Trust-based Security: A Proactive Approach that Puts You in Control
In 2012 we’ve seen an unprecedented rise in targeted cyber attacks and an acceleration of the loss of core IP. While state sponsored attacks and cyber espionage have been occurring for decades, the level of disclosure and visibility of these attacks is rising to new levels. We are witnessing the greatest theft of intellectual property in history. Industry analysts state traditional Anti-virus security does not work and is “fighting a losing battle”. A trust-based approach is the most effective way to stop advanced threats and malware
In this session, attendees will receive an in-depth review of the importance of a trust-based security solution. |

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.

Key Steps of Protection for a First Line of Defense - Defending Against DDoS Attacks and Unwanted Traffic
With the number of successful attacks on the rise, it is evident that firewalls, intrusion prevention systems, and traditional security infrastructures are not equipped to combat them. These technologies were not built to stop DDoS attacks, undesirable behaviors, advanced evasion attacks and other unwanted malicious traffic targeting your infrastructure.
Corero Network Security, an organization’s First Line of Defense, is the leading provider of Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) defense. |

Secure Cloud and BYOD Strategies: Managing Trust and Encryption
Using the cloud and allowing for BYOD means losing some control. Digital certificates, SSH authentication and encryption keys restore control, right? Unfortunately, these security mechanisms—which have become foundational in every enterprise for establishing trust and connectivity—have become ticking time bombs in many cloud and mobility initiatives. Simple errors and malicious attacks have turned these assets into operational, compliance and security liabilities. Learn how to identify these risks and build best-practice cloud and BYOD architectures to keep your enterprise safe.

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. |

Mobility is not about the device; it’s about the data!
Businesses have begun to leverage the explosion in mobile devices to improve business functions through targeted
mobile applications. With this new platform, IT has been challenged to secure the devices as well as the data that resides
on them. Mobile device management(MDM) solutions have proliferated as a direct result of this need and many
successful solutions exist in the market place. These products do a great job of securing the device and the data at rest,
but do nothing to control the flow of data to the application.
In this presentation, you will learn about the four aspects of a secure mobile infrastructure:
- Device Security – a Mobile Device Management (MDM) solution to manage provisioning and base device security.
- Mobile Application Management – to secure application access and data on the mobile device.
- Mobile Data Access Management – a central control point to safely expose data to custom mobile applications
- Application Authentication and Authorization – centralized authentication provided by an authentication gateway

Secure, Manage and Control Privileged Accounts
Identity Management Tools, such as Single Sign-On and Directories are examples of important building blocks in any organization's Identity Management infrastructure. However, these tools are only geared towards individual users. An additional solution for privileged users should be deployed to complement the Identity Management Infrastructure.
This presentation will focus on best practices in:
- Frequent and automatic password changes of shared privileged accounts
- Automatically detecting and managing Service accounts
- Privileged Session recording and management
- Strong auditing of privileged passwords usage to ensure accountability
- Secured long term storage and automatic failover to eliminate risks of loss and to ensure availability during disaster recovery
- Removing clear text passwords embedded in scripts, and automatically changing them according to corporate policy

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
