Threat Intelligence and Modern Layered Security 9:15 am
Presented by Sentinel IPS
Click to ExpandThe term ‘Threat Intelligence’ is getting a lot of buzz these days, but what does it mean? And, more importantly, how can it help protect your network? In this presentation, we answer these questions within the context of a layered security approach that integrates Threat Intelligence with existing security methodologies. We also use real-world examples to examine how Threat Intelligence improves a network’s defenses at the perimeter and allows administrators to gain more visibility on the inside.

The Paradox of Securing Workloads 12:15 pm
Presented by Morphisec
Click to ExpandServers contain an organization’s most valuable assets and underpin its operational capabilities. These are the ultimate targets of many cybercriminals. Yet strategies for defending them often rely on client-grade technologies like AV and EDR. This exposes the enterprise at a time when many companies are migrating workloads to the cloud. Gartner’s model for Cloud Workload Protection Platforms offers insights on the must-haves and nice-to-haves of server protection, on-prem and in the cloud. It also points to ways of safeguarding them from unknown attacks by using deterministic technology like moving target defense.

Protect Your Keys or Don’t Waste Your Time Encrypting Your Data 1:15 pm
Presented by nCipher Security
Click to ExpandFor over 2000 years, governments, armies, businesses and lovers have been encrypting messages. For the same amount of time, the keys used to perform the encryption have been the weakest link in the chain. After 2000 years, technology has advanced such that the keys can be protected but many companies don’t understand how important it really is. Mr. Beutlich will explain in an entertaining (and sometimes graphic) fashion why protecting the encryption key is more important than the encryption itself.

Overcoming Today’s Most Common Security & Privacy Challenges 1:45 pm
Presented by OneTrust Vendorpedia
Click to ExpandManaging third-party vendor risk before, during and after on-boarding is a continuous effort under global privacy laws and security regulations. While outsourcing operations to vendors can alleviate business challenges, managing the associated risk with manual tools like spreadsheets is complex and time consuming. To streamline this process, organizations must put procedures in place to secure sufficient vendor guarantees and effectively work together during an audit, incident – or much more. In this session, we’ll breakdown a practical approach for automating third-party vendor risk management and explore helpful tips and real-world practical advice to automate third-party privacy and security risk programs.

Cybercrime, Inc: Exposing the Business of the Dark Web 2:30 pm
Presented by Armor
Click to ExpandThe Dark Web is growing at an exponential rate, with hackers doubling down on cybercrime-as-a-service – allowing non-traditional and unskilled hackers to wreak havoc in ways previously impossible. Criminals don’t have to be skilled to get your data; they just have to hire someone who is.
The session aims to expose the inner workings and business of the cyber underground, focusing on the following:
- Cryptocurrency – the impact digital currency has had on the rate of growth of cybercrime
- Cybercrime-as-a-service – the expansion of services offered by skilled hackers & for low costs
- Money laundering & money mules – ways criminals are skirting around laws/regulations to get paid
- How businesses can protect themselves from all levels of cybercriminals; emphasis on the importance of investing in proactive threat hunting

A Risk Based Privacy Approach 3:30 pm
Presented by Truvantis
Click to ExpandA privacy program in this environment must take into account: An understanding of what current requirements are applicable to each business process which involves personal information, and the business reasons for the use of that personal information; how those requirements translate into technical and process changes, and how those changes are best addressed from the application level to the organizational level; future-proofing against changing applications and business needs, additional regulatory requirements, increased customer and partner expectations, and peer competitor strategies. This program must be risk based and designed to achieve an MVP defensible position in the shortest amount of time, without boiling the ocean, and should include a road map for continuous improvement and recurring risk and privacy assessments.
Understand how to create an operational approach to privacy compliance, including business and technical impacts, create a prioritized assessment and implementation plan, and be able to demonstrate compliance and comply with privacy rights requests in a timely and efficient manner.Speaker:
