When searching for vulnerable targets, cyber hackers do not care how big or small your company is. As world events continue to unfold in China and Russia, cyber warfare has become a national threat to American companies.
Join Arctic Wolf’s session to learn how IT leaders can be proactive, rather than reactive to protect their companies from cyber hackers.

If an attack happens and it makes it all the way to your data, then they have already broken through all of your walls. Where your data lives IS your last line of defense, which is why the Armed Forces that protects the USA trusts Hitachi to protect them. Prevention is great and all but without that last line of defense, you’re a sitting duck. Attend this session to learn how Hitachi serves as your last line of defense against ransomware attacks.

Migrating to the M365 relieves many burdens from IT administrators – fewer servers to manage, no more patching, fewer arguments with the network team over whose fault that latest outage is. Unfortunately, M365 still operates under a shared responsibility model and part of your team’s responsibility is ensuring appropriate security controls are in place.
In this session, we will discuss general security around M365. We will cover some of the major security settings that always require attention and discuss some others that may need to be tailored to your specific environment.

Despite consistent increases in security spending, ransomware remains an ever-growing threat to businesses. Surprisingly, the ransomware itself, the malware that does the encryption, is only a part of a larger, equally dangerous, attack chain. Considering the entire chain offers defenders more opportunities to thwart the attack before mass encryption can occur.
In this session, we’ll provide details on how microsegmentation can prevent adversarial techniques that precede and follow the deployment of ransomware itself. By turning our attention to the entire kill chain, a path towards minimizing the likelihood, impact, and recovery time of ransomware becomes clear.
In this session you will learn:

Many organizations collect data and use it for a variety of purposes. Often the data is gathered, contained, processed, and reported from a single system. It lacks the holistic view of looking at data from an enterprise perspective. Only if data is viewed with an enterprise lens, insights can be gained. This insight allows organizations to make decisions whether to detect, mitigate, and prevent issues, or increase market share, improve customer satisfaction, and deliver other positive outcomes. This talk will focus on addressing how to use data from disparate systems for organizational good and, in higher education, how this typically translates to improved student success and experience.
Dr. Pillay was recently named ORBIE CIO of the Year in the enterprise category for organizations with over $800 million in annual revenue. Pillay was recognized at the 2022 CIO of the Year® ORBIE® Awards in June.
Dr. Pillay is the recipient of NASA’s Exceptional Service Medal and the Outstanding Leadership Medal. He is also the recipient of the Presidential Rank Award recognizing him as a Meritorious Executive in the U.S. federal government. He was recognized as one of the Federal 100 winners based on his positive impact on NASA and the community. He was also named as one of the top 25 IT leaders in Government citing his technology vision, clout among peers in other agencies, and his ability to show concrete results. The Northeast Ohio Software Association recognized him as the CIO of the Year in 2008.

Ransomware attacks continue to rise in volume, severity, and costs to businesses attacked while cyber criminals continue inventing new and unexpected methods to spread malware and encrypt critical data. As attacks continue to specialize, no organization is immune to ransomware. So how do you avoid being forced to pay a ransom, disruptions to services and supply chains, and damage to your brand in the news? Join recovery and data protection experts from Zerto to discuss best practices for when – not if – ransomware strikes. Be prepared to minimize downtime, data loss, and mitigate the risks of ransomware. In this session, you’ll learn:

Multi-Cloud. A new buzzword? Or a path of digital transformation on which many have unknowingly already embarked?
During this session, we will explore the definition of “Multi-Cloud”, the maturity level of various providers – including your private cloud(s), and the competencies required to manage mission-critical applications in these cloud(s). We will review multiple migration and consumption models as well as business outcomes. The move to Multi-Cloud deployment is a strategy generally explored for greater efficiency, greater flexibility, and reduced complexity. However, these deployments often include increased compliance and security requirements, potentially additional cost, and certainly a new skill set which may not exist within your organization. We will explore these topics and more in our discussion on migrating a data center to a Multi-Cloud environment.

Securing connected resources and the different pieces of a distributed network can be challenging. Join this session to explore the advantages of using a ZTNA architecture to provide secure, application-based access over the traditional VPN access most enterprises use today. We’ll also examine how employing Gartner’s Cybersecurity Mesh Architecture can simplify Network and Security operations.

This presentation will discuss the difficulties of becoming and staying compliant with Payment Card Industry (PCI) requirements. The venerable version 3.2.1 is well on the way to retirement, and the updated Data Security Standard (DSS) 4.0 is loaded with numerous changes and enhancements that must be complied with. Whether you are just beginning with PCI for your organization or have many years of experience, there are many challenges — both old and new — that can create roadblocks to compliance. With emerging technologies such as zero-trust architecture ready for implementation, find out how to best use these controls for your organizational goals. The presentation will cover the requirements, trouble areas to be aware of, and how you can utilize specific technology in your compliance effort.
