    8:15 am - 8:50 am

    Today’s modern applications depend on of a substantial amount of open source components and third-party libraries, and developers acknowledge that utilizing open source allows them to focus more on unique code attributes instead of recreating what’s already been successfully established. Although organizations acknowledge a heightened level of security, license, and operational risk, unfortunately, many don’t effectively track or manage open source throughout their entire code base and cannot consistently address the widening hazards they face.

    As a result, organizations desire automated, repeatable processes for open source usage, risk management, and vulnerability remediation that fit within modern development environments.

    In this session, attendees will hear recommendations from Stephen Gates, Checkmarx SME, on how to effectively implement an approach to:

    • Identify open source with confidence
    • Minimize open source security and license risks
    • Prioritize exploitable vulnerabilities
    • Accelerate informed remediation
    • Integrate and automate open source analysis

    The basic “people problem” needs to be redefined and updated using science. For years, cybersecurity and data privacy advocates have been arguing that training employees is the only way to safeguard the organization. However, many organizations engage in cybersecurity training are forced to stare down the barrel of a data breach caused by one of those trained employees. The question becomes, why do we continue to repeat the same exercise expecting a different outcome?

    In addition, the global pandemic has caused many organizations to operate remotely. And many are planning to operate with at least a portion of their employees being remote. This causes another operational hurdle for IT and IT security professionals.

    This presentation will explain how cyber awareness training, in a traditional method, is a complete failure. We will discuss how using this traditional method of training can cause greater liability and threats to an organization. Finally, we will review how measuring an employee’s  Knowledge (K), Attitude (A), and Behavior (B) (“KAB”) toward cybersecurity can help to create tailored solution for cyber awareness training and provide a workforce the weapons they need to effectively stave off cyberthreats.

    Today, 94% of cyber threats still originate in the inbox. “Impersonation attacks” are on the rise, as artificial intelligence is increasingly being used to automatically generate spear-phishing emails, or digital fakes, that expertly mimic the writing style of trusted contacts and colleagues.

    Humans can no longer distinguish real from fake on their own, and businesses are increasingly turning to AI to distinguish friend from foe and fight back with autonomous response.

    In an era when thousands of documents can be encrypted in minutes, “immune system” technology takes action in seconds—stopping cyber threats before damage is done.

    Using public clouds for enterprise datacenters is now mainstream; the advantages are significant and the gained agility undisputable. However, the number of services and options being offered is daunting. And with these choices come consequences; one misconfiguration can put your entire organization at risk… or worse.

    Another reality you will face as you scale is the challenge of using a “one-size-fits-all” interface. Imagine trying to find a misconfigured or exposed S3 bucket when you have thousands; it’s finding a needle in a stack of needles.

    And, if you’re like most enterprises, you have a resource gap and don’t have the experienced, trained security professionals maintaining your cloud environment(s). This gap exacerbates risks. The cloud environments available today are extremely comprehensive and powerful, but in unskilled hands, one fat-finger can have dire consequences. And, as you implement ephemeral cloud-native services like Lambda functions and other cloud-native platform components, new challenges will arise when conducting threat-detection and attribution.

    In this session, you’ll see your future and what to expect managing your public cloud-based datacenter. You’ll learn why Gartner says “Through 2023, at least 99% of cloud security failures will be the customer’s fault.” We will highlight the top challenges you will face and show you what you should prepare for before you scale. We will also detail recommended best practices for securing and maintaining compliance in your public cloud data center.

    Data Loss Prevention (DLP) solutions alone can no longer address today’s data privacy requirements. Customer PII data is the most often lost or stolen data, and more than half of these breaches involve malicious attacks. Challenges like increasing threat activity, difficulty protecting a remote workforce, and accelerating migration of data to cloud platforms make it harder to secure data and comply with privacy regulations—especially when analysts need multiple tools to investigate data leakages. So how can you better protect your company in 2021?

    10:45 am - 11:15 am

    If you think the only way your network and devices can be compromised via email is phishing, think again!

    A majority of data breaches are caused by attacks on the human layer, but email hacking is much more than phishing and launching malware. From code execution and clickjacking to password theft and rogue forms, cybercriminals have more than enough email-based tricks that mean trouble for your InfoSec team.

    In this webinar Roger A. Grimes, KnowBe4’s Data-Driven Defense Evangelist and security expert with over 30-years of experience, explores many ways hackers use social engineering and phishing to trick your users into revealing sensitive data or enabling malicious code to run.

    Roger will show you how hackers compromise your network. You’ll also see incredible demos including a (pre-filmed) hacking demo by Kevin Mitnick, the World’s Most Famous Hacker and KnowBe4’s Chief Hacking Officer.

    Roger will teach you:

    • How remote password hash capture, silent malware launches and rogue rules work
    • Why rogue documents, establishing fake relationships and tricking you into compromising your ethics are so effective
    • The ins and outs of clickjacking
    • Actionable steps on how to defend against them all

    Email is still a top attack vector cybercriminals use. Don’t leave your network vulnerable to these attacks.

    11:30 am - 12:00 pm

    InfoSec practitioners understand that observability and time-to-detection are crucial pieces of the security puzzle. However, data is often collected indiscriminately, stored unnormalized, retained for arbitrary periods of time, and sometimes even poorly understood. These issues make processing, baselining, and alerting on data sources harder than it should be.

    In this session, Jayson Salazar, Sr. Security Automation Engineer @GitLab, will discuss in detail the principles, best practices, and tooling he’s relied on to continuously improve GitLab’s observability capabilities into its infrastructure. We will discuss technical, architectural, procedural, and compliance aspects surrounding successful logging, monitoring, and alerting operations for all-remote environments at scale. From Terraform, Serverless, Data-Store alternatives and Python as building blocks, over finding an architecture that meets your needs, all the way to Alert Triaging and Compliance, this is meant to be a guiding companion for Security departments at the beginning or midst of their observability journey.

    Most organizations have a hybrid implementation of cloud and on-prem services. With the rapid adoption of business digitalization and expanding remote work force, how do we consolidate controls and enhance the security of the systems?

    In this hybrid mode, enterprises need speed, visibility, security, and reliability without compromise. Enter the secure access service edge, better known as SASE. It’s inevitable that SASE implementations and Zero Trust implementations will provide a more comprehensive security capability to truly support digital transformation. How can your organization best position itself for the transition?

    In this session, James Christianson will discuss:
    ·  How to migrate your security controls to take advantage of SASE
    ·  Reducing cost while increasing your security posture
    ·  Implementing a road map for SASE / Zero Trust

    Humans are not resilient—they get sick, die, retire, and can choose not to work for an organization. Currently, a CISO changes jobs on average every 18 months. Burnout is at an all-time high. Cybersecurity professionals feel undervalued and underutilized. Diversity continues to fight for its place on the team. While the cybersecurity industry is full of useful cyber resiliency insights and research, the human role in the resiliency chain is often overlooked. Together, we will define human resilience and the four-part solutions to create human resilience: individual, team, company, and industry.

    Cybersecurity managers and leaders will leave this talk with a proactive talent resilience approach plan that will keep their talent from being vulnerable and/or from nullifying their overall resilience plans.

    Financial service firms have a responsibility to provide fool-proof security to instill faith in customers, and send a strong message that combating threats is a prime objective. They cannot afford to be complacent, especially when the majority of information produced or utilized in financial services is private and sensitive, not to mention highly regulated. All this adds up to make cybersecurity vital to business.

    Building sustainable ongoing security starts with all-inclusive optics into the sensitivity of data and automated organization-wide control of it. Organizations can assemble all this with multiple solutions, but doing so is time-consuming, expensive, and can be fraught with integration woes.

    There’s a better way. This session takes a deep dive into reducing complexity in sensitive and private data protection, including:

    • How to dig deep across the enterprise into every place sensitive data may be stored, from data lakes to endpoint devices
    • The benefit of automatic policy-specific remediation, including masking, redaction, deletion, and encryption
    • How to scale data protection and compliance as data volumes increase
