When Tinfoil Hats Aren't Enough: Effective Defenses Against Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) > Download Presentation
You probably know about the threat posed by APTs. You also may know that most experts will tell you that there are no cost-effective ways to completely prevent a determined attacker from getting into your systems. So what to do? Since returning to an agrarian society is likely not a viable option, this presentation will cover common APT techniques and ways to detect those techniques in action and rapidly react. We'll talk about how to leverage the Identity-powered enterprise to improve the accuracy and effectiveness of prevention, detection, and response.

Leadership, Collaboration and Sustainability > Download Presentation
Security leaders are often concerned about being the next big target or becoming susceptible to new threats, but building a stronger, more effective security program goes beyond technological innovation. Leadership style and perception, as well as meaningful collaboration with industry partners can help build long-term sustainability for your security program. Many argue these qualities are essential to maintaining an understanding of our growing environment and preparing the next generation of security professionals for what is to come. This presentation will examine leadership perception and discuss the higher education segment as a worthwhile collaborative partnership for long term sustainability.

Best Practices for Mitigating Threats via Privilege and Access Management
Scott Barronton
VP Security Compliance
Equifax
In the wake of Edward Snowden’s admission that he leaked government secrets, all eyes are on the systems administrator and their privileged accounts and credentials. While the risk of insider threat should never be dismissed, the problem is that employees with privileged access have become prime targets for cybercriminals. Even low-level vulnerabilities may lead to the compromise of privileged credentials, which can provide access to proprietary data or even create another account — essentially opening a back door. Traditional technologies, such as antivirus, firewalls, and IDS/IPS, cannot contend with the innovative attacks plaguing networks today. The publicity resulting from the Snowden fallout points to a need to protect the systems administrators, their credentials, and the privileged accounts they manage. Context-aware security intelligence combined with privilege and access management empower security teams to make better-informed decisions as they mitigate the risk of escalating security threats - from desktop to the cloud.
Secrets to Achieving End-to-End Email Security
Brian PhillipsSecurity Director
Macy's
Securing your infrastructure is essential in protecting your customers, but malicious attacks can affect users without even entering your network. The Anti-Phishing Working Group reported 72,758 phishing attacks targeting more than 700 institutions worldwide during the first half of 2013 alone. As Verizon's Data Breach Report shows, 95% of all data breaches begin with a phishing email — evidence that comprehensive ecosystem visibility, email intelligence, and real-time alerting and reporting are imperative to thwarting these attacks. Join our conversation to take a deep dive into advanced email security methodology and learn best practices to achieving end-to-end email security in order to protect your customers and enable business.
Defending Against Advanced Threats in an Ever-evolving Threat Landscape

ISE® Southeast & North America Judge
It’s the move of a smart hacker; use one vulnerable point of entry on an interconnected system, then go after your real target. Now it seems one unfortunate HVAC maintenance man was used as the hacker’s pawn in the Target data breach scam. Fazio Mechanical Services, a provider of refrigeration and HVAC systems, was given access to a Target database so the company could remotely login for electronic billing, contract submission and project management. After stealing one Fazio worker’s credentials, the hackers used this digital pathway to insert the destructive malware.
Is BYOS the real problem in mobility?
Kyle Duke
Information Security Officer
HealthSpring
ISE® Southeast People's Choice Award Winner 2010
Many organizations are concerned about BYOD triggering security, privacy and intellectual property problems. But perhaps the bigger issue is Bring-Your-Own-Software (BYOS). For organizations, BYOS offers an attractive alternative for employees to streamline work activities, collaborate with colleagues, and be more productive. With free trials, inexpensive subscriptions, and easy-to-cancel policies, the barrier to adoption is low. However, organizations struggle to balance these benefits with the downside as this ad-hoc adoption of cloud services could pose greater risk than an external threat. Could BYOS be the biggest challenge in mobility?

Investment in People is the Key to a Security Organization Built for Change
According to Forrester Research, 51 % of organizations say it’s a challenge or major challenge to hire and keep security staff with the right skills. This becomes especially challenging in a constantly changing organization managing acquisitions, changing business objectives, and rapid growth. While investing in security technology is important to stay ahead of threats, failure to invest properly in your people can introduce systemic and cultural risk that can be more challenging to manage than technical threats. This presentation will discuss the keys to not only getting the best people, but keeping them. Mr. Lenoe will share Adobe’s experiences in managing this very challenging problem along with what we have learned as we have built up our security organization to adapt to our cloud-focused future.
