“Man plans, the Universe laughs” - unfortunately, that’s been the saying for far too long when it comes to cybersecurity. Security leaders know it's only a matter of time before their organization gets breached, but instead of being ready for it, they rely on fixing the problem after it happens. In Cisco’s newest report, the first ever Cybersecurity Readiness Index, it was found that a small minority of businesses globally (15%) consider themselves to be ready and able to defend against the expanding array of cybersecurity risks and threats of today. Organizations need to get ready and stay ready with solutions they can trust.

Compliance with cyber security frameworks such as NIST, PCI, HIPAA, etc. have largely been driven by paper-based processes in Word and Excel. With the rise of cloud computing, containers, and ephemeral systems, paper-based processes can no longer keep up with the speed of business and compliance has become the new bottleneck to progress for highly regulated industries such as government, finance, and energy sector. This session will cover how RegScale is leading a RegOps movement to bring the principles of DevOps to compliance with the world’s first real-time GRC system that enables compliance as code via NIST OSCAL. RegOps seeks to shift compliance left to make it real-time, continuous, and complete so that paperwork is always up to date, self-updating, and takes less manual resources to manage.

The cloud and SaaS were supposed to make things easier, simpler, more scalable. Arguably, they _have_ done all those things, but traditional, legacy networks linger. Migrations are messy and take time. Nearly everything is encrypted in transit by default. Today, we interview Marty Roesch, the creator of Snort and founder of SourceFire, to discuss how things have changed and what defenders can do to catch up and restore some order to the madness. We'll step through some history along the way - listeners might be surprised at how much our current situation mirrors the reasons behind why Marty created Snort in the first place.
Organizations today operate under the constant looming threat of cyber attacks. While reactive cybersecurity measures will help organizations respond to past and present threats, offensive measures are the only chance to get ahead of attackers and beat them to the punch. There is now a greater call for offensive solutions like penetration testing and red teaming to evaluate environments so security gaps can be identified and closed before a breach. Join us as we discuss how these solutions work both independently and together, as well as practical ways organizations can build or mature an offensive security strategy.

If you’ve ever worked on a red or purple team, you know scaling engagements to production is an intensive, unwieldy process. Technology pitfalls may exist, but the fundamental problem is this: the process of writing, testing, deploying, and verifying the efficacy of TTPs is highly flawed and inconsistent. This conversation will focus on applying a scientific process to security testing in order to achieve production scale.

Despite certain economic indicators warning that a recession is on the horizon, investment remains healthy within the security market amid thirst for cloud security, in particular. One such emerging field is data security posture management (DSPM), which aims to bridge the gap between business goals and a comprehensive security mechanism that leaves no data behind as organizations scale in the cloud.
A deep-rooted cyber security culture is crucial, and it goes as far back as the hiring process… 10 years ago, a typical hiring process consisted of working your way through a checklist, hiring individuals based solely on a CV. Today, the ‘Simon Sinek’ culture is gaining more prevalence, with employers realizing that hiring the right person, rather than the CV, can have immeasurable benefits for business. Ryan will talk about why this is particularly true within the cyber security sphere, and why business leaders should follow this particular ‘Simon Sinek’ strategy to build a successful security operation, and secure business, starting directly with the human’s that run it. You will walk away from this session knowing why it is important to employ the right individual rather than the CV, and how adopting this approach can drastically improve how a business responds to and manages security threats, company wide.

Don’t leave the door open. Modern systems are complex and require you to consider many aspects. Here are some aspects we consider critical:
- APIs are the dominant software development direction/trend. Traditional/legacy ways to grant access is not fit for purpose of protecting this new way of delivering products and services.
- Customers are demanding better digital experiences. To maintain a competitive edge and drive brand loyalty businesses need to provide great online experiences.
- Standards (such as OAuth and OpenID Connect) are important to ensure high-security levels. Also enables scalability and helps future-proof your infrastructure. For example in the financial sector, these standards play a key role in the drive toward open banking.
- A modern architecture is a zero trust architecture. In a zero trust architecture, the new perimeter hinges on identity.

Gartner recently reported that the RPA software market will reach $2.9 billion by the end of 2022, up 19.5% from 2021. But, despite Airlines adopting it to help with cancellations and retail for inventory management, we’re not talking about the security risk this tech will cause. Alan Radford, Global IAM Strategist at One Identity discusses the truly devastating impact that can occur when an organization leaves its RPA program vulnerable and without any identity and access protection, why realizing that machines have identities too could save us from dangerous RPA breaches in the future, and steps companies can take to secure their RPA technology as more companies continue to implement it.
