Act, Don’t React: Stopping Attackers with Infrastructure-Wide Deception

Curley Henry
Director, Cybersecurity Strategy & Architecture
Southern Company
Biography

Although attacks come in many variations and styles, the majority of them start through endpoints—particularly user endpoints—and then spread laterally through systems, looking to exploit richer and richer targets. Deception technology anticipates these movements by turning every endpoint and server on the network into a trap. Deceptions are planted that are made to look like information or objects that will help the attacker advance his effort. When an attacker engages with a deception, and alarm is tripped. At this point, responders have a wealth of tools they can use to track the attacker and take action. Join our conversation to learn how by deploying deception technology across your entire infrastructure, you can uncover attackers in your network much sooner, and gain real-time, situational awareness that empowers your security team to act, before attackers can reach your critical systems.

Security at DevOps Speed and Scale: A Faster and More Agile Approach to Cloud Security

Carl Burgess
SVP, GISO Branded Cards & CRS
Citigroup Inc.
Biography

As organizations move to the cloud, finding some homogeneity across tools and consolidating systems will prove invaluable in maintaining system security and patch levels over time, especially in a dynamic DevOps-driven architecture. DevOps is built on principles of automation, rapid feedback, focus on testing throughout the process, collaboration, and consistent release practices. This model can also provide a great opportunity for improved security. Security teams need tools to partner effectively with DevOps groups so each team can work to its highest abilities, pushing both goals forward rather than working at cross-purposes. Join our conversation to learn how you can improve your organization’s security by integrating it more tightly into the development process without introducing roadblocks and enable security within agile development environments.

IT and OT Convergence: Technology Enables & Silos Kill

David Alexander
Chief Information Security Officer
Los Angeles Department of Water and Power
Biography

There is a cyber security challenge facing most companies that technology has not solved. The blind spot between departmental security initiatives that can create seams, which in turn, allows hackers access to corporate data. One example is the traditional relationship between enterprise information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT) teams who operate separately, each with their own set of priorities. While IT focuses on anticipating emerging threats to computer systems, OT typically focuses on the operation of generation or production systems – whereby security can be viewed as secondary. While the impact of a security incident on most IT systems is limited to financial loss, attacks on OT can potentially endanger human life and threaten national security. Both IT and OT face increased risk by third-party vendors, such as contractors working onsite or vendors that have network access, and both teams have information that could help secure the other. There is a growing need for these two teams to communicate, but this can be a challenge due to their differing priorities and operating cultures. Other "organizational silo" examples include IT and physical security where cultural norms keep both sides from sharing security event information. While technology is an enabler that can provide visibility and threat detection, communication between the two teams is key to successfully securing both IT and OT environments. Join our conversation as we discuss the security silos within organizations, the cyber security issues that are bringing the IT and OT together, the challenges that they must overcome, and how visibility and communication, enabled by technology, are the answer to a successful relationship between both teams.

Why Cybersecurity Needs Eyes, and AI, on the Inside

Duaine Styles
Chief Information Security Officer
Torchmark Corp.
Biography

Analysts are buried in false positives, struggling to manually put the many pieces together to identify truly critical threats. Defending against cyber adversaries requires a new approach—one that considers the unique characteristics of adversary goals and behavior. AI can identify and tie together sets of behaviors that adversaries must use, but which are statistically unlikely for legitimate users and systems to accidentally perform in the course of normal operations. If you have the data you need to enable forensics post-incident, you also have the data you need to detect an adversary before they achieve their objective. Join our conversation to learn more about how the addition of AI can provide visibility and correlation across all systems and give network defenders the opportunity to gain the upper hand against adversaries now and into the future.

Key Requirements for Successful, Business-Driven Network Security Policy Management and Automation

Tod Mitchinson
Vice President, Chief Information Security Officer
New York Life Insurance Company
Biography

Network and Security teams are often perceived as standing in the way of innovation and business agility. When an enterprise rolls out a new application or migrates an application to the cloud it can take weeks or even months to ensure that all the security devices and network segments can communicate with each other, and at the same time prevent access to hackers and unauthorized users. But IT does not need to be a bottleneck to business agility. Nor is it necessary to accept more risk to satisfy the demand for speed. The solution is to take a business-driven approach to security policy management that aligns security with business processes using automation. Join our conversation to discuss the requirements of taking an application-centric approach to managing security that will help improve business agility, reduce risks, ensure compliance and lower operating costs.

Stop Breaches in Real-Time Based on User Behavior

Craig Shumard
Retired CISO, CIGNA
ISE® Industry Expert, T.E.N.
Biography

A recent Forrester study noted an astonishing two-thirds of organizations experienced an average of five or more security breaches in the past two years. These breaches have resulted in billions of compromised user names and passwords, further increasing the risk of subsequent breaches. Armed with these stolen credentials, an attacker has just the camouflage they need to “look” like a legitimate user – where they can infiltrate and move laterally through an organization without raising suspicion. Risk-based security solutions that include integrated machine learning can help IT identify suspicious activity in real-time and respond quickly to stop a potential breach in progress.

Join our conversation to learn how machine learning enables access based on user behavior, helping your security team better implement risk-based policy to protect your organization’s entire hybrid IT environment.

Protecting Against Digital Deception--The Rise of “Artificial Perception” to Automate the Detection and Prevention of Cyber Attacks

Ken Haertling
Senior VP, Global Cybersecurity
Las Vegas Sands
Biography

For all the protection we afford to networks, applications and data, the human element of enterprises remains the most exposed, vulnerable and frequently attacked point of entry into any enterprise. While traditional attacks leverage technology-based system vulnerabilities, such as software bugs and misconfigurations, social engineering attacks take advantage of human vulnerabilities by using deception to trick targeted victims into opening the doors to hackers. It’s time to better protect and defend this vulnerability. It is possible to automate the process by which people decide whether or not they can trust an email or other communication channel and leverage existing technology to look for signs of digital deception. This approach, which goes beyond the often over-hyped term “artificial intelligence”, represents a new form of “Artificial Perception,” and can prevent or mitigate damage in real time. To remain relevant, these automated defenses must not just “think like computers,” but also model what makes messages deceptive to end users. Join our conversation as we discuss how this bold and proven approach can help you avoid critical system breaches.

Biography

People. They are an organization’s greatest asset - and greatest risk. Employees, contractors, remote workers and partners: they are inside your network, familiar with your systems and processes, and access to sensitive information is part of their daily job. Insider risks may be small actions that appear normal on the surface and occur over months and years, making them difficult or impossible to detect. And insider risk isn’t just about theft either. It includes abusing a position and access to sensitive information for unfair advantage or personal gain. Regardless of whether it’s theft, fraud or misuse of information, it’s risk. What can CISOs do about it? Existing tools are noisy and provide a siloed view: Organizations have multiple point tools in place that were purpose-built to solve a specific problem around data retention or anomaly detection, but were not purpose-built to assess insider risk in a holistic way.

As the volume and complexity of threats continues to rise, companies are challenged with managing security incidents more effectively. There are also a wealth of security products to learn and in many cases, security teams have too many alerts to investigate with limited staff. So what can executives do to enable a world-class SOC team? For starters, the team and their toolset need to be able to provide a comprehensive Incident Case Management system with SLA management, analyst assignments and metrics tracking. To help reduce the strain on SOC team members, full incident automation should also be enabled where appropriate and provide a clearly defined workflow via a playbook which analysts use to document the investigation. Finally, a SOC team should be able to empower an effective collaboration between analysts for Tier 2 and Tier 3 incident resolution.

Employees, contractors, remote workers and partners: they are inside your network, familiar with your systems and processes, and access to sensitive information is part of their daily job. Insider risks may be small actions that appear normal on the surface and occur over months and years, making them difficult or impossible to detect. And insider risk isn’t just about theft either. It includes abusing a position and access to sensitive information for unfair advantage or personal gain. Regardless of whether it’s theft, fraud or misuse of information, it’s risk. What can CISOs do about it? Existing tools are noisy and provide a siloed view: Organizations have multiple point tools in place that were purpose-built to solve a specific problem around data retention or anomaly detection, but were not purpose-built to assess insider risk in a holistic way. Join our conversation as we take a look at best practices on insider risk.

Hunting Threats Across Time: The Benefits of Proactive Threat Hunting

Martin Littmann
CTO & CISO
Kelsey-Seybold Clinic
Biography

Improved incident response practices with the aid of strong automation platforms have gone a long way towards helping mature enterprises reduce the overall risk of catastrophic breaches. However, with the financial benefits of cybercrime driving criminals to elaborate methods of evading detection, it’s inevitable that they will still be able sneak some attacks by even the most advanced automated detection methods. To defend themselves, a number of organizations have found a great deal of success in the form of proactive threat hunting. Even organizations just dipping their toes into the threat hunting waters have started to reap the benefits of proactively seeking out hidden attacks. A study by the SANS Institute showed that of those engaged in threat hunting programs, over half say they’ve already achieved measurable reduction of risk in their organizations. Join our conversation to learn how your organization can reduce attack surface and system hardening, reduce exposure, and enhance speed and accuracy of response to threats via threat hunting.

Cybersecurity Success Through Emotional Intelligence
8:30-9:30 PM
As new threats abound and attackers continue to find new ways to disrupt security and business, information security professionals must continue to grow as proactive innovators, good communicators, and team leaders. One way to further this growth is through Emotional Intelligence. One of the greatest problems in communication is a clear understanding of what is being said, how it is received, and how people feel about an issue. Harnessing Emotional Intelligence is a good method to channel emotions towards a path that will benefit everyone. It affects how we manage behaviors, navigate social complexities, and make personal and professional decisions that achieve positive results. Join our conversation as we discuss the benefits around utilizing Emotional Intelligence in the work place to get ahead, learn how to be authentic to who you are, learn how to shape your conversations as a thought leader, and how to show confidence and professionalism in the fields of cybersecurity and information security.

Breaking into Information Security
10:15-11:15 AM (Panel)
To become a security professional, you need a certain mix of experience, knowledge, and skills. While Information Security is by no means an entry level career field, that doesn’t mean it’s impossible to break into the field. A formal degree aside, hands-on experience gained in the security trenches is invaluable. A solid education and a foundation in systems administration, engineering and/or development are part of the "apprenticeship" that every security professional goes through. The key to making this type of transition is in learning and understanding security issues and finding a way to apply the knowledge. Join our conversation as we discuss at length the skills, background, and experience needed to help you break into the Information Security industry.

Does the next generation of attacks validate your endpoint protection, your SOC and justify a hunt team?

Caleb Sima
Managing Vice President, Cyber Security
Capital One
Biography

A wave of next generation attacks that are ‘advanced’ and ‘unique’ has hit. Your Ops team is commissioned to keep protections in place, operational and up-to-date, and along comes the next generation of endpoint protection. As endpoints continue to be the entry point for many largescale attacks, it is imperative that security teams take preemptive measures to identify and monitor potential blind spots as early in the attack life cycle as possible. Your SOC is already overwhelmed and anxious of missing never-before-seen attacks. You are now asked to build a “hunt team” when hunters are scarce or unqualified.

Join us in a conversation about what has changed from the attackers’ and the defenders’ points of view, its impact on the SOC, implications for hunt teams and endpoint protection.

Quantifying Cyber Risk – If I Were To Fix One Thing Today, What Would I Do That Reduces Risk The Most?
In trying to monitor and protect their companies, most modern enterprises are overwhelmed with a deluge of threat and vulnerability data. With so much data to examine, the issue can quickly turn to where to focus first. How can enterprises continuously quantify their security exposures so that they know which remediation actions will reduce the most risk on any given day? Mapping actual financial impact to specific actual security exposures seen in your environment, to measure actual value at risk, makes the difference between time wasted and reduced risk exposure dollars saved. Join our conversation as we discuss how enterprises can effectively quantify cyber risk so that they can be more effective at actually protecting their business.

Who is Your Sensitive Data Guardian Angel?
Breaches are inevitable, losing sensitive data is not. As numerous, devilish threat actors continue to find new and increasingly detrimental ways to go after your organization’s data, your security team needs a guardian angel in the form of a stronger, agile, and all-encompassing Data Protection Platform. In this new reality, traditional perimeter-based approaches to security are insufficient – deeper visibility is required to guard against the evil threat actors trying to access sensitive data. Security professionals must take a data-centric approach that ensures security travels with the data regardless of user, location, or even hosting model.

Who wouldn’t be more confident with a guardian angel protecting their sensitive data throughout its lifecycle and across the enterprise? Join our evening of networking and mingling with peers to discuss the battles between evil adversaries and the guardian angels responsible for protecting your data.

Avoid Getting Hacked: The Importance of Mobile and IoT Protection in an App-Centric World
The rapid adoption and overall growth of mobile computing and the rise of the Internet of Things has created an app-centric global marketplace, ushering in new applications that are driving new business models and revenue. As hackers increasingly target both consumers and enterprise mobile apps, developers and security teams must quickly locate and remediate security gaps and launch strong, agile app protection measures to help mitigate risks that are prevalent in today’s mobile and IoT environment. Additionally, the continued proliferation of IoT technology in everything from cars, home security systems, and medical tech has opened up a variety of potential critical and highly interconnected attack vectors for threat actors to take advantage of. We now live in a world where the application itself has become the new perimeter that demands security. Join our evening of networking and mingling with peers to discuss how you can improve your mobile application security through the use of advanced obfuscation, encryption, and detection.

Replace AV, Stop All Attacks
When it comes to stopping cyber attacks, traditional antivirus (AV) no longer cuts it. In 2016, more than 50 percent of attacks evaded traditional AV by simply not using any malware. During the same time period, successful ransomware attacks cost businesses more than $1 billion. Traditional AV is failing. Cb Defense, Carbon Black’s cloud-based Next-Generation Antivirus (NGAV) protects organizations from all attacks (not just commodity malware) including: ransomware, obfuscated malware, 0-days, and non-malware attacks. Join us for an evening of networking to learn more about how your business can replace traditional AV today and stop all forms of cyber attacks.
