How I Stole Millions of Dollars Worth of Corporate Secrets from a Major International Airline... and How Cloudflare Could Have Stopped Me
General Session
Session Partner
Tom Fitzgerald

Senior Solutions Engineer at Cloudflare

Add to Calendar 10/17/2024 09:30 AM 10/17/2024 10:05 AM America/Toronto How I Stole Millions of Dollars Worth of Corporate Secrets from a Major International Airline... and How Cloudflare Could Have Stopped Me In a world where cyber threats are increasingly sophisticated, email remains a prime vector for social engineering attacks. In this session, Tom Fitzgerald will explore how Cloudflare’s Cloud Email Security services provide robust protection against email-based threats. The session will begin with a compelling story from Tom’s career as a former physical penetration tester and social engineer, recounting how he once stole millions of dollars worth of corporate secrets from a major international airline. Using this story as a backdrop, Tom will highlight the vulnerabilities that attackers exploit in both the digital and physical realms. He will discuss how Cloudflare’s advanced threat detection and response capabilities can effectively mitigate the risks associated with phishing and other social engineering tactics. Whether you're an IT professional, a security enthusiast, or simply curious about the evolving landscape of cybersecurity, this talk will offer valuable perspectives on protecting your organization from email-based attacks.

New Approaches for Thwarting Cyber Attacks Using MySQL Telemetry Traces, Metrics, and Logs
Session Partner
Mike Frank

MySQL Product Management Director at Oracle

Add to Calendar 10/17/2024 11:00 AM 10/17/2024 11:35 AM America/Toronto New Approaches for Thwarting Cyber Attacks Using MySQL Telemetry Traces, Metrics, and Logs Protecting today’s complex systems across 100s or thousands requires better overall observability. MySQL built-in Telemetry can • Emit up to 400 different metrics • Link together trace data from a browser through apps and micro servers, to the mysql driver down into the server itself. • Provide the telemetry data need to see who made what call from where and more up the stack • Cross reference data from traces, to metrics, to logs. • And more MySQL did this by leveraging the CNCFs OpenTelemetry libraries by building them directly into the MySQL product. In this talk I’ll dive into the MySQL Telemetry data to show what exactly MySQL can emit that can be used to improve security • Trigger events that indicate attacks • Provide data for attack analysis • Find the attack trail and track down the bad guys • Proactively spot and flag weaknesses and deficiencies I’ll show how simple MySQL Telemetry is to set up and configure. All while avoiding data leakage via that data and avoiding usage of privileges accounts typically needed by polling agent methods, removing yet another surface area that can be attacked.

Add to Calendar 10/17/2024 01:35 PM 10/17/2024 02:00 PM America/Toronto Fortifying the Future: The Essential Role of Cyber Vaults in Data Protection In an era dominated by digital disruption, the evolving threat landscape has forced organizations to reevaluate their cybersecurity posture. The surge in ransomware attacks, with their unpredictable patterns, has underscored the urgent need for a resilient data protection strategy by costing organizations both big and small millions of dollars in downtime and data loss. In this presentation, join Shariq Aqil in discussing the importance of deploying Cyber Vaults as a linchpin in fortifying your data's defenses. This presentation will address the current trends and challenges encountered by many organizations in cyber recovery, uncover the best practices related to the design and architecture of on-premises Cyber Vaults, and how to integrate the essential elements of an Isolated Recovery Environment (IRE) and Immutable Data Vault (IDV) to create a cohesive approach to remaining resilient against cyber threats. Explore the imperative of Cyber Vaults in the modern cybersecurity landscape, shedding light on proactive measures to safeguard data and stand resilient against the rising tide of ransomware.

"Guess Who?" The Cloud Detection and Response Board Game
General Sessions

Jake Walker

Sr. Sales Engineer at Sysdig

Add to Calendar 10/17/2024 02:00 PM 10/17/2024 02:25 PM America/Toronto "Guess Who?" The Cloud Detection and Response Board Game In today's cloud security landscape, Cloud Detection and Response (CDR) plays a pivotal role in safeguarding enterprise environments against sophisticated cyber threats. Interestingly, the classic game "Guess Who?" offers a surprisingly apt metaphor for understanding the principles and processes underpinning CDR. "Guess Who?" involves players deducing their opponent's chosen character through a series of yes-or-no questions, systematically narrowing down possibilities based on observable characteristics. Similarly, CDR involves identifying and responding to security threats by continuously monitoring cloud environments, analyzing data in real time, and employing investigative techniques to filter out benign activities from potential security incidents. Both rely on a process of elimination, pattern recognition, and strategic questioning to reach a conclusive identification. Venue: The Westin Bayshore
