Evolving Enterprise Identity: From the Data Center to Cloud and Mobile

User-driven computing models are generating a need for identity services that sit at the intersection of data center, mobile and SaaS resources. How can you give users the single login they want and IT the single identity infrastructure they need?

Learn how — Join Centrify for a discussion of the architectural, security and operational considerations for adopting SaaS and mobile computing using a single, unified approach.

Overcome enterprise identity challenges:

• Discover the benefits of centralized authentication, authorization, policy, and auditing for IT resources across the data center, cloud and mobile.
• Find out how to address password sprawl with secure, controlled access to Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) apps and other cloud services across PCs, iOS and Android devices.
• Learn about approaches for managing privileged user access to servers and apps.

Modern Day Attacks and a Silent Security Audit

In this talk we look back at 2012 and analyze some major hacks followed by a detailed  security audit report of 900 businesses.  We will discuss the similarities found and the cold hard reality that requires us to think more diligently about the tools we use today and the visibility they provide us.

Justin has worked in the security field for the past 10 years as an administrator and consultant in industries locally and globally. Currently working as a Security Engineer for Check Point Software Technologies, he now focuses on security needs for financial and medical partners along with critical infrastructure for the US.

Stop Spear-Phishing and Watering Hole Attacks - Put the User in a Bubble

Your employees are the primary target of attack by a variety of adversaries bent on doing your organization harm. This is a fact that simply cannot be challenged based on the last 24-36 months’ worth of breach disclosures. Spear-phishing and watering hole attacks have been at the root of virtually every major attack disclosed during this time - whether the RSA breach, the campaign disclosed by Kaspersky labeled "Red October," the "Nitro" attacks, attacks against the energy sector, The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, The White House, Facebook, Apple, etc, etc, etc.

We've got a user problem on our hands that we need to rapidly solve. We're currently losing the battle to our adversaries because the endpoint has become the new perimeter and our endpoint defenses are largely antiquated.

However, innovation is here that you must take a look at...come hear why the NSA recently won a SANS National Security Award for its work with Invincea in combatting APTs and user-targeted attacks.

Join Steve Ward and Ken Kreitzer of Invincea for an informative discussion that will cover:

• Recent examples of user targeted attacks and thoughts on why they've succeeded
• How advances in virtualization enable the creation of segregated environments for your users to run highly targeted applications such as the web browser, PDF reader,
  Office suite, etc.
• How behavioral based malware detection is being used in these segregated environments to spot and kill zero-days - including the recently announced Java 7 exploit
• Methods for turning thwarted attacks into rich forensic information that can feed your entire infrastructure and extend its usefulness

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.
