Forescout | The Current Threat Landscape Requires a Unique Approach

: Specialized threats targeting OT environments have been around since at least 2010, with the reports of Stuxnet. Recognizing the criticality of these devices, Threat Actors have continued evolving, continuing to target OT devices, many of which are inherently insecure-by-design. Research, such as Vedere Labs’ OT:ICEFALL research project and Project Basecamp by Digital Bond from 10 years ago showed how significant the scope of vulnerable devices are that are pervasive in critical infrastructure systems. Today’s SOC needs to not only see those devices and the risks they pose while also ensuring accurate detection of the threats uniquely targeting those OT environments they’re deployed in. This session will explore this unique threat landscape and the capabilities required to combat the threats and automatically mitigate the risks specially targeting Operational Technology environments.

Gradient Cyber | The What, Who For, and Why of MXDR
In this talk, we will first explain what Managed Extended Detection and Response (MXDR) is – given the ‘acronym soup’ of detection and response solutions (XDR, MDR, NDR, EDR, CDR, etc). Next, we will delve into why mid-market organizations should integrate MXDR into their security strategies – focusing on the specific profiles of security teams that benefit most from its implementation. The presentation will be capped with two to three customer case studies, demonstrating MXDR’s practical impact in real-world scenarios. Attendees will gain a clear understanding of MXDR’s advantages, its applicability to various organizations, and actionable insights from successful deployments

SynerComm | Financialization of Cybersecurity Risk

Commonly employed cybersecurity risk assessment and reporting is akin to driving by looking strictly at simple gauges, listening to basic GPS guidance, and panicking when the check engine light comes on.  Dashboard information is important, but we also need to look up, see the risks the drivers around us are facing, and make more informed decisions to minimize our exposure to those risks. Join us to learn how you can rapidly use historical industry-specific cybersecurity incident data to help keep your eyes on the road and minimize your organization’s financial loss exposure from cybersecurity risk.

Forcepoint | The Balance Between Data Use and Data Security

In today’s digital landscape, where cyber security is synonymous with data security, safeguarding sensitive information is paramount across all sectors due to the prevalence of cyber threats and the increasing volume of data. To effectively address these challenges, a programmatic approach to data security is essential, encompassing a range of technical, procedural, and human-centric measures. This approach involves implementing a layered defense strategy that includes asking fundamental questions such as “What data do you really have?”, “Who should or shouldn’t have access?”, and “What should they be allowed to do?” Collaboration and information-sharing among organizations are also crucial for enhancing collective resilience against cyber threats. Presented by Jason Rice, Vice President with Forcepoint, this discussion underscores how adopting a programmatic approach to data security enables organizations to mitigate risks, bolster resilience, and maintain trust in an interconnected digital ecosystem where cyber security is fundamentally synonymous with data security.
