• AI & ML in Cybersecurity: Can We ‘Science the Heck’ Out of Trouble? 8:30 am
  Add to Calendar20230713 8:30 am20230713 8:50 amAmerica/New_YorkAI & ML in Cybersecurity: Can We ‘Science the Heck’ Out of Trouble?

  We get it, Artificial Intelligence (AI) with particular focus on Machine Learning (ML) is one way to overcome advanced threats with particular attention to scale. That said, those terms are thrown at our executives to delight, amaze and confuse them. How do we really discern between them as tools in our kit versus ‘Weapons of Mass Distraction’?

  Secureworks CTU researchers have seen a steady increase in sophisticated and destructive threat actors accessing networks through web drive-by downloads. This vulnerable threat class is no longer the exclusive domain of tech support scams and adware, instead becoming a leading entry point for large-scale ransomware attacks. We will survey the threat groups responsible for the more prolific drive-by download networks, how they work, and what network defenders can expect after exploitation.

• The Future of Identity and Risk Management in Cloud and Hybrid Environments 9:30 am
  Add to Calendar20230713 9:30 am20230713 9:50 amAmerica/New_YorkThe Future of Identity and Risk Management in Cloud and Hybrid Environments

  Over the past decades, identity management and access governance has come to refer to managing and controlling access to applications within an organization. This includes establishing policies and procedures for granting, revoking and auditing access to ensure compliance within security standards. How do you successfully implement a governance program, what are common pitfalls to avoid, and what happens when an organization must manage multiple ERP systems across a combination of SaaS and on-premise applications? Join us to discuss.

• Operational Technology (OT) & Industrial Control Systems (ICS): Cybersecurity Concerns 9:50 am
  Add to Calendar20230713 9:50 am20230713 10:10 amAmerica/New_YorkOperational Technology (OT) & Industrial Control Systems (ICS): Cybersecurity Concerns

  Since the Stuxnet worm was first discovered back in 2010, attacks related to SCADA systems have been of concern. While manufacturing and utility organizations tend to talk about them more, there are wide implications across the cybersecurity landscape that touch on ICS and OT systems of all kinds. 

  This session will talk about why these types of attacks represent a primary concern, and what state-of-the-art looks like in terms of building protections.

• Cyber Ready: Overview on Zero Trust, What Comes Next and What You Can Do Now. 10:55 am
  Add to Calendar20230713 10:55 am20230713 11:15 amAmerica/New_YorkCyber Ready: Overview on Zero Trust, What Comes Next and What You Can Do Now.

  What does it mean to be in a constant state of Cyber Readiness? What is Zero Trust architecture and how do you get there from a state of legacy networks and security? How can Battle-Tested Systems convert your organization from defense to offense?

  The new era of Cyber Security requires an organization to be Cyber Ready, not just passively prepared. We will present what that journey looks like and how it is driven by a Zero Trust framework and Battle-Tested Systems. Continuous improvement is key, and, on too many occasions, organizations believe they are protected and do not try to improve their systems until an actual, potentially catastrophic breach has occurred. This moment of epiphany is entirely avoidable, and we will show you that path to being proactive.

  Posture Matters, and in this presentation, we will answer all these questions as well as some of your own. We will show you the why, the how, and what you can do right now to fortify your perimeter against the increasingly sophisticated attacks of today and tomorrow while in any stage of your Zero Trust Journey.

  A supply chain encompasses the entire network of all the individuals, organizations, resources, activities and technology involved in the creation and sale of a product.  The ultimate goal of an effective supply chain is lower costs of doing business thus resulting in higher profits and improved customer satisfaction.  The process of bringing in a third party involves identifying, assessing and controlling all the various risks that can develop over the entire lifecycle of such relationships. 

  Join this session to drive into how sophisticated attackers can live quietly inside even organizations with significant expertise and mature security processes.

  Nation-State attacks are not always focused on political or military adversaries. Recently, below-military-grade action can create havoc or destabilize adversaries, or manipulate markets.  Hard to trace and even harder to convict, they may affect stock price or even influence the outcome of elections. 

  Attend to talk about the problem, and see what US enterprises are doing to prepare themselves for these situations.

  Add to Calendar20230713 2:35 pm20230713 2:55 pmAmerica/New_YorkManaging Risk: Seek Forward Accountability and Assume a Stormy Seas

  While managing risk has always been a part of the CISO office, most resources turn to stopping new ransomware threats, managing supply chain attacks and mitigating third-party vulnerabilities. How can CISOs truly move to managing risk? And by extension, how can they clearly communicate risk, and measure the efficacy of mitigation activities?

  Join this session to learn how to facilitate the risk conversation with non-technical leaders, determine priorities, and counterbalance cybersecurity considerations against business requirements. This session will also address risk quantification, accounting, budgeting and resourcing, and building more resilience rather than taller walls.
