With the myriad options for addressing the many links in the kill chain, how do you determine which is best suited to protect your business? If you focus heavily on stopping initial infection, a single bypass of your perimeter can be deadly. A strong backup and restore strategy is valid… but should be plan b. If you miss the middle of the kill chain, you can’t stop a ransomware attack from spreading across your network and locking down critical applications and infrastructure. A multi-layer defense strategy that strategically addresses areas of the chain where you are most vulnerable is going to- prevent widespread damage, data loss, and downtime.

Join this session to discuss:
* Methods for addressing your unique attack surface
* The importance of the notoriously under-addressed lateral movement phase that is critical to the success of an attack
* Increasing internal visibility as it relates to threat intel and ransomware attacks
* Understanding modern attack trends – and what this means for your security strategy

Getting past the hype of AI and ChatGPT, there are huge benefits to practical (and less sexy) applications of AI. And despite all the buzzwords and overpromises coming from our industry today, there actually are real and meaningful ways AI tools will help security professionals make better risk decisions, faster and more accurately. In this talk, we’ll show some examples of how AI can help predict risk, cut through complexity when making risk decisions and even help to retain senior staff while keeping them focused on the tasks that matter most.

When looking at how to best protect your business, cybersecurity readiness should be top priority, but what is it?

Cybersecurity readiness is the ability to identify, prevent, and respond to cyber threats. Can proper data governance, risk management (including managing 3rd party risk and supply chain risk) and compliance provide a framework to always being ready?

Let’s discuss GRC & the best steps to take when quantifying cyber risk, developing your incident response plan, creating a data security policy & more.

There seems to be a new article every day covering the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and the security industry. Vendors are suggesting that AI has the potential to act as a team member, replace missing expertise, and reduce headcount for detecting, investigating, responding to, and predicting new cyberthreats. The concept of a fully computerized SOC may be a dream in a world lacking cybersecurity professionals, but can it be realized?

Increasing the autonomy of the SOC is a noble goal, especially for smaller organizations struggling to hire and retain the necessary cybersecurity skills. However, the need for self-learning and self-repairing capabilities in an autonomous SOC raises an important concern: If your IT and security system becomes self-referential and self-healing, how can you investigate to ensure it’s getting it right? Who watches the watchers?

This talk will explore:
• The history of AI, ML, and automation already in your security stack
• The dangers and challenges of unrestricted GPT and other chat bots as information sources
• Ways humans and AI can work together
• How Exabeam uses ML today and is exploring AI in the future

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 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. 

In the past couple of years, ransomware has evolved from a relatively simple, opportunistic crime to what we call advanced extortionate threats. The evolution of ransomware is a story of innovation, realizing that a bigger payday is possible for attackers based on the level of strategic work they put in. Traditional defenses used up to this point are often not enough and do not match the sophistication of the attackers. Come learn how network detection and response (NDR) solutions can bolster traditional defense mechanisms and help mitigate such attacks using the network telemetry.
