This informative session analyses the growing threat of cyberattacks and risks to internet security in today’s world. Col. Leighton explores the various types of attacks and vectors, including how bad actors can impact businesses and individuals. The session also examines the role of governments and international organizations—partnering with public and private businesses—in protecting against cyber threats.

Col. Leighton describes how nefarious actions are becoming increasingly more sophisticated and widespread, with hackers targeting not just large corporations but also smaller businesses and even individuals. He emphasizes the need for organizations to take proactive measures to protect their networks and data, including investing in advanced security technologies and providing regular training to employees.

He shares examples of cyber activity—good and bad; offensive and defensive—from Ukraine, China, and around the globe.

Key take-away: 
How to rethink database security controls in a cloud-first world.

For most organizations, data repositories hold our most sensitive, mission critical assets. As enterprises continue their digital transformation journeys, data repositories and the sensitive assets within are more exposed than ever before for several reasons, including a dramatic rise in the:

• Amount of data created, collected, and stored
• Number of repositories storing sensitive data across clouds
• Number of users and applications that need access to data

When a data breach or other cyber incident happens, having a plan in place can mean the difference between a quick recovery and unwanted headlines and irreparable harm to stakeholder trust.

Like the main character in the 1981 horror movie, An American Werewolf in London, cybercriminals continue to morph into something evil, lurking in the night (and day) to cause harm to people, organizations, and governments. Cue the Creedence Clearwater Revival song, Bad Moon Rising.

The cybersecurity community is smart and more than capable of thwarting bad actors, fangs and all. They have tools, technologies, partnerships across private and public entities, and solution vendors to help them along the way. Don’t forget about the consultants working hard to stay ahead of those wanting to do harm, as well.

Hear our panelists’ views on the current threat landscape, solutions they have to offer, and ideas they have for turning a bad moon into a harvest moon.

Can you “imagine” if The Beatles, when first starting out, had to deal with having their catalog of music hacked, stolen, and held for ransom simply because it was in an unsecure cloud setting? While it is possible for that to happen with their hit-laden collection of songs today, it’s merely a tiny example of how businesses operate at a minimum in a hybrid cloud environment—many in a cloud-only platform.

With that comes security issues and another major area which cybersecurity professionals must work diligently to protect.

Our panel of experts share the good, the bad, and the ugly of operating in a cloud environment, what it takes to make the move to hybrid or multi-cloud successful, how to protect data from insider and outsider threats, and what it takes to provide the support DevOps teams need.

As the nation’s cyber defense agency, CISA leads the national effort to understand, manage, and reduce risk to our cyber and physical infrastructure. Since the majority of our nation’s critical infrastructure is privately owned, ensuring the nation’s cybersecurity posture requires continued collaboration between government and the private sector. During this fireside chat, CISA will discuss the current cyber threat landscape, the agency’s latest initiatives to help critical infrastructure owners and operators protect and defend their networks, and the catalog of CISA services available to organizations to become more cyber resilient.

Measuring one’s cybersecurity framework against others in the same industry, or even outside of their vertical, can provide valuable insights into areas to improve or adjust.
