Securely Connecting the Right People to the Right Technologies 9:05 am
Click to Expand
As global enterprises adapt to the new reality of cloud-first infrastructure, the rise of different types of accounts and identities has asymmetrically complicated things. Cloud, mobile, social, and personal networks have types of identities, platforms, services, and technologies not traditionally addressed by enterprise IAM. Where an employee may have once had one email password, now IT manages dozens of credentials for SaaS platforms on multiple devices.
Knowing one security slip-up can be the end of business, identity access management solutions give IT the ability to manage access control and identity with the same speed and confidence for 10 employees as for 10,000. This frees them from time-consuming manual tasks – like password resets – and allows them to focus on more challenging, fulfilling projects to drive company growth.
Join us for this short presentation to learn how optimizing your IAM provides a seamless way to manage user identities and access while protecting against credential-focused attacks.

Why do Small Businesses Need Big Protection? 9:30 am
Click to Expand
As a Small and Medium Business (SMB), it’s easy to feel like some of the biggest cybersecurity challenges are aimed at large organizations. The opposite is true. Small businesses face many of the same cybersecurity challenges as larger businesses: 66% experienced a cyberattack in 2019, and 63% experienced a data breach.
Yet, 75% of SMBs know they need more security – and 41% say they worry about breaches from SaaS Apps, which they rely heavily on. At the base of many of these challenges lies DNS Security. DNS protection is easier to add, and more impactful on reducing overall threats than any other single upgrade that can be made to an average system.
Rohit will discuss a simple, cloud-delivered security service that is cost-effective for a team of any size to deploy, use, and manage.

IoT Security Is Bad. It’s Time For a Different Approach 10:10 am
Click to Expand
For 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.

Do’s and Don’ts for Business Email Compromise (BEC) and Email Account Compromise (EAC) 10:30 am
Click to Expand
Email fraud leads to two main threats- one is Business Email Compromise (BEC) where attackers pretend to be you; the other one is Email Account Compromise (EAC) where attackers actually become you. BEC/EAC scams have cost the victimized businesses over $26 billion since 2016. What they have in common is that they both target people. They both rely on social engineering and are designed to solicit fraudulent wire transfers or payment. Unlike malware attacks, BEC and EAC don’t typically include detectable malicious payload. These types of threats can be hard to recognize because to the target these business requests sent by the impostors seem very routine and reasonable.
Join our session and learn about:
- What is BEC and EAC? And how do they work?
- What are the common attack tactics regarding this new form of email threats?
- Best practices to defend against BEC and EAC
