Chicago Cybersecurity Conference

In the face of skyrocketing cyber risk, detecting and responding to attacks is no longer enough. Organizations must take proactive steps to prevent threats before they happen, and to recover if compromised. In this session, Darktrace unveil an ambitious new approach to security, with core engines powering AI technologies to prevent, detect, respond, and ultimately heal from attacks across all areas of their digital environment. Together, these engines combine to strengthen organizations’ security posture in a virtuous AI feedback ‘loop,’ which provides powerful end-to-end, bespoke, and self-learning solutions unique to each organization.

Malicious actors are attacking companies of all sizes, necessitating an enterprise-quality cyber resiliency strategy and scalable toolset for small and medium sized organizations. The likelihood of ransomware attacks has transitioned from ‘if’ to ‘when,’ and many discover too late that they have gaps in their disaster recovery plans.

Do you have the right people, tools, and testing in place to protect your most valuable asset 24/7 – your data?

Get key insights from Thrive and TitanHQ on the benefits of a multi-layered cybersecurity framework to protect email, cloud, and hybrid IT environments for businesses of any size.

Hear about businesses like yours that found solutions to:

• Protect across the three main attack surfaces – endpoints, network, and cloud/SaaS
• Protect email and end users against spam, phishing, and social engineering attacks
• Use immutable backup for resiliency from ransomware, sophisticated attacks, and data loss
• Detect and respond to cyber threats using actionable recommendations and observations
• Backup and recover Microsoft 365 Exchange, Teams, OneDrive for Business and SharePoint Online
• Build resilient and flexible disaster recovery for any budget

The day of a breach, commonly referred to as "cyber game day," is not the opportune moment to determine your ability to effectively counteract an attack and execute an effective incident response. One must adopt an attacker's mindset as the sole means of honing their craft. It is imperative to assess one's capabilities prior to the actual breach proactively. Learn how to rigorously challenge and evaluate the efficacy of your preventive and detection measures in the face of real-world attacks on a continuous basis. Quantify your security posture and how to ensure confidence in your resilience to everyday threat actors in an ever changing threat landscape.

 Malware detection fails for zero days and other novel attacks. People are getting better at detecting phishing and other malware, but are not reliable enough to be enterprise grade! We provide protection without relying on detection, and in a form that is largely transparent to the user.

Recent years have seen a rapid shift to remote work and to new models for engaging with customers. This rush for deployment has often left gaps in data security that put sensitive data at risk, and ransomware actors have been quick to exploit those gaps. Join this session to learn about your best options for protecting your data, both on-prem and in the cloud. The focus will be on specific, vendor-neutral technical strategies that can be put in place quickly to prevent successful ransomware attacks. Strategies recommended will be informed by the latest data on the mechanics and aftermath of ransomware attacks, drawn from Veeam's 2023 Ransomware Trends Report.

What does it mean to be in a constant state of Cyber Readiness? What is Zero Trust architecture and how do you get there from a state of legacy networks and security? How can Battle-Tested Systems convert your organization from defense to offense? 

The new era of Cyber Security requires an organization to be Cyber Ready, not just passively prepared. We will present what that journey looks like and how it is driven by a Zero Trust framework and Battle-Tested Systems. Continuous improvement is key, and, on too many occasions, organizations believe they are protected and do not try to improve their systems until an actual, potentially catastrophic breach has occurred. This moment of epiphany is entirely avoidable, and we will show you that path to being proactive. 

Posture Matters, and in this presentation, we will answer all these questions as well as some of your own. We will show you the why, the how, and what you can do right now to fortify your perimeter against the increasingly sophisticated attacks of today and tomorrow while in any stage of your Zero Trust Journey.

AI is often used by cybersecurity product to help detect security incidents. By analyzing behaviors, analysts can leverage this technology to spot malicious traffic in a network, suspicious activity by insider threats, and questionable endpoint behavior. However, what if AI learning models were trained to detect shifts in techniques and methods to prevent incidents? See how Conceal’s SherpaAI gives security teams the ability to proactively address threats posed by malicious web pages.

With the volumes of data produced by all the signals in the modern enterprise infrastructure humans can no longer meaningfully consume and make sense of it. Meanwhile, attacks on your business are getting more and more sophisticated. Join this session to learn how Elastic applies ML and AI to enable cybersecurity analysts (not data scientists) all around the world and to help them solve this challenge.
