Security Automation in the Cloud

  Presented by Trend Micro

Cloud Computing brings greater simplicity around provisioning and deployment. The challenge is how to properly apply security without creating complexity.

With automation, one can use traditional technical controls to provide comprehensive coverage. This approach is not simply paying “lip service” to compliance requirements.

In this session we will discuss the drivers for such automation and look at what is traditionally considered detective controls in a preventative way.

Active Directory Security: Early Stage Attack Activities to Watch For

  Presented by STEALTHbits Technologies 

Attackers have demonstrated a consistent and ongoing ability to obtain access to workstations inside the network boundary through phishing and other web and email attacks. From here, attackers set their sights on gaining control of Active Directory as a means to an end; compromising Active Directory is an easy way to gain access to all critical corporate data and resources. Darin will discuss two early stage attack activities: LDAP reconnaissance and Password Spraying – that allow attackers to move laterally inside your AD environment. Detection strategies and mitigation steps will also be explained.

Adapting to Fight Back: How Cyber AI Neutralizes Never-Before-Seen Threats

  Presented by Darktrace

In a world that is increasingly digital, cyber-attack has become the most significant risk confronting today’s businesses, smart cities, and critical infrastructure. Online crime cost the world more than half a trillion dollars last year, while recent attacks have managed to influence the U.S. presidential election and disrupt the Ukrainian power supply. This troubling state of affairs is the product of several fundamental weaknesses with the traditional approach to cyber defense, which relies on predefining what threats look like at a time when criminals launch never-before-seen attacks daily. Moreover, these attacks increasingly strike at machine-speed, preventing security professionals from responding before their damage is done.

How Not to do Security!

  Presented by Check Point Software

Whether you are a bank, government, retail or in manufacturing, security impacts us all. Despite the differences in vertical sector, education has the same technology needs as these organizations. The ironic thing is that having more Information Security funding alone does not help these organizations keep their networks secure and their data from being ex-filtrated. Our nation’s top industries continue to be targeted for attacks with numerous breaches disclosed throughout the year.

In each case of these recent breaches, the organizations had the tools, technology and information security resources to detect, prevent and respond to such attacks. None the less, cyber-attacks on our nations corporate, government, critical infrastructure is on the rise. Securing the network, perimeter and data center is the same as in other industries. Come learn best practices that Check Point has learned from helping secure our customers networks for two decades and how to best apply them in today’s networks.
