Now more than ever, security has to be top of mind for IT and security teams. Cybercrime is up 600% due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and remote work has increased the average cost of a data breach by $137,000. IT teams need to make sure every piece of their tech stack helps support their security needs. And that starts with the browser, a key component of end user productivity. Hear from the Chrome team on how to improve your security posture with Chrome. 

Hacking is a business opportunity and “business is good.”  Cybersecurity is everywhere, so how do the hackers continue being successful?  It’s because hackers have evolved into a full-time industry – one with supply chains, processes, and goals. In this session, we’ll stop thinking like defenders and put on our hacker hats. We will spend some time learning about the hacking “industry” and an unlikely source to help build your defenses.

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.

Security operations have, like so many things in the security industry, moved into what many consider to be a commoditized, outsourced model in order to combat cost, staffing shortages, and an increased focus on business-driven functions by internal security teams.  That said, the basics of content, capability, and prioritized response still matter, but communicating and operating around those topics with partners can be incredibly difficult.  Without them, any outsourced programs become one-size-fits-all approaches of dubious value. 

In this discussion, we will review the five pillars of crucial capabilities that organizations should pursue to drive differentiation while improving security operations   

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 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.

Cybersecurity can be a complex operation, but at its core, it’s made up of two components: people and technology. Although we’ve seen incredible advances in the technology side of things, we need to ensure that that technology acquisition doesn’t amount to another ‘shiny thing’ but empowers the people that operate it. Join Lumu’s Jeffrey Wheat as he shares his vision of what makes up an ideal cybersecurity operation.

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.

As we settle into life with COVID, the topic of zero trust security and a remote workforce is top of mind for all enterprise security teams. During this session you’ll hear from security practitioners who were responsible for the zero trust strategy and implementation at two Fortune 500 global enterprises – Adobe & Cisco. They will share their experiences and tips for rolling out zero trust methodologies at scale.
