Managing Risk In An Ever Moving As-A-Service Environment

In the infrastructure and platform-as-a-service worlds, application developers are the new infrastructure superstars. With concepts ranging from containers to infrastructure as code, we are experiencing a paradigm shift in how tightly coupled application code and the related infrastructure are. Often security is underrepresented in this formula and for good reason; our challenge is first to understand the new security conventions and controls, but then to understand how to achieve visibility and governance of these controls within application infrastructure that never sleeps. It's a tall order, but tools, processes, and perspectives are maturing and in this session, I will share lessons learned from firsthand experience on how to tackle this emerging challenge.

The Battle of Algorithms: How AI is beating AI at its own game

Among rapidly evolving technological advancements, the emergence of AIenhanced malware is making cyber-attacks exponentially more dangerous, and harder to identify. As AI-driven attacks evolve, they will be almost indistinguishable from genuine activity, and conducted at an unprecedented speed and scale. In the face of offensive AI, only defensive AI can fight back, detecting even the most subtle indicators of attack in real time, and respond with surgical actions to neutralize threats - wherever they strike.

In this session, discover:

• How cyber-criminals are leveraging AI tools to create sophisticated cyber weapons
• What an AI-powered spoofing threat may look like, and why humans will not be able to spot
them
• Why defensive AI technologies are uniquely positioned to fight back

One simple missed vulnerability, one big headache.

Developers are often regarded as the superhumans that know it all and can do everything. This is more than often true, however if we start blaming them for misses in the security specter of their code we are doing them wrong. It is not their fault, but more the overall way on how development is done from the architecture to the release. In this presentation I will show you how easy it is to miss security related details, that can be used by attackers to breach the victims data. If those security misses are undetected throughout your SDLC, if they make it trough your DevOps process all the way to the release then catastrophe is unavoidable. Therefore I will also show you how to spot them at the right place and time to avoid delays in your delivery schedule.

Validating Zero Trust Network Security with Breach and Attack Simulation

A modern digital business has no perimeter; it lives everywhere it’s customers connect and everywhere it’s employees and partners interact with it’s data and services. Whether it’s the “new normal” model of working from home, or the migration of services to cloud, your attack surface is constantly increasing & changing. Zero Trust is a strategic approach to security that eliminates that explicit trust that is currently prevalent, and instead adopts an “assume breach” mindset. In this session we discuss the approach to Zero Trust, and how Breach & Attack Simulation (BAS) gives security teams the ability to continually validate their security posture by continuously attacking their defenses.

This session covers:

• How Zero Trust Architecture solves current security challenges

• Why Zero Trust Architecture requires continual validation with Breach and Attack Simulation

• How Breach & Attack Simulation gives security teams the edge

Artificial Intelligence is Transforming Cyber Security: Hype or Reality?

A few facts are crystal clear. We, as a security industry, are not winning the war against cybercrime despite more than $100B spent each year by organizations. In addition it is equally clear that throwing more security professionals at the problem, even if they were widely available and affordable (which they aren’t), won’t solve the problem either as there is too much data, not enough integration, and too much forensic complexity for humans to keep up. The emergence of AI and machine learning as applied to security has received its fair share of hype, but can it really make a difference?
This session will explore key aspects of AI and machine learning, will give some real-life examples of it in practice, and then you can decide if it is a revolution in the making

Why you’re probably doing agile threat modeling wrong (unless you’re doing agile right)

We all know that Agile is a thing. There are very few people left in the software or security industry that haven’t at least heard of Agile software development, and “agile transformation” is a fact of life in many organisations. We also know that Agile has a big impact on security. Some see it as bad thing, others see a great opportunity. In this talk we are going to dig a little deeper into WHY agile is even a thing, why BEING agile is different to doing agile, and what this REALLY means for cyber security and threat modeling. We’ll explore the human element, the Cynefin framework, and Wardley mapping, and finish on some practical tips to help bring focus to your threat modeling journey.

Security awareness needs to adapt: A behavioural perspective

The shift to working from home and then to hybrid working have had a significant impact on security posture. But it’s not just new threats, it’s the change of “context” – who would have thought in 2019 that security awareness training should warn people about being overheard when working in the garden!? Traditional awareness, with typical quarterly or yearly content cycles, has been too slow to adapt. In this talk, ThinkCyber explore the behavioural science of helping people adapt to changing risk contexts, driving secure behaviours and empowering users to protect themselves against cyber threats that target the human user.

This talk will offer real worldexamples and ways that all organisations can apply the theories to adapt their approaches.

Minding the Multi-cloud: An Identity-First Approach to Securing AWS and Azure

Everyone is moving to the cloud, faster than planned. Most organizations have their sights on adopting a multi and/or hybrid cloud strategy this year. Yet, 75% of cloud security breaches are expected to result from inadequate management of identities, access, and privileges by 2023 [Gartner]. So how do you protect your growing multi cloud infrastructure? AWS alone currently offers some 258 services and involves 9,286 total permissions. Remote work is adding to identities and permissions explosion -- increasing access risk. Securing and governing access is further compounded by the fact that each public cloud has its own way of managing permissions and privileges. Join Ermetic’s Or Priel, VP Product Management, for a better understanding of managing identities, permissions and privileges in AWS and Azure. We will explore: AWS IAM roles and policies and Azure RBAC Strategies for enforcing least privilege with confidence Governing access and protecting sensitive resources Mitigating multi cloud risk using automation and analytics
