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

What three things you should do to prepare your defenses:

Keeping our customers safe and protected is our highest priority.  The US Federal Gov’t recently issued a warning to the private sector to harden their cyber security infrastructure and defenses based on new intelligence around potential Russia cybersecurity attacks.

What can you do to prepare?

There is no way to know for certain what an attack may look like, but you can prepare.  Join us on and learn what three steps you should immediately take to protect your networks and infrastructure.

Fast-moving cyberattacks can strike at any time, and security teams are often unable to react quickly enough. Join Nicholas Cantoni, Darktrace’s US-West Cyber Security Team Lead, to learn how Autonomous Response takes targeted action to stop in-progress attacks without disrupting your business. The discussion includes real-world threat finds.

Explore today’s threats and challenges and learn how advances in AI have been leveraged to allow for very surgical actions to be taken autonomously – where humans can no longer react fast enough.

Avi Avivi, SafeBreach Chief Information Security Officer, looks at some guiding principles that make a case for using continuous breach attack simulation as one of the best ways to test and exercise your security posture. He examines the notion of abiding by the spirit of the compliance framework vs. the letter of that framework.

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.

Modern software applications and products are assembled from dozens if not hundreds of components, many of which nowadays are open-source projects.  Vulnerabilities like Log4J and Spring4Shell that came to light this year reinforce the need for organizations to rapidly mature the security of their software supply chains. The software industry is still early in our collective adoption of mature software supply chain controls. In this talk, Mr. Wisseman will share some of the best practices that organizations can take to mitigate their software supply chain exposure.
