  The “perimeter” concept for organizational security… The castles and moats analogy no longer applies… As we all went to Work From Home quickly – we tested the boundaries of identity and authentication.

  Join this session to discuss the concepts and trends shaping identity and authentication, from IAM to passwordless, and PAM to zero-trust.

• Securing the Modern API Ecosystem 8:50 am
  Add to Calendar20220915 8:50 am20220915 9:10 amAmerica/New_YorkSecuring the Modern API Ecosystem

  APIs are central to digital transformation. Public cloud adoption, modern application architectures, and cloud-native designs capitalize on APIs as a foundational building block. Meanwhile, Gartner predicts that APIs will become the most frequently targeted attack vector by 2022.Attendees of this presentation will learn modern API strategies for security and risk management, including how to perform:

  • API discovery and inventory management
  • continuous vulnerability identification and testing
  • runtime prevention and detection

  Importantly, we will focus on orchestration across business, technology, and security teams to empower API-centric business and technology strategies with a shared, complete picture of API risks from code to production.

  The world of data backup and recovery has evolved with ransomware to highlight the need for a resiliency architecture that gives an organization the ability to quickly and reliably get back up and running after a cyber attack. This session will dive into how an attack (such as ransomware) unfolds and key considerations to give before, during and after so that the post-event recovery needs of the business can be achieved.

  We’ve seen the real-world consequences of cyberattacks – from the shutdown of the Colonial Pipeline to the slowing of care for hospital patients, to major disruptions in the food supply lines. The impact of a single attack can be far-reaching and devastating to all those affected. When paired with unprecedented geopolitical uncertainty, it’s never been more important for organizations to be vigilant against bad actors.

  Learn the latest techniques for developing your security posture with this expert panel discussion. Come prepared with your thoughts and questions and gain an insider’s perspective on the latest threats and most effective security strategies during this thoughtful, interactive session.

  Given an outcome, we often exaggerate our ability to predict and therefore avoid the same fate. In cybersecurity, this misconception can lead to a false sense of an organization’s security, or worse, bury the true causes of incidents and lead to repeated data breaches or operations disrupting cyber incidents. Join Mark Sangster, author of No Safe Harbor and Adlumin Chief of Strategy, as he explores a famous aviation accident to identify human biases, best practice root cause analysis, and explores how blaming single factor robs us of the opportunity to identify system causes and make the changes necessary to prevent repeat incidents.

  • Explore human biases and how they skew our findings

  • Examining a full range of factors and documenting impact

  • Continuous improvement through impartial examination

  Add to Calendar 1:10 pm 1:30 pmAmerica/New_YorkThe Compelling Case for Zero Trust: Bridge the Gap Between Cybersecurity and Business

  At a time when work was still a place to go to, apart from a thing to get done, organizations could afford to protect their most sensitive data using firewalls, IDS and IPS systems, and VPNs. But today, when there are no corporate network boundaries, and data can be stored and accessed from anywhere, traditional security systems will no longer work.

  There has to be a paradigm shift in the way we think about security. Enter zero trust.

  In this 20-minute talk, you will hear about:
  – The need for zero trust
  – The zero trust architecture
  – The sophisticated attack kill chains of today and tomorrow
  – Zero trust implementation pitfalls and strategy

  6 years after the release of Windows 10, Microsoft introduced their new Operating System Windows 11. That fact is causing a lot of IT Departments to evaluate their decision whether it is worth it to make the transition now or not. Especially with a lot of companies still having remote work and older machines in place this decision comes with a few new challenges companies need to be aware of. On the other hand Windows 11 opens up new possibilities with regards to security and efficiency.  

  Holger Weeres from baramundi software will tackle the big questions that IT departments have regarding Windows 11: Should I start planning deployment now or sit tight for a while? How does Microsoft’s latest OS affect endpoint management? And how will it affect endpoint security?

  Due to the growth of “Cloud” over the past ten years, organizations have moved from the data center to “centers of data”. As applications are now distributed, the networks and security solutions have become more complex and brittle. Adding fuel to this fire of complexity, network and security solutions must now address the demands of the hybrid workforce.

  Recent years have seen great progress in the enumeration and categorization of adversary TTPs. However, these frameworks and matrices are often cumbersome and unwieldy because they attempt to be “all things for all people”, listing every possible adversary and their TTPs.
