• Welcome to the Orange County Cybersecurity Conference
• The State of Secure Identity 9:00 am

  Presented by Auth0

  Digital identities control access to an ever-growing number of applications, services, and critical systems. This makes identity an interesting attack vector for threat actors, and highlights the importance of authentication and authorization in preserving trust and security. The 2021 Auth0 State of Secure Identity report highlights the latest trends in identity security, including what types of attacks Auth0 has observed, the characteristics of these attacks, what industries are most affected, and the adoption rates for identity protection technologies. 

  During this session, we’ll provide greater insight into which industries are: 

  – Most highly targeted by credential stuffing attacks 

  – Most highly targeted by SQL injection attacks 

  – Leading the way in MFA adoption to improve overall security posture 

  We’ll also shed light on: fake account creation, MFA bypass attacks, and what defensive measures are being adopted to combat these identity security threats.

• The Battle of the Algorithms: How AI is Beating AI at Its Own Game 9:20 am

  Presented by Darktrace

  Among rapidly evolving technological advancements, the emergence of AI-enhanced malware is making cyber-attacks exponentially more dangerous, and harder to identify. As AI-driven attacks evolve, they will be almost indistinguishable from genuine activity, and conducted at an unprecedented speed and scale. In the face of offensive AI, only defensive AI can fight back, detecting even the most subtle indicators of attack in real time, and respond with surgical actions to neutralize threats – wherever they strike.

• Protecting Against Cyber Attacks 10:35 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.

• Windows 10, 11, or 12 -- The Windows journey continues… 11:25 am

  Presented by baramundi

  Almost one year into the release of Windows 11, many IT departments are still considering whether to make the transition to Microsoft’s latest operating system. And with Microsoft’s new development cycle, there is already talk about yet another Windows version. 

  Alfredo Contreras from baramundi software will tackle the big questions, such as: Should I start planning deployment of Windows 11, or sit tight for a while? What effect will Microsoft’s latest OS have on our endpoint management approach? And how does it affect endpoint security?

• Lunch Break
• Identity & Access Management: A Growing Need for Mid-Sized Organizations 12:40 pm

  Presented by Tenfold

  Mid-market businesses today are faced with increasingly complex IT landscapes, rapidly evolving digital threats and growing pressure through privacy and security regulations. To protect their data and ensure appropriate access across various local and cloud services, medium-sized organizations more than ever depend on automated IAM solutions.

  However, common IAM products designed for an enterprise context have proven too large and complex to be used effectively: Their lengthy setup and massive scope exceed the needs and resources of medium-sized companies. Mid-market access management takes a more efficient approach to help organizations quickly regain control of users and data.

  In this session, you will learn:
  • What makes identity & access management a necessity for the mid-market
  • How IAM boosts security, productivity and compliance
  • What to look out for when choosing an IAM provider

• New Storage Protection Technology for Your Data Currently Being Developed in ITU-T International Standard Organization 2:00 pm

  Presented by FilingBox

  The existing cybersecurity protection technologies, such as network protection and endpoint protection are not enough against current cyberattacks. Today, the new cybersecurity protection mechanism, called the storage protection technology, is being standardized in the ITU-T SG 17 which is in charge of international cybersecurity standards.

  It protects your data from a network storage standpoint. If data requests on the PC come into the network storage through the network drive, it analyzes what application on the PC is requesting the data on the storage and provides the real data only to the application which was preregistered on the storage. If unknown applications, including ransomware and data breach malware request data on storage, it provides a file with read-only or a file with read-and-fake-only to the application. If a file with a read-only attribute is opened on the PC, it can not be modified or encrypted by ransomware. If a file with a read-and-fake-only attribute is opened on the PC, original data can not be transferred or read by the malware.

  Because it protects the data from the storage standpoint, it protects data from any kind of malware including future variations running on the PC. Especially it is lightweight compared to the existing behavioral detection-based endpoint and network protection technologies. It generates good synergy with the existing endpoint and network protection technology because the working area is different.

  We will provide a cloud-based storage protection service free of charge to 100 participants in the session on a first-come, first-served basis for experiencing the new storage protection.
