The evolution of cybercrime coupled with digitalization has transformed our concepts of business assets and customer interaction. An organization's data and online presence is more important than ever. In cybersecurity terms, this increases the attack surface and increases the impact of a breach, making it a business level problem.

Digitalization continues to drive rapid changes in business models and network architectures. On the other hand, it also drives change in how cybercriminals operate by harvesting data and launching automated attacks at scale. However, security approaches have largely stayed the same, relying on reactive policy management, disparate technologies, point solutions and complex workflows. This is apparent as organizations continue to suffer data breaches as they struggle to integrate data, point solutions, security operations teams and processes.

Dispersed networks, an explosion of data, disparate technologies and complex security operations present cybercriminals with gaps or "seams" in organizations' security postures. Fighting this requires a coordinated and collaborative approach that seamlessly orchestrates best-of-breed people, process and technology. This must utilize industry standard best practices and be powered by visibility across the threat landscape as well as actionable threat intelligence across all threat vectors.

In this session, we will talk about some security best practices to address modern security challenges and provide an overview of some technology as well as process approaches.

Why have a CMDB? What is needed to build one? How do I maintain one? Why do CMDB projects sometimes fail or end up incomplete? What are the major best practices? What pitfalls should I avoid? The concept of CMDBs has been around for over a decade now. Some CMDB projects are successful. Some fail, are abandoned, or never really get there. This presentation first revisits the value of spending the effort to establish a functional and reliable CMDB. We then discuss a road map, practical best practices, pitfalls and do’s and don’ts in order to successfully establish a reliable and maintainable CMDB.

It seems every day, we are bombarded with news of yet another breach and our personal information being traded and sold on the dark web/Internet. We lose sleep wondering if we have the right controls and policies in place to prevent our companies and our names from appearing in the next morning's headlines. Is it time for a different approach? What if we could get rid of our network so we no longer had to define complex boundaries and policies? Is it really possible to architect a system that removes all the traditional ingress and egress points? If we resign ourselves to the fact that it's not IF but WHEN our network gets breached…then why do we still have a network?

The use of IoT devices is proliferating in every industry, and with this growth comes risk—reports of IoT attacks increased 600 percent from 2016 to 2017. You must take a zero-trust approach to network security. You must develop a strategy that only allows "good behavior" rather than just defending against bad behavior and yesterday's threats. It is critical that your network security and zero-trust strategies encompass your IoT devices as well. Learn about the technology and practices that will help you sleep at night.

Adoption of cloud services has driven enterprises to re-think WAN architecture. Architectures based on traditional, manually-programmed routers can't keep pace. A business-driven SD-WAN can provide secure direct connections from the branch to SaaS/IaaS across the internet, significantly increasing application performance resulting in a superior end-user QoEx (Quality of Experience). By integrating SD-WAN, WAN optimization, routing and security in a single unified platform, enterprises can simplify branch WAN edge architecture, accelerating time to value and dramatically reducing operational costs. From a centralized SD-WAN orchestrator, application priorities and QoS and security policies may be configured and assigned to automate traffic handling across the WAN. A single mouse click distributes SD-WAN configuration parameters to all sites, improving operational efficiency and minimizing the potential for human errors that can negatively impact application availability and enterprise security. This session will describe why SD-WAN adoption continues at a breakneck pace because of the user productivity, agility and cost savings benefits that a business-driven SD-WAN delivers.

We are living in a "Less is More" world. IT Professionals are facing more work, projects, and risks than ever before, while having less time and money, and a rapidly decreasing tolerance of downtime. While external threats such as malware and natural disasters are prevalent and may cause significant downtime and data loss without the proper BCDR strategies, organizations must also be prepared to safeguard from within. Data continues to grow at an exponential rate, and not only on-premises. As cloud-delivered solutions such as IaaS and SaaS are rapidly adopted by an increasing number of organizations, these organizations must also consider their data protection strategies to address native gaps within these platforms. Join Adam Marget, Technical Demand Generation Specialist, Unitrends, as we'll explore the evolving landscape of data protection, cloud's growing role, BC/DR strategies to safeguard local and cloud-based workloads, and best practices in planning your DR approach.

In today's always-on, information-driven organizations, business continuity depends completely on IT infrastructures that are up and running 24/7. Being prepared for any data related disaster is key!

• The cost and business impact of downtime and data loss can be immense
• Data loss is not only caused by natural disasters, power outages, hardware failure and user errors, but more and more by software problems and cyber security related disasters
• Having a plan and process in place will help you mitigate the impact of an outage on your business

In this presentation we will address the challenges, needs, strategies, and solutions.

All organizations have assets — the valuable resources needed to function as an effective business. And Although it might not appear on your balance sheet, data is one of the most valuable assets an organization owns and, like all assets, must be identified, created and maintained.

"Information assets" should take advantage of clearly defined goals, roles and responsibilities, business processes and ownership. In this presentation, we will outline the three concrete steps your organization can follow to realize the tangible benefits of this highly valuable corporate asset and discuss how to derive value from your data at multiple points in the journey to becoming a data-centric organization.

Today's modern operating systems, like iOS and Android, are designed for ubiquitous and wireless access from anywhere in the world and have very different use cases and security requirements compared with traditional PCs and servers. Mobile devices are on and connected 24/7, and often owned and managed by individuals, dramatically increasing the attack surface relative to PCs. Malicious hackers have shifted much of their attention to these new operating systems that may provide a direct link into large companies with valuable assets worth stealing. Today, their methods are less focused on broad and annoying attacks on consumers and more on targeted attacks on specific individuals in specific organizations who have the right access levels to high-value assets. Well-researched social engineering exploits, combined with system vulnerabilities, make these attacks highly effective, even against smart and educated individuals. Solutions exist that protect companies from mobile cyber-attacks by securing mobile devices, whether owned by the company or the individual, from the entire landscape of mobile threats-including malware, network-based threats, vulnerability exploits and other targeted attacks, without changing the mobile user experience, compromising user privacy or adding extra burden to IT. Today we will discuss the Mobile Threat Landscape, show an example of what a Mobile Threat looks like, and discuss best practices to protect your Mobile Data.

In a perfect world, your organization would staff a 24x7 Security Operation Center, and have no trouble finding the budget or talent to do so. But the truth is, most organizations can't afford a 24x7 SOC. The cost of having well-trained analysts onsite at all times outweighs the benefits.

If your organization is making do with an informal Security Operation Center, you may be facing delays in responding to incidents. You may even fear that incidents are going unnoticed. It's a dangerous situation.

Organizations need to think of security operations as a critical business process. Effective security operations are the first line of defense when it comes to preventing cyberattacks. To accomplish this, organizations need mature programs that leverage people, processes, and technology to rapidly detect and respond to sophisticated attacks.

The purpose of this presentation is to provide you guidance and a framework that you can apply to building, assessing, and maintaining your security operations center to ensure its success throughout the business lifecycle.
