The biggest companies (the Fortune 500 types) are more often than not taking matters into their own hands when it comes to breach prevention, eschewing long-term relationships with vendors and charting their own courses with a dizzying array of technologies. Meanwhile, the “unfortunate” 5,000 and beyond fall further behind, struggling to find talent and budget, while security industry vendors produce evermore granular point products that leave everyone unsatisfied and exhausted. Does this sound like the prospects are good for reducing breaches and fraud? The short answer: No.

During this session, our presenter will review possible paths forward for practitioners, as well as what they should be looking for from vendors, service providers and their own management.

This session will review the latest trends in ongoing and emerging cyberthreats posed by cybercriminals.  An FBI Supervisory Special Agent will walk through the latest tactics being used in ransomware, business email compromise exploits and other cyber-extortion schemes, and discuss the FBI’s stance on how organizations can and should mitigate their risks and respond.

We will kick off this panel discussion and set the tone about cybersecurity in the Trump era with a 10-minute overview of the cybersecurity challenges DHS is addressing.

From there, the full panel will review how President Donald Trump’s early initiatives on cybersecurity are shaping up. What impact will Trump’s approach to IT security affect government IT, the nation’s critical infrastructure and the private sector as well as the nation’s long-term cybersecurity resiliency? How do they differ from the Obama administration’s methods to secure IT? A panel of cybersecurity experts and policymakers from Republican and Democratic administrations will explore how the new administration’s cybersecurity stance will have an impact not only your IT and security operations but your business or agency, as well.

Cybersecurity is at the top of the agenda in board rooms around the world. In this presentation, our special guest speaker will discuss lessons learned during his military and federal service. Discover how properly executing critical tasks and following through on strategy, policies and procedures are essential to protecting you, your brand and your reputation.

By allowing connections to and from multiple endpoint platform types, organizations are tasked with providing secure transaction channels to a massive number of devices they don’t own and have limited control over. Meanwhile, cybercriminals are developing new attacks targeted directly at this type of communication every day, with maturing multifunction malware, such as Zeus, already infecting millions of endpoints in the U.S. alone.

Privileged accounts have been at the center of each recent high-profile attack. Moreover, attackers are leveraging Privileged credentials as their entry point to high value systems within the network. This session will explain how hackers that successfully exploit these credentials are able to gain a privileged foothold, allowing them unfettered access to elevate privileges and move about the network freely without detection. With a solid understanding of this well-used method of attack, attendees will learn how to properly secure and manage these powerful credentials. During this session our speaker will discuss growing trends in regards to attacks and what Security Leaders are doing to protect their organizations from these advanced attacks and will also walk us through a typical attack that utilizes privileged accounts and how passwords can be exploited to break down the front door. The session will touch on the growth and prevalence of privileged credentials. We will discuss how to securely store and manage credentials and how to reduces the attack surface, specifically attack surfaces favored by insiders and outsiders with insider credentials. We will also discuss detecting credential harvesting and blocking future attempts. All while maintaining governance and compliance standards.
