Today’s networks and IT teams are challenged by the soaring numbers of mobile and IoT devices and apps. Learn how data science, AI and a modern microservices cloud architecture can deliver the agility, scale and reliability that businesses need to succeed. We are transforming user and IT experiences with an AI-Driven Enterprise through proactive automation and relevant insights while ultimately evolving towards a self-driving network. In this session, you’ll learn why three of the Fortune 10 companies, along with thousands of other organizations, are AI-driven wired and wireless networking customers, to deliver new services, assure network performance, and streamline help-desk operations.

With an exponential increase in the volume and velocity of new vulnerabilities, it is no wonder that today's InfoSec and operations teams find it difficult, if not impossible, to meet the increasing demands of remediation. This doesn't even include internal corporate policies or politics which present significant barriers as well. It is not uncommon to discuss a prospective customer's VM program with them, only to find out that they are using spreadsheets to manage the load. They then hand off their "prioritized" workload to a group of admins who are not bound to the same policies or procedures. The average enterprise today has 100's of thousands to millions of vulnerabilities spread across tens of thousands of assets. A great many of these organizations continue to rely on CVSS scoring as the only benchmark. The latest research shows us that if you base your remediation strategy on fixing CVSS 7 or greater, your efforts will yield the same effectiveness as randomly choosing any set of active vulns in your environment to address. It is about 22% effective in either scenario. The purpose of this presentation is to discuss and explore more effective ways to address such challenges and roadblocks. In particular, how does a practitioner better prioritize and communicate with their various internal colleagues to improve their workflow and posture?

Managing elevated and shared access credentials is one of the biggest challenges facing complex heterogeneous organizations today. Administrators must be able to access the systems they manage with sufficient rights to do their jobs, but organizations must control that access to ensure security and regulatory compliance. The days of administrators sharing accounts and passwords and operating without auditing are gone (or they should be).

Large enterprises face unique challenges. They too must control the use of elevated privileges, but they need to find ways to enhance authentication for these accounts to meet mandates while still enabling administrators to administer. Even with multifactor authentication to “check out” a privileged account or session, we still need to take steps to mitigate potential account compromises--making sure the admin that authenticated today is still who they say they are. We’ve come to the point where we need to continuously analyze administration by watching normal behavior and comparing it to current behavior – with real-time in-line remediation to add a powerful layer of risk mitigation.

The digital business is here, and networking is fundamental to its success! The modern enterprise demands agility, scalable and resilient connectivity, and inherent network security - but without the complexity of traditional networking. Advances in networking technology - being driven through standards bodies such as the IEEE and IETF - have dramatically simplified the design, build and operation of the network; delivering automation while at the same time improving security and stability.

Learn from Jamie Eubank, Solutions Architect with over 20 years of experience in large scale, mission critical, campus and sporting event architectures. Specializing in Shortest Path Bridging 802.1aq, Wi-Fi technology (CWNE) and Security Architectures (CISSP/CEH) on new standard-based approaches to network design to help you:

• Deliver new digital technology and applications to your users & customers faster
• Avoid lengthy maintenance windows for network moves, adds and changes
• Contain breaches and prevent lateral movements through end to end segmentation
• Improve the performance and scale of your most demanding applications (video surveillance, video distribution, patient telemetry systems, etc.)
• Improve stability and simplify troubleshooting

Modern business requires modern business tools. These tools should be well integrated and help to serve employees be more collaborative and efficient. They should be deployed in a way that is not only cost effective but create value for the business. We will highlight a case study of a local business that dramatically transformed their business by moving from an on prem phone system, to a cloud based Unified Communications platform.

Presented by Check Point

Securing the public cloud requires a different approach than what was required historically. We need to not only utilize a different design and tools but also shift the security focus to the user and not the location of a device.

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.

The transformative power of deep learning is being applied to every aspect of our lives-- from speech recognition and cancer imaging to autonomous driving cars. Deep learning is the security weapon of the future as attackers evolve their techniques using sophisticated malicious, morphing malware variants created at unprecedented volume and velocity. In fact, deep learning neural networks can learn and intelligently make decisions on malware, even zero days seen for the first time.

In this session, hear about how deep learning has evolved, why advances are possible today, and why it is ideal to address the new threat landscape of automated attacks without having to rely on an army of security analysts. Finally, explore a case study of how a multi-vector, polymorphic variant of the Emotet malware was detected with “deep learning inspection”. Deep dive into how the deep learning models were executed on different phases of the Emotet attack kill chain.
