Vectra | How to stop Ransomware BEFORE it starts. | Kevin Kennedy VP of Product Management
Modern ransomware is not like ransomware of the past. In fact, it’s not even ransomware until it’s too late to prevent significant business impact. The good news is that seeing ransomware before it starts IS both possible and your best line of defense.  Please join me as I share how ransomware has changed, how to see it before it starts, and what I predict ransomware will exploit next.

Keynote | IoT Security and Privacy at Home: Keeping the Digital Spies Out | Rebecca Herold, The Privacy Professor, Founder and CEO of The Privacy Professor Consultancy

When it comes to security and privacy in areas where IoT devices are used, it is important to remember that anything connected to the internet needs to be secured using a variety of security methods. Certainly a strong password, but also so much more. Basic effective layers of security throughout the IoT product ecosystem. Safety at home, and family privacy and security, matter very much, as they always have. And now, with a large portion of the world working from home, and attending school from home, and having numerous online smart devices use for fun and efficiency, we’ve brought the digital school and work networks into employee homes. Often times they become mingled, which introduces even more security and privacy risks. People are often surprised when they learn how much data just a mobile phone can suck up. So, what type of data collections, and other actions, do IoT devices have the abilities to do, in ways that negatively impact security and privacy? For example, you may love your Alexa, but do you realize the ways in which your digital friend may be violating your privacy and defeating your security controls? What about all those other IoT devices that have become ubiquitous within our homes, offices, and public places we visit? How should we think about sentient listening? What are some parental controls to think about for this scenario? This session will provide an overview of the security and privacy issues, and provide attendees with at least ten actions to take to better protect their privacy, and to strengthen the security of their digital spaces where they live and work. Rebecca will be sharing her research findings, insights, and tips for how you can secure your home. She will also share her Privacy & Security Brainiacs latest infographic, PSB Smart Home IoT, and provide information you can provide to your loved ones “IoT for grandparents- and everybody else!” and the accompanying free flipbooks series from her Privacy & Security Brainiacs business:

  • Volume 4 – Securing Smart Homes
  • Volume 5 – Securing IoT on the Go
  • Volume 6 – Securing IoT in Schools, Businesses & Other Organizations

A supplementary paperback book with expanded versions of the flipbooks (additional details, more tips, checklists, resources, a glossary, and more) will be available on Amazon, worldwide, in November, 2021, entitled, “Cybersecurity for Grandparents (And Everyone Else!): Q4 2021 Edition IoT Security.”

Check Point | Never Trust. Always Verify | Eddie Doyle Cyber Security Evangelist

Humans are inherently both trusting & distrusting, without even knowing it!

We pick up on innumerable subtle micro expressions & nuances of our environment, instantly spotting what’s out of place. Without a second thought, our computer brains process & alert us to “things out of place” & focus our attention, silencing distractions so we can verify trust.

In this session, Eddie Doyle will demonstrate that when we design systems after our neuro-biology, we can focus our networks to eliminate threats in much the same manner as our natural born instincts.

IP Pathways | Keep Your Company Out Of The Headlines With The Tools In The Security Toolkit | Dwight Barthelman Solutions Architect

In an increasingly connected world, securing your infrastructure from bad actors is paramount to continuing business operations. In this session, we will discuss the Security Toolkit and what it means for the prevention of, and recovery from, ransomware attacks. With new exploits being found every day, IT departments of all sizes need to plan for the next attack. The tools in the Security Toolkit will provide the best possible defense against these attacks, as well as ensure timely recovery when an exploit is finally successful.

Proofpoint | Deploying DLP for All the Wrong Reasons | Brian Reed Information Protection Evangelist

Data Loss Prevention is a misnamed and misapplied technology – not all data is in scope, you will never cover every loss scenario, and while protecting data sounds like a great idea in theory, in practice data protection isn’t always the optimal goal. Many organizations are required to deploy DLP technology to comply with a regulatory compliance requirement or to protect specific intellectual property. This session will cover a brief history of DLP, how you should go about taking a people-centric approach to designing your information protection program, and using metrics for success that matter, as well as how to communicate your program to a non-technical audience

Reciprocity | Achieving New Levels of Efficiency, Automation, & Visibility in Third-Party Risk Management | Scott McCormick CISO | Rob Ellis Senior Vice President | Jenny Victor Vice President of Marketing
Whether a start-up or an enterprise, you are probably working with multiple vendors, using their software and reliant on their systems. Yet while these external vendors provide invaluable services, they also introduce significant risk to your company’s information security.How do you know if your vendors are meeting required contractual, security and privacy obligations?If you don’t have processes in place to assess the risks these third parties pose, then your answer is most likely you don’t. And this is critical: You need to know the risks of working with third parties and that you can trust them — because if they go down, your business may, too.Assessing risk, however, can be incredibly complex. Traditional risk management approaches that rely on manual processes, spreadsheets and even survey methods don’t scale well and are not automated enough. And they certainly can’t support a third-party vendor network once it reaches a certain size: spreadsheets and email folders become overwhelming, ad hoc processes and reporting cycles create confusion, and manual reviews lead to missed issues and trends. In fact, the more successful an organization is – and the more third-party vendors they work with – the more automation and continuous monitoring are required.

Darktrace | Ransomware in Focus, presented by Brianna Leddy, Director of Analysis | Brianna Leddy Director of Analysis

In the immediate aftermath of a ransomware attack, executives too often face a difficult dilemma: either pay a ransom, or shut down critical systems and services. In today’s increasingly complex digital ecosystems, the collateral damage that ensues from ransomware attacks can be broad-ranging and destructive, with organizations taking days, weeks, or even months to recover.

But what if there was another way out – a way to surgically contain ransomware in its earliest stages, without disrupting normal business operations?

Join this presentation to learn how Self-Learning AI is helping thousands of organizations fight back against ransomware. We’ll discuss:

  • The impact of ‘double-extortion’ ransomware and ‘ransomware-as-a-service’
  • Real-world examples of ransomware detected by Self-Learning AI
  • How Self-Learning AI responds proportionately to ransomware, thanks to its deep understanding of an organization’s pattern of life.
