Disrupting Lateral Movement by Securing Active Directory 9:10 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

Faking It: Stopping Impersonation Attacks with Cyber AI 1:05 pm
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.

Rethinking data protection in the age of ransomware 1:25 pm
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.

Introduction to Risk-Based Vulnerability Management 2:30 pm
Click to Expand
Organizations have millions of vulnerabilities. And our research has shown that those same organizations, large or small, on average, can only fix one in 10 of those vulnerabilities.
But as a security executive you still need to keep your organization secure, so how do you do that when you can’t possibly fix all of your vulnerabilities? The answer is to focus on your highest-risk vulnerabilities first.
Join Kenna Security’s CTO and Co-Founder Ed Bellis as he:
- Reviews what years of research into vulnerability management data uncovered about the scope of the challenge
- Details the findings on how risk-based is the way to get ahead in vulnerability management
- Lays out several factors that drive better remediation performance
- Provides steps for setting up a successful risk-based vulnerability management program

Compliance & Automation in Cybersecurity 2:45 pm
Speaker Details Coming Soon
Click to ExpandManaging compliance needs as a continuous, organizational process (as opposed to a reactive response), amid the ever-increasing myriad of industry regulations and legislation has become a full time job for most CISOs. Automation – including artificial intelligence and machine learning will help, and are perhaps more critical than ever. As CRPA comes into play and brings the US closer to GDPR, there are also a number of touchpoints where the CDO and CISO interplay will be crucial over the coming months.
In this session, we will discuss the current issues with regard to compliance, monitoring, and reporting. Policy decisions and regulations that have kept CISOs busy of late, and what we can expect more of in 2021 will also be addressed.

Supply Chain & Third Party Risk Management 3:50 pm
Speaker Details Coming Soon
Click to ExpandA 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.

Operational Technology (OT) & Industrial Control Systems (ICS): Cybersecurity Concerns 4:10 pm
Speaker Details Coming Soon
Click to ExpandSince 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.
In this session we 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.
