Disrupting Lateral Movement by Securing Active Directory 9:00 am
Click to Expand
A common tactic among advanced threat actors and ransomware attacks today involves leveraging Active Directory to move laterally and accomplish their mission. Active Directory data can give attackers credentials, privileges, access, and persistence. Protecting it must be a high priority for any organization.
Active Directory security requires time, resources, expertise, and visibility. Typical best practices focus on limiting privileged accounts, conducting audits, and hardening systems, but these no longer suffice to address advanced attacks.
Join this session to explore new options that automate defending AD from compromise to prevent lateral movement.
Highlights include:
- Live detection for attacks targeting Active Directory
- Attack surface reduction at both Active Directory and the endpoint
- Continuous visibility to AD changes that introduce new exposures
- Addressing Active Directory assurance to reduce risks and pass Red team tests

The Dark Web: Exposing the Business of Cybercrime 9:40 am
Click to Expand
The 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 unheard of. Criminals don’t have to be skilled to get your data;they just need to know where and who to go to for help.
This 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 and for low cost
- Money laundering and money mules – Ways criminals are skirting around laws and regulations to get paid
- Mitigating risk – How businesses can protect themselves from all levels of cybercriminals with an emphasis on the importance of investing in proactive threat-hunting

Expert Panel Discussion: User-Centric Security 10:00 am
User-Centric Security
Click to ExpandUsers, those carbon-based life forms usually roaming the halls of your buildings, are the last line of defense. Data suggests that CEOs are ready to spend more money to contravene against attacks aimed at users. Training, tools, and education help – but what are we doing to make sure they are not the weakest link?
Our Subject Matter Experts will look at the problem from multiple angles… Business Email Compromises (BEC)/Phishing and Account Takeover… as well as Endpoint Security, Identity and Access Management, and Password (-less) solutions. Attendees will understand the myriad of challenges from multiple perspectives, and different concepts on how to address.

Moving Beyond Password to Delight & Secure Users 10:50 am
Click to Expand
Passwords 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.

Rethinking Data Protection in the Age of Ransomware 11:10 am
Click to Expand
With the proliferation of data-driven digital business growing at an exponential pace, so is the pace of cyber security threats and attacks, such as ransomware. Cyberattacks can cost a company $1.4 Million on average in recovery when you add in the cost of lost productivity, reputation damage, and service disruption. Are you at risk? Can your backup keep pace with the speed of recovery that’s needed today? Attend this session to find out why traditional backup won’t save you from ransomware attack and how continuous data protection helps you to prepare, respond and recover from an attack.

Faking It: Stopping Impersonation Attacks with Cyber AI 11:30 am
Click to Expand
Today, 94% of cyber-threats still originate in the inbox. ‘Impersonation attacks’ are on the rise, as artificial intelligence is increasingly being used to automatically generate spear-phishing emails, or ‘digital fakes’, that expertly mimic the writing style of trusted contacts and colleagues.
Humans can no longer distinguish real from fake on their own – businesses are increasingly turning to AI to distinguish friend from foe and fight back with autonomous response.
In an era when thousands of documents can be encrypted in minutes, ‘immune system’ technology takes action in seconds – stopping cyber-threats before damage is done.
Find out how in this session.

Microsoft Teams Vulnerabilities 1:10 pm
Click to Expand
Microsoft Teams has quickly become the go-to application for remote work, accelerating dramatically in usage over the last year. Millions of users turned to Microsoft Teams to help keep businesses going in 2020—and hackers have noticed. As Teams is still relatively new, much is unknown about how it operates and how hackers will approach it.
While the increased usage has been well-documented, what’s not been documented is whether the app is vulnerable to hacking. We will talk about discoveries that have already been made, potential risks that we see in the future, and how to best secure this relatively new communication vector.
This session will walk attendees through:
- The many inherent vulnerabilities in the platform
- The popular attack types
- How hackers act differently within Teams than they do on email

The Rise of Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) 2:45 pm
Click to Expand
Secure access service edge has quickly emerged as a hot topic in cybersecurity, but what exactly does it mean and why should organizations care? As cloud migration, BYOD adoption, and remote work have skyrocketed in prevalence, it has become increasingly apparent that organizations need to think differently about security. While legacy tools like firewalls are no longer equipped to handle the modern IT ecosystem, SASE platforms like Bitglass are built for this exact moment. In this presentation, you will learn:
- The core components of a SASE platform like Bitglass.
- The functionality you need to secure cloud, web, and remote access use cases.
- Architectural considerations you should keep in mind when comparing SASE vendors.

Navigating Enterprise Security in a Post-Compromise Reality 4:15 pm
Presented by ExtraHop Networks
Click to ExpandEvery organization gets compromised – it’s how fast you detect and respond to an incident that counts. This is especially important when you look at trends like the overnight move to remote work, the rise in encrypted traffic and acceleration of cloud adoption, as well as the proliferation of enterprise IoT that have expanded the attack surface and complicated the job of security professionals. We’ll explore those trends and the opportunity that lay ahead for security teams post-compromise to prevent an event that results in an outage or an incident from becoming a full-scale data breach.
