Ransomware is a prevalent cybersecurity threat. Threat actors are constantly changing tactics looking for new ways to force ransom payments. With each new emerging ransomware threat family, the size and scope of threats are more aggressive too. This has led to incredible increases in the average ransoms paid over the past eighteen months. In this session, we will look at recent ransomware trends, the critical changes to threat actor behaviors, and discuss the strategies and technologies organizations need to defend themselves against this evolving threat.

With APIs pervasive across your organization, powering apps, and enabling digital transformation, you need to consider whether your existing infrastructure and security tools can identify security gaps before they become incidents and if they can withstand an industrialized attack. API coding errors and malicious bots are a significant cause of fraud and theft-related revenue losses, infrastructure overspending, poor customer experience, and brand damage.

In this talk, we'll explore several case studies of API attacks and techniques and discuss what's needed to protect your applications and your business from suffering damages.

Key takeaways

How attackers are evolving to bypass detection

How cybercriminals beat traditional approaches

How Machine Learning and AI can provide help detect and defend against malicious bots

Why an end-to-end API security strategy is imperative to making your apps less attractive to criminals

Speaker:
Scott McAvoy, Cloud Security Competency Lead, IBM

The global pandemic has accelerated digital transformation and cloud adoption for all organisations. This journey to cloud has created some challenges for the security teams, who already are overwhelmed with volumes of security events and suffering with the security data spread across multiple tools, clouds and IT environments. However, the journey to Cloud also represents an opportunity to get Security right. Join this session to hear the lessons on how to get Security right with an open and integrated Security approach.

Speaker:
Tom Smith, Solutions Architect, Veracode

Veracode recently released its first State of Software Security: Open Source edition report to analyse data on open source libraries that could expose companies to data breach risk. We found that 71% of all applications contain flawed open source libraries, and that the majority of those flaws come from downstream dependencies that might escape the notice of developers. A single flaw in one library can cascade to all applications that leverage that code. Open source software has a surprising variety of flaws. An application's attack surface is not limited to its own code and the code of explicitly included libraries, because those libraries have their own dependencies. In reality, developers are introducing much more code, but if they are aware and apply fixes appropriately, they can reduce risk exposure.

What you will come away with:

• The prevalence of open source libraries in applications
• The types of vulnerabilities most common in open source libraries
• The best practices for addressing the security vulnerabilities in open source code

Speaker:
Simon Jackson, Director Systems Engineering, A10 Networks Inc

Modern cyberattacks are not limited to network intrusions from outside by hackers. "Internal threat actors" can often be found at the center of a complex mix of simple social engineering attacks and sophisticated, multi-staged infections and data breaches.

The Zero Trust model, based on the simple principle of "trust nobody", defines rules which enhance the security of networks against modern cyberattacks, whether they are initiated from the outside or within. However, with most of the internet traffic being encrypted, it is becoming increasingly difficult to implement the Zero Trust model in an effective way.

The session will cover:

• The role of "internal threat actors" and TLS encryption in modern cyberattacks
• How the Zero Trust model defines the future of cybersecurity
• Why effective decryption is essential for a fool proof Zero Trust strategy

Speaker:

Security orchestration, automation, and response (a.k.a. SOAR) is the cool kid on the block in security right now. Implementing SOAR requires a both a strategic and a tactical approach, in order to avoid pitfalls and ensure ongoing success. The benefits of SOAR are many-fold - such as improving operational efficiency and accuracy, reducing risk, and deriving more value from your current security stack. Considering why, when, and how your organisation should embark on a SOAR initiative requires careful planning. Choosing the right tools and technologies, selecting the right processes, and implementing the right measurements are key to the success of many an initiative, and in the case of SOAR are absolutely vital. During this session you will learn:

The fundamentals of SOAR

How SOAR can help your organisation, in more ways than you might think

How to approach your SOAR initiative

What you should and shouldn't automate

How to measure SOAR success
