Join Stacy, a Secureworks leader, as she 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.

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

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.

Critical infrastructure refers to the systems and assets that are essential for the functioning of society and economy, including power grids, water supply systems, transportation networks, and communication systems. These infrastructures are highly interconnected and interdependent, making them vulnerable to various threats, including cyber-attacks, natural disasters, and physical attacks. This paper provides an overview of critical infrastructure security, including the current state of critical infrastructure protection, the challenges in securing critical infrastructure, and the best practices for improving critical infrastructure security.

In today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape, organizations are struggling with diverse methods of interaction with employees, customers, and partners through a multitude of technologies. This complexity often leads to a lack of control over Identity and Access Management (IAM), leaving organizations vulnerable to security threats and compliance issues. The cost of ignoring the risk can haunt you for years however, you cannot correct what you don’t know, so the first steps are assessing whether your organization is positioned for a successful implementation, migration or fix and, validating the organization is focused on the right path and/or issue they are looking to mitigate. Join us as we demonstrate a proven, 3 stage, IAM Strategic Assessment model that is NIST compliance driven answering the “what, where, when, why and how” surrounding both Workforce Identity & Access Management and Customer Identity & Access Management (CIAM) programs, projects and operations.

In today’s digital age, the threat of cyber attacks looms large, with hackers constantly devising new methods to breach networks and compromise sensitive data. This talk delves into the intricate world of hacking, shedding light on the techniques employed by cyber intruders to infiltrate networks and exploit vulnerabilities within company defenses. From phishing scams to sophisticated malware, we’ll explore the diverse arsenal at hackers’ disposal and examine the critical points of weakness that leave organizations susceptible to attack. By understanding the modus operandi of hackers and pinpointing areas of vulnerability, companies can fortify their defenses and safeguard against potential threats in the ever-evolving landscape of cybersecurity.

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.
