    A surge in successful ransomware attacks and a spike in related news headlines have security leaders, the C-Suite, and boards asking the same question: are we doing enough to mitigate our ransomware risk? As a result, many security teams are taking a fresh look at ransomware risk management, from defense to response. Join this panel discussion to consider ideas and strategies which you can apply at your own organization including how you can communicate these efforts to executive leadership.

    A group of investors is suing SolarWinds following its supply chain cyberattack and naming the CISO in the lawsuit. They accuse him, and the company, of embracing “intentional or severely reckless deceit on investors” because of alleged claims about the company’s cybersecurity. Join this conversation between a Chief Information Security Officer and a cyber attorney to explore the impacts. How could this case alter future lawsuits? Is additional insurance needed for some security leaders? Is this the start of a trend or a one-off lawsuit? Plus, hear what other cybersecurity professionals are saying and share your opinion on this legal development.

    With phishing being an omnipresent threat to organizations, the strategy and execution of your phishing program can have a dramatic effect on reducing your risk of compromise. However, many organizations approach their program the same way: multiple assessments, pop-up training, computer-based training, and associated collateral material.

    But the question remains, “Is it time to cut bait and go home?” Does it work? This session will discuss human behavior, strategies you haven’t tried, and new approaches to teaching your population about the risk of phishing.

    Organizations continue to expand their market share, grow their presence in new markets, and enhance their capabilities and offerings through mergers with other organizations and acquiring companies. While mergers and acquisitions (M&A) bring a breadth of new services, solutions, products, and revenue streams into the acquiring organization, leadership needs to understand the target organization’s cybersecurity posture in order to determine the target’s cybersecurity capabilities and potential future state investments required to improve the target’s cybersecurity posture and address potential risks. This presentation will explore some of the industry trends, considerations, and common cybersecurity risk areas to review during M&A due diligence.

    As companies double down on time to innovation, time to market, and time to revenue, they are inherently introducing more risk from the inside. The more cloud-based, collaborative, and fast an organization becomes, the greater the Insider Risks posed to its people, technology, and data. The upside is that cloud collaboration tools make employees more productive. The downside is that these same tools make it easier to exfiltrate data.

    Adding to the complexities of working from home and off the corporate network, more employees are routinely using unauthorized devices, tools, and cloud-based applications to share files and ideas with colleagues.

    Join us to discuss the growing Insider Risk problem and how the right data protection methods can set security teams up for success, without slowing down company productivity.

    A summation of the journey by one information security practitioner into the world of DevOps. In particular, we’ll cover the importance of security practitioners walking towards the direction of DevOps (instead of waiting on DevOps to walk towards InfoSec). Importantly, as DevOps improves its ability to shift left, security professionals are left with a choice: either shift left with their software engineering colleagues or run the risk of becoming obsolete.

    Investment by security practitioners in improved understanding of software engineering best practice rewards both the enterprise and the individual.

    Running an information security organization is often very reactive. As you fight your way through the jungle of chaos, you realize that you need rules, regulations, and controls to build a fortress to shelter your valuables against risks and threats. But how do you begin to get and keep everything under control? With your information security policy documents, of course. Creating usable policy documents is very tricky if you don’t know where to start or how to make them meaningful and enforceable. In this session:

    • We will discuss the differences between a policy, standard, process, and guideline.
    • You will receive an overview of how to use the free version of the HITRUST CSF to create Information Security policy documents.
    • We will view a sample of a policy and standard created from the free version of the HITRUST CSF.

    • session level iconOpen Sessions
    12:15 pm - 1:00 pm

    A brief examination of data analysis methodologies for investigation in Incident Response. Three data analysis techniques will be presented:

    1. Analysis of Competing Hypothesis
    2. Cone of Plausibility
    3. Timeline Analysis

    Analysis of Competing Hypotheses is an analytic process that can help multiple analysts reason through an incident. It helps you to the appropriate hypothesis to further investigate when you have disparate options. It includes visualization, probability and cognitive psychology methods.

    The process is as follows:
    Hypothesis
    Evidence
    Refinement
    Inconsistency
    Sensitivity
    Conclusions and Evaluation

    I will also show Structured Analysis of Competing Hypothesis, a more advanced method. Cone of Plausibility is scenario-based. Timeline Analysis is graphical.

    The greatest threat to an enterprise is the length of time it takes to uncover an attack and then discover what has breached. Deception Technology provides a unique way to find, identify and enable a quick response to hacking without delays. This technology provides an early warning system that can function at multiple levels to serve as a sophisticated trip wire, which helps mitigate or prevent theft of data and associated damage. Discover how using this technology allows the tables to be turned on the attackers, so that they can be watched, their behavior analyzed and their targets identified.

    What will drive the next big wave of information security improvements at U.S. organizations? Instead of regulation, it may be insurance. A two-pronged evolution is underway. Insurance policies are suddenly becoming more prescriptive for organizations, often requiring companies meet certain cybersecurity benchmarks before a policy can be written. At the same time, “InsureTech” is emerging on the scene. This involves a new breed of insurance company that provides cyber coverage and also scans the insured’s environment to constantly monitor for IT and cyber risk. Join this keynote panel as we discuss this evolution and look at future impacts of cyber insurance on security leaders and their teams.
