    Zero Standing Privilege (ZSP) was a new term introduced in 2019 and might just be the best approach to shift your Privileges Access Management (PAM) strategy into high gear. In this short presentation, we’ll discuss how PAM projects were managed historically and highlight a new PAM approach to reduce the impact of compromised admin credentials.

    Do you know what admin credentials exist today or even how they change over time in your organization? This is just one of several challenges we’ll discuss, offer a solution and discuss the need and value of frequent scanning of admin rights, reporting on current standing privileges and the adoption of a ZSP and Just-In-Time administration.

    So, if you’re looking for quick wins in PAM, including removing local admin rights and support for DevOps+PAM use cases, join the discussion and learn how other organizations like yours have succeeded.

    Are You Ready for the Convergence of IIoT, OT, and IT Security?

    10:00 am - 10:30 am

    Business transformation and drive for smart factory initiatives has placed demands on business leaders to leverage relevant technologies to achieve the desire end goal of operational excellence. The technologies such as industrial internet of things (IIoT) are being layered on top of manufacturing floor machinery to provide that needed insight into business operations and productivity. These improvement and perceived operational excellence have come with cyber security risks which were not a common place in manufacturing space previously. It for this reason that there is now a convergence between operation technology (OT), Industrial internet of things (IIoT) and IT. This intersection is becoming very evident in manufactural, supply chain and traditional production organization or companies.

    Most of these manufacturing machineries were never directly connected to the ethernet networks and as such the risk was very minimal. In some cases, these organizations had organized security based on perimeter controls such as data center firewalls, site firewalls, floor firewalls that provide segmentation or microsegment between corporate IT and manufacturing operation technology (OT space). However, if the individual devices that are connected on the OT side become compromised and the threat has access to that communication link, a hacker can push malicious data, cause denial of service (DoS), or introduce malware or viruses to the entire network — even if there is a secure communication link. There are many ways to run into problems on the OT/IoT front if companies are not careful in their network design security implementation. These increase the risk and a re-thinking of how to architect security appropriately to meet the ever-evolving threat landscape with relevant implications to OT/IIoT and larger enterprise network.

    Supply chain risks are at the top of everyone’s mind today, and the US Department of Defense (DoD) is no different. That is why the DoD created its Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC). CMMC is a five level, third-party validated maturity certification. CMMC includes both technical and process/procedural requirements. Organizations in the Defense Supply Chain will be required to obtain CMMC certification before contract award. Requests for Proposals (RFPs) containing CMMC requirements are expected in October 2020. This session provides an overview of CMMC and the corresponding industry-led ecosystem that is being created, spearheaded by the CMMC Accreditation Body (CMMC-AB).

If you stop and think about it, it was quite the feat—a massive cloud migration the likes of which had never been seen before. Now that things are somewhat settled into a pattern, what are you discovering that should have been done differently? Realizing that a lot of the same things need to be done? How is the network perimeter now? How many devices are suddenly on your networks? IoT devices from the remote workers piggybacking on the home connections? What are the legal challenges now (think reasonable security)? Join us for a panel discussion of security experts.

    Insider threats are a real danger and cannot be overlooked. While deploying the latest secure system to fight against cyber threats is a decent strategy, you must also implement an effective insider threat system for an overall cybersecurity solution. An insider threat program cannot be brought off the shelf, but is a continuous process to identify and detect an incident as it occurs.

    To be successful in presenting IT security to senior leadership, it’s important it is done in way that they can ingest, process, and understand; because ultimately, IT risk management decisions are business decisions, not technical decisions. And now much of this communication is happening via Zoom or Teams.

    This session will discuss approaches to present to individual business decision makers, understanding that each has his/her own goals, incentives, currency, and biases. We will discuss three simple concepts to be defined and agreed on by senior leadership to move forward: what does success look like?; what does failure look like?; how do we measure these? Please bring your questions on this topic!
