Organizations spend more money on cyber security tools every year, yet the number of breaches and the cost of these breaches continues to increase. A new approach is needed that relies on autonomous analysis that can respond at machine speed. By embracing automation, AI, and big data analytics, organizations can better prevent threats, find, and detect what is missed, provide contextual linking for forensic and threat hunting ¬– and even more importantly – self-heal and fully recover when necessary.

Robust and secured internet connectivity is essential to delivering on the promises of hybrid work. From defining the scope of experience across the workforce to protecting privileged and administrative access, evolved technologies and protective measures are required from the browser to the cloud. This session will help you understand how security at the edge combined with robust application access management and secured browser solutions enable the security outcomes essential to hybrid work.

In the immediate aftermath of a ransomware attack, executives too often face a difficult dilemma: either pay a ransom or shut down critical systems and services. In today’s increasingly complex digital ecosystems, the collateral damage that ensues from ransomware attacks can be broad-ranging and destructive, with organizations taking days, weeks, or even months to recover.

But what if there was another way out – a way to surgically contain ransomware in its earliest stages, without disrupting normal business operations? Join this presentation to learn how Cyber AI is helping thousands of organizations fight back against ransomware. We’ll discuss:

• The impact of ‘double-extortion’ ransomware and ‘ransomware-as-a-service’
• Real-world examples of ransomware detected by Cyber AI
• How self-learning AI responds proportionately to ransomware, thanks to its deep understanding of an organization’s pattern of life

In the summer of 2020, as the world isolated from a pandemic, threat actors began targeting schools, hospitals, and critical public agencies with ransomware. In April of 2020, as the world transitioned overnight to telework, our agency became one of their early targets. In this case study, audiences will trace the attack and response, gain an understanding of the impact of a ransomware attack, learn about the recovery process, and explore commonalities that will allow them to apply our “lessons learned” to their own operations.

Unfortunately, ransomware is here to stay. Ransomware attacks are becoming more profitable, and ransomware-as-a-service operations continue to lower the barriers of entry for more cybercriminals to launch attacks.

Major attacks like Colonial Pipeline have put ransomware in the spotlight, but it’s not enough to simply be aware of ransomware. Security and IT professionals need to take action and be ahead of the curve to prevent ransomware.

Matt Warner, CTO and co-founder of Blumira, a threat detection and response provider, will discuss what security teams should arm themselves with to win the battle against ransomware. He’ll cover:

• An overview of the current ransomware threat landscape
• Security tools and methods to have in your arsenal to detect signs of ransomware
• Suspicious activity to look for in each step of the ransomware kill chain
• How leaning into IT security fundamentals can prevent ransomware outbreaks

Matt has over 10 years of experience in IT and development, focusing on business strategy, development, compliance, threat detection, and penetration testing. Previously, he was Director of Security Services, Development & Security at NetWorks Group, responsible for defensive information security and services.

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.
