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.

Why Encryption Is More Important Than Ever in Deterring Cybercrime

  Presented by Micro Focus

With the advancement in capabilities such as Artificial Intelligence, predictive learning analytics and data warehousing, cyber criminals Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTP) have reached levels of sophistication that enables them to gain an edge over traditional Information Security methods used to secure the enterprise. In this presentation, we will show how using Format Preserving Encryption can protect an organization’s data, with minimal impact to business and reduce the capabilities of cyber criminals to compromise sensitive data, including from previous hacks.

During this presentation, we will cover:

  • Historical notes of compromised data and why it affects you.
  • An overview of tools used by cyber criminals
  • Strategies that can be used to protect your environment
  • A Live Demo of Format Preserving Encryption

The Current Malware Threat Landscape & Best Practices for 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.

Building the SNOC: How to Integrate SecOps and NetOps

  Presented by ExtraHop

As the IT environment becomes more complex and distributed, it is more important than ever that Security Operations and Network Operations teams work together. This presentation explains the opportunities for optimizing budgets, cross-training staff, accelerating threat response, and improving end-user experience that come with integrated security and network operations. Attendees will also learn practical steps they can take toward building an integrated Security and Network Operations Center (SNOC).

Cloud Security: Top Use Cases for Modern Cloud Protection

  Presented by Xiologix

With enterprises embracing multiple cloud environments, the attack surface is growing immensely—but security visibility and coordination are shrinking. In this presentation, we will discuss why and how to bring the cloud conversation into hardware purchase conversations and who is responsible for securing the different types of cloud resources. We will also walk through the six most common use cases for cloud protection.

PCI and Your Organizational Liability

  Presented by Structured Communication Systems

Payment card processing is a critical service many companies and organizations offer. But with this service comes the added responsibility to comply with PCI requirements, and the technical, administrative, and physical controls applicable to card processing environments. Failure to comply can result in costly fines. Plus, a breach of card holder information could have disastrous financial and public relations consequences for compromised merchants. Want to know more? With compelling and engaging content delivered by Rob Wayt, a PCI Qualified Security Assessor (QSA), you will learn the intricacies of these requirements, proper scoping, and how to mitigate risks that merchants have while card processing.

The Monsters We Build: Apps from Pieces and Parts

  Presented by F5 Networks

The way we build applications today differs greatly from how they were built just a few years ago. The rise of architectural approaches to development like microservices, function-as-a-service, and injectable components have simplified some aspects of application development but has made our applications into lumbering Frankenstein’s monsters in other ways. Learn how to properly map out your monster’s anatomy and identify hidden, critical weaknesses in delivery, security, and operability…before they come after you with torches.
