IAM + WFH - Authentication vs Authorization 8:30 am
Add to Calendar20220915 8:30 am20220915 8:50 amAmerica/New_YorkIAM + WFH - Authentication vs Authorization
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.

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.

Managing Risk: Seek Forward Accountability and Assume a Stormy Seas 9:30 am
Add to Calendar20220915 9:30 am20220915 9:50 amAmerica/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.

The Evolution of the Threat: Hunting, Detection, & Response 9:50 am
Add to Calendar20220915 9:50 am20220915 10:10 amAmerica/New_YorkThe Evolution of the Threat: Hunting, Detection, & Response
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.

Moving Beyond Password to Delight & Secure Users 10:55 am
Add to Calendar20220915 10:55 am20220915 11:15 amAmerica/New_YorkMoving Beyond Password to Delight & Secure Users
Passwords have been a constant throughout the internet era. As we’ve moved from desktops to smartphones, from on-premises infrastructure to cloud services, we’ve all relied on passwords to access and safeguard our data and resources across the applications we use on a daily basis.
But in this new digital age where data breaches are rampant, passwords are no longer good enough. Not only are they insecure, they are expensive and offer a poor user experience. Fortunately, there’s a better way to protect your applications and stop account takeover incidents.
In this session, we’ll discuss the benefits of passwordless authentication and explain how eliminating the password can help improve user experience, admin visibility and control, and scalability. We’ll also walk through key considerations and first steps as you embark on your passwordless journey.

Windows 11: Adapt Early or Follow Cautiously? 1:10 pm
Add to Calendar20220915 1:10 pm20220915 1:30 pmAmerica/New_YorkWindows 11: Adapt Early or Follow Cautiously?
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.
baramundi 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?

The Risk Management “Balance Sheet” 1:30 pm
Add to Calendar20220915 1:30 pm20220915 1:50 pmAmerica/New_YorkThe Risk Management “Balance Sheet”
Managing risk has always been a part of the CISO responsibility set; however, the ways in which it is managed has no clear definition. With new ransomware threats, supply chain attacks, and third-party risk in the mix – perhaps a new way to budget risk is required. Is there an effective way to have a “risk balance sheet” – a way in which the CISO could communicate risk to the rest of the C-suite in a consistent language they would understand?
Attend this session to get these questions answered and more.

An Adversary-Focused Approach to Cybersecurity Defenses 2:35 pm
Add to Calendar20220915 2:35 pm20220915 2:55 pmAmerica/New_YorkAn Adversary-Focused Approach to Cybersecurity Defenses
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. This presentation will take these frameworks and matrices as inputs and focus them on the specific adversaries and attack types that are relevant to your organization, so that you can be more efficient with your cybersecurity prevention and detection efforts.

Managing the Insider Threat 4:25 pm
Add to Calendar20220915 4:25 pm20220915 4:45 pmAmerica/New_YorkManaging the Insider Threat
An adversary who attacks an organization from within can prove fatal to the business and is generally impervious to conventional defenses. Social science research has been used to explain why traditional methods fail against these trusted betrayers. Every company must identify and utilize new management techniques, increase security, and revise workplace strategies for categorizing and defeating insider threats.
There are key players in positions to either effectively support or undermine the insider threats. Leadership style can make a difference in the way an institution recognizes and identifies these threats from rethinking background investigations to recognizing deception and using lawful disruption. Join this session to learn about how organizations must circumvent these predators before they jeopardize the workplace and sabotage business operations.
