[1 CPE] Cyber Security: A National Threat

  Presented by Arctic Wolf

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.

[1 CPE] Zero-Trust Architectures

  Presented by Rubrik

Organizations have invested heavily in IT security, attempting to fortify their perimeter, network, endpoint, and application protections. Despite these investments, hackers are successfully penetrating these defenses and targeting enterprise data, including backup data. Ransomware is starting to specifically target online backups by encrypting or deleting them. If your organization was the target of an attack today, how do you know what data was impacted and where? Manually sifting through millions of files and comparing each snapshot consumes FTE time and prolongs recovery exponentially. Mass restores of the entire environment could mean high data loss and weeks’ worth of work down the drain. In this session, we will discuss how to protect your last line of defense, the backups. We will walk through the anatomy of a recovery, the best practices, and advanced tools to ensure you will not have to pay a ransom, and how to quickly recover your data to continue business operations.

[1 CPE] Breaking the Ransomware Attack Chain

  Presented by Akamai

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:

  • Practical steps you can take to disrupt the kill chain before ransomware can be deployed
  • How to leverage AI to map complex environments and expedite the path towards policy enforcement that drastically reduces the impact of ransomware
  • How advancements in host-based segmentation are helping businesses achieve an infrastructure that enables rapid remediation of ransomware events without disrupting business operations

[1 CPE] Data Protection and Disaster Recovery with a Multi-Cloud Mindset

  Presented by Cerium Networks

Explore concepts to help successfully utilize multi-cloud environments to provide cohesive backup and disaster recovery strategies. As we move to new architectures and the capabilities they provide, how do we account for compliance, data protection, and daily operations without the management chaos? Learn some key topics to ponder while moving into the new multi-cloud environments for storage, networking, governance, and compliance.

[1 CPE] Who’s Attacking You?

  Presented by Critical Insight

One of the most common questions from IT Leaders and Executives is: Who would attack our organization and why?

In this discussion, we’ll examine the most common cyberattack perpetrators and their methods. From hostile Nation-States to teenagers to some threat actors you might not expect. We will discuss the methods these attackers are using to gain access to your networks, be it unpatched systems, newly found zero days, as well as other avenues into your network. Also covered will be the intent of these attacks, whether it is to steal your intellectual property, extort your cryptocurrency, or to disrupt your operation to meet strategic goals. Most importantly, we will discuss how to tell the difference, and how to protect yourself.

[1 CPE] Disrupting the Means to Prevent the End: A Guide to Detecting Ransomware

  Presented by Red Canary

Ransomware has been a dominant cybersecurity threat for the better part of the last decade. However, it doesn’t walk alone. It’s almost always the eventual payload delivered by earlier-stage malicious software or activity. Luckily, if you can detect the threats that deliver the ransomware, you can stop the ransomware before it arrives.

In this talk, we’ll extensively reference Red Canary’s 2022 Threat Detection Report, examining the malware and other malicious tools that adversaries often use to deliver ransomware. While the specific trojans and strains of ransomware may change from one attack to the next, adversary tactics, techniques, and procedures are often similar across campaigns and threats. By developing robust detection coverage for the techniques adversaries abuse most often, rather than focusing on individual threats, security teams can achieve defense-in-depth against the many threats that leverage those techniques and the broader trends that dominate the infosec landscape.

Want to learn more about the prevalent adversary techniques and threats that can lead to a ransomware infection? Attendees will leave with:

  • A better understanding of the threats and tools that commonly precede a ransomware infection
  • Guidance on relevant collection and data sources that offer visibility into the threats and techniques that adversaries use to deliver ransomware
  • Actionable information on how security teams can develop the capacity to detect, prevent, and mitigate ransomware and other threats
  • Strategies for testing their ability to observe and detect common threats with free and easy-to-use tools like Atomic Red Team

[1 CPE] Singularity XDR

  Presented by SentinelOne

[1 CPE] How Search-Powered Technologies Drive Cyber Outcomes

  Presented by Elastic

There is no magic bullet in security. Yet many best practices adopted by enterprises across the globe have been proven to allow organizations to mitigate risk and mature their security posture. During this session, you will learn about common trends and challenges in cybersecurity and what organizations are doing to keep up and be ready for the future.

[1 CPE] Immutable Storage: Level-Up Ransomware Readiness

  Presented by Arcserve

Data is expected to grow to 200 ZB by the end of 2025. More data to manage, more data to protect. IDC recommends a 3-2-1-1 best practice as a mid-market data protection strategy. The addition of the new “1” is a copy of the data on immutable storage. Backup data is a key tool in business continuity & disaster recovery planning. Securing this backup data and maintaining multiple copies of it allow for a resilient recovery plan. Your cyber security plan is incomplete without a reliable recovery plan. In the event of any disaster, natural or man-made, like a ransomware attack, getting your IT systems and workloads back on their feet as fast as possible is essential. Join us as we share best practices to help keep your data protected and secure with multiple layers of defenses. We will share our perspective on how organizations can simplify the approach of incorporating guidance from NIST’s Cybersecurity Framework into their own environments.
