Attacks on Active Directory will continue in 2022, maybe with even more vigor. Now is the time to dig into your AD environment and secure it to withstand these attacks. This means that you must dig deep and wide, to harden AD for even the most advanced attacks. Derek will guide you through what needs to be done immediately, so you can leave this session and get started securing AD. Attackers know what to enumerate AD and what to look for, so Derek will show you exactly what needs to be done ASAP! In this session you will learn:

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.

Have you ever felt like managing your organization’s information security program is like one of the iconic “Choose Your Own Adventure” books?  Choose one path, your ecosystem gets hit with ransomware, choose another technology becomes shelfware, choose another path and you get promoted to CISO.

Security is both hard and scary.  Practitioners and leaders across the globe lose sleep every night wondering if they have made the right choices for their security program.  Why is technology failing us?  We have become increasingly reliant on technology, and for many immature organizations, it can add complexity, rather than solve for it.

This presentation will help viewers understand the need for a “back to the basics” approach, with emphasis on how repeatable, tested, and scalable processes are needed to ensure the success of automation that can demonstrate true ROI to an organization.

Together we can choose the adventure that ensures the Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability of our organization’s ecosystem!

In this presentation, Director, Solutions Architecture, Alisa Moretto, will provide her insights from various use cases of the following points:

• How communication could be at the root of your failed launches
• How evaluating risk before and after SOAR can help prevent future failures
• How to avoid “shiny object syndrome”
• How to demonstrate your organization’s SOAR ROI

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 latest Malwarebytes threat research reveals how hackers breach hybrid workforces and perpetrate ransomware attacks every 11 seconds, using a combo attack of phishing, brute force attacks, and vulnerability exploits. In this presentation, our Head of Malwarebytes Labs details the latest attack vectors and trends, shares how to survive the hackers and threats, while also addressing employees’ “fear fatigue.”

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.
