and agencies. Within the United State government agencies, and those doing business with government agencies have been mandated to adopt a zero-trust level of security by 2024. This presentation will cover what Zero-Trust is, how it may impact the legitimate security work being carried out by you, and how investigations may be carried out in a Zero-Trust environment.

Breaches happen and 2021 was a record-breaking year for them. According to Identity Theft Resource Center (ITRC) research, there were 1,291 breaches publicly reported in 2021 as of Sept. 2021 compared to 1,108 breaches in 2020; that’s a 17% year-over-year increase. Meanwhile, millions are spent on security operations centers that aren’t stopping the breaches from happening. Join us for a presentation on:

• Why breaches are usually occurring
• How machine learning-driven analytics and automation technologies provide unmatched threat detection, investigation, and response (TDIR) capabilities so security teams can respond more quickly and accurately to seize the breach and mitigate damage
• A simple maturity model based on outcomes and use cases that can vastly improve Security Operations

The Zero Trust framework is based on the principle of “never trust, always verify.” Join us to learn about Zero Trust, how to adopt it for applications, and the technologies you need to take control of your environment in the fight against ransomware.

Zero Trust has got to be one of the most talked about themes in cyber security.  While the term means different things to different people, there are two things that can be agreed on:  it’s a journey worth taking and microsegmentation is a key pillar of that journey. The next question always is how do you get started?

Regardless of the sophistication of ransomware, the end goal is always the same:  get in through a vulnerability and move laterally through your network.  Join this presentation as we help peel back the layers to provide you simple steps to protect yourself from these threats that include:

• Gaining visibility to where you are the most vulnerable
• Closing risky ports
• Leveraging tools you already have in place without adding layers of complexity

While the journey can seem intimidating, we’ll help you realize that it doesn’t take a team of 100 or a PhD to deploy zero trust microsegmentation that will protect your organization and keep ransomware at bay.

Human error is the most common portal for cybersecurity breaches. So it stands to reason that human talent is the most valuable defense against attacks. How can organizations reduce risk by making humans the strongest link in the cyber defense line? In this session, we will be taking a deeper look at:

• How approaches to cyber defense are changing to keep pace with the ever-evolving threats of hackers

• What motivates cyber professionals

• How to make humans the strongest link in the cyber defense line

Email is every bit as crucial an environment to protect as the network and databases because, once compromised, there can be lasting, costly, and damaging effects. Leaning on built in security controls of email platforms or legacy technology are insufficient in providing comprehensive protection against human-related threats over email. Over 75% of firms report that 20% or more of email security incidents get past their existing security controls and they spend on average 600 hours a month in investigation and remediation. However, organizations that deploy Human Layer Security technology feel more prepared to face email security threats and data loss incidents (accidental, negligent, or malicious) with their current tool setup than those who don’t, demonstrating a higher level of maturity when it comes to their readiness to prevent these damaging threats. Human Layer Security is the missing link for today’s enterprise email security stacks. Forrester recommends that organizations consider human layer security to be used.
