How to stop Ransomware BEFORE it starts.

Information Security Practitioners: Stop Enabling, Start Facilitating!,

As we think about the evolution of the information security practice, we transitioned from preventing the business from doing things to enabling them. It is time for us to evolve to facilitate the business.

Am I ready? The Importance of Security Controls Validation

A key challenge for organizations is determining if the investment in detection and response tools are actually performing and making a difference.

A key challenge for organizations is determining if the investment in detection and response tools are actually performing and making a difference. Security teams need a solution that automates processes effectively, and reduces cyber security risk by focusing on the vulnerabilities that matter most.  The Pentera automated penetration testing platform is here to remove these assumptions and show you the true read of your cyber security stack. In this session we will address a new, different approach for security validation, a true shift from a point-in-time test to continuous security validation to discover, prioritize and remediate against the threats that pose the highest risk to the organization before the damage is done.

The Past, Present and Future of Strong Authentication

Authentication is a foundational element of every cybersecurity program. With more than 80% of data breaches and most ransomware incidents stemming from credential-based attacks (e.g., phishing, credential stuffing, RDP brute, etc.), it has become clear that passwords are a fatally flawed authentication method. Unfortunately, many common solutions are “band-aids” on read more…
Authentication is a foundational element of every cybersecurity program. With more than 80% of data breaches and most ransomware incidents stemming from credential-based attacks (e.g., phishing, credential stuffing, RDP brute, etc.), it has become clear that passwords are a fatally flawed authentication method. Unfortunately, many common solutions are “band-aids” on top of passwords and are lacking from both a security and user experience perspective.  Replacing passwords as an authentication factor is finally possible. While eliminating passwords is a critical step in stopping credential-based attacks, it is just a first step on the journey to advanced authentication and access control needed to achieve zero trust.In this talk, we will discuss:

  • A brief history of authentication
  • Changing requirements in the new work from home(or anywhere) business model and cloud-centric architectures
  • Can we gain risk-reduction improvements by converging the traditionally disparate identity and security processes and technologies?
  • A case for continuous user authentication
  • What is device risk and why is the real-time assessment of endpoint security important

What do AI, IA&M, Ransomware, Blockchain, Encryption, and the Cloud all have in common? They are all software – both fueling and exposing the modern enterprise.  Software no longer operates in isolation, but rather a complex, hostile ecosystem that makes it ripe for attack . Compounding the problem is the reliance on 3rd-party, open source, and commercial off-the-shelf software that introduces risk outside our control, as evidenced by the SolarWinds attack last year.

Securing modern software applications means adopting risk-based techniques to build security in and protect in production.

Attend this session to learn:

  • Top software risks we’ll face in 2022
  • Critical mistakes organizations continue to make
  • Why traditional assessments are missing the mark
  • How to get smarter about the cloud

Achieving New Levels of Efficiency, Automation, & Visibility in Third-Party Risk Management

Whether a start-up or an enterprise, you are probably working with multiple vendors, using their software and reliant on their systems. Yet while these external vendors provide invaluable services, they also introduce significant risk to your company’s information security.How do you know if your vendors are meeting required contractual, security and privacy obligations?If you don’t have processes in place to assess the risks these third parties pose, then your answer is most likely you don’t. And this is critical: You need to know the risks of working with third parties and that you can trust them — because if they go down, your business may, too.Assessing risk, however, can be incredibly complex. Traditional risk management approaches that rely on manual processes, spreadsheets and even survey methods don’t scale well and are not automated enough. And they certainly can’t support a third-party vendor network once it reaches a certain size: spreadsheets and email folders become overwhelming, ad hoc processes and reporting cycles create confusion, and manual reviews lead to missed issues and trends. In fact, the more successful an organization is – and the more third-party vendors they work with – the more automation and continuous monitoring are required.
