With remote work, organizations around the world are at a greater risk of cyber threats than ever before, and cybercriminals are taking advantage of the situation. In this session, you will examine the biggest challenges security leaders face, and why a people-centric approach to security is everyone’s biggest opportunity to better protect their organization.

In this session, you will explore:

• How remote work and the move to the cloud has changed the nature of threats to data
• The ways in which organizations are building controls to better understand and protect their employees
• The impact of changing behaviors, employee culture and workplace environment on people risk
• How today’s threats are informing your data protection practices/controls

Whether you are just moving into the cloud, researching more options within the public cloud, or building your own private cloud, most leaders agree that this is the future of infrastructure as a service. But can CISOs have it all – both increased productivity and cost benefits within a secure cloud?

During this peer-discussion you will explore:

• Automation, orchestration, AI and machine learning cloud strategies
• Nuances for hybrid on- and off-premise systems
• Ways to incorporate the cloud into a fully articulated security strategy

The majority of corporate ransomware attacks involve the compromise of Active Directory and the SolarWinds Congressional hearings highlighted critical security gaps related to privilege escalation and lateral movement detection.  Defending against this stage 2 of an attack has escalated to atop 2021 priority for every CISO. Active Directory is inherently complex and insecure, and without the right tools to understand vulnerabilities and live attacks, comes with dire consequences when its control is lost to an attacker.

Join this session discuss methods to strengthen your defense strategy, including:

• Why Active Directory is the attack vector of choice for 2021
• How ransomware uses AD to accomplish their goals
• How data cloaking conceals credentials, AD objects, and data to prevent lateral movement and derail attacks
• What automated tools can be deployed to improve your security posture and accelerate detection of AD live attacks.

Many third-party risks are identified after initial onboarding and due diligence, suggesting traditional methods in risk management policy fail to capture new and evolving risks. As these external partnerships become increasingly complex, the need for a new vendor risk management approach is clear.

Join this conversation to discuss:

•Establish business-driven methods for ongoing risk management analysis

•Partner across the C-Suite to establish organizational buy-in

•Strategies to employ an iterative approach to ongoing relationship management

Security threats have been around for decades, but lately the nature of those threats has changed - the security of supply chains has come to the forefront as an urgent issue for enterprises. CISOs understand that in this interlinked world, they’re only as secure as the weakest link in their supply chain.

Join this keynote to explore:

• New approaches for managing third-party and supply chain partners
• How much can, and should, CISOs control their supply chain
• Tools and strategies that will help you make the best choices for your organization
