10:30AM – 11:45AM Concurrent Session 1

 

1A: People (Technical)

 

The people on our networks hold the ‘keys to the kingdom.’ Everyone from the individual end user, to our system administrators, to our organization’s senior leaders can be (and will be) targeted. Ensuring all aspects of our users’ accounts are properly secured, including: login (using multiple factor authentication), email (training on spear phishing campaigns), and ensuring least privilege is enforced (from basic user to system administrators); are major keys to successfully defending our organizations’ networks. Cyber security professionals must have a functional and technical understanding of user anomalous activity, and have systems in place to detect, inform, and repair anomalous user activity before (and after) any security incident. Additionally, organizations must have in place policies and procedures to train, inform, and potentially discipline users who act outside of their specific roles on the network. These concepts are crucial to the overall security of our organizations’ networks.

1B: People (Leadership)

 

The number one attack vector for our cyber security systems has been, and more than likely will always be, our people. As technology and security improve, user awareness must also improve. Identifying insider threats, whether malicious or accidental, is a crucial part of securing an organization’s systems. Leaders must know their people, what drives them, and how to be honest with them, in order to ensure organizational loyalty, trust, and reliability. Accidents will occur, however, minimizing those accidents, and understanding how to mitigate them in the future, is paramount to securing our organizations through their people.

NOON – 1:30PM

 

NOON – 1:15PM Intrusion Lunch Panel

 

“You have been breached, whether you know it or not.”

Creating a Cyber Security Incident Response Plan will provide the playbook to respond to an organizational breach. Conducting Tabletop IR Planning exercises for your team will better ensure proper execution to minimize the reputational, legal, and financial impact of the incident – be it ransomware, spearfishing, or insider threat.

2:50PM – 3:50PM Concurrent Session 3 – Networks

 

3A: Networks (Technical)

One of the keys to a successful defense, rests in the network itself. First and foremost in building a successful network defense, is understanding the attack surface, in other words, having an accurate map. This becomes more and more challenging as companies leverage cloud-based services, dynamic containers, and software defined networks. This panel focuses on the technical aspects of developing and maintaining a secure network while still achieving business agility. In addition to visualizing your defensible landscape, the panel will cover relevant topics, such as deciding between in-house or outsourced services, building a comprehensive security architecture that spans multiple network technologies, and incorporating layered defenses and data isolation.

  • Panelist: Dr. Fernando Maymí, CISSP, Director of Professional Services at IronNet
  • Panelist: Tim Teal, President, SIXGEN 

 

 

3B: Networks (Leadership)

In today’s business environment, containers and microservices have enabled organizations to meet constantly changing and increasing demand, but they have also changed the very nature of the network. Further, the near-ubiquity of mobile computing and the adoption of software defined networking (SDN) have pushed the network edge beyond previous limits, forcing organizations to rethink what the network is. The trouble is, some organizations are not rethinking how to secure this “new network,” and old network security solutions are leaving companies vulnerable.

Visibility, control, security, and maintaining governance and compliance are all critical for managing your infrastructure — for virtual networking and operations. However, these are becoming more difficult and time consuming as your infrastructure evolves to a mix of bare metal, virtual, cloud, and container environments. How can you maintain security, governance, compliance and reduce risk amid this growing complexity?
