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.

Bad actors have recognized the power of open source and are now beginning to create their own attack opportunities. This new form of assault, where OSS project credentials are compromised and malicious code is intentionally injected into open-source libraries, allows hackers to poison the well. In this session, Sonatype will explain how both security and developers must work together to stop this trend or risk losing the entire open-source ecosystem.

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.
