Probably one of the most used phrases in Security, it has as many definitions as there are vendors touting it. In our view, Zero Trust is about a change in the way enterprises think about their Security, and technology is often the last piece of this puzzle. It is a framework to be followed that helps prepare you for the present and future of business–not a point-in-time silver bullet but a map to effective, dynamic, continuous security. In this session, we will look beyond the Zero Trust hype to actual use cases of enterprises solving their business needs.

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.

While it’s clear that the endpoint is the key cybersecurity battleground, there’s plenty of debate on how best to approach the problem. Minimizing the number of endpoint agents is an obvious approach.  To that end, this talk will describe the broad list of risk management benefits of hardware-assisted isolation technology, as seen in actual deployments of the Bromium-developed hypervisor. 

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.

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.

It’s no longer a matter or if, but when, you’re going to be the victim of a ransomware attack. Are you prepared? Learn from Securework’s Tony Kirtley, Director of Incident Command, how to prepare for an attack, but more importantly what to do immediately following with tales from the trenches.

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.

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.

Companies, Government Agencies, Education, and other businesses all use the Cloud. But as the total increase in cybersecurity threats increase, are we utilizing the best possible tools to protect our predominately Cloud environments from intrusion? Join us as we have a discussion about the Cloud, and why Cloud Application Security is an important and often overlooked tool for keeping our data and our users safe.

While some things are difficult to predict, that is not the case with Ransomware, where attacks have been and continue to be accurately predicted to increase significantly in volume and severity. Last year we saw ransomware attacks on water treatment facilities, oil pipelines, and food distributors make national news. According to the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center, from January to July of 2021 there was a 62% increase in ransomware complaints from year to year.

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. The other vector worth considering is the trusted application vector. If the applications on your perimeter allow attackers in via trojan or remote code execution, then you will be compromised, trust or no trust.

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, Zero Trust and traditional AppSec and offer their insight on how adopting strategies and policies that can help companies stay resilient as ransomware threats continue to grow.

Learn how leading organizations are adjusting their application security practices in response to new vulnerabilities, threats and volumetric DDoS attacks.
