Cybersecurity strategies are shifting from a reactive stance to proactive approach. This change gives organizations the ability to be more agile with their security program. In this keynote session, our panel of industry experts will share their experience and insights on:

  • Is it possible to be prepared for the unknown cyber threat?
  • Team retention and talent acquisitions, including strategies for different generations
  • Promoting and driving a security and risk-aware culture
  • Current threat landscape’s most prevalent features-Cloud Security/Attacks, Human Error, Evil Proxy

2021 M&A transactions were up 55% in the U.S. over 2020. And 2022 is on pace to be even bigger. This wave of post-Covid M&A demands that cyber security leaders improve their efficacy. Panelists for this session are seasoned practitioners who are eager to share their experiences from the initial phase during due diligence through day-one integration of the M&A cycle: 

  • Ensure that a subsidiary cannot expose the parent company to cyber risks through the M&A process
  • Be a player and practice due diligence in the M&A process from start to integration
  • Leverage integrated risk assessments and automated smart questionnaires to gain a real-time snapshot into what a company’s cyber risk posture and overall GRC looks like

The need for third-party risk management has never been greater. Even though the risks to your company, customers and partners can be substantial, the processes, methods, and mediums used today are frequently flawed and even potentially misleading. In this panel discussion we dive into:

  • What does the current TPRM risk landscape look like today?
  • What’s working and not working in TPRM?
  • What are the risks and mitigation strategies?
  • Best practices and recommendations for an effective program and what’s needed in the future

Track A: Starting Your Journey to Zero Trust: "Who's Knocking at the Front Door"
Jim Salmonson, Technical Solutions Architect, Duo/Cisco Secure

As your organization defines what a zero trust architecture might look like, have you taken initial steps to align it with a mature security model? A zero trust strategy can reduce risk - it's more than just a check mark to meet cyber insurance requirements. Even smaller advancements with identity and device posturing can help to reduce risk. Let’s be sure to ask, "Who's knocking at your front door?" before we let them in.

Erich Kron, Security Awareness Advocate, KnowBe4

As ransomware attacks become increasingly targeted and damaging, infected businesses run the risk of having their data held hostage and their network operations disrupted for days or weeks. The danger has never been more real. Organizations must understand the core fundamentals of ransomware prevention, response, rescue and recovery. This session will explore some of the latest features of ransomware strains and review key takeaways, including proven methods of attack prevention and mitigation.

Track B: Graphus: From Phishing Attack Overload to IT Team Relief
Amelia Paro, Director Of Channel Development, ID Agent

Phishing is one the most dangerous cybersecurity threats, causing businesses to lose money, reputation and peace of mind. Legacy email security solutions such as Secure Email Gateways, or SEGs, consistently fail to prevent advanced cyberthreats. In this session, learn how AI-powered email security by Graphus works, why it is far superior to conventional security and how it detects and rapidly eliminates the most sophisticated phishing attacks, including zero-day attacks, business email compromise or BEC, account takeover or ATO, credential theft and ransomware. As these attacks grow more sophisticated, not even Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 native security can filter them out, but the Graphus AI can.

Incident Response: Are You Prepared for Your Organization's Worst Day?
Stoddard Manikin, CISO, Children's Healthcare of Atlanta
Monique Hart, CISO, Piedmont Healthcare
Bob Varnadoe, CISO, NCR Corporation
Jimmy Lummis, Senior GRC Specialist, Children's Healthcare of Atlanta

It's not a matter of "if" the next cyberattack will strike--it's a matter of "when.” The extent of your preparedness is one of the biggest factors determining what that day (and beyond) is going to be like for you and your organization.
When that day arrives, it’s too late to ask: Who have I prepared? How did I prepared them? What tools do I have at-the-ready? This panel of Industry experts will lend their experiences and lessons learned to unpack those questions as well as navigate us through the following:

  • What threats are most likely to cause the biggest disruption?
  • What are you doing now to protect your environment - and where are your biggest gaps?
  • How can we leverage all of the security controls in our environment for an effective, layered defense?

Ben Murphy, SVP, Head of Cyber Operations, Truist

2021 M&A transactions were up 55% in the U.S. over 2020. And 2022 is on pace to be even bigger. This wave of post-Covid M&A demands that cyber security leaders improve their efficacy. Panelists for this session are seasoned practitioners who are eager to share their experiences from the initial phase during due diligence through day-one integration of the M&A cycle: 

  • Ensure that a subsidiary cannot expose the parent company to cyber risks through the M&A process
  • Be a player and practice due diligence in the M&A process from start to integration
  • Leverage integrated risk assessments and automated smart questionnaires to gain a real-time snapshot into what a company’s cyber risk posture and overall GRC looks like

The need for third-party risk management has never been greater. Even though the risks to your company, customers and partners can be substantial, the processes, methods, and mediums used today are frequently flawed and even potentially misleading. In this panel discussion we dive into:

  • What does the current TPRM risk landscape look like today?
  • What’s working and not working in TPRM?
  • What are the risks and mitigation strategies?
  • Best practices and recommendations for an effective program and what’s needed in the future

Track A: Starting Your Journey to Zero Trust: "Who's Knocking at the Front Door"
Jim Salmonson, Technical Solutions Architect, Duo/Cisco Secure

As your organization defines what a zero trust architecture might look like, have you taken initial steps to align it with a mature security model? A zero trust strategy can reduce risk - it's more than just a check mark to meet cyber insurance requirements. Even smaller advancements with identity and device posturing can help to reduce risk. Let’s be sure to ask, "Who's knocking at your front door?" before we let them in.

Track B: Graphus: From Phishing Attack Overload to IT Team Relief
Amelia Paro, Director Of Channel Development, ID Agent

Phishing is one the most dangerous cybersecurity threats, causing businesses to lose money, reputation and peace of mind. Legacy email security solutions such as Secure Email Gateways, or SEGs, consistently fail to prevent advanced cyberthreats. In this session, learn how AI-powered email security by Graphus works, why it is far superior to conventional security and how it detects and rapidly eliminates the most sophisticated phishing attacks, including zero-day attacks, business email compromise or BEC, account takeover or ATO, credential theft and ransomware. As these attacks grow more sophisticated, not even Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 native security can filter them out, but the Graphus AI can.

  • What threats are most likely to cause the biggest disruption?
  • What are you doing now to protect your environment - and where are your biggest gaps?
