This session uses the story of traversing a gorge wall leading to the base of a Central American waterfall to convey the principles of risk management.  The story illustrates a practical way to structure risk management to prepare practitioners and managers to identify and create opportunities.

Attendees will learn three risk management principles that enable organizations to recognize business and enterprise opportunities.

This session will focus on how organizations that do business with the Federal Government comply with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) 800-171 Guidance, ‘Protecting Controlled Unclassified (CUI) Information in Nonfederal Systems and Organizations’. What does the organizations CISO need to know, and how to implement and comply with the NIST 800-171 guidance. This session will also focus on downstream organizations that may be supplying goods or services to organizations that do business with the Federal Government.

All cyberattacks are evolving, and attacks are getting more and more adaptive and cunning. Recently, ransomware has dominated the headlines, and incidents among the nation’s state, local, tribal, territorial (SLTT) government entities, as well as critical infrastructure organizations, have been growing for years. Ransomware actors often target and threaten to sell or leak exfiltrated data or authentication information if the ransom is not paid. Malicious actors continue to adapt their ransomware tactics over time, and in recent months “ransomware” attacks have outpaced so much so that they’re the #1 cyberattack in 2022 and continue to gain traction.

But don’t fret, there is hope! Come join us on a walkthrough of known countermeasures against ransomware attacks and many other attacks that could be a game changer in your security strategy: Proactivity, Awareness, Preparedness, and Resilience.

The threat landscape is evolving rapidly and so must the defense strategy. This presentation will walk through a holistic cybersecurity strategy for security and business leaders in today’s digital world. Key takeaways will include:

• Understand what is the holistic cybersecurity approach and why it is important
• Technology and technique involved in holistic cyber defense
• Lessons learned and recommendations

It is shocking that, year over year, stealing credentials is still the top tactic used by attackers to breach organizations. Why is this still happening? Hint: It isn’t only because of weak passwords. Organizations have invested heavily into privileged access management (PAM) technologies, but these solutions have struggled to address the problem for five key reasons. In this discussion, we will address the gaps in current access management approaches but, more importantly, show you how to quickly close the gaps and significantly reduce security risks without disrupting your current investments or systems.

Join Remediant in this discussion to:

• Learn the five reasons why privileged access management implementations fail
• Identify areas in your IAM program where you can reduce admin access risk
• Capitalize on existing investments, while improving your risk posture

Presentation level: TECHNICAL (deeper dive including TTPs)

We are living in a world of distractions—smartphones, alerting devices at home, metaverse—and we have a job to secure ourselves, our loved ones, and we get paid for doing it at work. How is this supposed to happen when families and staff are texting, exchanging information until they sleep? Control everything or do nothing? What is the appropriate balance? How do I keep sane? Come to this presentation on lessons of leadership and operating in a more secure way within this world of distractions.

A recent wave of state and federal government initiatives directed at the use of artificial intelligence systems and automated tools by businesses shows there is no coherent AI policy in the United States.  This presentation will discuss current AI/automated tools regulatory landscape, the wave of new state and city laws, and the need for comprehensive federal regime.

Over the last few years, the workforce, and the way we work has entirely shifted focus. Between hybrid work models, attracting and retaining diverse talent, forced digital migrations/transformations, cybersecurity succession planning and overall mental fatigue, the future of work has dramatically changed. Hear from Monsurat Ottun who is in the trenches navigating the ‘new normal’ in hybrid government offices, her different key takeaways, and the lessons she’s learned along the way. This discussion is followed by a live (virtual) Q&A, so come prepared to ask your burning workforce questions!

If we’ve learned one thing from the pandemic it’s that cybercriminals do not take breaks. They are constantly retooling and trying new approaches. They collaborate—often better than we do. It is time for us to join forces, identify the most likely of risks to our organizations, and strengthen our networks. We’ve got to get our developers on board, as well, as it’s got to be secure before it goes to market. And what about all the careless clicking from employees?

It’s a huge task, but we don’t have to do it alone. Join our panel of experts as they unpack the current threat landscape and offer ideas on how to start making effective changes within your organization.
