Ran Shahor, Brigadier General (Ret.), CEO & Founder, HolistiCyber

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.

Bulletproof Proxies have taken the concepts of anonymity and availability found in Bulletproof Hosting and extended them to the automated bot attack delivery infrastructure by using large networks of Residential Proxies that mask identity and location. Bulletproof Proxies allow bad actors to distribute their attacks across legitimate user locations making detection and prevention difficult. This session will cover the following topics:

• The rise of Bulletproof Proxies - how they came to exist
• The balancing act between legitimate and malicious use
• Techniques used to mask their identity and location
• Details on large scale attacks targeting financial services and retail sector

People cause data breaches when using email for a multitude of reasons. They might be tired, rushing or using a mobile device. Or they might be moving to a new job and feel a sense of ownership that entitles them to remove data from their current employer's network.

Yet at as people communicate and collaborate digitally at unprecedented levels, employees will continue to rely on email as an easy mechanism to share information, including sensitive data.

Making email safe for employees to use requires a clear understanding of why breaches happen so that effective solutions can be implemented to mitigate risk. So far, so easy? In our experience, when it comes to insider data breaches, this can be a complex issue that's fraught with difficulties - particularly when trying to mitigate incidents caused by human error and people 'just trying to get their jobs done'.

Alain Sanchez, Office of the CISO, Senior Evangelist, Fortinet

Over the next 10 years, digital transformation is expected to unlock an estimated $10 trillion of value for business and wider society. The 2019 edition of the World Economic Forum in Davos has clearly established security as a strategic contribution for unlocking that value, putting a safe digital transformation at the heart of three major drivers; Education, Ecosystem, and Technology. How can we, Cybersecurity Vendors, Enterprise CISOs, and Partners contribute to such challenge? What are the concrete initiatives, solutions and products that are available now to cash the benefits of the 4th Industrial Revolution.

Mark Tibbs, Cyber Intelligence Director, MDR Cyber

Broadcasters invest billions of pounds in high-quality programming, but Illegal streaming is growing and global losses to piracy have been forecasted to reach over £35bn by 2022. Illegal streaming services are rife online. The operators behind these services share many of the same characteristics of early cybercriminals: They sell their services relatively openly using online platforms and marketing. There are even online communities which support sales of these services.

Mark Tibbs has worked in the field of cyber investigations and intelligence for nearly a decade before joining MDR Cyber, working within British law enforcement and a cyber threat intelligence start-up. This talk presents some of the findings from his research and recommendations about how to tackle this crime.

• What is illegal streaming and why is it so prevalent?
• How does the criminal economy look?
• How can fraud be tackled using both technical and legal options?
