Even for online transactions, customer emotions matter and can be indicative of important contextual factors on both sides of any transaction. For instance, mouse-doodling, pauses, typing speed, hesitations, phone-motion and more could indicate stress, inquisitiveness, distraction, aggravation and even propensity for risk. There’s a treasure trove of data in user online behavior which can be analyzed to make one’s digital journey safer and easier. While many financial institutions are now leveraging new technology to help determine fraudulent intent and coercive account activity in real-time, often these same indicators can be used to transparently verify identity and genuine intent. Join our conversation as we discuss how financial institutions can harness behavioral insights to reduce risk, lessen friction, exceed customer expectations, build trust and foster ongoing customer relationships.

Each year, organizations spend billions on their security operations centers, or SOCs, and sustain data breaches despite the investments they’ve made. One study found that during the first three quarters of 2020, the total number of reported data breaches for the year was already approaching 3,000 and 36 billion records had been exposed. These numbers show the failure of SOCs to keep up with the threats that organizations are facing—and this will remain so as long as SOCs continue to be built on the same outdated model. A fresh approach that focuses on outcomes and use cases is needed to make SOCs more cyber resilient. Join our conversation which will offer thoughts on why SOCs so often fail and how we can make them more cyber resilient and more responsive to the threats that organizations face today, especially by using an approach that focuses on outcomes and use cases.

Security is imperative in today’s high-risk climate, but now there is a new challenge: the threat of the remote worker. Dispersed work environments aren’t going anywhere, and the influx of BYOD means data is traveling back and forth on many networks and devices. Coupled with the complexity of our security environments and the difficulties organizations have with lengthy Zero Trust implementations, these problems need to be urgently solved. What if you could serve a virtual desktop in a browser and no longer had to worry about the endpoint? What if you could close VPN access and no longer have to worry about network intruders? What if you could deliver a great user experience to your users even for demanding applications (video conferencing, Google’s 3D video chat, etc.) in the virtual desktop? Join our conversation where we will discuss how to fast-track supporting the organization’s remote workers and hybrid work plan, avoid complexity when managing secure user access, and deliver on your Zero Trust initiatives.

Biography
Even with decades of effort, security teams cannot effectively protect their organization against ransomware, account takeover and data loss. Reactive technologies like UEBA and SIEMs have failed to appropriately gain context and visibility into these risks to protect and reduce the impact of incidents, friction to the business and both financial and data loss. By understanding unintentional but risky past decisions of users along with access levels and attack frequency, CISOs can paint a picture of where they are most vulnerable to attack and predict where the next incident will come from. This insight unlocks the capability for security teams to enable proactive security controls and tailor security precisely to each individual, minimizing risk without adding unnecessary business friction. Join our conversation as we discuss new strategies to contend with ransomware, data loss and account takeover in support of a Workforce Zero Trust model.

Cybersecurity threats come in various forms, including phishing, account compromises, and malicious email attachments. Often these threats result in ransomware attacks, which are causing great concern for most organizations due to the current cyber threat environment. Headlines are filled with stories about entire companies that have been brought to a halt and forced to pay large ransoms. To stay ahead of attacks, many companies focus their cybersecurity efforts on IT, forgetting the importance of the resiliency of their OT environment. That’s a critical mistake. After all, if your IT environment were suddenly compromised by ransomware, could you sever the connections to your OT environments, and if so, could your OT environments still operate without those connections? If you are not successful and OT is impacted by ransomware, could you recover? Any comprehensive cybersecurity strategy involves gaining visibility into OT environments to understand exactly what assets exist and their potential vulnerabilities—a protection strategy that includes the converged IT/OT infrastructure—and the people, processes, and technology to detect, respond, and recover from attacks. Join our conversation as we discuss approaches organizations are taking to reduce ransomware risks to your OT environment such as access control via proper network segmentation, endpoint protection, and disaster recovery with backup processes.

Supply chain attacks and ransomware affecting critical infrastructure have proliferated in news reports lately. While there is no silver bullet to stop all risks, many protections against them are those we already have in place, centered around cybersecurity hygiene and fundamentals. However, the supply chain is truly a chain, meaning you have to ensure not only your enterprise’s security but also your supplier’s and everyone else’s downstream in the chain. Many organizations have a “Trust but Verify” security model that dwindles to just “Trust” the farther down the chain they go. While we can audit third-party suppliers, it becomes unfeasible to do so with fourth and fifth parties. However, we are seeing more attackers pivot to extort not only the primary victim of a third-party data breach but also the victim’s customers and partners. Join our conversation as we discuss how to conduct third-party risk management without going down an endless rabbit hole as well as how to investigate attacks effectively, so that the cybersecurity community can learn from your findings.

As security leaders continue adding more technology to keep pace with the increasing frequency and complexity of cyberattacks, a new paradigm is emerging. With a vast number of signals stemming from sources across the organization, security operations center staff are overwhelmed. Historically, spotting one needle in a haystack and connecting it to another needle in a different haystack—or to the latest threat intel brief—has been next to impossible. Too many tools, with little if any integration, have led to siloed security operations where priority alerts are missed, false positives are great in number, and complexity is the norm. Now, leading organizations are integrating multiple technology applications in new ways, giving rise to XDR. Join our conversation as we discuss how extended detection and response (XDR) is a reaction to the unworkable complexity of today’s enterprise security operations.

Research has clearly shown that a person can have the best training in the world; a sharp, analytical mind; and an endless supply of good ideas, but these alone will not make them a great leader. While these factors are all important, to be an effective leader, one must also possess a high degree of Emotional Intelligence (EI). This is especially true for information and cybersecurity professionals. Harnessing Emotional Intelligence ensures effective communication between InfoSec executives and their security teams as well as communication between security executives, stakeholders, teammates, lines of business leaders, customers and board members. Strong working relationships and interpersonal skills are the keys to success in every area of human activity, especially for a cybersecurity professional looking to enhance their leadership skills and bring out the best in their teams. However, the past two years have also proven that leaders will need to take their Emotional Intelligence to the next level. We now exist in a post-pandemic world with hybrid work environments, which requires us to communicate in different ways and detect new social cues from our business peers, partners and employees through both in-person and digital means. Join Marci McCarthy as she discusses how you can best utilize Emotional Intelligence to adapt to any situation, improve flexibility and intuition in the workplace and become a better leader who builds successful teams—whether you and your team are working in an office or from home.

Given the spate of software supply chain attacks, organizations need to do more to secure their code repository and control what code commits make it into their production branch. The notorious SolarWinds attack has helped highlight some of the broader and pervasive software supply chain vulnerabilities that impact most organizations today. Complex, shared code bases combined with organization productivity targets have gradually eroded trust and trustworthiness of our software development lifecycle. It’s crucial to verify the identity of the software developer committing code changes and prevent unauthorized users from injecting malicious code. To do so proactively or automatically, a Zero Trust philosophy can be applied to code signing to ensure code has not been compromised, among other techniques. Join our conversation where we will learn how code provenance and identity have become fundamental requirements; explore ways to track and record code changes; and implement code signing at the organizational level, without causing friction for developers.

Millions of people have been working from home for the past year to support social distancing guidelines during the pandemic. In industrial control system environments (ICS), companies restricted physical access to only those employees that were essential in running operations, and their safety was of paramount concern. Many of us experienced shortages at grocery stores when COVID outbreaks impacted factory employees, resulting in plant shutdowns. As a result, not only did third-party vendors find themselves needing to connect remotely to plant floors, but so did employees needing to work on those industrial control systems. While many countries have now loosened their restrictions, there are indications that working remotely could be long-term or even permanent for some. Secure remote access to ICS environments has yielded improved productivity and quicker response times. That raises some important questions. Is your Industrial Control System network adequately protected against security threats related to remote access? How can you best enable field employees and third-party vendors to connect remotely to your plant floor? Access management was identified as one of the top threats to manufacturer safety in 2020. This threat remains serious as more breaches are happening via remote access than ever before. Ease of accessibility to your network for your employees and vendors is necessary, but it also opens you up to more risk. Join our conversation to learn about the permanent secure remote access options CISOs and technology leaders have deployed over the past year to ensure access to their network is protected and safe—not only for today, but for the long-term.

We also have to concern ourselves with securing access to SaaS applications and other cloud-based infrastructure (e.g., PaaS, IaaS). With this perfect storm—the increased use of cloud computing and the new hybrid work environment—how can security teams ensure only authorized individuals and trusted devices are accessing critical cloud resources and data? What are the key elements of device trust? How do different alternatives like VPN and MDM stack up? Are there new solutions that can better address modern enterprise requirements? Lastly, how does device trust relate to the broader Zero Trust approach? Join our conversation as we discuss how endpoint management plays a critical role in your Zero Trust strategy as well as ways to gain insight into the security posture of endpoints of all devices—without infringing upon privacy or user experience.

As organizations shift to hybrid work environments, the debate rages between reducing data loss risk exposure and enabling employees to work anywhere productively. Rigid Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policies may not easily accommodate legitimate exceptions, and legacy DLP solutions often generate a large volume of alerts for security teams to contend with. If we acknowledge that humans are the new perimeter, then we can also enable a shift in our approach concerning data protection. We can embrace Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) to both accelerate how businesses transform and enforce the same policies consistently from the endpoint, through the network, and into both the web and cloud. Join our conversation where we will discuss the business case for simplifying data protection with a data-first SASE architecture.

When it comes to the user experience, 92% of customers expect a fast, frictionless interaction that is trustworthy and secure. Unfortunately, most of today’s tools used to secure digital experiences have not managed to fully stop the risks of online fraud. Legacy methods, like multifactor authentication (MFA) and device fingerprinting, still fall short of preventing account take-over (ATO), new account fraud (NAF), synthetic and mule accounts, phishing and credential stuffing attacks. Security teams attempting to employ new controls to lockdown the risks have managed to add more disruption to the user experience. As the digital world evolves, how can you verify digital identity in a way that more successfully prevents fraud both at lower costs and without driving consumers away? Join our conversation where we will explore the capabilities of behavioral biometrics and the role this method plays in reducing fraud and digital risk while keeping consumers happy.

Identities are the Achilles heel of Cloud Infrastructure security. They are the biggest risk that you are not yet addressing. According to Gartner, 75% of security failures in AWS, Azure and GCP are due to mismanagement of access entitlements and privileges. Why? Because there are thousands of human and service identities in a typical cloud environment, and each one is affected by a complex web of permissions and privileges that determine who can access what. Access privileges are the largest attack surface and the hardest one to assess and mitigate. Many organizations don’t fully comprehend the risk or the complexity when they migrate to the cloud. Join our conversation as we explore unique challenges of managing identities and access in the cloud—for both people and services—as well as how to cope with those challenges using tools provided by cloud providers and new emerging technologies.

At the start of 2020, women in the cybersecurity workforce remained underrepresented, but the numbers were trending in the right direction. However, the COVID-19 crisis has negatively impacted women—especially women of color—and presented greater challenges including higher chances of unemployment, burnout and more barriers to advancement. Cybersecurity and other industries stand at risk of losing women in leadership roles since many are being forced to consider downshifting their careers or leaving the workforce. Companies have opportunities to mitigate this risk by creating more flexible, empathetic remote work environments—a worthwhile investment since losing women leaders will cost them. McKinsey & Company’s 2020 Women in the Workplace research study shows that company profits and share performance can be close to 50 percent higher when women are well represented at the top. Women are also more likely than men to consistently take a public stand for gender and racial equity at work as well as mentor and sponsor other women. In short, women have enormous value in the workplace, and it’s crucial for current InfoSec professionals to impress that point on women who are considering entering or leaving the industry. Join our conversation as we discuss how women can be empowered amongst these workplace challenges in cybersecurity, including sharing the professional paths open to them, mentorship opportunities, advice for confident salary negotiation and much more.

CISOs want to address and mitigate the most significant risk with the greatest impact to the business. They want to know which controls address this risk and advise on appropriate investments to reduce overall risk. The challenge is a lack of visibility into security control effectiveness and an inability to measure how security controls work together. In fact, a Gartner Research study shows that 73% of standard audit questions relate to the existence of controls, but not their performance. Additionally, the study reports that 95% of breaches come from known attacks—not zero days. There are ways to assess and benchmark your risk posture, identify the gaps and measure progress.

Remote work has caused considerable changes in cloud security, including an explosion of collaborative services as well as a spike in external threats that target unprotected data. The rush to join the cloud revolution has enabled greater communication and sharing between users. Because of how quickly apps like Microsoft Teams and Office 365 have grown, more cloud security controls are needed, including Data Loss Prevention (DLP), device and guest access, malware defenses and campaign awareness, user behavior analytics for insider threats, Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM), container security, incident response management and more. Obtaining visibility and control over data and threats in these areas across a multi-cloud environment is of paramount importance, which is where Cloud Access Security Brokers (CASBs) can come into play. CASBs can help security and risk management leaders discover all their cloud services and assess cloud risk while protecting sensitive information and detecting threats. Join our conversation as we discuss the changes our cloud security measures are undergoing along with the essential role CASBs can serve within your cloud security strategies.

Many companies are full speed ahead on their digital transformation initiatives even at the expense of cybersecurity measures designed to protect their infrastructure against security risks. The rapid adoption of cloud services, IoT, application containers and other technologies is helping drive organizations forward. However, it also means that security teams must work harder to maintain visibility over these new threat landscapes. To do so, they need to be able to continuously see and catalog every asset in their environment and determine accurately what the security status is of their devices. For that, an advanced Vulnerability Management, Detection and Response (VMDR) solution with built-in orchestration is required to maintain real-time digital security. Join our conversation as we discuss the cyber risks security teams face and why more effective digital security via VMDR matters in this crucial age of digital transformation.

Our increasingly remote workforce needs access to applications and resources across various geographic regions, networks and devices. To keep employees working effectively, enterprises had to quickly implement new solutions, ease restrictions and policies and remove barriers to entry, leaving security teams the responsibility of protecting the enterprise against attacks that would take advantage of these changes. To do so, security teams need to collect meaningful threat intelligence, which is difficult to manage and even harder to implement. Even SOCs, which are better equipped for threat detection and response, are generally overwhelmed, its resources stretched and its experts expensive to find, train and retain. Fortunately, SOCs and threat hunting teams no longer have to perform threat intelligence piecemeal across multiple solutions whenever time allows. They now have the option to utilize a single pane of glass for intelligence, saving on both time and cost. Join our conversation as we discuss how security teams can harness a single platform to automate and operationalize threat intelligence to speed up threat detection and enable proactive defensive measures.

Your supply chain partners represent a significant cyber risk as demonstrated recently by the FireEye and SolarWinds breaches. More attackers are exploiting an organization's suppliers, partners and vendors to launch phishing campaigns—the top source of breaches. These new tactics bypass cloud email defenses, legacy email gateways and email authentication standards. Mitigating breaches from a compromised supply chain requires a new approach to securing your third-party cloud and digital communications. Join our conversation to discuss common supply chain-based attack methods including partner spoofing, Business Email Compromise, new domain campaigns, and malicious URLs; real examples of supply chain phishing attacks; and the advanced, cloud-native email security techniques that proactively block these attacks in progress.

Though security teams work tirelessly to locate and mitigate them, threat actors continue to bypass defenses and exploit these vulnerabilities to damage enterprises. Having effective vulnerability response measures in place is crucial to lessen the impact a breach will have to business reputation and data security. However, many of our vulnerability response plans simply do not move fast enough, with many organizations knowing they are vulnerable but being unable to employ patches due to overreliance on manual processes, siloed information and a lack of visibility. As cybercriminals continue developing advanced attack methods with machine learning and artificial intelligence, we must do all we can to level the playing field.

We are who we are today because of the experiences we endured, enjoyed and suffered through in our past. Likewise, Cybersecurity evolves based on past events. In order to grow, we have to briefly look at our past to examine the lessons we learned and the failures we encountered. Through this reflection, we can recognize how our industry has changed and identify some of its foundational causes—be it the evolving threat landscape; public and regulatory mandates; computing and infrastructure change; or other events of the day. We must also take a look into the future and predict where we will have technology gaps, talent shortfalls and application limitations in order to prepare and become more resilient within our organizations. By getting out in front of this inevitable changing landscape, CISOs will be better equipped to continuously deal with more complex vulnerabilities; and the CISO will be viewed as a partner to the business while still advocating for a secure operating environment. Join our discussion regarding the evolving role of the CISO as we ask ourselves: will we continue to tire ourselves out by swimming against the tides of change, or will we harness that energy and ride the waves forward?

As entire workforces remain in remote working conditions for the foreseeable future, the danger of insider threats is as unmistakable as ever. It is critical for businesses to recognize that threats from legitimate users can be more elusive and harder to detect or prevent than traditional external threats. That is because insiders have legitimate credentials and access, so they do not set off any alarms meant to keep external threat actors from accessing systems and privileged data. Though not always motivated by malicious intent, distracted employees are a concern to business viability and the potential damage they can cause. A combination of unsecured networks and personal devices; weak passwords; insufficient authentication methods; and employees misusing, circumventing, or exploiting corporate networks all cultivate fertile ground for the insider threat—whether unintentional or intentional. As a result, insider threat management is changing—again. Firstly, the idea of context has changed the categories of insider threat, and secondly, insider threat programs are now maturing and evolving into a more justifiable and friendly trusted insider program. Join our conversation as we discuss the evolving landscape of insider threats; the impact on insider risk; and practical strategies for an insider risk management program, such as investing in training, security analytics and automation tools, AI/ML-based security information, and event management (SIEM) systems.

Supply Chain Risk Management (SCRM) is a shared responsibility between vendors and organizations, as demonstrated recently by the SUNBURST supply chain campaign. Organizations cannot shift risk management fully to vendors. Rather, they must also retain some ownership over ensuring SCRM security as well as be prepared to react internally whenever an incident affects supply chain integrity and related compromise. Whether organizations are dealing with the aftershocks of the SUNBURST breach directly or learning from it to prepare for similar attacks, like those involving ransomware, we will likely see increased calls to “Verify, then Trust” along with other newer security methods. Join our conversation as we discuss SRCM, how to react and recover from supply chain and firmware compromise, and further methods to ensure our firmware is not hiding additional vulnerabilities or threats out of sight from the rest of our security stack.

The past year has brought into stark relief the need for organizations to have strong, cloud-based security and compliance policies. As companies engage in swift digital transformation, cybersecurity now plays a much larger role and requires us to change how we have operated in the past. Stitched-together security stacks that collect data in fragments, cannot scale, and do not interoperate are no longer viable options. Instead, security teams need an end-to-end cloud platform that gives them visibility across all their IT assets no matter where they are along with automated threat prioritization, patching and response capabilities. Given the severity of today’s threats, a full cloud platform will also need to do these things continuously, even across third-party cloud platforms, so your team can always assess the organization’s global IT, security, and compliance posture. Join our conversation as we discuss the challenges our security platforms face as well as best practices for building a next-generation cloud platform that collects and analyzes telemetry data in real time for continuous threat response.

Interest in the cybersecurity industry is growing for women and minorities, but entering the field and making the professional connections they need for a successful career is still a daunting prospect for many. The lack of representation in cybersecurity can make it seem like there are no resources or mentorship opportunities out there for women and minorities. Therefore, it’s important for current professionals to dispel this belief by sharing their knowledge and exchanging resources with newcomers to the field, such as TechBridge’s Technology Career Program, LinkedIn as a professional network builder and many others. Women and minorities need to be aware that not only can they open the door to a successful cybersecurity career but also that they will be welcomed and empowered once they cross the threshold. As a result, the International Consortium of Minority Cybersecurity Professionals (ICMCP) has partnered with CISA and NCSA to deliver this much-needed message during CISA’s invitation-only March STOP. THINK. CONNECT™ (STC) Campaign Partner Call. Join our conversation as we discuss the tools, programs and resources that women and minorities can harness to participate as prepared, innovative cybersecurity professionals as well as how they can take charge of their own career path.

Even though enterprises have layered security controls, cyber attackers are getting around them by infiltrating open source and embedded software libraries. As a result, security teams are increasingly unable to discern beneficial application behavior and unwarranted, new behavior. Many of our security controls and tools are legacy based, only able to block known, malicious behavior which leaves emerging attacks going undetected for months, as was the case with the Sunburst attack. By targeting the software supply chain, cyber attackers can compromise not just the application but also the entire stack, including any owner or end user that interacts with it. Join our conversation as we discuss the nature of software supply chain attacks as well as how to guard applications against zero-day attacks and block unexpected activity via Runtime Application Self-Protection (RASP).

As we look forward to what 2021 has in store, we are all attempting to predict how the year will change, particularly from a sales and marketing perspective. So many techniques have shifted to a digital outreach mindset, but security professionals and vendors alike are experiencing online fatigue due to remote working and various meetings held over video calls. Keeping digital engagement and sales meetings interesting and worthwhile will be challenging but necessary if solution providers want to stand out from the crowd and if security professionals wish to find crucial tools and technology. On the other hand, in-person events and meetings will eventually make a return. Predicting when that will happen and being able to shift gears to accommodate both in-person and online sales and marketing will spell the difference between success and being caught unprepared. Security professionals have their own ideas of when this shift will happen, which marketing techniques work, how digital events can stay relevant and what changes will occur within their office culture moving forward. Join our conversation as we hear valuable insights and perspectives from leading cybersecurity executives about what awaits in 2021, allowing sales and marketing teams to maximize their current digital engagement and plan effective future, in-person outreach.

Supply Chain Risk Management (SCRM) is a shared responsibility between vendors and organizations, as demonstrated recently by the SUNBURST supply chain campaign. Organizations cannot shift risk management fully to vendors. Rather, they must also retain some ownership over ensuring SCRM security as well as be prepared to react internally whenever an incident affects supply chain integrity and related compromise. Whether organizations are dealing with the aftershocks of the SUNBURST breach directly or learning from it to prepare for similar attacks, like those involving ransomware, we will likely see increased calls to “Verify, then Trust” along with other newer security methods. Join our conversation as we discuss SRCM, how to react and recover from supply chain and firmware compromise, and further methods to ensure our firmware is not hiding additional vulnerabilities or threats out of sight from the rest of our security stack.

In the era of the unbound enterprise, there is a mandate for a different perspective in approaching cybersecurity. Traditional approaches have put cybersecurity organizations in reaction mode for threats and breeches. The focus needs to shift to left of breach (or proactive mode), so cyber risks can be addressed before they cause major issues. With enterprises accelerating their migration to the cloud, employees and IT infrastructure are becoming more dispersed. The two constants that remain under the visibility and control of cybersecurity organizations are users and data. Cybersecurity needs to place both of those at the center of their security posture and pursue a human-centric approach that focuses on understanding the behaviors of each entity on the network. Join our conversation where we will discuss how a human-centric approach will allow organizations to better quantify behavior-associated risk and deploy automated countermeasures to protect the new edge that is everywhere and everyone.

Our increasingly remote workforce needs access to applications and resources across various geographic regions, networks and devices. To keep employees working effectively, enterprises had to quickly implement new solutions, ease restrictions and policies and remove barriers to entry, leaving security teams the responsibility of protecting the enterprise against attacks that would take advantage of these changes. To do so, security teams need to collect meaningful threat intelligence, which is difficult to manage and even harder to implement. Even SOCs, which are better equipped for threat detection and response, are generally overwhelmed, its resources stretched and its experts expensive to find, train and retain. Fortunately, SOCs and threat hunting teams no longer have to perform threat intelligence piecemeal across multiple solutions whenever time allows. They now have the option to utilize a single pane of glass for intelligence, saving on both time and cost. Join our conversation as we discuss how security teams can harness a single platform to automate and operationalize threat intelligence to speed up threat detection and enable proactive defensive measures.

The past year has proven that Supply Chain Risk Management (SCRM) must become a top priority for many organizations. Our technology supply chain faces specific challenges involving risk, of which many affect devices long before they are delivered and unboxed by the eventual owner. For instance, code used in software, libraries and components may be reused in the supply chain even if the code contains vulnerabilities, which can affect laptops, printers, medical devices, servers, critical infrastructure and more. Many manufacturers’ components also include vulnerable or compromised code from a variety of third-party upstream vendors, meaning organizations may inherit these risks and firmware security issues—oftentimes unknowingly. Likewise, threats can infiltrate the supply chain in the form of updates, which can be slow to perform and even slower to fix if a vulnerability or threat is detected since doing so requires coordination between multiple parties. Addressing supply chain risk is a crucial undertaking that must be performed not only by individual enterprises but also at the industry level if we are to mitigate the damage a compromised supply chain can cause. Join our conversation as we discuss how to regain visibility into risks and reclaim control over your supply chain, so security teams can act confidently in verifying device integrity throughout the device lifecycle.
