• Welcome to the Denver Cybersecurity Conference
• Finding the Blind Spots 9:15 am

  Presented by Code42

  “How do I start a successful Insider Risk Program in my organization?” Well, we like to start at the beginning: communication and speaking the same language. Without speaking the same language, there is no way to surface variables that are needed to help solve the most difficult problems: the unknown unknowns, or our blind spots. Join us to learn how to build a shared vision of insider risk within your organization so you can focus your efforts clearly and prioritize how you want to manage risk.

• Level-Up Your Security Posture with a Virtual Security Assistant 10:20 am

  New attack vectors arrive daily. If you are not actively monitoring and detecting threats inside your infrastructure (network, SaaS, Cloud), you open yourself up to risk and even liability. Add this to the pain of being overworked, short-staffed, and lacking budget, and you’ve got a recipe for disaster. Learn how to overcome these challenges, strengthen your security posture and breathe a little easier with the BitLyft AIR® virtual security assistant platform.

• Protecting Against Cyber Attacks 10:40 am

  We’ve seen a lot of real-world consequences of cyberattacks – from the shutdown of the Colonial Pipeline, the recent Microsoft Exchange and even the slowing of care for hospital patients and their personal info being exposed, to major disruptions in food supply lines. The impact of a SINGLE attack can be DEVASTATING to EVERYONE.  And when paired with unprecedented geopolitical uncertainty, it’s NEVER been more important for us all to be vigilant against bad actors.

• Top 10 Features a Modern Secure Backup Solution Should Have 1:50 pm

  Presented by Cohesity

  Your data is a uniquely valuable resource and can be a significant competitive advantage. But the more data you have, the more complex it is to manage. And with rapidly increasing ransomware and other cyber threats, your data – and business – is more vulnerable than ever.

  At Cohesity, we believe that technology should work harder and smarter for you, whether it’s reducing complexity, keeping your business secure, or delivering more value.

  Come listen to what you should be looking for in a modern-day backup solution and how your backups should be providing you much more than a point in time to restore too.
