Entrusted with protecting the personal information of their residents, with securing critical infrastructure, and with overseeing fair elections, local governments face few challenges more pivotal than cyber security. Yet most cities and counties rely on an outdated approach to defending their networks: relying on traditional security tools that detect only known threats and incident responders who can only investigate these threats so quickly.

With never-before-seen attacks striking municipal networks at machine speed, these governments need more help to keep pace with the sophisticated criminals targeted them.

Join us to learn:

• Why only self-learning security tools can catch never-before-seen cyber-attacks
• Where criminals have found weaknesses in municipal infrastructure environments
• How to protect your network from machine-speed attacks
• What gaining 100% network visibility of your entire digital estate can reveal about the largely uncharted vulnerabilities that attackers are targeting today

Unused or unmonitored SSH keys grant alarming levels of privileged access beyond users, proliferating into your machine-to-machine communications and services. Learn how securing your SSH inventory beyond your PAM solution helps compliance with NIST, FISMA, and CDM along with five steps you can take today to strengthen SSH security in this presentation.

When it comes to attack trends, we are seeing a much higher degree of sophistication than ever before. While nation-states continue to set a high bar for sophisticated cyberattacks, some financial threat actors have caught up to the point where we no longer see the line separating the two. Financial attackers have improved their tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs) to the point where they have become difficult to detect and challenging to investigate and remediate. What should we prepare for next?

In the last year, we’ve seen a significant increase in cyber activity, from propaganda through “information warfare” to mass-scale cybercrime. Increasing political tensions complicate an already complex international response. Differing approaches to cyber and privacy risk in Europe and the United States have caused tension and risk for business. What are the implications for long-term cybersecurity resiliency around the world? This session explores international cybersecurity policies and nation-state risks and review how they are expected to affect your operations and your business.

From data breaches to identity theft, the challenges and pace of change facing fraud teams has never been greater. This comes at the same time that legitimate customers expect engagement channels with as little friction as possible. Biometrics is one of the most powerful ways that organizations are meeting these dual priorities. Simon Marchand, CFE, Adm.A., will share the latest advances in biometric fraud prevention strategies and how they are evolving to stay one step ahead of fraudsters. He’ll also detail how organizations include banks and telecommunications companies are using biometrics to combat account takeover and subscription fraud while delivering the frictionless experiences that customers want.
