Whether a startup or a midmarket company, these controls will build, or repair, the foundational security program necessary to provide a strategic advantage in protecting the brand and revenue. 

As a startup, security leaders are asked to move quickly while balancing productivity and security, erring on the side of productivity. As the company grows and becomes an enterprise, the concerns and challenges are similar yet more complex. As complexity grows leaders may overcomplicate security solutions as their budget grows. Certainly the implementation and maturity of controls requires additional effort the larger the organization, yet these 13 controls remain foundational to a truly affective security program. 

Working on multiple cybersecurity insurance applications have provided a consistent set of minimum security controls insurance underwriters are looking for before considering writing a policy. The level of maturity of the implementation of those controls affects coverage levels provided as well as premium costs. Building on a basic set of 8 security controls provided by the insurance industry, I have created a set of custom set of the 13 essential cybersecurity controls every business should adopt to maximize their ability to mitigate cyber threats and significantly reduce business risks. This set of controls has been used multiple times in the last few years as I have led the implementation of security programs for an SEC-regulated investment firm and five healthcare service organizations. We need to stop chasing the next shiny object when it comes to new security tools and make sure these 13 controls are rock solid.

Join Ken as he unveils the blueprint for future-proofing cybersecurity in the face of relentless, opportunistic threat actors. In this keynote, we’ll explore the imperative for organizations to adapt, collaborate, and fortify their tech strategy against the ever-changing threat landscape. Gain invaluable insights to empower your cybersecurity approach, ensuring resilience in a landscape where adaptability is not just an option but a necessity.

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. 

Please join Daniel Pollack, Check Point Harmony Manager for the Southern US, for a discussion about current attacks seen in the marketplace in 2024. We will review the highlights of recent attacks and responses documented by Check Point Research. Know what attacks are trending to help stay prepared

Artificial Intelligence (AI) introduces novel security challenges, including adversarial attacks and model vulnerabilities. Also, there is the issue of whether you can trust the AI you have. This session will cover six different types of AI attacks in order to provide a better understanding of the threatscape along with some suggestions for securing the data, the model, the usage and the infrastructure. Also, a glimpse into the future of how generative AI can be leveraged to improve cybersecurity will be discussed.

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.

In a world where threats continue to become more challenging, the cost of breaches continues to rise, and the impact of breaches is becoming more catastrophic, CISOs must evolve their strategies rapidly. In addition, the reality of liability is weighing heavily on every CISO. As one of the newer roles in the C-suite, the CISO must evolve their cybersecurity programs and adapt their leadership styles to meet the advancement of threats today, especially with the general availability of AI, more specifically GenAI. During this session, we will cover the need for resilient cybersecurity within your cybersecurity programs, ensuring a comprehensive approach to reducing risk for your organization. The reality is, we need to be best prepared for ‘when’ a cybersecurity incident will occur, and not ‘if’. We will also look at the role of the CISO as it evolves into a position of prominence within the organization, requiring a shift from a role that is not only technical in nature but also integrates business acumen, translating technical risks into more quantifiable and business terms.
