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

Threats continue to evolve in complexity at unprecedented rates, making it a challenge to identify legitimate threats and respond timely. Having a threat management approach is key and infused with AI and Machine Learning, we can make decisions faster, identify threats earlier, perform investigations better, and begin response much sooner. These capabilities and tools can help at each phase of the threat management lifecycle to cover a broader spectrum of the threat landscape, efficiently analyze, and ultimately make more intelligent decisions.

Speaker:
Dan Fein, Director of Email Security Products, Americas, Darktrace

Today, 94% of cyber-threats still originate in the inbox. 'Impersonation attacks' are on the rise, as artificial intelligence is increasingly being used to automatically generate spear-phishing emails, or 'digital fakes', that expertly mimic the writing style of trusted contacts and colleagues.

Humans can no longer distinguish real from fake on their own - businesses are increasingly turning to AI to distinguish friend from foe and fight back with autonomous response. In an era when thousands of documents can be encrypted in minutes, 'immune system' technology takes action in seconds - stopping cyber-threats before damage is done. Find out how in this session.

Speaker:
Samer Faour, Sales Engineer, Exabeam

Outdated threat hunting procedures hold your security program back - both in the time it takes to seek out attacker behaviors, and the level of effort involved to ascertain whether the threat still persists. In this talk, Samer Faour of Exabeam will explain how to modernize and galvanize your threat hunting program with analytics and TTPs, putting you in better stead to detect attacks earlier in the chain.

Covered in this session:

• Recognizing the gaps in traditional threat hunting
• Understanding of the tactics, techniques, or procedures (TTPs) of threat hunting
• Pairing TTPs with data analytics
• How to find unknown anomalies

Speaker:
Renee Tarun, Deputy CISO, Fortinet

With unprecedented levels of remote working, organizations have had to respond quickly and prioritize IT and security requirements in a rapidly changing environment. In these uncertain times, organizations will need to be prepared for a variety of challenges to ensure secure operations. Organizations will need to shore up their networks to prepare for the influx of applications, devices, and other technologies necessary to support and protect customers, employees, and their business. This session will help organizations understand how to pivot quickly, where to focus their attention, and be strategic in their planning for both today's and tomorrow's security challenges.

Speaker:
Sol Cates, Principal Technologist, Thales Cloud Protection & Licensing

As businesses accelerate their migration of core processes and data to the cloud, security remains a top consideration. Security concerns remain the #1 roadblock to cloud adoption. Despite that, the migration continues as organizations seek to gain the benefits of scale and flexibility. But managing the security of your cloud-based assets can be complicated and expensive. Cloud providers offer some native solutions, like encryption, but if you operate in a multi-cloud environment, as most businesses do, then you end up having to manage multiple solutions with each provider you use. Join ISMG and Thales as we discuss the challenges of managing cloud security and how utilizing non-native solutions might be a better approach to addressing security priorities like encryption.

Speaker:
Dave Lewis, Global Advisory CISO, Duo Security at Cisco

Security debt is a real problem for most organizations in the world today, and attackers will utilize this to their advantage. In addition to keeping system hygiene at front of mind, defenders need to focus on proper network zone segmentation or, the more popular term these days, zero-trust networks. The old conceptual style of a castle wall and moat to defend a network was deprecated several years ago. As a result of the dissolution of the traditional perimeter, a stronger focus has to be placed on the strength of authentication, authorization, and trust models for the users.

The antiquated notion of an information security practitioner running through the office brandishing their flaming sword of justice above their heads screaming "thou shall not pass" has at long last reached the denouement. Whether you are responsible for the security in a financial organization or one that makes teddy bears it is necessary to adapt and learn to trust, but verify.

Join Cisco for this talk on Zero Trust.
