    Attendees are eligible to receive 18 CPE credits (including 12 CPEs from the Conference Pass).

    Increasingly, each country, and even each state, is providing unique legal solutions to data privacy and security. For businesses that cross borders, both national and domestic, this creates distinct challenges to building effective solutions. These evolving privacy, security and technology requirements are impacting the growth and innovation within companies, requiring strategic decisions regarding risk, legal liability, and strategic planning.

    Often, the concepts of security and privacy by design and by default are built into these legal requirements. But, understanding the requirements of the law, and translating those requirements into technological solutions can be challenging. This workshop will provide in-depth understanding of those legal requirements, and provide a framework to help the industry incorporate these core concepts of design within technology.

    The course will start with an overview of general privacy and security legal and policy principles, and then will focus on two key laws that are pushing the privacy and security laws: the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) and the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”). Using these laws, we will discuss case studies, and how to communicate, plan, and strategize on products and solutions that incorporate privacy and security requirements.

    The course will include both lecture and hands-on exercises. The goal is for attendees to take away tools and strategies to bring this conversation to their teams and departments.

    Let’s be honest: people can frustrate us. They don’t always do the things we’d like, and they often do some things we’d rather they didn’t. New research from the National Cybersecurity Alliance reveals insights about the public’s attitudes and beliefs about security.  We’ll explore the 2022 “Oh Behave! Cybersecurity Attitudes and Behaviors Report,” and some of the findings may surprise you! We’ll also give you practical, actionable advice on how you can better communicate to influence the behavior change you want to see.

    Security is inherently a big data problem today. As SOC analysts investigate attacks, the ability to correlate data across a variety of sources is critical, and doing that well requires a scalable platform that can provide the vehicle for investigation and analytics. In addition, security operations tools need to beyond just providing a generic data lake and also provide the right capability around threat intelligence, detection analytics, and access to quality IR personnel. This session will review how next generation SOC platforms running natively in the cloud are uniquely positioned to solve customer challenges versus traditional SIEM platforms.

    Key Takeaway:
    Strategize for the coming year by reflecting on a watershed period in cybersecurity law, investigating case studies, and exploring enforcement actions.

    The past three years were saturated with change and upheaval. From state-level battles concerning private rights of action to the adoption of privacy laws across the globe, the data protection and security industry refuses to stand still.

    This session looks forward to 2023 by chronicling years past. Forthcoming legislation and regulations tackling data protection respond to pitfalls and triumphs under existing structures. To that end, this session encourages cybersecurity professionals to examine:

    • The content of and consequences arising from new state privacy bills in California, Connecticut, Colorado, Virginia, and Utah, and their accompanying regulations
    • The United States’ proposed American Data Privacy and Protection Act
    • Updates to global privacy laws, including those in the European Union, Brazil, South Africa, and China
    • How the FTC’s renewed focus on unfair practices can impact companies with poor data protection protocols
    • Increasingly common problems, such as rampant data breach liability, ransomware vulnerability, and phishing scams

    The average individual has had their personal data compromised at least seven times in the past several years. This has spawned industries that are providing products and solutions to help people be made whole again with minimal effort.

    In a time when we are becoming tone deaf to data security breaches, we are acutely aware of breaches that have far greater impact than data confidentiality. Ransomware and denial of service attacks are proving to cause a more harmful impact to organizations than data breaches. Yet, the cybersecurity profession continues to emphasize data protection as its primary concern.

    This session will explore whether cybersecurity professionals and supporting product and solution providers should be changing their emphasis from data protection to systems protection to address the new threat and risk landscape.

    11:10 am - 11:55 am
    Location / Room: 406

    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. The advent of the internet introduced new external threats and an ever-growing attack surface, prompting IT teams to start focusing on the protection of data repositories.

    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

      In this talk, we’ll address how organizations can avoid top threats facing your data repositories with GitOps and how to safely democratize access to data repositories across clouds.

    11:10 am - 11:55 am
    Location / Room: 404

    Zero Trust has got to be one of the most talked about themes in cyber security.  While the term means different things to different people, there are two things that can be agreed on:  it’s a journey worth taking and segmentation is a key pillar of that journey. The next question always is how do you get started?

    Regardless of the sophistication of the ransomware, the end goal is always the same:  get in through a vulnerability and move laterally through your network.  Join this presentation as we help peel back the layers to provide you simple steps to get started that include:

    • Gaining visibility to where you are the most vulnerable
    • Closing risky ports
    • Leveraging tools you already have in place without adding layers of complexity

    While the journey can seem intimidating, we’ll help you realize that it doesn’t take a team of 100 or a PhD to deploy zero trust segmentation that will protect your organization and keep ransomware at bay.

    Security is overdue for actionable forecasts. Like predicting the weather, similar models should work for vulnerabilities. With some open source data and a clever machine learning model, the open source EPSS model predicts which vulnerabilities will be exploited in the next 30 days. The author is one of the creators of EPSS and will walk through the history of vulnerability predictions, how the team from Virginia Tech, RAND, Cisco, and Cyentia came together to create the model (and how they got the patent licenses), and what the future of predictive security holds for XDR.

    If we’ve learned one thing from the pandemic it’s that cybercriminals do not take breaks. They are constantly retooling and trying new approaches. They collaborate—often better than we do. It is time for us to join forces, identify the most likely of risks to our organizations, and strengthen our networks. We’ve got to get our developers on board, as well, as it’s got to be secure before it goes to market. And what about all the careless clicking from employees?

    It’s a huge task, but we don’t have to do it alone. Join our panel of experts as they unpack the current threat landscape and offer ideas on how to start making effective changes within your organization.

    CISOs often make solid contributors to boards—be it with public or private companies of varying sizes, non-profits, or with organizations with a cause that is near and dear to their heart—but lots of thought must go into the journey to becoming a board member.

    Takeaways from this session will include:

    • Answering the questions, “Is board work something I want to do?” and “Is it something that plays to my strengths?” (Board positions are typically for CISOs with a knack for governance and big-picture thinking; not for the super technical, for instance.)
    • What every CISO needs to do to prepare to become a board member; it’s a multi-year journey (taking our speaker five years to achieve).
    • You’re ready, you have the experience, so what do you need to do next? (Such as networking and preparing a board bio, which is very different from a resume.)

    Cloud providers have a stake in getting you to use as many of their native services as possible as they all want to capture as much of your cloud spend as possible. This is certainly true for their core IaaS and PaaS services but is also true when it comes to the security services they offer. The major cloud providers all offer a range of native security services that can be leveraged to help you secure the workloads you have on that platform. But let’s face it, most organizations don’t use just a single cloud provider. So, while these services all do a good job for their platform, they are different from the tools you are currently using to manage your on-premises environment, and they are different from each other. This can lead to inefficiencies in your security operations model if you elect to use the cloud native security services for each of your providers. These inefficiencies include duplication of effort and cost; increased staff training time and cost; need for more staff, and most importantly; disparate views of the security posture across your on premises and cloud environments.

    Key session takeaways will include:

    • Strategies for leveraging cloud native tools to your best advantage
    • Integrating cloud tools into your sec ops tools and processes
    • A look at the new gen CSPM tools and how they can help

    This session will focus on automated security validation. Organizations over the years have been following a defense in depth model to protect their critical assets.

    While this strategy makes sense, the tools, processes and procedures surrounding this initiative have grown significantly.
    How confident can organizations be that each layer and the enormous effort undertaking is working effectively?

    Walk away from this session with a better understanding of how continuous security validation, with real life attacker tactics and techniques, will help an organization assure their security readiness across their complete attack surface.

    While the future economic impact on IT budgets is unclear, one thing is clear: attackers will not slow down and may even ramp up knowing organizations are considering lowering IT and cybersecurity spend. It is clear enterprise security is of extreme importance and making investments stretch is going to become essential. Core network services you already have in place, including DNS, DHCP and IPAM (IP Address Management), are often overlooked in the cybersecurity world but can become the most powerful weapon against attackers. During this session, you will learn how to leverage existing services to:

    • Reduce the burden on existing security investments, extending their capacity and lifespan
    • Combat up to 92% of malware and ransomware without new security tools
    • Decrease SecOps investigation time by up to 60%
    • Improve your security posture, lowering cyber insurance costs

    A storm is gaining strength — you don’t know when it will hit, but you know it will. Your adversaries have been planning, studying and waiting. They seek out their best targets to persuade, bribe, extort or send in one of their own. They know your processes, your weaknesses, your strengths and, importantly, what assets you have that they want. It is time to change the game. This course gives you critical knowledge to understand and identify your adversary’s tradecraft to create insiders. In addition, you will learn to identify signs and motivations that may convert loyal employees to dangerous insiders. There is hope. While you can’t convince people not to be insider threats, you can inspire your people to be loyal. Learn how!

    Participants will gain awareness of adversarial tactics, understand signs of the potential “unwitting” insiders and understand core psychological motivations and needs of an insider threat.

    Location / Room: 403

    Increasingly, each country, and even each state, is providing unique legal solutions to data privacy and security. For businesses that cross borders, both national and domestic, this creates distinct challenges to building effective solutions. These evolving privacy, security and technology requirements are impacting the growth and innovation within companies, requiring strategic decisions regarding risk, legal liability, and strategic planning.

    Often, the concepts of security and privacy by design and by default are built into these legal requirements. But, understanding the requirements of the law, and translating those requirements into technological solutions can be challenging. This workshop will provide in-depth understanding of those legal requirements, and provide a framework to help the industry incorporate these core concepts of design within technology.

    The course will start with an overview of general privacy and security legal and policy principles, and then will focus on two key laws that are pushing the privacy and security laws: the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) and the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”). Using these laws, we will discuss case studies, and how to communicate, plan, and strategize on products and solutions that incorporate privacy and security requirements.

    The course will include both lecture and hands-on exercises. The goal is for attendees to take away tools and strategies to bring this conversation to their teams and departments.
