A Not So Happy Hour - Why Scammers Have Wine Drinkers Over a Barrel
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.

Conquering Cyber Risk in 3rd Party Communications
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 3rd 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 3rd 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 3rd party business processes.
Live Panel Discussion
"Incident Response Best Practices"
Hear from cybersecurity leaders and experts on:
- Develop an incident response plan before you need it
- Ensure everyone is aligned on the same goal: detection, response, then recovery
- Communicate frequently and with full transparency
- Practice empathy but set expectations – it’s OK not to know the answer

Where Do We Go From Here?: Global Survey Reveals Security Priorities Post-Pandemic
The pandemic — with it’s overnight switch to work-from-home and the resulting challenges from going remote — drove more IT complexity across cybersecurity than ever before.
In fact, IT and security professionals across the globe cite a whopping 77% increase in complexity over the last two years, according to new research from Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG) and Axonius.
In this session, Nathan Burke of Axonius, takes a deep dive into the findings from the report, “Cybersecurity Asset Management Trends 2021: How the Rapid Shift to Remote Work Impacted IT Complexity and Post-pandemic Security Priorities.”
He’ll share key trends — like how 55% of IT and cybersecurity pros cite remote workers as the leading cause of complexity (up over 30% from last year), driving plans to increase investments in asset inventory for 82% of organizations.
Join “Where Do We Go From Here?: Global Survey Reveals Security Priorities Post-pandemic” to learn:
- How security teams are transforming policy and infrastructure post-pandemic
- Key strategies security teams are using as employees return to the office for the first time in over a year
- Why security teams are prioritizing automating asset inventories in 2021

The Art of Compliance: How to build a defensible compliance program
When it comes to doing business, being compliant is table stakes. Aside from the obvious necessity of a regulatory framework, it also helps foster a culture of compliance and ethics across your organization — an imperative for minimizing the potential risks and exposures from internal and external sources.
But not all compliance programs are created equal. There’s a big difference between check-the-box annual or biannual compliance and defensible compliance, which empowers organizations to quickly and accurately understand the data they control, where it exists and how to properly secure, access, and manage it.
Yet elevating GRC defensibility doesn’t have to be dauntingly complex. In fact, it can be as simple as leveraging a fully integrated and automated technology solution and taking five key steps.
Join Reciprocity CISO Scott McCormick and SVP of Sales Rob Ellis as they break down what defensible compliance is, why you need it, and how to build GRC defensibility in your organization.
During this event they will discuss:
- Moving to a zero-trust model
- Why certifications are just the start
- How automation future-proofs for change
-
Reframing the narrative from a cost center to profit protector/business enabler
Presentation
Past, Present, Future: Zero Trust Architecture
In this webinar you will learn:
- How to maximize existing security controls, security capabilities, and investments
- Pragmatic application of zero-trust principles to traditional and SaaS environments
- What’s new in tactics and strategies for protecting hybrid environments
Data breaches grab headlines. Good security is steady. As organizations expand their perimeter beyond the firewall through software-as-a-service (SaaS) and hybrid applications, it becomes more important than ever to have a strategy covering user access regardless of location. But alongside developments in new tools, data privacy laws have also developed and add to compliance requirements for managing these data and tool. Meanwhile, modernization efforts are introducing new risks as well. While many industries have adopted zero-trust strategies to address these challenges of the expanded perimeter, many admins remain wary of this trend and question if it is a fit for environments which often have a hefty legacy technology footprint.
However, many of these “new” strategies remain firmly rooted in tried-and-true best practices admins have followed for decades. The principles of logical segmentation, least-permissive access, economy of mechanism, adaptive policy controls, and strong authentication are simply evolving to accommodate new use cases rather than being replaced. Join this session with Duo Security Advisory CISO Wolfgang Goerlich for a grounded discussion of the unique needs and concerns for modern IT teams based on real-world examples, and how concepts like device trust and context-aware access can improve security design without leaving crucial inherited or legacy systems out in the cold.
