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

What must an organization do to remain secure? It must build a Modern Security Program that combines visibility, data analytics and security expertise. That Security Program must be able to prevent, detect, respond AND remediate on a 24 x7 schedule.

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.

The Zero Trust framework is based on the principle of “never trust, always verify.” Join us to learn about Zero Trust, how to adopt it for applications, and the technologies you need to take control of your environment in the fight against ransomware.

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.

Managed Detection and Response (MDR) continues to have significant growth and expected to be over $2 billion in the next 5 years. Many consider this a conservative estimate and there are differing views around MDR so this session is going to focus on answering three questions:

• Is MDR is right for the organization you represent?
• What should you consider for effective detection and response?
• How does a managed approach enable security outcomes?

With Incident Response as the new normal, ensuring that our systems and processes support that effort and threat hunting are working as expected. We will discuss why and how to establish a Continuous Security Validation (CSV) program within your organization. Specifically, how such a program evolves beyond Breach and Attack Simulation (BAS) and provides teams a continuous feedback loop to understand their posture and identify gaps as they arise
