[1 CPE] Protect Your Applications and Data from Ransomware Threats

  Presented by Airgap Networks

Typical enterprise attack surface has dramatically increased post COVID19. Employees, contractors, and vendors have access to enterprise crown jewels over legacy and insecure VPN technology for their respective home environments. It is no wonder that we are witnessing a rapid increase in cybercrimes in the last 18 months. Is protecting your application and data your top priority? If so, please join us in the session to understand the threat landscape and various technology options to safeguard your assets.

We believe the fundamental issues faced by the organizations relate to excessive trust relationships over VLANs and VPNs. For better security, we must ensure that every transaction is authorized and authenticated, and we must make this happen without the need for a bunch of legwork.

Join us and learn more about our point of view on how you can protect your assets without forklift upgrades. Ritesh Agrawal, Co-Founder and CEO of Airgap Networks, will discuss industry leadership and provide a technology overview, addressing the following:

  • How does the modern Application Access approach compare to the traditional remote access VPN?
  • What’s the best method to deploy and operate Universal Secure Access Solution?
  • How to apply zero trust principles, especially for legacy protocols such as SSH, SMB, WMI, RDP, etc.?
  • What’s the importance of SSO/MFA authentication coupled with intent check?
  • Walkthrough (Demo) real-world use cases across private and public sectors.

Enjoy the INTERFACE event and we look forward to meeting you at the (virtual) booth.

[1 CPE] Ransomware: Who, What, Why & How…

[1 CPE] Immutable Storage: Level-Up Ransomware Readiness

  Presented by Arcserve & StorageCraft

IDC advises that a 3-2-1-1 strategy is the new best practice for effectively protecting customers against ransomware. The last 1 is the important piece of the puzzle, where a copy is also stored on immutable storage. The growing risk of compromise to your customers’ data – specifically via ransomware DEMANDS the most up to date and complete solutions arsenal.

[1 CPE] What Does Identity Mean for Zero Trust? Dare I Say… Everything?

  Presented by Zirous & SailPoint

In recent years initiatives like digital transformation, business agility, and workforce continuity have increasingly forced technical decisions about how and where applications, services, and systems are hosted. As more critical applications and systems move to the cloud, identities and access are sprawled across these environments, making more sensitive data and resources available for exploitation by attackers. Amidst this increased risk and attack surface, Zero Trust has emerged as the paradigm for securing access to protected resources. At the heart of this problem is the need to know who is trying to access what and whether they should be able to, effectively making identity the new perimeter. In this presentation, we discuss how Zero Trust Security really means Identity Security and why IAM practices, like Multifactor Authentication, Identity Governance, and Privileged Access Management, play such a significant role in realizing a successful Zero Trust Security vision.

[1 CPE] Thinking Upstream About White House Cybersecurity Executive Order 14028

  Presented by Tidelift

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.

[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

[1 CPE] Ransomware Resilience: Best Practices to Prepare, Mitigate, and Recover

[1 CPE] The Future of Cyber Education: How to Create a Cybersecurity Culture

  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.

[1 CPE] Cybersecurity Market Trends and MDR

  Presented by Bitdefender

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.
