Agenda

Today, 94% of cyber-threats still originate in the inbox. ‘Impersonation attacks’ are on the rise, as artificial intelligence is increasingly being used to automatically generate spear-phishing emails, or ‘digital fakes’, that expertly mimic the writing style of trusted contacts and colleagues. Humans can no longer distinguish real from fake on their own – businesses are increasingly turning to AI to distinguish friend from foe and fight back with autonomous response. In an era when thousands of documents can be encrypted in minutes, ‘immune system’ technology takes action in seconds – stopping cyber-threats before damage is done. Find out how in this session

Privilege Access Management, what is it, how do you approach it and how do you get it right? All of this starts with understanding what your attack surface looks likes, join Rob from Thycotic as he runs through everything you need to know on doing PAM right, and we don’t stop there! With the collective move to the cloud and the scary reality that 77% of cloud breaches involve compromised credentials, we will run through the crucial steps of PAM in the cloud and how to do it right!

• Friction: The new F word | In Friction: the new F word, we will share how businesses can establish the optimal balance between friction and customer experience in today’s digital environment.
• Deepfakes | What do new fraud technologies like deepfakes mean for the growing platform economy?
• Who owns our digital identity? | Cybercriminals are capitalising on the recently-deceased and other vulnerable populations to conduct fraud.

Any and every one is a target for nation-state grade cyber attacks, especially during a global crisis. During times of crisis there is a shift in focus which allows cyber-attacks to grow and intensify, and a large portion of them are nation-state grade. The private sector, all verticals and industries, have always been a target for these, and the pandemic has only worsened it.

These highly advanced mechanisms of cyber assault are continuously evolving and readily available for sale on the darknet, enabling hackers and new players looking for alternative income due to COVID19 to become extremely powerful attackers. The question arises – How can organizations protect themselves in today’s crisis cyber reality? And what happens the day after? Fortunately, there are answers and solutions.

In his presentation, Ran Shahor, IDF Brigadier General (Ret.) will discuss the challenges organizations face during a time of crisis, the solutions, the holistic approach and the secret sauce needed in order to be protected and stay ahead of the curve.

Orange Cyberdefense has published a comprehensive paper sharing our take in respect to cybersecurity during COVID-19 global crisis.

In the paper we examine how cyber-threat actors are trying to capitalize on the global health crisis by creating malware or launching attacks with a COVID-19 theme.

However, this kind of exploitative behavior by the cybercrime ecosystem is only one part of a bigger cybersecurity picture.

In this mood of fear, uncertainty and doubt, there is an appropriately elevated level of threat awareness, but also an exaggerated level of anxiety.

Annie Machon will discuss what she calls the Dark Triad of state, corporate, and criminal hacker threats facing those who want to protect data and protect privacy.

Most people are aware of the criminal element; increasing numbers are concerned about the corporate harvesting of data; far fewer realise the overlap between these and state level actors such as spy agencies.

Now, post-pandemic and with the realignment of the geopolitical axis between East and West, all these aspects of cyber-security are going to become much more meshed and much more prominent. Businesses need to be aware, and be seen to be aware, of these threats both for ethical reasons and reputational gains.
