[1 CPE] Metrics That Matter: Confidence and Resilience in Your Security Program

  Presented by ReliaQuest

CISOs say that what they need most in their security program is the confidence that people, processes, and technology are working and effective, and that controls are in place to ensure resiliency in the case of a major event. “Risk” is the vocabulary of the business, yet measuring and discussing this all-important concept in an actionable way remains a unique challenge. In this session, we will discuss:

  • Actionable risk metrics, both for use inside the security function and with outside stakeholders
  • How the language and awareness of information security risk has evolved
  • How the right metrics will benefit the business and win investment for security

[1 CPE] Situational Awareness Into the Dark Web

  Presented by Check Point Software

In our journey through this session, we take you through the evolution, goals, and motivation of the Dark Web.

[1 CPE] Securing the Hybrid Cloud: Visibility Best Practices

  Presented by Gigamon

With the move to cloud and the multitude of approaches, your ability to effectively monitor and secure workloads gets even more difficult. IT complexity, the rate of change, lack of skills, and organizational silos have made confidently managing security and performance nearly impossible. Visibility is critical. Join us for a discussion of the security considerations for on-prem private, public, and hybrid clouds. You’ll learn best practices and see how a little planning and design can go a long way. Achieve a secure and viable hybrid cloud implementation and get a high return on your investment.

[1 CPE] The Anatomy of a Ransomware Attack

  Presented by Red Canary

In this presentation, we walk through the Anatomy of a Ransomware Attack. Bobby Mazzotti will lead the discussion on best practices and strategies you can apply at your organization. In this webinar, security leaders will learn:

  • How to enhance your team’s abilities to identify security incidents
  • The key components of a ransomware attack
  • Effective ways to improve your security program

[1 CPE] Drive Digital Transformation with Offices of the CIO and CISO Collaboration

  Presented by Secureworks

The last 18 months have seen IT organizations rapidly move workloads to the cloud, support hybrid work, and drive end user adoption of new business applications. But without a robust security structure integrated into these new architectures, companies leave themselves at risk.

In this session, learn first-hand from the partnership between the Offices of the CIO and CISO at Secureworks on how to:

  • Align IT initiatives to security transformation programs
  • Reduce the complexity of implementing new digital initiatives by aligning security models early
  • Protect their organization’s critical data through early threat detection and response

[1 CPE] Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification: Considerations for Compliance

  Presented by MTA Solutions

Everything You Need to Know About CMMC:

In 2007, Chinese hackers successfully targeted a Department of Defense (DoD) subcontractor leading to the creation of a powerful fighter jet. During this cyberattack, the Chinese stole enough data to make their J-20 stealth fighter jet a real threat to the USA. The reality of this attack is that it wasn’t just a one-off event—over $600 billion is lost globally due to cyber theft every year. With that in mind, the DoD knew something needed to change.

Changes to cybersecurity compliance are coming. Before the introduction of the cybersecurity maturity model certification (CMMC), any self-attesting defense contractors could say that they were compliant with specific cybersecurity guidelines—without having to prove it. This not only left room for contractors to become complacent but diminished all compliant defense contractors’ credibility. In short, contractors who were reckless with sensitive information weren’t held accountable—until now.

With the rollout of the CMMC, contracting with the DoD is more specialized than ever—especially if you’re dealing with controlled unclassified information (CUI). But these new guidelines also mean the space will become more lucrative. It’s estimated that 129,810 businesses will likely pursue CMMC certification in the first 5 years.

CMMC boils down to 3 major points:

  1. It’s mandatory. All CMMC requirements will explicitly address what level your company needs to be at to send or receive any future federal agency RFIs and RFPs.
  2. It’s verifiable. Proof of certification will be accessible electronically.
  3. It’s a long-term investment. Many organizations see between 12-18 months of continual effort to complete their compliance projects fully.

Presented by Rob Thurston, Chief Technology Officer at Ampersand, Alaska’s leading technology services provider, attendees will learn about compliance requirements, sustainability, and risks for DoD contractors.

[1 CPE] Real-Time Defender Velocity: Code on Code Warfare

  Presented by SentinelOne

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.

[1 CPE] Security at the Edge of Hybrid Work

  Presented by Citrix Systems

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.

[1 CPE] Ransomware In Focus: How AI Surgically Contains the Threat

  Presented by Darktrace

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
