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.

As nimble organizations deliver new innovations, adversaries are also upping their game; something we’ve seen in recent high-profile and devastating cyber-attacks. Bad actors have the intent and ability to exploit security vulnerabilities in the software supply chain – and in some cases plant vulnerabilities themselves. They have increased scale through automation and improved breach success through precision targeting. If we don’t fight back by doing the same – automating security directly in the DevOps pipeline – then we’ll always be at the hackers’ mercy. This session will provide new research on the above and details on how to get started.
Key takeaways:

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.

Presented by Critical Start
The experts agree: there isn’t nearly enough cyber security talent out there. But what if all the experts, news stories, conference talks, and board room conversations are wrong? What if there is more than enough cyber security talent to get organizations what they need to be successful, secure, and in a reasonable budget? In this presentation, Critical Start’s Senior Security Consultant, Alex Humphrey, will discuss ways to hire, train, and retain great cyber security talent, move business objectives forward, and keep the organization secure – all without breaking the bank.
Presented by Optiv
The ever-increasing pace and pressure for developers to ship code aren’t going to slow, and within many organizations, security is often an afterthought. The impact is products that have security bolted on at the end, impacting user experience, frustrating developers and security engineers, all while leaving security vulnerabilities open for exploiting. Organizations must find ways to meet security requirements while not causing the development teams to get bogged down and delay code delivery.
Ed Lewis, Orchestration and Automation Practice Director at Optiv, will share strategies and approaches his clients use to address common DevSecOps challenges such as poor security collaboration between siloed teams, scaling secrets management, limited automation, tool and process redundancies, and more.
