Boston Cybersecurity Conference

The New Industrial Age, How can we keep our factories and plants safe from cyberattacks beyond the firewall?

With automation changing the landscape, global cyber losses attributable to bot attacks now average between $68-$116B annually. We will examine data from the Imperva Threat Research team to investigate the scope of the challenge, review real-world examples and provide practical steps you can take to prepare for the inevitable security incident.

Threat intelligence has become the latest requirement for organizations looking to bolster their security practices. Buy a feed or three, suck them into your SIEM, automate blocking IOCs, and check the box. And in many ways, that addresses a sizable chunk of the tactical and operational value of threat intel. However, a growing number of organizations are realizing that threat intel can also inform strategy: how and why we train our users, where we should be investing our security resources, and what kinds of conversations executive leadership should actually be having to avoid becoming the latest cautionary tale used to sell more feeds. Join Proofpoint to learn about the increasingly strategic role of threat intelligence modern businesses.

Educational institutions face significant cybersecurity challenges due to unique network infrastructures and security policies, often made vulnerable by users bypassing protections. Recent incidents, such as a North Korean cyberattack using an online game to spread malware, highlight the risks posed by seemingly harmless activities, like students disabling antivirus software to play games on school laptops. While some educational institutions have taken steps to secure their systems, others have seen vulnerabilities exposed through inadequate controls, especially in research labs that store valuable and sensitive data. With schools increasingly targeted by ransomware and data breaches involving personal and financial information, it’s crucial to address these vulnerabilities. Join this session to explore how educational institutions can strengthen cybersecurity defenses against evolving threats.

Daily struggles with technology cost money and a lot of patience. Unnoticed by IT Teams, a buildup of small issues keeps end users from working efficiently.  What if you could predict and prevent tech problems before they surface? We’ll show you how Digital Employee Experience combined with Unified Endpoint Management can drastically improve user experience as well as simplify troubleshooting processes – all while reducing traditional help desk tickets. Looking to transform the way your IT operates? This is the session for you!

As organizations increasingly migrate to the cloud, the landscape of cybersecurity is evolving at a rapid pace. The advent of Artificial Intelligence (AI) brings both unprecedented opportunities and challenges, making it imperative for cloud security strategies to advance accordingly. Join this session to hear from Wiz why organizations are adopting AI-SPM (AI- Security Posture Management) into their CNAPP strategy and how you can effectively secure AI workloads in the cloud while accelerating AI innovation securely.​
