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:
Presented by Heather Stratford • CEO, Drip7
Cybersecurity education has evolved into its own industry category within IT over the past ten years. Ninety percent of data breaches can be traced back to human error. IT teams around the globe are constantly learning about and implementing new safeguards to use technology as the protection for safeguarding personal data and company information. Addressing the “people factor” of cybersecurity is both more complicated and often difficult for IT teams to successfully navigate.
Heather calls Spokane home and is a national thought-leader in the IT Training and Cybersecurity field. She is the founder and CEO of Stronger International and more recently Drip7 — a microlearning platform for cybersecurity education. She has helped a wide range of clients with cyber and compliance education from General Motors, Stanford, SABIC, MultiCare, and Deloitte. Heather regularly gives keynote speeches, writes articles, and is frequently asked to comment on National cybersecurity topics. She has a passion for including more diversity and women in cybersecurity and entrepreneurial start-ups. Heather is a National Tory Burch fellow, graduate of the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses Program, received the Women in Business Leadership Award, and is an adjunct professor at Whitworth University in their MBA program. She has 5 children, loves to travel and waterski, and has recently shifted from mountain biking to riding motorcycles.

Mobile workforces were already an increasing trend in business even before we all had to deal with sending our teams home during the pandemic. As many of us work through our return to office plans with hope in our hearts, it is clear that the remote work trend has intensified and will likely continue to do so in the future.
Remote work has challenged traditional security approaches and forced us to think harder about how we can best support the changing nature of work. Thankfully, many of the technology, process, and people changes needed to support remote workers have significant benefits in our overall security posture.
For this session, we’ll talk about trends our security operations center saw in remote work environments and their impact on security operations, discuss theories around how to plan and support these workers, and talk about technology approaches that may help your organization support these workers better while improving your overall security posture.

Security and compliance teams both strive to design, establish, and enforce controls to protect an organization. But even with shared goals in place, security and compliance teams often manage business risk in relative isolation. So how can these teams set aside tension and work better together to create a winning alliance?
In this session, we explore the key differences between security and compliance initiatives. It’s crucial to understand that being fully compliant doesn’t necessarily mean an organization is fundamentally secure. We’ll cover how the two initiatives complement each other when it comes to minimizing risk and how both teams can collaborate to create efficiencies. Attendees will learn how to leverage compliance policies to set the foundation to a robust information security program, while providing true visibility and coverage, consolidating toolsets, and reducing costs. Lastly, we’ll discuss how to ensure that a successful security program can help organizations prepare for an upcoming audit to ultimately achieve and maintain continuous compliance.

Adoption of cloud services and the explosive increase in mobile and IoT devices have driven enterprises to transform both their WAN and security architectures – not just one or the other. The strategic imperative is to deploy a more intelligent, highly automated software-defined wide area network (WAN) that can be seamlessly integrated with modern cloud-delivered security services. Gartner coined the term “secure access service edge” (SASE) to describe this cloud-first architecture. During this session, Aruba and Silver Peak will discuss:

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:
Presented by Jerry Petru • President, InfraGard State of Washington Chapter
Join this research-based, high-level session with a twist of humor, on the challenges all businesses face today. This will not be a live demo or hands-on how-to, but rather is designed to arm attendees with information as a takeaway and allow for rumination on what can be done better in their environment.
Hacking activity is at an all-time high as home cloud & Covid-19 remote working has become the standard. Where are you in your cloud journey? Automating in silos will never simplify organizational transformation. Relevant for Key Stakeholders of Business Units, CSOs, CISOs, CEOs, IT management, and support roles in networking and security backgrounds, this discussion will cover bad hygiene and password complexity.

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.

Over the past couple of decades, we’ve relied on a certain predictable and repeatable model of expectations from our infrastructure that has delivered. However, the demands of Digital Transformation, the pace of change, the capabilities within our teams — and of course the pandemic — have created business pressures that traditional ways of building and security infrastructure just can’t keep pace with.
The time is now to reflect, reset, and embrace a different way that will increase agility and flexibility as well as enhance performance and security. Lose the baggage of the past, travel light, and let’s chart a course for the journey ahead.

A few months ago, the U.S. White House released cybersecurity executive order 14028, an attempt by the United States government to use its purchasing power to create positive changes to the way cybersecurity is addressed around the world.
Recent high-profile breaches like the Colonial Pipeline ransomware attack or the SolarWinds software supply chain attack have shown that our cybersecurity defenses are woefully inadequate. This executive order forces a higher standard of cybersecurity for any organization selling software to the federal government, which in turn makes it the de facto global standard for all software in the future.
Tidelift CEO and co-founder Donald Fischer shares his perspective on how the cybersecurity executive order impacts software supply chain security. He’ll brief attendees on the key issues addressed by the executive order, including software bill of materials (SBOM), supply chain security, and provenance requirements. He’ll outline the gaps that most organizations will need to close to stay in compliance. And he’ll share a proactive approach to addressing open-source software supply chain health and security upstream.
If you want to ensure your organization is fully prepared for the coming changes, you won’t want to miss this session.
