Surviving the Digital Storm – IoT Security Deluge 8:50 am
Presented by Check Point
Click to ExpandWe are on the verge of entering our 4th industrial revolution: the era of the Internet of Things (IoT). IoT is a broad term that comes to describe physical devices, embedded with electronics, software, sensors, actuators and network connectivity – all capable of collecting and exchanging data with other devices. The direct communications and data sharing between devices – among themselves or directly with various cloud services – are aimed to shorten development cycles, reduce energy consumption, enable precise view of a device status, and to streamline business processes with higher efficiency.
This revolution has already impacted various industries including healthcare, automotive, industrial control systems, transportation and smart homes. Due to the wide variety of attacks on IoT, there is a need for a substantial granularity while managing the security policies of these devices. IoT delivers the promise of becoming the next industrial revolution, and driving the next generation of efficiency and productivity. But this revolution will not flourish unless cyber security becomes one of its corner stones.

Moving Beyond Password to Delight & Secure Users 10:15 am
Presented by Okta
Click to ExpandPasswords have been a constant throughout the internet era. As we’ve moved from desktops to smartphones, from on-premises infrastructure to cloud services, we’ve all relied on passwords to access and safeguard our data and resources across the applications we use on a daily basis.
But in this new digital age where data breaches are rampant, passwords are no longer good enough. Not only are they insecure, they are expensive and offer a poor user experience. Fortunately, there’s a better way to protect your applications and stop account takeover incidents.
In this session, we’ll discuss the benefits of passwordless authentication and explain how eliminating the password can help improve user experience, admin visibility and control, and scalability. We’ll also walk through key considerations and first steps as you embark on your passwordless journey.

Identity: Expert Panel Discussion 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?

Developing Your Identity Strategy 11:15 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.

Building Cyber Resilience: Finding Factors Not Fault 11:30 am
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.

Ransomware Recovery With Speed and Precision 3:50 pm
Presented by Crowdstrike
Click to ExpandRansomware attacks cause major business disruptions resulting in significant time expenditures, technical resources, and related costs in order to return to full business operations. The traditional recovery approach using backups and reimaging or simply paying the ransom fails to address the root cause of the attack and remove persistent threats. This failure leaves organizations open to secondary attacks, negating initial efforts. Our experts from the front lines of incident response and endpoint recovery are helping organizations effectively recover from attacks with speed and precision to surgically remove ransomware. Join us for this informative session to learn just how we do it.

Understanding and Combating Credential Stuffing Attacks 4:15 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
