The rapid adoption of cloud technology has brought numerous benefits to businesses, but it has also introduced new risks and challenges to information security. In this session, we’ll explore various scenarios that can lead to the compromise of cloud environments and the impact that can have on an organization’s security posture. We’ll discuss both common and less-frequent attack vectors that occur in cloud environments. Finally, we’ll provide practical recommendations and best practices learned from real-world incidents that you can use to help minimize the risks of cloud-related security incidents.

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 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.

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. 

The National Cybersecurity Strategy highlighted the growing role the private sector plays in our national security, challenging conventional warfare where kinetic attacks were the primary threat and armed forces our main line of defense. This pivot is a direct result of what many are calling the 4th Industrial Revolution, where technology is transforming virtually every aspect of society and fundamentally reshaping the human experience. Join Parham Eftekhari, EVP CRA Community + Chairman, Institute for Critical Infrastructure Technology, as he delves into the technology trends reshaping our world, how it impacts security from the local to global level, and the critical role that cybersecurity professionals play in keeping our nation – and our planet – safe from today’s hyper-evolving threat landscape.

Ransomware has evolved beyond a mere buzzword, becoming a pervasive threat in 2024. In this session we will cover some of the specifics of what customers experience on an everyday basis. Amidst this escalating danger, organizations must prioritize disaster recovery planning, elevating it to the forefront of their strategic agendas and enacting measures at the highest levels of leadership to ensure preparedness. The relentless wave of cyberattacks, coupled with the transformative shift towards generative technologies and the widespread adoption of cloud services, necessitates a reevaluation of security frameworks and continue to fortify their cyber resilience posture. Emphasizing the importance of third-party data backups are crucial steps to bolster organizational readiness and safeguard data integrity and availability in an increasingly complex digital landscape.
