We believe the enterprise will be hybrid forever and all modern attacks are hybrid attacks. We also believe legacy threat detection and response approaches have proven inefficient and ineffective against hybrid attacks and here’s why: over the last decade, digital transformation drove the need for threat detection coverage across an expanding hybrid attack surface. The need for coverage led to investments in siloed detection tech, driving tool sprawl for security architects and engineers. Detection tool sprawl has resulted in unmanageable alert volume for SOC leaders and their teams. Unmanageable alert volume creates excessive workload. No wonder, SOC analysts receive an average of 4,484 alerts per day and 67% of them are ignored. As a result, 71% admit their organization may be compromised and they don’t know about it, and a staggering 97% of analysts worry they will miss a relevant security event buried in alerts – 49% worry about this every day. We contend to effectively defend the hybrid enterprise from hybrid attacks, we need to shift from trying to maximize the value of tech and tools and start figuring out how to maximize the value of existing talent. In this session, we explore the definition of effective hybrid attack defense through the eyes of SOC analysts and the pose the question: what role does AI play in hybrid attack defense and unlocking the value of our existing SOC talent?

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.

In this informative session, we will step into the eye of the cybersecurity storm in a session that exposes the profound shift in the cyber battleground brought by Generative AI. Last year witnessed record losses to phishing and ransomware attacks, but as they say in show business, “you ain’t seen nothing yet!” Learn how the incredible power of Generative AI, that helps fortify cybersecurity defenses, is also arming cybercriminals with formidable new capabilities. This transformation will make them much more dangerous digital adversaries increasing the threat to every type and size of organization across every industry. Attendees will see the tools that cybercriminals use, and they will gain an understanding of the impact of generative AI on the most dangerous and destructive attack methods. The session will also present the next-generation defense strategies that will become necessary.

The cost of data breaches continues to grow—topping $4.5 million on average. But what if breaches could become harmless? 

There is a paradigm shift in security: Traditional approaches to cybersecurity, focusing on network and device security, have proven insufficient due to evolving threats and third-party access. We’ll explore how enterprises can shift to a data-centric security model to mitigate the impact of inevitable cybersecurity breaches.

The way businesses operate has changed more in the past forty-eight months than any other 4-year period. First, people and data fled the traditional office for home and cloud. Now, people are making their way back (sometimes), but data isn’t. Rather than returning to the way things were before the pandemic, businesses and government agencies are forging a new path in which people are working anywhere with data that’s everywhere. Forcepoint’s mission is to help simplify end users’ journey through what Forcepoint calls “Data Security Everywhere.”

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.

A unified approach to breach control for endpoints is crucial in today’s increasingly complex and diverse IT landscapes. It involves combining various strategies and technologies to create a comprehensive defence against cyberattacks.

Ensure you can identify, protect, detect, respond, and recover capabilities. More importantly, having all your known vulnerabilities stopped at the bay will ensure you have a better control over the assets before the threat actor does. Once you have a good grip over the known vulnerabilities, your detection and respond abilities can take care of the unknown-unknown vulnerabilities to protect your business assets.
Lets look at the above using the NIST CSF lenses to have clarity.

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.

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.
