In the face of skyrocketing cyber risk, detecting and responding to attacks is no longer enough. Organizations must take proactive steps to prevent threats before they happen, and to recover if compromised. 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. 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.

Threat management programs aiming to establish visibility, detection, investigation and response are becoming more complex as infrastructure and workforces expand and adapt. This not only makes threat management more challenging, but can also dramatically increase our exposure to attack. So how can we do a better job of proactively understanding and reducing the risks and exposures associated with this disparate environment, while simultaneously significantly reducing the stress on our threat management systems and teams?

Join us to hear what we have learned from thousands of engagements in this developing field, which we are referring to as Exposure Management. This approach has the goal helping organizations reduce risk and inefficiencies and get the most out of the tools, processes and people that they have. All while enabling the business to evolve and thrive.

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 an InfoSec leader, your world has dramatically changed in just the last couple of years, and the door for risk has swung wide open. Attackers are smart, stealthy and focused on profiting from your high value information and ransomware payments.  And they’re usually a few steps ahead of you. 

With cybersecurity top of mind for your Executives and the Board, you need to anticipate questions and be ready with answers. Unfortunately, the conversation we’ve been having around cyber security is ineffective.  The right conversation is centered on business priorities and the company’s appetite for risk so the value of investment choices is clear and informed decisions can be made. The goal is to choose the right level of spend to defensibly protect your company as it operates, grows and expands.

Attend this session and learn:

• What’s driving a significant change in InfoSec priorities
• Why “how” you protect must shift to “how well” you protect
• How to tie InfoSec investments to business priorities

Three recent research reports from Verizon — the 2022 Data Breach Investigations Report, the Mobile Security Index and the Payment Security Report — offer a wealth of insight into cybercrime trends. Verizon’s Mark Norberg will break down the findings from these industry-leading pieces of thought leadership and explain how to use the reports to remediate a broad range of risks.

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.

Data is the lifeblood of business and other organizations in this digital age. Yet that data and the applications running the business are under constant attack. Nation states create cyber weapons that lock up data centers, sophisticated criminals employ the latest capabilities to gain access and encrypt data for ransom while destroying backups, and the threat of insiders becomes more critical as the stakes grow higher.

In this session, learn the details about how sophisticated cyber attacks occur; why cyber insurance isn’t enough and paying a ransom has to be the option of last resort; and techniques and capabilities you must have to ensure your organization’s ability to recover safely and efficiently from a sophisticated cyber disaster.

Building a preventative cyber security program depends on an organization’s ability to learn from past cyber-attacks and innovate for the future. In this presentation, we would look back at previous security incidents, review some current trends and identity emerging preventative controls organizations should consider to stop future attacks.

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.

Digital transformation has led to explosive growth in IT, IoT, IoMT and OT/ICS assets connecting to organizational networks. Innovations such as remote access, distributed operations and mobile workforces have improved efficiency – while expanding the cyberattack surface. This is your digital reality: the sum of everything connected to your network, from campus to cloud and data center to edge.

Join Adam Kohler to learn:

• How to align your digital reality with your security framework
• The importance of discovering, assessing, and governing across all cyber assets
• Lessons from cybersecurity research team, Vedere Labs, and the current threat landscape

Now more than ever, security has to be top of mind for IT and security teams. Cybercrime is up 600% due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and remote work has increased the average cost of a data breach by $137,000. IT teams need to make sure every piece of their tech stack helps support their security needs. And that starts with the browser, a key component of end user productivity. Hear from the Chrome team on how to improve your security posture with Chrome.
