• Identity & Access Management: A Growing Need for Mid-Sized Organizations 8:30 am
  Add to Calendar20230209 8:30 am20230209 8:50 amAmerica/New_YorkIdentity & Access Management: A Growing Need for Mid-Sized Organizations

  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

• Zero Trust: Unifying Identity and Device Access 8:50 am
  Add to Calendar20230209 8:50 am20230209 9:10 amAmerica/New_YorkZero Trust: Unifying Identity and Device Access

  As your organization defines what a zero-trust architecture might look like, have you taken initial steps to align it with a cybersecurity maturity model? A zero-trust strategy can reduce risk – it’s more than just a check mark to meet policy and cyber insurance requirements. Applying incremental advancements with identity and device posturing can help to reduce risk. Let’s be sure to know, “Who’s knocking at your front door?” before you let them in.

  Add to Calendar 2:55 pm 3:15 pmAmerica/New_YorkAPI Security: How Are You Securing the #1 Attack Vector?

  No surprise in the era of digital transformation: Gartner predicted that in 2022, application programming interface attacks will become the most-frequent attack vector. And yet many security leaders, when pressed, do not even know how many APIs they have in their environments – never mind their level of security. So, what are you doing proactively to protect your environment from API vulnerabilities, design flaws, and misconfigurations?

  Join the Noname presentation to understand:
  How are adversaries exploiting API security gaps to launch successful attacks?
  What are the top API vulnerabilities, and how are proactive enterprises mitigating them?
  How can API visibility be enhanced for automated monitoring, detection, and response?

  We have surveyed over 1000 companies and 100% did not know that communications were being overlooked in the cyber security compliance checklist. Cyber-attacks are happening because of the communications we are having. Having worked with the Department of Defense for over 19 years we identified that secure communications was missing from the commercial market. We decided to develop the distributive solution for your sensitive communications that delivers the control of your data, companies’ data and client data back to you. We aren’t after your data and we don’t want you to trust us with it.
