Zero Trust: Optimizing Business with a Modern Approach to Security
Digital transformation efforts have taken on new urgency in the last year. At the same time, for many business, digitizing their offerings and operations is entirely reliant on their ability to do so securely. Zero trust has emerged as an ideal approach for protecting the organization from the risks of modern business: disjointed infrastructures, a distributed workforce and consumer demand for a connected experience. In this session, we'll discuss how a security strategy grounded in principles of zero trust helps build a trusted brand by ensuring every connection into the organization is validated for authenticity and need, without introducing friction to daily operations.

Keynote Panel: Steering Cultural Change
An IT executive's role, goals and objectives have drastically changed over the years. Most leaders supervise teams and units beyond their IT department. Due to these changes in responsibilities, their success is measured in greater business metrics. As a result, these roles have become both more attractive and more demanding.
Takeaways:
- What are the significant changes regarding the role of the IT Executive
- How to keep up with the changing requirements
- How to properly measure an IT executive's success
Panelists:
Brenda Bjerke, Senior Director, Information Risk Management, Target

Trust in Technology: Embracing Digital Convergence Through Open Standards
Embracing game-changing innovations like conversational commerce, machine vision, AI, blockchain, and IoT requires a renewed focus on collaboration, industry standards, and external data sharing. This session will explore the opportunity to enhance trust in the process of scaling technology through the use of global data standards. The barcode has become a symbol of trust around the world over the past 45 years- the same system of standards that enabled this widespread retail collaboration is similarly providing an objective, consensus-based, and open-source expression of information for the next era of technology application. Examples from various industries including grocery, healthcare, and retail will be covered.

Perimeter and Beyond... A Pervasive versus Perimeter based approach to Email
Attackers continue to find new ways to exploit organizations. By design, traditional secure email gateway technologies on their own are not designed to fuse various forms of telemetry to detect and prevent against sophisticated attacks. We will discuss how a pervasive approach to email security can not only provide better visibility from both "human" and "technical" telemetry but also how if done right, it can enrich your broader cybersecurity ecosystem to help more efficiently and quickly respond to new sophisticated attacks. Examples of new "intersections" of value between the Three Zones. Join our session to gain a better understanding:
- How to drive a Pervasive Email Security Strategy
- Decrease cyber risks and costs
- Simplify administrative overhead

Integrative Approaches to Coaching and Innovation
Collaboration is the key to success. Executive leaders know this, yet they don't always know how to create connection and trust with their teams. Powerful change happens in organizations when individuals rise to embrace their potential, stop managing teams, and instead begin leading their teams with collaborative confidence. If you want to collaboratively lead your teams to breakthrough innovations, this session is for you.

AI: Friend or Foe?
Advances in artificial intelligence (AI) are introducing new technologies to a wide array of products across every industry, especially cybersecurity. Facial recognition and natural language processing have become a reality thanks to deep learning algorithms, however, there is a dark side to these advancements. Cybercriminals have managed to weaponize AI to create extremely intricate malware and attack methods. This has forced organizations to use advanced heuristic solutions rather than counting on known vulnerability and attack signatures.
Takeaways:
- Artificial Intelligence products are already being deployed in many industries
- Features like facial recognition and chat bots are common examples
- Cybercriminals can weaponize this technology without proper security measures

Balance Your Protection by Planning Left and Right of Boom
The noise that no IT team wants to hear, and no exec team wants to talk about, is the Boom associated with a successful breach. Most products focus on either prevention (Left of, or before, Boom) or detection (Right of, or after, Boom), but lack the capability to integrate the two. In order to provide measurable and meaningful value, managed detection and response (MDR) has evolved to provide insight that improves protection in both areas, fulfilling the mission of decreasing both the likelihood and the impacts of successful attacks.
Join Jack Danahy, Alert Logic's SVP for Strategy and Chief Evangelist as he discusses MDR, and the security outcomes it delivers both Left, and Right, of Boom.

How Self-Compliant Endpoints Can Automate Security and Simplify Your Toolset
As more people work from home, cyberattacks of all sorts are taking advantage of new attack vectors, while IT budgets and admin staffs are stretched. If you were asked to continuously patch and prove compliance for all of your endpoints across your enterprise, how many tools would you need and how would you handle those endpoints that are off the corporate network? These issues can be handled smoothly with:
- The right tools
- The right processes
- An automated, self-compliant endpoint environment

Driving Digital Maturity in your Organization
With all businesses going digital, the ability to deliver always-on customer experiences is paramount to success. Issues that lead to downtime or outages are inevitable - but while you can't know when something's going to break, having the processes in place to respond and resolve issues swiftly in real time is what sets digitally mature companies apart from their laggard competition. PagerDuty has taken the learnings from working with our customers over the past ten years and conducted research to create a Digital Operations Maturity Model to better understand how organizations can orchestrate shifting from a firefighting, reactive state to becoming more proactive and automated.

Your old sh** doesn't work anymore
When is the last time you took a look at yourself and thought, "my tennis shoes still look good, so they must be functioning fine", or "my car starts every day, so I won't change the oil"?? As Security professionals, we all tend to work in "reactive" mode. We talk about planning and strategy, but in reality, the first thing you probably did today was check email to see if anything was broken (if you didn't already get a text).
Takeaways:
- A discussion on the effectiveness of your "old" Security (People/Processes/Technology).
- How effective we can be as Leaders.
- A look at some practices that we have been told to follow, but never challenged or understood *why*.

The Elephant in the Room, Data Breaches
In 2019, data breaches endured yet again as the largest security threat noted by organizations and IT security professionals alike. If data remains as a high valued commodity, ensuring data privacy and securing personal data will continue to be at the top of the list of an organization's concerns. The increases in privacy legislation, such as GDPR and CCPA, and the understanding of the ramifications stemming from a breach have allowed these concerns to remain heavily in the spotlight. Web application flaws have been identified as the top cause of data breaches. As such, establishing and maintaining web application security has developed into a high priority for all organizations.
Takeaways:
- Data breaches are the biggest security concern
- Data continues to be a high value asset but the need to protect it is even higher
- New laws like GDPR and CCPA enforce consequences for failing to secure data

You Need to Know Who Is Accessing Your Data, But Do You Really?
Knowing who is accessing what data is at the heart of security. Today, users and attackers get to your data through a mesh of web applications, APIs, and microservices. Unfortunately, your database logs only report the querying source as an authorized intermediary application without the originating requestor's information. This blind spot causes glaring gaps during audits, slows incident response, and impede breach detection.
Learn how to apply new ways of continuously linking originating users' information to every database access with cohesive interworking between edge WAF, server RASP, and Data Activity Monitoring tools.

Zero Trust And Data Security: Artificial Intelligence Meets Denise In Accounting
Zero trust data security aspirations are tough to achieve when security policy makers are everyday employees. When they overshare files, users like Denise in Accounting can put business critical data in jeopardy. Zero trust security for unstructured data is essential - and very hard to accomplish.
Spotting risk with rules, regular expressions or end-user classification doesn't work. Those approaches are complex, hard to manage and unreliable. Fortunately, emerging solutions based on artificial intelligence can help.
New deep learning solutions can identify business-critical data and crowd source correct security policies. Effective, actionable security for unstructured data that doesn't burden IT staff - or depend on Denise to make the right decision - is within reach.
Join us to learn:
- How can artificial intelligence and deep learning autonomously discover and categorize the millions of files your end users create and manage every day?
- What is Risk Distance TM analysis, and how does it work to crowd-source security policies?
- Who's using these techniques today and what are their use cases?
