New strains of ransomware are leaving organizations vulnerable – too often, security teams lack the ability to respond proportionately to an attack, leading to cyber disruption across the organization.  

Join Brianna Leddy, Darktrace’s Director of Analysis, as she unpacks some of today’s most advanced ransomware threats. Learn how Self-Learning AI understands the organization to reveal every stage of a ransomware attack – and takes targeted, autonomous action to stop the threat in its tracks.  

This presentation will discuss: 

• Recent ransomware threat trends, including double extortion and RDP attacks 
• How Autonomous Response takes action to contain an emerging attack, even when security teams are out of office  
• Real-world examples of ransomware detected by Darktrace AI – including a zero-day and an attack initiated on Christmas Day

Nothing in security ever stays still, and Zero Trust is no different.  While many organizations have begun their journey to zero trust, the elements and opportunities are changing.  In this session, we’ll review where zero trust is today, where it is going tomorrow, and how to plan for the zero trust of the future.

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.

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:

• Why attackers know what to look for to exploit AD
• What areas of AD need immediate attention
• How to gather the information from AD to analyze it
• What steps you can take to secure AD today and moving forward

 5G is already transforming how businesses operate, from enabling more efficient automation to enhancing product innovation.  As business leaders and IT managers evaluate the competitive possibilities of 5G, what do security leaders need to know about this emerging technology? This talk offers some ideas on where to start understanding how security changes in a 5G world.

What are the top security challenges companies experience when migrating, developing and running applications in the public cloud? Our session will review this along with Gartner’s defense-in-depth model for developing a secure cloud architecture.

According to Gartner, through 2025:

• 99% of cloud security failures will be human error (misconfigurations being most common).
• 90% of organizations that fail to control public cloud use will inadvertently leak sensitive data.

If you don’t want to be part of these predictions, join us for our presentation. We will help you gain an understanding of best practices for implementing a comprehensive cloud security posture management program and a proven methodology to get there.

• 1.5 secs: Ransomware begins to spread, infect, and encrypt
•  3 secs: Malware has control and elevated privileges
•  1 minute: Avg time to detect unknown malware

We will examine the approaches to prevent and detect threats with AI, ML, and DL, and dive into how deep learning (DL) provides greater speed and accuracy to stop malware faster than ML. Learn more on the chronology of an unknown attack and why 20ms is the difference between security and a breach.

What is XDR, how is it different, and can it actually stop today’s malicious operations? In this special session, Teall Rist, Cybereason Security Engineer will share insights on the latest attacks organizations face, top security operations challenges, and why XDR delivers on the most important metric: Time.
Learn how adversaries have adapted to today’s IT & security stack, as well as key integration points for threat detection and incident response. Includes a look at Cybereason XDR powered by Google Chronicle.

Between limited cyber security talent and the sheer amount of data that cyber security teams are responsible for managing, AI & Machine Learning have become vital tools that many businesses have implemented as part of their cyber security plan. Tasks previously done manually by employees can be automated & accomplished without any time constraints, analysis of data amounting far beyond human capability can be done in a matter of seconds, and patterns that may have been missed previously or taken much longer to find can be identified quickly and accurately. This is invaluable in helping detect & respond to attacks, especially as threats continuously change and new threats regularly appear. Offering so many benefits, AI is commonly the first line of defense against cyber attacks.

With its many benefits come certain implications as Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning continue to become more advanced. What will happen when Artificial Intelligence surpasses that of human intelligence? How are cybercriminals already adapting AL and ML to use for malicious means?

This panel of experts will discuss how AI and Machine Learning can be implemented to predict and combat cybercrime along with its increasing detriments and affects on employment, in addition to these tools advancing beyond human control.

Modern ransomware is not like ransomware of the past. In fact, it’s not even ransomware until it’s too late to prevent significant business impact. The good news is that seeing ransomware before it starts IS both possible and your best line of defense. Please join me as I share how ransomware has changed, how to see it before it starts, and what I predict ransomware will exploit next.

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.
