[1 CPE] Go Hack Yourself: War Stories from ~20k Pentests

  Presented by Habibeh Deyhim, Director of Customer Success • Horizon3.ai

In an ecosystem where you know you’re being targeted daily, how can you prove you’re secure? Are you finding and fixing the most critical attack paths, logging the right data, and alerting on the right events? Do you know if you’re ready to respond to an incident and are your security controls configured and integrated correctly? All this effort is supposed to measurably reduce your risk, but is any of it working?

Join Habibeh Deyhim, Director of Customer Success at Horizon3.ai, to learn a proven way to find, fix, and verify that you’re secure. Habibeh will discuss several real-world examples of what autonomous pentesting discovered in networks just like yours. And you’ll hear more about how fast and easy it was to safely compromise some of the biggest (and smallest) networks in the world – with full domain takeover in a little more than a few hours. Learn how you can safely do the same in your own network today!

[1 CPE] Why is Critical Data Being Compromised?

  Presented by Matthew Olive, Partner Solutions Architect • Thales Group

Securing critical data and information was where this industry started a long time ago, but it became more challenging with the rapid growth of enterprise data in an interconnected world. The pandemic forced organizations to support a remote workforce and expose critical systems that were once only accessible from inside the company’s network. We’ve increased the attack surface and the number of vulnerabilities which has led to more data breaches. With the technology advancements in access management, data discovery and encryption we can once again shift the focus to securing our data and information. In this presentation, we will discuss a unified data-centric security approach and strategy to protecting your most critical data and information.

Matt Olive is a data security professional with over 20 years of technical cybersecurity experience. In his role at Thales Cloud Protection & Licensing, Matt is dedicated to providing customers with high-quality data security solutions that address security priorities and make the connected world more secure.

During this session, we’ll be discussing emerging digital security trends and how your peers are shaping the way the market approaches cybersecurity and risk management.

Specifically, we will discuss:

  • How to establish trust across users, devices, and apps that secure a first line of defense
  • How to support the Zero Trust framework through the adoption of Phishing resistant passwordless authentication
