• Don’t Phreak Out: Bring VOIP, P2P, and Server-Initiated Access into the Zero Trust Era 10:10 am

  Presented by Axis Security

  It all started with phreaking the phone network and a few clever hackers. Today business runs on IP networks and VOIP is an important application used by employees, contractors, and partners. Hackers today focus on attacking these private IP networks and they target vulnerable VPNs to gain access. Consequently, organizations are turning to zero trust network access (ZTNA) to protect their networks and applications against these attacks. For the longest time only VPNs were used to enable remote access for VOIP, P2P, or server-initiated flows. That changes now. Learn how you can add VOIP, P2P, and server-initiated flows into a zero trust network access model.

• Expert Panel Discussion: Beyond Kaseya & SolarWinds 10:30 am

  Beyond Kaseya & SolarWinds: Supply Chain & Third-Party Risk Management for 2021

  Even before the Kaseya MSP attack and the SolarWinds Orion Code Compromise, Supply Chain Attacks were up over 400% in 2020. Nation-State actors, or ransomware/cybercrime gangs that are state-tolerated have proven to be a massive attack vector. Along with third-party risk in general, partner organizations and software systems with unfettered, privileged, deep access to infrastructure create “a perfect storm” threat for modern cyber executives.

  In this panel, our experts will discuss these challenges in detail, as well as the multiple approaches to identify the best means of using supply chains while keeping the third-party risks at a minimum.

• Faking It: Self-Learning AI: Redefining Enterprise Security 11:20 am

  Presented by Darktrace

  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 an 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.

• Lunch Break
• Keynote 12:25 pm

  Presidential Protection Detail Notes for the Savvy CISO: Protect, Train and Practice

  Most known for the protection segment of their dual mission, the US Secret Service has been primarily responsible for the investigation of financial crimes since its inception in 1865.  This keynote presentation from Assistant Special Agent in Charge of the Philadelphia Field Office will bridge these two worlds, and build on the highly-acclaimed keynote she presented last year,  “How to protect your enterprise the way the U.S. Secret Service protects the President”.

  ASAIC Cerra will use video examples, including the attempted assassination of President Reagan, to explain how the smooth operation by agents witnessed therein are the product of training, education, communication and practice.  She’ll further expand how CISOs and other cybersecurity leaders can use some of the same techniques to assure their incident response plans are flawlessly executed at a time of crisis.

  The presentation will stress the importance of practicing incident response plans, equating the Secret Service procedures around protective advances. This includes important lessons on staffing, communications, and empowering employees. She’ll talk about tactics used to vet intelligence that can be applied to cyber threat intelligence, responding to adverse events, as well as evolving and maintaining roles of team members.

  Finally, Ms. Cerra will talk about how to make employee training personal for maximal effect. Assuring the right people are trained, and that they gain the cybersecurity-oriented mindset that can put an organization in the best stance for preventing cyber incidents.

• Moving Beyond Password to Delight & Secure Users 1:10 pm

  Presented by Okta

  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.
