  • Real Talk on Ransomware 10:30 am

    Presented by Arcserve

    We all know what ransomware is – we know the stats, we’ve seen the headlines, we’re all in the mindset of “if, not when.” With all the fear, uncertainty and doubt constantly bombarding IT professionals, we’ll dive into the realities of ransomware attacks and the real impacts on organizations. We offer participants an opportunity to “sound off” on ransomware and share experiences and challenges with your peers to better understand how prepared organizations are to defend against ransomware attacks.

  • How Hackers Bypass Office 365 Security: An Guide for the Uninitiated 11:00 am

    Presented by Avanan

    The move to SaaS has changed the phishing landscape: your Office 365 inbox is the #1 threat vector and your Office 365 credentials are their #1 target. In this talk, we will demonstrate the techniques attackers use to bypass Microsoft’s defenses. Learn how they use Microsoft’s own services to fool filters and utilize built-in tools to launch them internally–bypassing your email security gateway.

    During this session, we’ll demonstrate how to protect Office 365 from:

    • Email-based phishing, spoofing, and malware
    • Account takeover, insider threats, compromised Microsoft credentials
    • Loss of sensitive data from OneDrive, SharePoint and Office 365
