[1 CPE] Translating Real-World Scenarios into Impactful Incident Response Training

  Presented by Don Pecha, CISO, and Arturo Romero, Cloud Security Architect • FNTS

The probability of an IT incident happening in your organization is not “if” but “when.”

Social engineering, insider risks, data leaks, equipment failure, and exploits are among the long list of real-world incidents facing today’s enterprises. Do you have a plan in place to prevent and respond to threats that could result in downtime, disruption, and lost revenue?

FNTS Chief Information Security Officer Don Pecha and Cloud Security Architect Arturo Romero will discuss how to build cyber resiliency strategies that include having a cyber incident response training plan and multiple security layers to protect and secure IT platforms from different types of threats.

[1 CPE] Disaster Preparedness and Data Protection Strategies for Business Continuous Availability

  Presented by Arcserve

As natural disasters like hurricanes, wildfires, and severe winter events become more frequent and intense, businesses face increasing economic and operational challenges. High-profile disasters, including the Camp Fire in 2018, which incurred a staggering $16.5 billion in damages, and Hurricane Maria’s profound impact on Puerto Rico, estimated at $139 billion for full recovery, underscore the escalating financial stakes.

This presentation will explore effective strategies to bolster business resilience in the face of natural catastrophes.

Key elements of the session will include:

  • Critical insights from Arcserve’s annual global research study on disaster preparedness.
  • A comprehensive Disaster Preparedness Checklist tailored for companies.
  • Practical tools designed to safeguard business operations and data resilience.

We will delve into the details of a 5-step disaster and ransomware recovery plan template, as well as the 3-2-1-1 backup strategy, which ensures robust data recovery through multiple backup copies stored both locally and offsite. By implementing these strategies, businesses can minimize financial losses, reduce operational downtime, and achieve a rapid recovery, thereby ensuring continuity even during catastrophic events. This session aims to arm business leaders with the essential tools and knowledge to safeguard their enterprises amidst an increasingly unpredictable global landscape.

[1 CPE] Could You Recover from a Cyberattack?

  Presented by Jeff Polczynski, Director of Solutions Architecture • 11:11 Systems

Cybercrime continues to be the number one worry for most organizations, and for good reason. Cyberattacks are the most common reason for an outage — and the most impactful. But defending against cyberattacks is only one part of a holistic plan for surviving a ransomware attack. Could you recover if cyber criminals targeted your organization?

During our presentation, we’ll discuss how to create a holistic cyber resilience strategy that considers ongoing technical drift and changes.

[1 CPE] Enhancing Cyber Resilience: Integrating AI Strategies

  Presented by Dr. Cheryl Cooper, CISSP, President, & Naeem Babri, Vice President • WiCyS Kansas City

The convergence of business continuity, information security, and organizational resilience forms the cornerstone of cyber resilience, enabling entities to prevent, endure, and recover from cyber threats. This presentation delves into the enhancement of ransomware resilience, with a spotlight on fortifying the Lockheed Martin Cyber Kill Chain. Amidst the escalating prevalence of ransomware, which inflicts substantial financial and operational harm, the presentation will outline strategies to strengthen defenses. The emphasis will be on preemptive actions and incident management, covering backups, recovery processes, containment, and the imperative of employee training on phishing and secure password practices.

Looking ahead, the session will explore the emerging threat of AI-driven ransomware attacks and discuss strategies for future-proofing networks against these sophisticated threats.

There will be three main deliverables:

  1. A comprehensive guide to implementing the Lockheed Martin Cyber Kill Chain for ransomware threat mitigation.
  2. A strategic playbook for integrating artificial intelligence in cyber defense mechanisms.
  3. An actionable framework for employee education and incident response to enhance organizational cyber resilience.

[1 CPE] How to Build a High Confidence Cyber Recovery Plan

  Presented by Bharath Nagaraj, Sr Technical Field Director  • Cohesity

In an era where data is both a prime asset and a target, the global cybercrime cost is expected to soar to $10.5 trillion USD by 2025, with ransomware attacks becoming more frequent. Despite this, 80% of organizations doubt their cyber resilience strategies. The importance of being prepared for “black swan” cyber events, which exploit new vulnerabilities and can cause overwhelming damage, is highlighted. Cohesity emphasizes the role of Generative AI in bolstering a company’s security by automating threat detection, ensuring compliance, and promoting collaboration across departments. This approach not only mitigates risks but also aligns with strategic IT resilience planning. In an upcoming discussion led by Cohesity’s Senior Technical Field Director, Bharath Nagaraj, insights into overcoming large organizational challenges, effective response strategies, stakeholder roles, and steps for integrating cyber resilience into IT strategies will be explored, aiming to instill confidence in recovery without succumbing to ransoms.
