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.

Each year the Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report brings data driven insights to the information security community.  But with so much data sometimes it’s easy to miss the forest for the trees.  Come hear about the key findings hidden in plain sight in the DBIR this year and how you can use them to build a better, data-driven security program!

Cloud innovations continue to drive the rapid adoption of cloud services, which offer numerous advantages such as increased flexibility, better scalability, cost savings, higher productivity, and resiliency. However, challenges in migrating to the cloud and protecting the cloud environment cause concern for many organizations. According to research done by Cybersecurity Insiders in partnership with (ISC)², 72% of organizations said they feel either not at all confident (8%), slightly confident (12%), or moderately confident (52%) in their cloud security posture, expressing concerns over data loss & leakage, data privacy, compliance, and unauthorized access. Lack of qualified staff / knowledge and visibility of security platforms continue to be the biggest threats facing cloud security, with misconfigurations accounting for the majority of cloud data breaches.

This panel will highlight the benefits of migrating to the cloud and examine the pros & cons of the various cloud models. Our lineup of Subject Matter Experts will discuss the risks facing security teams as they adopt cloud services, offer recommendations to minimize these risks, and provide insight on best practices to secure the cloud.

Abstract: Selecting an EDR platform can be a stressful enough process for your organization but what comes next is even more important to ensuring your protection. You want your EDR tools to be available when you need them most during an incident but how can you be sure that you are utilizing your platform to its fullest?. During this talk we will cover the common mistakes that organizations make when deploying an EDR solution as well as managing a platform as an individual and as a team.

Have you ever been told that the greatest security risk to your company is end users? That you should be constantly paranoid on which ways that they are letting adversaries into your secure environment? That the end user makes your perimeter more like Swiss cheese? While some of those things are true, instead of dwelling on how much of a problem the end users are, I am here to tell you that they can also help. I will walk through several concepts that the majority of security programs miss out on or fall short with such as:

• Phish Awareness and Reporting
• Tabletop Exercise focused on End User interaction
• Patching

Hopefully, by the end of this, you will not always think of the end user as an enemy and will learn how to utilize them as an ally.

The only way to stop all computer based attacks is to stop using computers. Assume your environment is vulnerable and layer in the right security people and tools to make sure your business is protected and has the ability to triage an incident efficiently.

Organizations now face the pressure to manage data security and compliance requirements in a perimeter-less world which continues to evolve. This challenge requires for organizations to adopt a broad, yet holistic and effective data strategy to manage all data regardless of form and location. Join this presentation to learn what you can do to remove some of the gaps from your data security practices.

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.

As we settle into life with COVID, the topic of zero trust security and a remote workforce is top of mind for all enterprise security teams. During this session you’ll hear from security practitioners who were responsible for the zero trust strategy and implementation at two Fortune 500 global enterprises – Adobe & Cisco. They will share their experiences and tips for rolling out zero trust methodologies at scale. 

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.
