Practical strategies to safeguard your network
According to Gartner the enterprise network firewall market is undergoing a period of dynamic evolution, as effective next-generation firewalls are now increasingly necessary. There is a new generation of Internet applications that traditional firewalls cannot see. They play host to various malware and find creative ways to penetrate your firewall by disguising themselves, hiding in SSL tunnels, and targeting multiple ports to find entry points. Gone are the days of lone, brute force attackers out to steal credit cards. The new breed of predators on your infrastructures and applications are highly organized, evasive, and patient. Regain control of these apps before they take control of your business! Join Palo Alto Networks in this session where you'll learn practical strategies to safeguard your network.

Manage, Control, and Audit the Use of Shared, Privileged, and Administrative Accounts
- Do you know how many privileged, shared, or generic identities exist within your IT infrastructure?
- Do you know who has access to these accounts and what they’re doing during administrative sessions?
- Are auditors requesting reports on entitlement to and usage of these identities?
The average enterprise includes thousands of privileged identities, accounts, and passwords. Manually managing and updating these is a time-consuming, costly and repetitive process. Administrative and application accounts (hard-coded, embedded credentials) can be found in network devices, servers, and software within an organization, including virtual environments, yet access to these accounts is unmonitored. Sharing of access to these accounts occurs frequently, so the system does not track WHO logged in, merely that a login occurred—a significant audit challenge.
Learn how to mitigate the risk of mismanagement of shared, privileged, and administrative accounts and how to address associated audit and compliance findings. |

Onboarding Personal Devices to Corporate Networks
Many IT organizations are being asked to allow personal devices onto corporate networks. Unlike corporate-issued devices that are well-managed and under IT’s control, this new Bring-Your-Own-Device (BYOD) initiative introduces a unique set of security challenges that require a balance of flexibility, visibility, security.
This presentation will explain the concept of a “BYOD Blueprint” and lessons learned from onboarding personal devices to over 800 networks around the world.

Walking on the Crocs back – when security measures fail
Mr. Barlow will discuss the current state of the nation in regards to security in the financial industry, how attack methods and risk models have changed, and how today's attackers bypass all of the shiny security tools, appliances, models and measures put in place in the traditional layered security model. Mr. Barlow will voice his personal and possibly controversial feelings on why today's security measures fail and what he believes will be the next new winning model that will emerge from the current ongoing security fiasco.
Note: Some aspects of this presentation are highly controversial as this is a no holds bars live honest review of some of the most tried, true, and trusted technologies and methods which will stir the audience and engage them in ways most presentations fail to.
Mr. Barlow has over 16 years of experience in the IT field, the majorly of it in the IT Security realm. He is the founder of the Atlantic Security Conference (AtlSecCon), the Halifax Area Security Klatch (HASK), Halifax Hack Labs (HHL), No Bullshit Labs (NBLS), and is has been recognized by for the last two years by Digital Nova Scotia as an Industry Leader. In addition he is also an avid speaker, having spoke at multiple past security events and is booked for multiple future events. When he is not performing penetration testing, incident response or other security related work he enjoys multiple outdoor pursuits such as hunting, fishing, extreme winter survival camping and spending time with his son.

Get Rid of the Fear: A Practical and Measurable Approach for Using DLP to Manage Risk to Information Assets
CIOs and IT executives don’t need to be convinced about data loss protection. Compliance, financial implications, brand reputation are all factors that drive this need. The real problem is that people are afraid of failure and wasting time, money, resources. They've heard about the operational nightmares, the complexity and failed deployments over the last several years.
During this interactive session attendees will receive valuable insight on how security works and learn the secret of understanding and communicating risk. Equipped with this knowledge, Andrew will provide a practical and measurable framework for managing risk to information assets using Data Loss Prevention.
What attendees will learn:
- Guiding Principles of Security and Risk Management
- Data Breach Trends from the Last 6 Years
- DLP Methodology and Execution Strategy
- Success Factors in Addressing the Web DLP Challenge

Data Protection from the Inside Out & Beyond
It is not news that viruses, worms and other malicious applications are currently being utilized to transfer data across a broad variety of protocols. Cloud providers allow individuals (maybe your employees) to create powerful "private cloud" computing environments.
These environments permit individuals to copy data from their own home or work machine to their virtual "cloud" machine with a simple "Copy & Paste" or "Drag & Drop". Such actions are mostly done utilizing the HTTPS protocol but often we see Cloud providers using Secure RDP.
The current, aging Data Loss Prevention model, developed in large part to focus on compliance, is not adequate enough to address these issues. There are well known failures which have not only given "DLP" a bad name; these failures have brought a huge cost to organizations in time, money and more importantly, in brand tarnishment.
Join GTB Technologies for an educational & entertaining session that will explain HOW you can protect your most prized asset: your data, using Next Generation DLP.

Turning the Mobile Device Evolution in Your Favor
Mobile devices are everywhere. While many organizations are focused on mobile device management, a growing number of them are realizing other strategic uses for these mobile devices. Whether corporate owned, or BYOD a growing number of organizations are utilizing mobile devices to replace and enhance legacy authentication technologies. Mobile devices are powerful identity tools that can enhance and replace authenticators such as: OTP tokens, smart cards, and user names/passwords. In this presentation Entrust will discuss the mobile landscape and some new innovative ways users can easily, and strongly authenticate to physical/logical systems.
