As more and more businesses adopt a SOC team for managing operations, the scope of work for SOC managers and operators continually grows. More sources, more events, and higher expectations. In this session, Jamie Zajac, VP of Product at Recorded Future will speak to 5 ways you can optimize your SOC, emphasizing changes you can make that don’t require you to buy new tools promising to be a silver bullet.

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

2021 is here and many security and IT professionals are faced with the same question: What will the new workforce look like from a people perspective and what security implications do I need to look out for?

Join BeyondTrust to get the winning recipe of how to enable the long-term PAM success. BeyondTrust’s Deputy CTO, Chris Hills will discuss 10 key considerations for building your 2021 PAM strategy that will enable you to be more efficient and secure while effectively supporting employees in the year(s) ahead.

Join this session to learn about:

• The evolution of PAM digital security
• 3 pillars of Privileged Access Management
• 10 must-haves for a successful PAM strategy

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

Cyberthreats represent one of the most significant risks to modern businesses. Malware is pervasive; embedded in videos, hidden in software updates, and uploaded by unsuspecting customers. Yet the tools to investigate these threats are often manual and burdensome to maintain. Organizations recognize these challenges, but simply don’t know how to get started.

This session is a great opportunity to hear about a growing trend from one of ReversingLabs experts, Chip Epps. Chip will discuss centralizing the challenging tasks of investigating files and providing actionable intelligence to the entire organization. Some other areas of focus include:

• Streamlining file analysis and making security more responsive and proactive
• Why centralizing malware research into an enterprise “Malware Lab” is both efficient and effective
• How to benefit all lines of business and reduce cyber risks

This year has seen nearly everything change to some degree—including within the Security Operations Center (SOC). Not only are we seeing a fast-evolving and surging threat landscape with which we must keep up, but we’re also contending with the business’s shifting priorities, budgets, and headcounts—all of which impact how the SOC can operate. To ensure we can continue to stave off threats in this new world, we must make sure the foundational elements of our SOC are in place:

• Threat intelligence
• Threat research
• Detection engineering
• Investigation
• Incident handling

This session will cover considerations for CISOs and infosec leaders within each of these five critical pillars. We’ll explore how organizations can make the most of limited resources and close skills gaps by carefully balancing their internal team’s competencies with outside expertise. Learn the steps you can take to establish a modern, efficient, and ultimately successful SOC of the future.
