Conference Program

8:00am – 9:00am: Registration and Continental Breakfast

9:00am-10:00am:  “Building Effective Attack Surface Management Programs”

Phillip Wylie, Manager, Tech Evangelism & Enablement, Cycognito

Offensive Cybersecurity is becoming more widely used to improve the security postures of organizations, but Offensive Cybersecurity or Attack Surface Management as it is commonly known can be complicated and misunderstood. The building blocks of Attack Surface Management programs red teaming, penetration testing, vulnerability assessments, and vulnerability scanning sometimes get confused.

In this presentation, Phillip Wylie will explain the components of Offensive Cybersecurity and how to utilize them to build an effective Attack Surface Management program. Phillip will be also discussing how to further enhance your Attack Surface Management program by leveraging purple teaming exercises and bug bounty programs.

10:00am -10:30am: Refreshment Break

10:30am-11:30am: “Zero Trust Microsegmentation – Easier Than You Think.”

Christer Swartz, Principal Engineer, Illumio

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 the 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 get started 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.”

Swartz

11:30am-12:30pm: “The Breach; Risk to Consequences”

Doug Howard, CEO, Pondurance

How you determine whether it is an incident or a breach that may or may not involve the exposure of sensitive customer data will determine, among other things:

  • Which organizations should get involved
  • What actions should be taken
  • How it will be resolved
  • If notification is required
  • Who? When? How?

How you respond will determine how you can minimize the monetary, regulatory, and reputational damages and risks to you, your enterprise, and your customers.

1:30pm-2:30pm: “Optimizing BCDR for Hybrid Environments and Remote Workforces”

Things have changed, and data has spread everywhere. Today’s hybrid work environment demands that organizations protect the applications and workloads vital to their operation with no tolerance of downtime. Cybercrime has exploded and is causing organizations to shift their thinking.

In this session, Adam and Brian will share how you can:

  • Create a cyber-resilient BCDR plan
  • Develop a strategy to quickly recover data and applications regardless of where they live
  • Integrate with the right cloud for your organization’s needs
