The Rise of the Cyber Attack, How Can We Protect Ourselves?

  Presented by Kenneth A. Schmutz • Supervisory Special Agent, FBI

This presentation will highlight the rise in cyber-attacks coming from criminals, nation state actors, insiders, and terrorists. These attacks include ransomware, business email compromise, data theft, and theft of intellectual property. Supervisory Special Agent Schmutz will discuss ways in which these cyber adversaries are getting into our systems including current investigations being worked by the FBI’s Omaha Cyber Task Force. He will finish by providing ideas and resources that companies have used to reduce their vulnerability to these attacks.

Supervisory Special Agent (SSA) Schmutz graduated from Utah State University with a Bachelors and Masters degree in Information Systems. He worked for 13 years in the private sector for IT companies prior to joining the FBI in 2004. SSA Schmutz investigated computer intrusions his whole career which included his time in Seattle, Chicago and the FBI’s Cyber Division in Washington DC where he focused on cyber threats to the critical infrastructure. In August of 2012, he was transferred to the Omaha Field Division where he serves as the supervisor of the FBI’s Cyber Task Force (CTF).

Responsible Administration: The Admin Insider (Threat)

  Presented by One Identity

System Administrators are critical people to every organization. They design, build, and maintain all the parts and pieces that enable business, whether that’s retail, healthcare, or even a government agency. Ensuring sysadmin tasks are performed as securely as possible without hampering their ability to keep our business running is a delicate balance. These “insiders” not only know how the systems operate but have the credentials and privileges to operate them.

In this session, we will demonstrate an Active Directory breach using pass-the-hash and discuss ways to enable the System Administrators to operate in a way that not only protects the business from threats but also enables them to perform the intricate tasks they accomplish daily to keep business flowing under the covers.

It Ain’t Done ‘Til It’s Automated: Security at the Speed of DevOps

  Presented by Check Point

Companies are rapidly migrating applications and workloads to the cloud. For many this is a Software as a Service for a first option, with migration to public cloud second, and only if necessary will workloads be deployed inside of the legacy data center. This is further complicated by the desire to accelerate the development lifecycle allowing devops to drive the IT migration. InfoSec is playing catchup to the business and devops constant acceleration.

In this session, you will learn strategies and best practices for allowing SecOps to keep up with the Speed of DevOps, as well as fundamental security knowledge applicable for any workload migration to any cloud provider.
