As organizations look to adopt new security principles and network architectures like Zero Trust, they leave a critical gap – email. Around 91% of all cyber attacks begin with a phishing email, and newer attacks like Business Email Compromise directly impact the bottom line.Moreover, these attacks don’t need sophisticated malware or network intrusion to succeed; they exploit the implicit trust we place in our email communications. Join this session to: Learn how phishing attacks use trust and business logic as attack techniques Get common success criteria used for evaluating Zero Trust and anti-phishing solutions See how Zero Trust principles can be extended to email

Bad actors have recognized the power of open source and are now beginning to create their own attack opportunities. This new form of assault, where OSS project credentials are compromised and malicious code is intentionally injected into open source libraries, allows hackers to poison the well.  In this session, Sonatype will explain how both security and developers must work together to stop this trend. Or, risk losing the entire open source ecosystem.

  • Analyze, and detail, the events leading to today’s “all-out” attack on the OSS industry
  • Define what the future of open source looks like in today’s new normal
  • Outline how developers can step into the role of security, to protect themselves, and the millions of people depending on them

Zero-Trust: What it means and how to take a holistic approach to securing modern IT ecosystems

From web applications to email and software supply chains – every facet of an organization’s digital ecosystem requires robust protection. A zero-trust architecture can mean a lot of things and be daunting to implement, but it’s critical to prevent the pervasive risk of file-borne threats that could include malware, viruses, ransomware, and malicious scripts, often camouflaged within innocuous file formats.

The foundational steps to fortify defenses begin with asset and data identification, data flow mapping, access controls, network segmentation, and incident response planning. However, what’s next, and how do you continue to build a zero-trust security architecture? The answer lies in a layered defense strategy, incorporating true zero-trust technologies to not only drive compliance but mature your cybersecurity posture.

This layered approach should include multiscanning to significantly enhance threat detection rates, data sanitization to ensure file safety before use, country of origin detection to prevent potentially malicious code or files from infiltrating the organization, and Data Loss Prevention (DLP) to ensure the integrity of sensitive data by scrutinizing files prior to their transit. Finally, emerging technologies like adaptive threat analysis can provide actionable threat intelligence, enabling organizations to stay one step ahead of potential adversaries.

Experts at OPSWAT know first-hand what it takes to safeguard digital assets and ensure the resilience of organizations’ IT and OT infrastructure. Hear Joe Edwards, VP of Global Sales Engineering share his insights on implementing and maintaining robust zero-trust security in this evolving and complex threat landscape.
