As security practitioners, we’re always trying to find ways to get ahead of attackers and mitigate threats before they wreak havoc in our environments. But, traditional defense-in-depth strategies rely more on reactive controls to build walls that we hope will stop attacks from being successful. However, time and again, we see news headlines proving how often and how easily these reactive approaches are defeated.

Today’s attack surface requires a different approach, focusing on preventative risk mitigation strategies that give more visibility, more context and a better mechanism to tie technical risk to business context. While reactive controls are still necessary, the more we can identify areas of risk before the attackers do and close the gaps in our defenses, the fewer attacks will take place and the more effective those reactive controls will be.

Preventative security strategies are driven by making better decisions about how, when and where to mitigate risks. In this talk, we’ll review techniques to implement within your security program that will give a better understanding of the technical and business risk across your attack surface, how to identify the areas to focus on first and ways to drive a more meaningful approach to mitigating risks before cyberattacks exploit your weaknesses.

Use of the cloud is continuously growing, not surprisingly so due to its perceived lower costs, greater agility, and ability to increase computing power with increased demand & continuously deploy new applications and software features.

Despite the appeal of cloud, there are many security risks and vulnerabilities and managing these risks has proven to be a big challenge as cyber criminals shift their tactics to cloud data and systems in responses to this increased use of the cloud. According to a CRA Business Intelligence’s September 2022 Cloud Security Survey, misconfigurations, lack of oversight, and little visibility across the organization are among their chief concerns regarding cloud deployments.

If organizations are going to successfully adopt/transition to the cloud, they must ensure security is part of their program. An effective cloud security program includes various process and technology capabilities to effectively keep up with the current threat landscape and vulnerabilities.

Security breaches become headlines, and breach headlines that were rare just five years ago seem to occupy today’s daily news cycle. At the same time, the outdated image of an information security practitioner running through the office, brandishing their flaming sword of justice and screaming, “thou shall not pass!” is now from a bygone era. In fact, many of today’s data breaches are made possible by missteps and misconfigurations, and compounding this are security issues introduced to website authentication mechanisms that enforce bad end user behavior. As a result, security debt has become a significant problem for most organizations, and attackers will exploit it to their advantage.

You wouldn’t play poker blind, so why search for cyberthreats without analytics?
Searching data lakes for cybersecurity threats or vulnerable assets without using scaled analytics is like playing a round of poker while blindfolded! You always want the upper hand, so in this talk, you’ll learn how security related content including pre-built reports, dashboards, and visualizations can handle common security and compliance requirements. Analytics ensure sound security postures so organizations don’t fold to cyber threats.

By simplifying the review of an enterprise data lake using easily implemented data science with scaled analytics, you can eliminate blind spots and significantly improve your organization’s cybersecurity framework. We’ll also show you how the SOC can extract the most value from security data, plus we’ll share many more stealth tips for your advantage.

Despite having distinct differences, data privacy and compliance are deeply intertwined with cyber security. As focus on data privacy and compliance increases, business leaders can expect to see vast changes related to how consumer data is managed, shared, and secured. Policy & laws on data privacy and compliance continue to expand and become increasingly stringent, so it is important for companies and their respective business leaders to consider these areas as they develop & evaluate their cyber security strategies. For instance, last year the SEC proposed amendments to its rules on cyber security, risk management, strategy, governance, and incident disclosure by public companies.

At a more granular level, there are various initiatives to protect specific consumer data and ensure enterprises are compliant in doing so – particularly health data and children’s personal information. The American Data Privacy and Protection Act (ADPPA) if passed could greatly impact health data beyond the scope of HIPAA by establishing a national framework to protect & preserve the privacy of consumer data collected by entities not covered by HIPAA. In an American Medical Association survey, about 75% of surveyed patients expressed concern and confusion related to the privacy of their health data and how it is handled. The ADPPA could help clear up some of this confusion by establishing clear expectations. Another critical area is the collection of personal information of children. The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) helps put parents in control of how their children’s data is handled and ensures that all entities in possession of this data sustain its confidentiality, security, and integrity.

Maintaining strong data privacy and compliance practices is imperative in preventing sensitive personal data from becoming compromised. This information is extremely valuable to cyber criminals, who seek to utilize compromised data to steal others’ identities or resell such PII.

This panel will look at the latest data privacy policies and implications for what this means for business leaders in the future. Our lineup of experts will lend their insights and offer best practices relating to privacy, compliance, and identity protection.

Organizations process and store huge volumes of sensitive information. Inadequate controls in IAM processes and technology can lead to breach, involuntary exposure of data, and non-compliance issues.

Join us as we demonstrate a proven Zero-Trust driven assessment, architecture and executable roadmap process that answers the most common questions about CyberSolve implementations: How do we determine what we COULD do vs. what we SHOULD do? What’s this going to cost us? How do we maintain our IAM once it is implemented? What is different when addressing Workforce IAM vs Customer IAM (CIAM)?

Today, more than any other time in history, we are digitally connected. And, with a continuous rise in mobile related attacks, and an ever-increasing use of mobile devices to perform business tasks, protecting your organization from Mobile threats is more critical than ever. And, despite our best efforts, threats and breaches continue to increase.

Join Grant Asplund for this insightful presentation to learn about the latest mobile and user protection including Check Point’s Harmony suite for securing users and access. Today’s mobile security needs to prevent the download of malicious files to mobile devices, not just from the web and email but also collaboration tools like Teams and Slack and others. Learn out how you can achieve 99.7% efficacy against zero-day threats across your entire enterprise leveraging ThreatCloud, the best threat intelligence solution in the industry.

In this session, Darktrace unveil an ambitious new approach to security, with core engines powering AI technologies to prevent, detect, respond, and ultimately heal from attacks across all areas of their digital environment. Together, these engines combine to strengthen organizations’ security posture in a virtuous AI feedback ‘loop,’ which provides powerful end-to-end, bespoke, and self-learning solutions unique to each organization. 

“Pay Up, or Else”. The number of organizations who have been faced with this scenario has been steadily increasing over the past several years as ransomware attacks continue to rise — both in numbers and the size of payouts.

The clear and present danger of a ransomware attack looms large among cyber executives and business leaders as the number of vulnerabilities increases daily. According to a 2022 CRA Business Intelligence survey, nearly one in four respondents reported that their organization experienced one or more ransomware attacks in the past 12 months, and almost one out of three of these organizations said the attacker succeeded in gaining access to their systems, encrypting files, and demanding a ransom

According to this survey, many believe that the worst is yet to come and that they are at a significantly higher risk of a cyberattack than ever before – it’s not a matter of “if,” but “when.”

Preparing for the inevitable and defending against the threat of a ransomware attack requires constant evaluation and assessment, and then making the necessary adjustments.

On this panel, our lineup of industry experts will discuss the key security measures enterprises must take, going beyond backup and recovery and anti-malware/anti-virus solutions to include endpoint security, vulnerability management, Active Directory monitoring, credential protection, DNS security tools, SIEM, DLP and encryption, and cloud security software.
