organizations said the attacker succeeded in gaining access to their systems, encrypting files, and demanding a ransom

According to this survey, many believe that the worst is yet to come and that they are at a significantly higher risk of a cyberattack than ever before – it’s not a matter of “if,” but “when.”

Preparing for the inevitable and defending against the threat of a ransomware attack requires constant evaluation and assessment, and then making the necessary adjustments.

On this panel, our lineup of industry experts will discuss the key security measures enterprises must take, going beyond backup and recovery and anti-malware/anti-virus solutions to include endpoint security, vulnerability management, Active Directory monitoring, credential protection, DNS security tools, SIEM, DLP and encryption, and cloud security software.

In the face of skyrocketing cyber risk, detecting and responding to attacks is no longer enough. Organizations must take proactive steps to prevent threats before they happen, and to recover if compromised. In this session, Darktrace unveil an ambitious new approach to security, with core engines powering AI technologies to prevent, detect, respond, and ultimately heal from attacks across all areas of their digital environment. Together, these engines combine to strengthen organizations’ security posture in a virtuous AI feedback ‘loop,’ which provides powerful end-to-end, bespoke, and self-learning solutions unique to each organization.

The Cyber Security landscape is overflowing with vendors making it very difficult for practitioners to determine what solutions and vendors can actually positively impact organizational risk while reducing complexity and maximizing resource management. Extrahop will discuss how to identify market shifts and offer a roadmap to be ahead of the technology curve in determining what vendors and technology to evaluate.

Use of the cloud is continuously growing, not surprisingly so due to its perceived lower costs, greater agility, and ability to increase computing power with increased demand & continuously deploy new applications and software features.

Despite the appeal of cloud, there are many security risks and vulnerabilities and managing these risks has proven to be a big challenge as cyber criminals shift their tactics to cloud data and systems in responses to this increased use of the cloud. According to a CRA Business Intelligence’s September 2022 Cloud Security Survey, misconfigurations, lack of oversight, and little visibility across the organization are among their chief concerns regarding cloud deployments.

If organizations are going to successfully adopt/transition to the cloud, they must ensure security is part of their program. An effective cloud security program includes various process and technology capabilities to effectively keep up with the current threat landscape and vulnerabilities.

In today’s increasingly interconnected world, cyber attacks on OT networks and Industrial Control Systems (ICS) are on the rise, resulting in significant damage to critical assets and infrastructure. This trend has underscored the urgent need for innovative approaches to OT security. One such approach is the adoption of Zero Trust firewalls, which deliver the safe operations and compliance that OT engineers need. Join Mike Wagner, Airgap senior SE, as we explore the latest best practices in cyber architectures specifically designed for OT networks. We will also discuss how these fast, scalable approaches are being embraced by IT teams to secure their networks, mitigate cyber risks, and protect their critical assets.

Despite having distinct differences, data privacy and compliance are deeply intertwined with cyber security. As focus on data privacy and compliance increases, business leaders can expect to see vast changes related to how consumer data is managed, shared, and secured. Policy & laws on data privacy and compliance continue to expand and become increasingly stringent, so it is important for companies and their respective business leaders to consider these areas as they develop & evaluate their cyber security strategies. For instance, last year the SEC proposed amendments to its rules on cyber security, risk management, strategy, governance, and incident disclosure by public companies.

At a more granular level, there are various initiatives to protect specific consumer data and ensure enterprises are compliant in doing so – particularly health data and children’s personal information. The American Data Privacy and Protection Act (ADPPA) if passed could greatly impact health data beyond the scope of HIPAA by establishing a national framework to protect & preserve the privacy of consumer data collected by entities not covered by HIPAA. In an American Medical Association survey, about 75% of surveyed patients expressed concern and confusion related to the privacy of their health data and how it is handled. The ADPPA could help clear up some of this confusion by establishing clear expectations. Another critical area is the collection of personal information of children. The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) helps put parents in control of how their children’s data is handled and ensures that all entities in possession of this data sustain its confidentiality, security, and integrity.

Maintaining strong data privacy and compliance practices is imperative in preventing sensitive personal data from becoming compromised. This information is extremely valuable to cyber criminals, who seek to utilize compromised data to steal others’ identities or resell such PII.

This panel will look at the latest data privacy policies and implications for what this means for business leaders in the future. Our lineup of experts will lend their insights and offer best practices relating to privacy, compliance, and identity protection.
