The Top 5 Challenges for Desktop and App Virtualization

  Presented by Bitdefender

Businesses with large office or task-based workforces are increasingly moving to application and desktop virtualization. This is because virtualization technologies, both applications and virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI), offer IT organizations and their end users an array of choices in accessing applications and desktops. And, as organizations adopt digital workspaces, they naturally expect a higher-quality user experience. Unfortunately, virtualization brings both new and unique security challenges with it.

This presentation will cover the top challenges that enterprises face and will cover suggestions to identify a security solution that complements your virtualization initiatives and makes both the Infosec team and users happy.

Digital to Physical: Real-World Impact of Security Risks in Industries Using IIoT

  Presented by Trend Micro

This presentation will talk about research on radio remote controllers used in industrial settings, and how they can be used for attacks in this environment. This will shed light on how a cyberattack can inflict physical damage or harm. The goal is to inspire the audience to think outside the box in terms of what can be compromised and impose a sense of urgency in the IoT/IIoT security space.

A New Era of Data Protection: Converged DR and Backup

  Presented by Zerto

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.

Innovation and Evolution: BC/DR for Today’s Multi-Cloud Environments

  Presented by Unitrends

We are living in a “Less is More” world. In a landscape that’s rapidly changing, IT professionals are managing more work, projects, and risk than ever before. While external threats such as malware and natural disasters cause significant downtime and data loss without proper BCDR implementation, 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, and the workforce itself is becoming increasingly dispersed and mobile, organizations must consider data protection strategies to address gaps in BC/DR outside the traditional data center. Join Adam Marget, Technical Specialist from Unitrends, as we explore the evolving landscape of data protection, cloud’s growing role, BC/DR strategies to safeguard local, remote, and cloud-based workloads, and best practices in planning your DR approach.

The Current Malware Threat Landscape & Enterprise Grade Remediation

  Presented by Malwarebytes

Malware has become one of the biggest threat challenges faced by security and IT teams. Malwarebytes Labs conducts extensive proprietary research and analysis. The findings are periodically published to help security teams better understand the nature and evolution of these threats.

This presentation will cover key findings from our newly released annual report. It will highlight malware category trends and discuss new and emerging threats to be on the watch for. There will also be a discussion of industry best practices and technologies that can help your business to prevent, detect, and remediate these threats.

Attendees will leave with insight into the current malware threat landscape, as well as an understanding of steps they can take to mitigate breaches.

See More, Do More

  Presented by Blaine Carter • Chief Information Security Officer, Franklin Covey

I often go into situations with certain assumptions, chief of which is that how I see a situation is the way the situation is seen by everyone. This includes interactions with others as well as projects or technologies. From cultural differences to technology experiences, how we see the world is shaped by our own history. I will expand on how to ensure we are looking at situations with a lens that sees more and from other perspectives. I will also give practical advice on ways we can expand our sight as well as expand our influence with others.

Blaine is an IT professional with 20 years of enterprise experience in development, infrastructure, management, and security. He currently works as the Chief Information Security Officer and Data Protection Officer at Franklin Covey where he’s developed a global security and privacy strategy in order to be compliant in an ever-changing security and privacy landscape. He has presented on security and identity access programs internationally.

Blaine has also led the development efforts for multiple SAAS solutions that have helped millions of users develop better success in leadership, time management, and interpersonal relationships. Another solution tracks the NPS of multiple Fortune 500 companies and helped improve brand loyalty.

Adapting to Fight Back: How Cyber AI Neutralizes Never-Before-Seen Threats

  Presented by Darktrace

In a world that is increasingly digital, cyber-attack has become the most significant risk confronting today’s businesses, smart cities, and critical infrastructure. Online crime cost the world more than half a trillion dollars last year, while recent attacks have managed to influence the U.S. presidential election and disrupt the Ukrainian power supply. This troubling state of affairs is the product of several fundamental weaknesses with the traditional approach to cyber defense, which relies on predefining what threats look like at a time when criminals launch never-before-seen attacks daily. Moreover, these attacks increasingly strike at machine-speed, preventing security professionals from responding before their damage is done.
