Understanding and Combating Credential Stuffing Attacks 9:05 am
Presented by Auth0
Click to ExpandCredential stuffing attacks are the most common threats observed at Auth0. These attacks can lead to fraud, loss of reputation, and ultimately, loss of revenue.
In credential stuffing attacks, threat actors use stolen credentials from one breach to take over users’ other accounts. This is effective because, according to Google, 65% of people reuse passwords across multiple accounts. On some days, these attacks originate from more than 50,000 IP addresses and may account for as much as half of all login attempts using our platform. Even the most mature companies are vulnerable if they don’t have the right preventative measures in place.
Join Auth0 to learn:
- How credential stuffing attacks work
- What effect they can have on your company
- Steps to detect and mitigate these attacks

A People-Centric Approach to Cyber Risk Management 9:30 am
Presented by Proofpoint
Click to ExpandToday’s threat landscape is characterized by attacks which focus on humans. For the third straight year, Proofpoint Threat Research has confirmed that over 99% of attacks are human-activated.
Developing a holistic cyber security program involves educating end users on where and how they are exposed to cyber-attacks, gathering metrics, and highlighting key areas where proactive steps can be identified to minimize risks to cyber-attacks.
During this presentation, we’ll cover:
- The clearly defined risk areas that are frequently targeted in cyber-attacks, with clear examples and use cases
- How organizations can implement a People-Centric security approach, decreasing their vulnerability to cyber threats.

IoT Security Is Bad. It’s Time For a Different Approach 10:10 am
Presented by Ordr
Click to ExpandFor many years now, enterprises have seen an explosive rise in unmanaged, IoT and IoMT devices. These devices are hard to discover, often run obsolete operating systems, and can be in service for years. They cannot be protected by typical agent-based security technologies. It’s time for a modern approach. In this session, Ordr CISO Jeff Horne discusses a modern framework for connected device security. This includes real-time, continuous asset inventory, monitoring of device behavior and risks, and automated Zero Trust policies to allow device access while limiting exposure.

Identity & Access 2021 - Expert Panel Discussion 10:50 am
Identity & Access 2021
Click to ExpandThe 2000’s view of “perimeter” in terms of security conjures up an analogy about castles and moats… but today, the question is, where is the moat? As we turbo-charged Work From Home this year, and BYOD is just a way of life – have your Identity and Access Management practices kept-up?

Moving Beyond Password to Delight & Secure Users 11:35 am
Presented by Okta
Click to ExpandPasswords have been a constant throughout the internet era. As we’ve moved from desktops to smartphones, from on-premises infrastructure to cloud services, we’ve all relied on passwords to access and safeguard our data and resources across the applications we use on a daily basis.
But in this new digital age where data breaches are rampant, passwords are no longer good enough. Not only are they insecure, they are expensive and offer a poor user experience. Fortunately, there’s a better way to protect your applications and stop account takeover incidents.
In this session, we’ll discuss the benefits of passwordless authentication and explain how eliminating the password can help improve user experience, admin visibility and control, and scalability. We’ll also walk through key considerations and first steps as you embark on your passwordless journey.

Automate or Die Trying: The New Cybersecurity Reality 11:55 am
Presented by Armor Defense
Click to ExpandAs the nature of threats continue to evolve as well as the volume of threats increase, a new reality is setting upon cybersecurity teams – automation. Paired with human error and the insurmountable amount of data to manage, it is inevitable that a potential threat will slip through the cracks for businesses who rely too heavily on manual process.
Implementing automation could be vital in order to reliably protect your organization and ensure resilience through robust and repeatable processes.
Join our session to learn:
- Key security considerations when implementing automation programs
- Advice for how companies can begin finding success with AI and machine learning

Keynote: Navigating a Tripolar Data Privacy World in 2021 12:45 pm
Jay Cline: U.S. Privacy Leader, Principal, PwC U.S.
Click to ExpandThe past several years have seen the emergence of three perspectives on data privacy, with Beijing, Brussels, and the U.S. enshrining different policies and approaches to allow consumers to protect their data.
The U.S., which notably lacks federal privacy legislation, has seen state-level policymakers and regulators take the lead in establishing legislation and holding firms accountable that have been perceived to break the rules. In comparison, the European Union has legislated out of Brussels a series of stringent protections that enshrine data privacy as a consumer right. Lastly, China, which enacted privacy legislation in its civil code just this past year, has emphasized centralized control of data.
Jay will overview this emerging global tripolar data privacy environment and describe how societies around the world are being drawn into the gravitational pull of these three philosophies. Grounded in this understanding, he will detail the steps that multinational businesses with operations in one or more of these regions can take to not only position themselves to better manage an increasingly fragmented regulatory environment, but to use compliance as a competitive advantage.

Practical Cyber Fusion – Operationalizing Threat Intelligence 1:45 pm
Presented by Anomali
Click to Expand“Cyber Fusion Centers” have moved from radical concept to marketing hype in just a few years. However, the concept is still important. Don’t let the hype stop you from grasping the true value a cyber fusion center can provide.
The cyber fusion center can be a worthwhile pursuit if the outcome is the ability to use threat intelligence to drive coordinated decisions across your security organization and functions to improve the overall security posture.
Anomali Chief Product Officer, Mark Alba, reviews the basic principles of cyber threat intelligence (CTI) maturity levels and explores how a virtual cyber fusion center can be leveraged to support the effective operationalization of CTI.

Challenges of cloud: How it makes an already difficult situation even harder 2:40 pm
Presented by Imperva
Click to ExpandCloud adoption is accelerating dramatically and extending many new benefits to organizations, but at the same time introducing many new challenges. This is especially true at the database security level, as the Cloud introduces a long list of new concerns: New database types (Yugabyte ?), more dynamic environments, no agents allowed, multicloud/hybrid and many others. This session will focus on better understanding these challenges and highlight strategies for incorporating Cloud into your data security model while introducing new capabilities and efficiencies.

Innovation in Cybersecurity - Expert Panel Discussion 3:35 pm
Innovation in Cybersecurity - IoT, AI, ML
Click to ExpandSo many quickly evolving technology advances are shaping the way we think about addressing most cybersecurity issues in 2021. Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) have the potential to automate and aid overworked Security Operations Centers (SOCs), The Internet of Things (IoT) poses entirely new challenges. With 35 billion IoT devices expected to be in operation by next year – weak passwords, insecure network services and a lack of secure update mechanisms concern every organization.
Our Expert Panel will discuss where these technologies are going, how fast they are advancing and what is coming next.
