In this presentation, we will delve into the fascinating world of artificial intelligence (AI). Join me as we explore AI, examine its historical development, and current applications, and discuss the potential impact and ethical considerations of AI in the future.

Artificial intelligence has come a long way since its early beginnings. From the first AI programs in the 1950s to the development of expert systems in the 1980s, we will explore the breakthroughs that have shaped the field of AI. Discover how these advancements laid the foundation for the sophisticated AI technologies we use today. Hear how Check Point is, and has been, leveraging AI and the new tools we are developing to fight fire with fire.

AI technologies such as machine learning, natural language processing, and computer vision are constantly evolving. Learn about where to find the latest breakthroughs in AI research and development, including deep learning algorithms, neural networks, and robotics. These cutting-edge innovations in AI are changing the way we live and work.

The history of AI, the current state of the technology, and the potential future impact are all evidence of the incredible journey we are on. Join me for this fun, informative presentation.

Cloud computing solves many problems like flexibility, cost-efficiency & scalability, so it’s no surprise that use of the cloud is consistently growing. 

That said, it also means organizations step into unknown areas where gaps are easy to miss and hackers are quick to exploit. 

Today we will discuss all things cloud so you know what works best for your organization.

Our experts will look at hybrid and multi-cloud environments, adopting the concept of cybersecurity mesh & Zero Trust, the Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) framework, cloud-native tools & platforms, as well as why the future of network security is in the Cloud. 

Insider threats are often the hidden dangers in cybersecurity — an elusive risk that, due to their inherent complexity, can cause substantial harm to any organization. It takes a combination AI disciplines; Machine Learning UEBA, Pattern Matching correlation rules, NLP search capabilities, orchestration and automation; for a modern security analyst to get a complete vision of internal and external threats. This demo provides a view of the new Threat Center and AI-powered Search, demonstrating how events are grouped and organized into cases, scored by risk, with generative AI descriptions of what happened and what to do about it.

Attend this demo to learn:

• The importance of implementing UEBA to increase visibility into user access and activities and quickly review and investigate potential threats
• The simplicity of NLP search – meeting an analyst in their native language to find out what happened
• The power of Generative AI applied to explain threats and cases in simple language to communicate risk to key stakeholders

In today’s evolving cybersecurity landscape, traditional defense-in-depth strategies no longer suffice, particularly at the data level. This session explores how organizations can go beyond infrastructure-focused security, emphasizing the importance of securing the data itself. With adversaries increasingly targeting data through sophisticated identity-based attacks and growing regulatory pressures, it’s essential to rethink how we protect sensitive information. By focusing on before, during, and after attack strategies, this session outlines steps to achieve cyber resilience and reduce overall data risk. The discussion will include real-world examples and strategies to defend data more effectively, leveraging capabilities you may not be taking advantage of today, but should be.

You’ll learn:

• How traditional defense-in-depth strategies fall short in securing data.
• Ways you can reduce data risk before, during and after an attack.
• Why focusing on data is a key to cyber resilience. 

As the digital landscape evolves, so too do the methods and tactics of cyber threats. Traditional cybersecurity measures, while essential, are no longer sufficient in the face of increasingly sophisticated attacks. To build a robust defense, it is imperative to integrate an understanding of human behavior into cybersecurity strategies. This keynote explores the vital role behavioral science plays in enhancing cybersecurity resilience. Behavioral science delves into the intricacies of human decision-making, cognitive biases, and social dynamics, offering insights that can transform cybersecurity practices. By analyzing how individuals perceive and respond to threats, organizations can tailor their security measures to anticipate and mitigate human error, a leading cause of security breaches. The presentation will cover key behavioral science principles, such as the psychology of phishing, the impact of stress and fatigue on operational efficiency, and the role of social engineering in cyber-attacks. It will also highlight how behavioral science can inform the design of user-centric security training programs that foster a security-conscious culture. Real-world case studies will illustrate the effectiveness of incorporating behavioral insights into cybersecurity frameworks. Attendees will gain practical strategies for leveraging behavioral science to enhance their organization’s resilience, from designing intuitive security systems to developing interventions that nudge employees towards secure behaviors. Ultimately, this keynote aims to underscore the importance of viewing cybersecurity through the lens of human behavior, encouraging a holistic approach that integrates technology, policy, and psychology to create a more resilient digital environment.

What are the biggest threats to your business? What’s changing in the current threat landscape that you need to know about? Is ransomware still the biggest threat or is AI taking the spotlight?

On this panel our lineup of industry experts will discuss the most dangerous and emerging threats to your organization as well as the solutions that go beyond anti-malware/anti-virus to include endpoint security, vulnerability management, Active Directory monitoring, credential protection, DNS security tools, SIEM, DLP and encryption.

Certificate authorities (CAs) keep the digital world secure by issuing certificates that follow strict industry standards. But revocation incidents do happen sometimes. While CAs work to fix these errors, it’s critical for organizations to be prepared to act quickly and efficiently when revocations occur.

Join Brian Trzupek, SVP of Product at DigiCert, as he dives into:

· Revocations Uncovered: why revocations occur, their broader impact, and how post quantum cryptography will come into play.

· The Importance of Automation: How automation can simplify and expedite certificate replacement, minimizing disruptions.

· Crypto Agility: Strategies for adapting quickly to new cryptographic standards to stay agile and secure.

· Revocation Best Practices: Key tactics for managing revocations, including effective communication, system updates, and maintaining business continuity.

Learn how to turn these challenges into opportunities to enhance your certificate management and improve your organization’s resilience.

Here, I plan to explore why Identity and Access Management (IAM) has become a critical component of modern cybersecurity. Focusing on the recent 2023 MGM Resorts cyberattack, where hackers used social engineering and credential theft to bring down operations, I’ll illustrate how today’s threats target identities rather than traditional network perimeters. We will examine how attackers exploit weaknesses through methods like phishing, credential stuffing, and MFA bypass techniques. The presentation will emphasize the importance of implementing Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), adopting Zero Trust principles, and managing privileged access accounts to safeguard against these evolving threats. Attendees will leave with actionable insights on how to protect their organizations by focusing on identity as the new security perimeter in an increasingly digital and remote world.
