News of a zero-day vulnerability in the popular open-source project Log4j broke in December, leading many organizations scrambling to figure out the impact on their applications. Nearly every organization developing applications was impacted, and the fallout was so broad that the FTC issued guidance.

Log4Shell comes on the heels of the U.S. White House cybersecurity executive order 14028, an attempt by the United States government to use its purchasing power to create positive changes to the way cybersecurity is addressed around the world.

Recent high-profile breaches like Log4Shell, the Colonial Pipeline ransomware attack, or the SolarWinds software supply chain attack have shown that our cybersecurity defenses are woefully inadequate. This executive order forces a higher standard of cybersecurity for any organization selling software to the federal government, which in turn makes it the de facto global standard for all software in the future.

Tidelift CEO and co-founder Donald Fischer shares his perspective on how the Log4Shell vulnerability and the cybersecurity executive order impact software supply chain security. He’ll brief attendees on the key issues addressed by the executive order, including software bill of materials (SBOM), supply chain security, and provenance requirements. He’ll outline the gaps that most organizations will need to close to stay in compliance. And he’ll share a proactive approach to addressing open-source software supply chain health and security upstream.

If you want to ensure your organization is fully prepared for the coming changes, you won’t want to miss this session.

Businesses today rely heavily on technology and data. Though most organizations have developed strategies to access critical data during an outage caused by natural disasters or power disruptions, these strategies are ineffective during a cyber attack. Interconnected users, servers, cloud devices, and continuous web access results in an environment that is open for cybercriminals to significantly disrupt operations and/or take an entire network hostage.

How can you support the identification and protection of critical data that must be shielded from the impact of cyber attacks, while also enabling rapid recovery to a secure state? Join us to learn how you can automatically store backups in a malware-protected, air-gapped vault or a remote cloud-based solution that safeguards your data’s confidentiality, integrity, and availability. We’ll discuss how you can ensure your data is verified and clean before entering the vault and is maintained in an immutable state while within the vault, significantly reducing recovery time by guaranteeing that you are recovering to a known good state.

This session will cover lessons learned from the State of Texas’ Cybersecurity Program. We will focus on how to prepare for and respond to a cybersecurity attack. There are plenty of low and no-cost options and activities that can help your organization prepare. We will provide additional information and services specifically for governmental entities in the State of Texas, but other organizations will still find value in our approach and how we deal with different types of attacks from Nation-State Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) actors to opportunistic hacktivists.

New strains of ransomware are leaving organizations vulnerable and show no sign of slowing down; security teams are unable to respond proportionately to an attack, leading to cyber disruption across the organization. This can affect all industries including manufacturing, critical infrastructure, healthcare, or any organization like yours and mine.

Join this session to unpack some of 2022’s most advanced ransomware threats and their behavior. Also, you can learn how to fix network flaws from the core for connected OT/IT/IoT, and stop lateral threat movement in every stage of the Cyber Kill Chain. If you have concerns about Zero-Day exploits or are assigned with Zero Trust initiatives, don’t miss this opportunity to learn how you can take autonomous action with 24/7 availability to stop the threat on its track. We’ll discuss:

• Recent ransomware threat trends, including double extortion and RDP attacks in OT and ICS
• How Autonomous Response takes DEFCON action to contain an emerging zero-day attack unattended with Zero Trust policy enforcement
• Real-world examples of ransomware detection through agentless segmentation and containment
