  Add to Calendar20230615 8:30 am20230615 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.

• The Cybersecurity Skills Shortage 8:50 am
  Add to Calendar20230615 8:50 am20230615 9:10 amAmerica/New_YorkThe Cybersecurity Skills Shortage

  There are currently 310,000 unfilled cybersecurity jobs in the United States, and millions around the world. However, there is no shortage of cybersecurity hopefuls – millions of students, career changers, and people from all walks of life hoping to break into cybersecurity. 

  This session will explore the issues around cybersecurity jobs.  Breaking into the field, the relative need for certifications, formal education, on-the-job training and more.  The discussion will explore the supply and demand disconnect that has been created – resulting in both a ton of great candidates looking for roles, and a cybersecurity skills shortage.

• Managing Risk: Seek Forward Accountability and Assume a Stormy Seas 9:45 am
  Add to Calendar20230615 9:45 am20230615 10:05 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 10:15 am
  Add to Calendar20230615 10:15 am20230615 10:35 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.

  Add to Calendar20230615 11:30 am20230615 11:55 amAmerica/New_YorkProtecting Against Cyber Attacks

  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.

  There are four main bubbles of risks: IT, Financial, Reputation/Brand, Geopolitical. We will discuss the impact of current geopolitical changes that have made 2022 a year filled with warfare, cybersecurity, compliance and data protection issues. Looking forward in 2023 what can we expect and how do we make sure we are prepared to deal with these evolving geopolitical changes?

• Supply Chain & Third Party Risk Management 2:35 pm
  Add to Calendar20230615 2:35 pm20230615 2:55 pmAmerica/New_YorkSupply Chain & Third Party Risk Management

  A supply chain encompasses the entire network of all the individuals, organizations, resources, activities and technology involved in the creation and sale of a product.  The ultimate goal of an effective supply chain is lower costs of doing business thus resulting in higher profits and improved customer satisfaction.  The process of bringing in a third party involves identifying, assessing and controlling all the various risks that can develop over the entire lifecycle of such relationships. 

  Join this session to drive into how sophisticated attackers can live quietly inside even organizations with significant expertise and mature security processes.

  Add to Calendar20230615 3:20 pm20230615 3:40 pmAmerica/New_YorkOperational Technology (OT) & Industrial Control Systems (ICS): Cybersecurity Concerns

  Since the Stuxnet worm was first discovered back in 2010, attacks related to SCADA systems have been of concern. While manufacturing and utility organizations tend to talk about them more, there are wide implications across the cybersecurity landscape that touch on ICS and OT systems of all kinds. 

  This session will talk about why these types of attacks represent a primary concern, and what state-of-the-art looks like in terms of building protections.

  Even before SolarWinds Orion Code Compromise, Supply Chain Attacks were up over 400% in 2020. As we move through 2023, this attack vector will continue to  receive tremendous attention. Along with third-party risk in general, partner organizations and software systems with unfettered, privileged, deep access to infrastructure create a “perfect storm” threat for modern cyber executives.  

  In this session we will discuss these challenges in detail, as well as the multiple approaches to identify the best means of using supply chains while keeping the third-party risks at a minimum.
