[1 CPE] Dark Web Monitoring: It’s time for an Offensive Strategy!

  Presented by Jeff Simpson, Sr Sales Executive, Cybersecurity Solutions • AT&T Alaska

Many organizations discover a cybersecurity breach many months later, too late for any substantial mitigation. With the average cost of breaches in the US at $9.4M, (without including ransom paid), it is advisable for organizations to take a more offensive stance. What if there was a way to detect compromised corporate credentials well before they were used to cause widespread fraud? Dark Web Monitoring goes where cybercriminals traffic stolen emails, usernames, and passwords, and can alert an organization if personal or corporate user information shows up in the Darknet layers. Learn how using a tool like this can help protect an organization’s employees, consumers, and vendors, as well as its reputation.

[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] 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.

[1 CPE] Incident Response & Recovery: What to do Before, During, & After the Storm

  Presented by Collin Miller • Director of Cloud Security, Structured

Responding to a security incident requires preparation, planning, and processes. When that incident occurs in a cloud environment such as Azure, not all organizations are equipped to respond. The shared responsibility model, rapid rate of change, high degree of automation, and new security tools and technologies all present challenges and opportunities when responding to incidents in the cloud. Protect your organization’s information, applications, and reputation by learning to develop an incident response infrastructure to prepare, detect, analyze, contain, eradicate, recover, and learn from security incidents when they occur. This presentation will focus on Azure environments, but many of the lessons learned are applicable across the major cloud service providers.

Collin Miller has over two decades of experience in networking and IT security. In 2015 he hiked over 2,600mi on the Pacific Crest Trail from the Mexican border into Canada. His security journey has seen him working with a wide array of cybersecurity technologies including network security, securing mobile devices, and data loss prevention. His current area of focus is cloud security.

[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.

Presented by Steve Kleis, Principle Sales Engineer

Over the past 20 years, I’ve been fortunate to know many business owners and be part of their IT management strategy. As a trusted advisor I worked to understand their business needs and design solutions that were fast and reliable. I have extensive experience with data backup, disaster recovery (DRaaS), business continuity, cloud storage, ransomware, and Network Attached Storage (NAS).

Currently, I am a sales engineer for Arcserve/Storagecraft supporting the North Central territory. As a member of a sales team, we work to help our customers protect what’s priceless, their data.
