Key take-away: 
How to rethink database security controls in a cloud-first world.

For most organizations, data repositories hold our most sensitive, mission critical assets. As enterprises continue their digital transformation journeys, data repositories and the sensitive assets within are more exposed than ever before for several reasons, including a dramatic rise in the:

• Amount of data created, collected, and stored
• Number of repositories storing sensitive data across clouds
• Number of users and applications that need access to data

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. We will discuss how to navigate the “new normal” and lessons learned along the way. This discussion is followed by a Q&A, so come prepared to ask your burning workforce questions!

Session description coming soon.

In the ever-changing symphony of the cyber realm, a cacophony of threats echoes through the digital landscape. Ranging from ransomware to data breaches, phishing, and intricate APTs, the orchestra of cyber threats grows in complexity. Emerging risks like IoT, cloud computing’s unpredictability, AI’s deceptiveness, and cryptocurrency add new layers to our musical security tapestry.

Threat actors – wielding exploit kits and zero-day vulnerabilities – orchestrate their attacks, preying on human vulnerabilities in perfect synchronization with state-sponsored cyber operations.

To counter this threat, collaboration is essential. Proactive security practices, training cadences, and threat intelligence sharing must happen. The interplay of public and private sectors is key to a resilient digital effort.

Let us march to the beat of constant vigilance, adaptability, and investment in a fortified infrastructure. Together, we shall compose a symphony of cybersecurity, safeguarding the digital soundscape, and ensuring a melodious future.

Generative AI, like ChatGPT, and Bard, has incredible potential, but it also brings certain negative elements and concerns for everyone. It’s important to address these concerns to ensure responsible and ethical use of AI technology, especially within cybersecurity. This panel covers insider threats, lack of accountability, cybersecurity vulnerabilities, fake data and data privacy, human replacement concerns and ethical misuse.

By understanding these fears and proactively addressing them through responsible development, robust safeguards, and ongoing monitoring, we can harness the potential of generative AI while mitigating its associated risks. Collaboration between AI researchers, policymakers, and industry professionals is essential to ensure that generative AI technology is developed and deployed in a manner that aligns with ethical standards and human values. Hear from experts in the field on how they’re trying to navigate this new song and dance with AI and what we can expect in the near and distant future. what it takes to provide the support DevOps teams need.
