in this session we'll first examine the current state of bot automation and the different attack modalities currently conducted through machine automation. We'll then dive into attacker tools, their infrastructure, and compromised credentials to demonstrate how they were used against a major retailer in a real-world attack. We will cover everything from detection to mitigation, and we'll also explore the use of Machine Learning algorithms and Artificial Intelligence as valuable countermeasures against this ever-evolving threat.

Join us as we explore:

• Understanding of specific types of malicious bot attack tools
• Insight into the specialized support infrastructure that enables automated bot attacks
• How Artificial Intelligence and machine learning are applied to identify and separate bots from human

Fifty-four percent of survey respondents say their institutions' digital authentication measures are average or below when compared to their peers. And 55 percent rate themselves at average or below when it comes to their institution's current ability to apply the right amount of security to the right transactions at the right time. These are among the key results of The State of Adaptive Authentication in Banking survey.

In this session, learn more about the survey results and receive live, expert analysis about:

• How to benchmark where your organization is on the road of adaptive authentication;
• Business benefits to be gained;
• Tools, skills and partnerships to get you there.

Countries around the world are making significant investments in both cyber defense and cyber offense technologies. These sophisticated and advanced nation-state level attack capabilities are now being targeted to the private sector. In fact, these highly advanced mechanisms of cyber assault are continuously evolving and are available for sale in the Darknet, enabling hackers to become extremely powerful attackers. The question arises - How can organizations protect themselves in today's cyber reality? Good news is - It is possible.

In his presentation, Ran Shahor, IDF Brigadier General (Ret.) will discuss the solutions, the holistic approach and the secret sauce needed in order for organizations to be protected and stay ahead of the attackers.

Join us for a behind the scenes tour of the largest anti-fraud provider research operation. We discuss how to interlace Machine Learning, cyber threat intelligence, and fraud analysis into agile and accurate fraud prevention.

Taking a use case approach, we will demo a behavioral biometrics detection technology and discuss how to combine it with device hygiene, fingerprint, phishing detection, spoofing attempts and a worldwide fraudster database, among other factors to help prevent fraud and at the same time provide as low as 0.005% alert rates.

Cybersecurity tool sprawl has reached unsustainable levels, and research shows 66% of businesses are striving to consolidate their security portfolio. But over-consolidating to a few platform solutions risks creating a vulnerable, innovation-stifling monoculture. If every organization uses a nearly identical set of security tools, compromising one means compromising them all. Heterogeneity of cybersecurity systems is itself a defense, so security teams need to approach consolidation differently. In this session, attendees will learn:

• How a data-first approach to security architectures can illuminate natural consolidation points
• How collaboration with other parts of the IT organization can improve security posture and reduce tool sprawl.
• How this collaborative approach also creates an opportunity to leverage other parts of the organization to improve security posture through smarter processes and practices.

With cyber threats getting more sophisticated, a key challenge for every security professional is reducing the time to detect and respond to advanced attacks. An important step is to automate network and security operations to keep the business moving while keeping it secure.

This session describes how to:

• Build a comprehensive threat intelligence framework;
• Leverage open source to detect threats;
• Take a threat-centric approach to security to spot anomalies in the network in real time.
