The Current Malware Threat Landscape & Enterprise Grade Remediation

  Presented by Malwarebytes

Malware has become one of the biggest threat challenges faced by security and IT teams. Malwarebytes Labs conducts extensive proprietary research and analysis. The findings are periodically published to help security teams better understand the nature and evolution of these threats.

This presentation will cover key findings from our newly released annual report. It will highlight malware category trends and discuss new and emerging threats to be on the watch for. There will also be a discussion of industry best practices and technologies that can help your business to prevent, detect, and remediate these threats.

Attendees will leave with insight into the current malware threat landscape, as well as an understanding of steps they can take to mitigate breaches.

How to Solve the Toughest Challenges in Cloud Security

  Presented by Sophos & Pine Cove Consulting

In an ever-changing, auto-scaling environment, continuous visibility of your public cloud infrastructure is vital. Join Pine Cove Consulting and Sophos Security as we discuss how you can use the power of AI and automation to simplify compliance, governance and security monitoring in the cloud.

Visibility is the foundation on which all public cloud security policies and activities are built. We will discuss how to monitor multiple cloud provider environments including Amazon Web Services (AWS) accounts, Microsoft Azure subscriptions, Google Cloud Platform (GCP) projects, Kubernetes clusters, and development code repositories. With superior visibility, layered with compliance and DevSecOps policies controls and alerts, teams can take control and build on their cloud security strategy with confidence.

Join us to learn how building a complete picture of architecture, including a full inventory and real-time network topology visualization including hosts, networks, user accounts, storage services, containers, and serverless functions, can help you improve your cloud security challenges.

Rethinking Vulnerability Prioritization in the Modern Threat Landscape

  Presented by Tenable, Inc.

When it comes to reducing cyber exposure, an effective vulnerability management approach helps you eliminate blind spots that are often the root of security issues. But with 16,000 vulnerabilities identified in 2018 alone, security leaders know it’s not practical to find and fix every vulnerability. Using the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) to prioritize is a good start, but it isn’t enough to address the complexity of today’s attack surface. Security professionals need to be able to reduce the vast universe of potential vulnerabilities down to a subset of the vulnerabilities that are most likely to be exploited in the near-term. Attend this session to learn how adding real-life context to your vulnerabilities can help prioritize vulnerabilities so you can focus your remediation efforts on those that matter most.

Data Protection: Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery

  Presented by CompuNet

An open panel discussion on Data Protection: Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery. This session will focus on the navigating current trends and best practices in most environments. Bring your tough questions and topics to our engineers who specialize in BCDR.

Digital to Physical: Real-World Impact of Security Risks in Industries Using IIoT

  Presented by Trend Micro

This presentation will talk about research on radio remote controllers used in industrial settings, and how they can be used for attacks in this environment. This will shed light on how a cyberattack can inflict physical damage or harm. The goal is to inspire the audience to think outside the box in terms of what can be compromised and impose a sense of urgency in the IoT/IIoT security space.

Threats to Public Cloud Workloads

  Presented by Trend Micro

This presentation will revolve around the various threats workloads are susceptible to as more and more organizations shift from on-premise to the cloud. This will focus primarily on public cloud infrastructure but many of the concepts will apply directly to private cloud/on-prem data center infrastructure as well. The goal of the talk is to give the audience a better understanding of the vulnerabilities associated with cloud workloads and mitigation strategies.

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.

Emerging Trends in Cybersecurity

  Presented by Trace3

As the threat landscape rapidly expands, enterprises across all industries are seeking approaches and technologies to safeguard their interest from advanced and persistent threats. Mounting regulatory and financial penalties against a talent shortage, the need for better cybersecurity only becomes more apparent.

Startups are emerging to offer solutions that address vulnerabilities arising from the growing threat vectors introduced by the expansion of the enterprise domain. Understanding trends and technologies that are driving the future of cybersecurity is critical to both individual contributors and leaders.

Exploitation of IT Vulnerabilities is Escalating

  Presented by Quest Software

Cybercriminals are savvier than ever. They understand that IT complexities create serious vulnerabilities, and these criminals are continually developing new ways to breach your organization’s boundaries. That is why a proactive, unified endpoint management (UEM) strategy should be part of your organization’s core business strategy.
