The unpredictable nature of the cybersecurity analyst’s job makes the day-to-day challenging, to say the least. Too many alerts, too many tools to keep up with, and too much pressure to get it all right. There are powerful lessons that can make the daily job of the operator more beneficial to the organization and can lead to personal change. This session presents a holistic, integrated approach for solving the pressing problems, adapting a growing attack surface, and taking advantage of opportunities created by change.

The IT Revolution we have experienced over the last few years has forced organizations to their own security revolution. The degradation of the perimeter, the growth of BYOB devices, cloud migrations and human behavior are all factors that can bring an organization to its proverbial knees.

What must an organization do to maintain its business and operational excellence? It must build a Modern Security Program based on threat intelligence, predicted outcomes, a layer of defenses and security expertise. That Security Program must be able to prevent, detect, respond AND remediate on a 24 x7 schedule.

Join us to learn how MDR can help accelerate your movement up the security maturity curve, allowing your security team to focus on strategic priorities rather than chasing down alerts while delivering strategic insights to your business leaders–ultimately building a Modern Security Program that can meet the needs of the IT Revolution.

The Enterprise Content Firewall

To do their jobs, employees must share IP, PII, PHI, and all means of sensitive content with customers, suppliers, partners and a broad ecosystem of trusted 3^rd parties. However, they put the organization at risk when they communicate across untrusted devices, networks, applications and identities. How can you prevent beaches and compliance violations from everyday 3^rd party communications when you can’t even see what’s going on? This session explores the need for a next-generation “content firewall” that rises above packets and traffic to inspect content and communication, and thereby ensure confidentiality, compliance and control of risky 3^rd party business processes.

As the COVID-19 pandemic forced lockdowns around the world many people took to virtual happy hours to stay connected with friends, family and colleagues. The birth of virtual happy hours led to a sharp rise in the number of wine-themed domains being registered. As usual, scammers were quick to notice this trend and jumped on it, significantly increasing the number of malicious wine-themed domains registered as well. This presentation discusses the trends in malicious wine-themed domains, who was being targeted and how organizations can protect themselves.

Among rapidly evolving technological advancements, the emergence of AI-enhanced malware is making cyber-attacks exponentially more dangerous, and harder to identify. As AI-driven attacks evolve, they will be almost indistinguishable from genuine activity, and conducted at an unprecedented speed and scale. In the face of offensive AI, only defensive AI can fight back, detecting even the most subtle indicators of attack in real time, and respond with surgical actions to neutralize threats – wherever they strike.  

In this session, discover:

• How cyber-criminals are leveraging AI tools to create sophisticated cyber weapons
• What an AI-powered spoofing threat may look like, and why humans will not be able to spot them
• Why defensive AI technologies are uniquely positioned to fight back

No matter the size or industry, company leaders recognize that minimizing external threats are of paramount importance. As a result, companies value their SOCs and consider them critical to their cybersecurity strategy, however, it is not always easy to quantify the ROI of these investments. In this session you will not only learn how to capture the ROI, but to improve it as well.

1. Understand the 1-10-60 rule and why it matters and how to measure against it
2. You will learn what is impacting overall ROI
3. Actionable tactics you can take to improve ROI
4. ROI isn’t only about money, but other factors impact the bottom line

In today’s world, CISO’s around the world have deployed MFA as a means to counter credential theft. This leads to introducing endless MFA prompts throughout the IT ecosystem whether that be a cloud service, perimeter network device or an internal resource. In this session you will learn how AI and Machine Learning can dramatically reduce the number of times a user is ever asked to provide MFA. You’ll also learn about:

• What a user’s authentication journey would look like by using machine learning
• How it can drastically reduce account take over
• Why traditional MFA/SSO context engines provide a false sense of security
• Why it’s important to consider user behavior during an authentication request
