Recent threat research proves that attackers are outpacing traditional cyber approaches – and that leveraging AI can dramatically impact these dynamics.  At the same time, AI introduces novel security challenges, including adversarial attacks and model vulnerabilities.   This session will describe specific AI-based approaches that are substantially improving defenses, along with best practices for for securing the data, the model, the usage and the infrastructure. Also, a glimpse into the future of how generative AI can be leveraged to improve cybersecurity will be discussed.

On July 26, 2023, the SEC adopted rules requiring registrants to disclose their cybersecurity risk management strategy and governance, as well as the material impact of cybersecurity incidents. This reflects a larger trend globally of regulators requiring more accountability for incident readiness and response, IRR. As security leaders are increasingly under scrutiny, what proactive measures should they be considering for risk mitigation and incident preparedness? And, how are security leaders planning for incident response to ensure they are containing and eradicating the threat, recovering affected systems, and learning from the incident to improve future security posture? Join this session for new data from a survey of 500 security leaders that sheds light on what they are prioritizing for IRR today and planning for tomorrow. 

As organizations deal with the proliferation of sensitive data, they must be cognizant of the type, classification and location of sensitive data within their environment, while automatically detecting and remediating the risk of data exposure and exfiltration. In this session, we will review a comprehensive approach to strengthening organizational data security posture, and tenets for a sound AI implementation. Ensure you know what sensitive data you are protecting and proactively manage its lifecycle to remediate the risk of data exposure as part of your zero trust journey.

Cloud computing solves many problems like flexibility, cost-efficiency & scalability, so it’s no surprise that use of the cloud is consistently growing. 

That said, it also means organizations step into unknown areas where gaps are easy to miss and hackers are quick to exploit. 

Today we will discuss all things cloud so you know what works best for your organization.

Our experts will look at hybrid and multi-cloud environments, adopting the concept of cybersecurity mesh & Zero Trust, the Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) framework, cloud-native tools & platforms, as well as why the future of network security is in the Cloud. 

Adversaries are successful today due to a variety of unmanaged risks within the vast and complicated business’s infrastructure that has caused an increase of their attack surfaces. Cybersecurity is evolving to address these challenges and shifting towards a more risk-based platform approach that gives CISO’s and business leaders a more manageable approach to reduce their attack surface, improve their visibility, and build resilience into their business operations. In this session we will dive into this cyber risk approach, sharing a cybersecurity compass that helps you navigate your business before, during and after a breach.

In this presentation, we will delve into the fascinating world of artificial intelligence (AI). Join me as we explore AI, examine its historical development, and current applications, and discuss the potential impact and ethical considerations of AI in the future.

Artificial intelligence has come a long way since its early beginnings. From the first AI programs in the 1950s to the development of expert systems in the 1980s, we will explore the breakthroughs that have shaped the field of AI. Discover how these advancements laid the foundation for the sophisticated AI technologies we use today. Hear how Check Point is, and has been, leveraging AI and the new tools we are developing to fight fire with fire.

AI technologies such as machine learning, natural language processing, and computer vision are constantly evolving. Learn about where to find the latest breakthroughs in AI research and development, including deep learning algorithms, neural networks, and robotics. These cutting-edge innovations in AI are changing the way we live and work.

The history of AI, the current state of the technology, and the potential future impact are all evidence of the incredible journey we are on. Join me for this fun, informative presentation.

What are the biggest threats to your business? What’s changing in the current threat landscape that you need to know about? Is ransomware still the biggest threat or is AI taking the spotlight?

On this panel our lineup of industry experts will discuss the most dangerous and emerging threats to your organization as well as the solutions that go beyond anti-malware/anti-virus to include endpoint security, vulnerability management, Active Directory monitoring, credential protection, DNS security tools, SIEM, DLP and encryption.

With the shift to distributed working models, SaaS application sprawl, and a rapidly evolving IT environment, it’s no surprise that organizations are now more susceptible to cyber attacks and threat actors. In the last year, 90% of organizations experienced an identity-related breach. Identity security has emerged as the new perimeter in the constantly changing world of cybersecurity. But barriers to strong identity security practices are often outdated tools, limited access to technical talent, a lack of executive sponsorship, or a constrained budget.

In this session, we will cover:

· How to develop a compelling strategy and get executive board buy-in

· How breaking down enterprise silos and aligning to the overall business strategy create a more resilient identity security program

· How AI/ML can improve your identity security posture to adapt to changing environments, boost IT productivity, and stay ahead of security issues across the enterprise

· Key considerations needed to make well-informed, risk-based decisions about provisioning, verifying, and deprovisioning access to non-employees and managing access to unstructured data

In today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape, organizations are struggling with diverse methods of interaction with employees, customers, and partners through a multitude of technologies. This complexity often leads to a lack of control over Identity and Access Management (IAM), leaving organizations vulnerable to security threats and compliance issues. The cost of ignoring the risk can haunt you for years however, you cannot correct what you don’t know, so the first steps are assessing whether your organization is positioned for a successful implementation, migration or fix and, validating the organization is focused on the right path and/or issue they are looking to mitigate. Join us as we demonstrate a proven, 3 stage, IAM Strategic Assessment model that is NIST compliance driven answering the “what, where, when, why and how” surrounding both Workforce Identity & Access Management and Customer Identity & Access Management (CIAM) programs, projects and operations.

When looking at how to best protect your business, cybersecurity readiness should be top priority, but what is it?

Cybersecurity readiness is the ability to identify, prevent, and respond to cyber threats. Can proper data governance, risk management (including managing 3rd party risk and supply chain risk) and compliance provide a framework to always being ready?

Let’s discuss GRC & the best steps to take when quantifying cyber risk, developing your incident response plan, creating a data security policy & more.

Traditional security measures can be cumbersome and limit user adoption. In this session we will explore how adaptive access controls provide robust security without sacrificing smooth user experience. We will also learn how organizations can avoid making the difficult choice of selecting between Security vs Convenience by leveraging AI in their Zero Trust strategy.
