Presentation
Top 5 Ransomware Myths: What the Evolution of Ransomware Means for Businesses
2021 was “the year of ransomware”. But so were 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020 – and so far 2022 is not very different. Ransomware is no longer a problem discussed only in the cybersecurity and tech communities – it is now a regular topic in mainstream media headlines and executive board meetings.
So why is ransomware such a menace, and why can we not seem to get rid of it? One of the reasons is that we seem to miss the continued evolution of ransomware – we keep preparing for the last war. Ransomware in 2022 is very different than ransomware in 2017, yet we still treat it the same way.
Richard De La Torre, Technical Product Marketing Manager will help you to learn more about:
- Ransomware evolution and what we need to un-learn to effectively combat it
- The most common myths, misunderstandings, and misconceptions about ransomware and the threat actors behind it
- The most effective tips to become more cyber resilient and prevent security incidents from turning into catastrophic breaches

Presentation
How AI Can Think Like an Attacker
In the face of skyrocketing cyber risk, detecting and responding to attacks is no longer enough. Organizations must take proactive steps to prevent threats before they happen, and to recover if compromised. In this session, Darktrace unveil an ambitious new approach to security, with core engines powering AI technologies to prevent, detect, respond, and ultimately heal from attacks. Together, these engines combine to strengthen organizations’ security posture in a virtuous AI feedback ‘loop,’ which provides powerful end-to-end, bespoke, and self-learning solutions unique to each organization.

Presentation

Threat Disruption: Securing 2022 from 2021

Keynote
"Transforming Information Security"
In order to combat cyber threats for organizations of all sizes and the supply chain, how information security is delivered and managed require transformation. The burden of securing systems and networks has long been placed on the end organization, resulting in a distributed management requirements that do not scale. Service providers have an opportunity to aid a positive transformation to better scale security for solutions, with an aim towards improving the overall security posture and reducing the security professional deficit. Innovation to deploy security following scalable architectural patterns is paramount.

Why SOCs Fail - The Maturity Model Required for Cyber Resilience
Billions of dollars are spent annually to set up Security programs and operation centers across every industry and yet, according to Risk Based Security, 3,932 breaches were publicly reported in 2020 alone. Why are Security programs failing? Learn how the current operating model contributes to that failure and how a simple maturity model based on outcomes and use cases can make your organization more cyber resilient.
Key Learnings:
Why an outcome-based approach is the only way to offer effective coverage and protection for your organization
How the most successful Security programs use a comprehensive, strategic and end-to-end focused approach to address 95% of all operational issues at scale
Why it is critical that Security programs become more use case-driven and full lifecycle workflow orientated
