PANEL 1: Protecting the Enterprise from the Growing Risk of Security Breaches as it Relates to the Internet of Things

The ubiquitous fear of securely managing an exponentially increasing number of connected, automated devices that communicate over the internet is quickly making its way to the forefront of business leaders minds from right on the factory floor to financial institutions, hospital mainframes, right down to the residential kitchen with a smart refrigerator.

According to updated market research forecasts the installed base of active wireless connected devices will reach nearly 6.5 billion in 2016, up 30% from 2015. This number of devices is expected to increase to an estimated forecast of 40 billion devices by 2020.

In todays discussion we will be taking a look at how to improve IOT security for a better connected future in this constantly growing threat landscape of organized cyber criminals.

PANEL 2: The Growing Cyber Threats to Big Data Analytics & Cloud Security

The vastly growing reliance on Big Data and the Cloud has increased enterprise productivity by allowing for more informed plans and decisions, newly discovered opportunities for optimization, as well as the delivery of breakthrough innovations across nearly every major industry. The benefits of Big Data along with the utilization of the Cloud are invaluable and therefore are a growing target for cyber criminals. The nature of the assets are boundless and range from personal data, payment information, intellectual property, health records, accessing critical infrastructure networks & beyond.

Networking Lunch

Cyber Lunch Briefing - Organizational Threat Models – Addressing the Cyber Risk Dilemma

Contextualizing risk is critical to remediating it.  Risk centric threat models simulate real world attacks in order to identify viable attack patterns affecting a company’s technology footprint, operational processes, vendor relationships, data types, and even regulatory obligations. These variables and more help to contextualize the risk that really matters for organizations today and connects the otherwise disparate dots amongst security efforts commonly isolated in today’s enterprises.
