Transforming Your Network into a Platform for Mobility
The modern “mobile-first” enterprise network requires a mobility-optimized approach that is not simply dependent on network access for policy enforcement and control. Contextual elements, such as user identity, device type, application, location, and time of day are the primary building blocks used to create granular policies that dictate how, when, and what the user can access. In this session, we’ll assess the mobility-optimized approach which tightly integrates systems and adds contextual intelligence to create sophisticated “user centric” policies that reduce the complexities of a highly mobile user base. This will provide a vision for how optimizing for mobility can transform your network into a platform for mobility; a platform able to add business value, reduce operational cost and regain control of your network.

Trust-based Security: A Proactive Approach that Puts You in Control
Enterprises worldwide are being hit hard by targeted cyberattacks that easily bypass antivirus and other traditional security solutions. In this session, attendees will learn why a trust-based security approach that only allows software you trust to execute in your environment is your best defense against advanced threats and malware.

Eliminating Data Security Threats
Recent research has revealed that organizations struggle to offer collaboration technologies that compete with free, cloud-based, consumer services in terms of functionality. However, these free services offer few of the security measures that have become standard in the corporate data center, and offer little or no guarantee for organizations that data stored in these services will be protected in accordance with organizational standards.
As a result, 80% of organizations do not currently allow their users to use cloud file sync services, and only 31% plan to do so in the future. As only 59% of organizations report to actively block these services from their networks, and as many workers now have access to their own mobile internet services and devices, it is a logical conclusion that considerable amounts of organizational data are now being created and transmitted entirely outside of the organizational perimeter, and outside of its control.
This presentation will review the findings of our research, discuss techniques for how organizations may assess whether they are protecting themselves from cloud data exodus or running the risk of losing control over their information assets.
Michael Hartman brings over 10 years experience in the IT industry and has served in technical roles for companies such as General Electric, NBC, and 20th Century Fox. In his most recent position at Varonis, Hartman helps organizations gain total visibility and control over their data, ensuring that only the right users have access to the right data at all times from all devices, all use is monitored, and abuse is flagged.

The Dynamic World of Threat Detection, Containment & Response
Regardless of size, network security is a top priority for all organizations. Networks are more vulnerable than ever due to the inherent risk of facilitating remote access in conjunction with the volume of traffic and the speed at which that traffic is flowing. As organizations migrate from 1Gb to 10Gb and beyond, network security tools struggle to keep up with these increasing connection speeds as the tools may not be designed to process the volume of packet traffic going through the protected link. Therefore, it is vital to implement security architectures and strategies that not only prevent security breaches, but can also dynamically react to potential threats and scale to meet future needs.

Next Generation Threat Protection
The new generation of threats has exposed the need for next-generation protection against advanced threats. Over 95% of companies already have compromised systems within their networks. Why? Advanced malware has eroded the effectiveness of traditional defenses, leaving a hole in the network. Designed to use signatures to block known threats, traditional, and next-generation firewalls, IPS, AV, and gateways do nothing when zero-day, targeted APT malware attacks.
To fill this gap in network defenses, a new generation of security protections has emerged, ready to do battle against advanced malware, zero-day, and targeted APT attacks. These next-generation security systems must plug the hole left by firewalls, IPS, AV, and Web gateways by applying advanced, coordinated techniques to identify, confirm and block the activities of next-generation threats.

Real-time Security Analytics: Visibility, Alerting or Forensic Digging - Which is it?
Global cybercrime is now a $388 billion business. It only takes minutes for hackers to breach your network and exfiltrate valuable assets. But, it takes weeks to months to figure out it even happened. Signature products are easily bypassed. Other point security products aren't able to piece together multistage attacks. Log management and forensics tools are rearview mirrors at best. The attack surface, hacker automation, and overwhelmed security personnel are creating the perfect opportunity for your company to make the wrong headlines. It’s time for a new approach.
Security Analytics is an emerging market focused on finding, contextualizing and automating action around the hard to find activity that leaves breadcrumbs of dangerous activity in the massive volume of data companies are collecting. Click Security is focused on Real-time Security Analytics - the real-time conversion of data into actionable intelligence that helps organizations address a broad range of security needs associated with BYOD, IP Theft, Consumerization of IT, APT's and more.
In this session we will address the following questions:
1. What is a security analytic anyway?
2. Who on my staff would actually use this product?
3. What problems does it actually solve?
4. Does it replace products like Log Management systems and SIEMs?

Using The Next Generation Firewall for Detection and Control of Modern Malware
Modern malware is at the heart of many of the most sophisticated IT security breaches the industry has ever seen. Malware has evolved to become some of the most highly evasive, adaptable and resilient networked applications in the world, and often act as the platform for attackers to launch and control increasingly sophisticated attacks. Join us as we dive into the world of modern malware to see what is real, what is hype and what things we need to be doing as an industry and as individual security practitioners to protect our users and networks. |

The Future of the Advanced SOC
In today's world of advanced threats and complex compliance issues it's no longer feasible for an organization to resist every attack or manage security based on compliance pressures. There are no more castle walls to keep back the horde. A more realistic goal is for security operations teams to be fluid, reacting quickly to determine how an attack happened, reduce the 'attacker free time', and put measures in place to prevent similar future attacks. All while automating the proof of compliance process. In this presentation, we will discuss how organizations can manage risk more efficiently and secure trust in IT through comprehensive visibility, actionable intelligence, and advanced security analytics for fast detection and investigation.
