Humans are inherently both trusting & distrusting, without even knowing it!

We pick up on innumerable subtle micro expressions & nuances of our environment, instantly spotting what’s out of place. Without a second thought, our computer brains process & alert us to “things out of place” & focus our attention, silencing distractions so we can verify trust.

In this session, Eddie Doyle will demonstrate that when we design systems after our neuro-biology, we can focus our networks to eliminate threats in much the same manner as our natural born instincts.

In an increasingly connected world, securing your infrastructure from bad actors is paramount to continuing business operations. In this session, we will discuss the Security Toolkit and what it means for the prevention of, and recovery from, ransomware attacks. With new exploits being found every day, IT departments of all sizes need to plan for the next attack. The tools in the Security Toolkit will provide the best possible defense against these attacks, as well as ensure timely recovery when an exploit is finally successful.

Data Loss Prevention is a misnamed and misapplied technology – not all data is in scope, you will never cover every loss scenario, and while protecting data sounds like a great idea in theory, in practice data protection isn’t always the optimal goal. Many organizations are required to deploy DLP technology to comply with a regulatory compliance requirement or to protect specific intellectual property. This session will cover a brief history of DLP, how you should go about taking a people-centric approach to designing your information protection program, and using metrics for success that matter, as well as how to communicate your program to a non-technical audience

In the immediate aftermath of a ransomware attack, executives too often face a difficult dilemma: either pay a ransom, or shut down critical systems and services. In today’s increasingly complex digital ecosystems, the collateral damage that ensues from ransomware attacks can be broad-ranging and destructive, with organizations taking days, weeks, or even months to recover.

But what if there was another way out – a way to surgically contain ransomware in its earliest stages, without disrupting normal business operations?

Join this presentation to learn how Self-Learning AI is helping thousands of organizations fight back against ransomware. We’ll discuss:

• The impact of ‘double-extortion’ ransomware and ‘ransomware-as-a-service’
• Real-world examples of ransomware detected by Self-Learning AI
• How Self-Learning AI responds proportionately to ransomware, thanks to its deep understanding of an organization’s pattern of life.
