Cybersecurity Ratings: Market Forces and Future Considerations 8:35 am
Presented by SecurityScorecard
Click to ExpandIn this session, David will examine the most prevalent issues that attribute to third party breaches. He will review the challenges surfaced by the current work from home requirements, new COVID-19 risks, and additional concerns posed by the necessity for expanded collaboration.
He will explain what is a cybersecurity rating, and what are the major factors that comprise one. Comparing this with traditional Vendor Risk Management, he will revisit some of the challenges due to questionnaire exchange, manual processes, third-parties with access to sensitive data, and risk mitigation strategies.
David will explain the key elements included in a Cyber Risk Management solution, and contrast the drawbacks of point-in-time solutions that try to address these risks. Highlighting a recent case study, he discusses key requirements–such as automation, collaboration, centralized insights, prevention, and maximizing ROI–which led to multi-million dollar savings.
Looking to the future, David will share some cybersecurity rating predictions, discussing the major tailwinds in vendor risk management. He will explain how these solutions enable organizations to make more informed, less risky, and decisions faster.

Humans Are the Weakest Link – the Corona Edition 9:00 am
Presented by Check Point
Click to ExpandTell the dogs to lie down, grab a fresh coffee from the kitchen, kick your shoes off, and join CyberSecurity Evangelist and Podcast host Brian Linder for a journey into the dark corners of an interwoven mission of bad actors, SpongeBob, face masks, and a few other surprises.
Plan on leaving with:
New perspectives on humans as the weakest link in Corona times, and in the next “Work From Anywhere” normal
The opportunity multiplier effect of pandemic fatigue
A look into a few cybersecurity “blind spots” which may have been revealed
A peek into the minds of a global Cyber research powerhouse
An interconnected and complex threat surface with roads that lead where nobody wants to go.
Warning: You might be asked to raise your hand even though nobody can see you except the cat. We will be polling the cats afterwards, so your full cooperation is needed.

Managing Digital Risk Amid Disruption 10:00 am
Presented by RSA
Click to ExpandDigital transformation is not only changing how companies think about business. It is changing how we think about risk. We need to *act* on risk, not worry about it. We need to start and end with the basics. In this session we review several key areas of digital risk management to target as you are challenged to be a key contributor in your company’s digital journey.

Identity, Users, and the Cloud 10:45 am
Click to Expand
The 2000’s view of “perimeter” in terms of security conjures up an analogy about castles and moats… but today, the question is, where is the moat? As we turbo-charged Work From Home this year, and BYOD is just a way of life – have your Identity and Access Management practices kept-up?

Is Ransomware Winning? 11:15 am
Presented by Ivanti
Click to ExpandRansomware is a prevalent cybersecurity threat. Threat actors are constantly changing tactics looking for new ways to force ransom payments. With each new emerging ransomware threat family, the size and scope of threats are getting nastier too. This has led to incredible increases in the average ransoms paid over the past eighteen months. In this session, we will look at recent ransomware trends, the critical changes to threat actor behaviors, and discuss the strategies and technologies organizations need to defend themselves against this evolving threat.

Developing Your Identity Strategy 11:40 am
Presented by SailPoint
Click to ExpandRemember when identity management meant creating new accounts and resetting user’s passwords? Over the years, digital identity has evolved into much, MUCH more. Your identity program now includes not just identity management, but also access management, privilege management, and even customer identity management, all of this falling under the umbrella of identity governance. More importantly, identity has shifted from being a basic operations function to the cornerstone for business enablement and digital transformation. In this presentation, Rob walks you through key considerations when developing your identity strategy to help you improve the current state of your program while building a solid foundation for the future of your identity program.

Understanding and Combating Credential Stuffing Attacks 2:30 pm
Presented by Auth0
Click to ExpandCredential stuffing attacks are the most common threats observed at Auth0. These attacks can lead to fraud, loss of reputation, and ultimately, loss of revenue.
In credential stuffing attacks, threat actors use stolen credentials from one breach to take over users’ other accounts. This is effective because, according to Google, 65% of people reuse passwords across multiple accounts. On some days, these attacks originate from more than 50,000 IP addresses and may account for as much as half of all login attempts using our platform. Even the most mature companies are vulnerable if they don’t have the right preventative measures in place.
Join Auth0 to learn:
How credential stuffing attacks work
What effect they can have on your company
Steps to detect and mitigate these attacks

Building Cyber Resilience: Finding Factors Not Fault 2:50 pm
Presented by Esentire
Click to ExpandGiven an outcome, we often exaggerate our ability to predict and therefore avoid the same fate. In cybersecurity, this misconception can lead to a false sense of corporate security, or worse, bury the true causes of incidents and lead to repeated data breaches or business disrupting cyber incidents. In this session, we will explore real-world incidents and threats to assemble an actionable cyber resilience framework that adapts to distributed assets, remote workers, and virtual workloads.

Recover From Ransomware 3:25 pm
Click to Expand
Whether you chose to pay the ransomware or not, industry experts tell you to treat your entire network as contaminated. Rebuilding images, devices, re-formatting storage, and all the rest is part of this process. In this panel, our experts will talk about what to do first – and what to avoid, and where the traps may lie.

Using Security Testing to Know What’s Working 3:50 pm
Presented by Cymulate
Click to ExpandThe security team needs to stop being invisible. When we’re not on the forefront on business mind-share, security becomes a cost-center that only appears if something goes wrong. Using security testing to show what is going right – quarter by quarter – demonstrates the direct and real impact of the security team on the safety and strength of the business itself. This session will dive into topics regarding how continuous security validation can demonstrate ROI on investment, how to show that those investments have a real impact on the reputation and revenue of the business, and how any new spend can be justified in terms of continued benefit to the bottom line.

The Last Line of Defense: The Importance of Having a Robust and Comprehensive Data Protection Strategy 4:10 pm
Presented by Purestorage
Click to ExpandData protection is experiencing a resurgence. Historically it’s been seen as an innovation backwater and as “insurance”, but with the growth of Ransomware and cybercrime, and increasing risk, organizations are having to modernize their data protection architectures and strategies to ensure that data can be recovered quickly to ensure that an Organization can survive an attack. Join this session to learn about the latest innovations in the data protection space and how they can be deployed to provide a comprehensive last line of defense.
