Broken Authentication: Fixing one of the most critical web application security risks 9:25 am
Click to Expand
Authentication is a cornerstone capability of any application. Ensuring a user is who they say they are is crucial to maintaining data privacy and preventing fraud and data breaches. Consequently, improperly implemented authentication, known as broken authentication, is a potentially devastating application vulnerability. In fact, the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) lists broken authentication as the second most critical security risk to web applications.
This session will provide:
- An overview of broken authentication;
- Why it’s so dangerous;
- The types of threats that can take advantage of this vulnerability;
- How you can prevent this most critical application security risk.

A Modern Approach to Information Protection 9:45 am
Click to Expand
Data Loss Prevention (DLP) solutions alone can no longer address today’s data privacy requirements. Customer PII data is the most often lost or stolen data, and more than half of these breaches involve malicious attacks. Challenges like increasing threat activity, difficulty protecting a remote workforce, and accelerating migration of data to cloud platforms make it harder to secure data and comply with privacy regulations – especially when analysts need multiple tools to investigate data leakages. So how can you better protect your company in 2021?
Join us as we discuss how you can reimagine data privacy with a modern approach to information protection. In this session, we will cover:
- Modern data security challenges
- The convergence of data and threat protection to secure data from internal and external threats
- How people-centric investigations lead to more rapid investigative outcomes

Out of the Shadows: Real-time Asset Visibility and Security for Every Connected Device 10:45 am
Click to Expand
For many years now, enterprises have seen an explosive rise in connected devices, from traditional IT devices like servers, workstations and PCs to new and more vulnerable IoT, IoMT, and OT like building systems, medical equipment and manufacturing machines. This myriad of devices from different manufacturers, operating systems and protocols expand the attack surface. IoT, IoMT, and OT bring their own challenges as they are typically not designed with security in mind. The bad news? Security teams are still responsible for all of them. It’s time for a modern approach. In this session, Ordr’s Chief Strategy Officer Danelle Au outlines why connected device security should be on your security initiatives in 2021, and presents a framework that starts with real-time asset inventory and ends with scalable security. Learn best practices and implementation considerations for device discovery, profiling and segmentation as you start your connected device security journey.

Expert Panel Discussion: Identity & Access 2021 11:05 am
Click to Expand
The 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?

Disrupting Lateral Movement by Securing Active Directory 1:10 pm
Click to Expand
Organizations continue to build their security stacks, yet advanced threats and insiders continue to breach networks and extract valuable data. A common tactic among most of these Ransomware and Advanced Threat Actors today involves leveraging Active Directory. AD contains all of the information that an attacker needs to successfully move laterally and accomplish their mission.
In this session, Tom Atkins will explore a new method for securing Active Directory that can (for the first time) actually prevent an attacker from progressing laterally through your enterprise network. Some key highlights include:
- How Threat Actors use AD to accomplish their goals
- Why Monitoring Active Directory is not enough
- What simple tools you can deploy to dramatically improve your security posture by better securing AD

Moving Beyond Password to Delight & Secure Users 1:30 pm
Click to Expand
Passwords 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.

Rethinking data protection in the age of ransomware 2:05 pm
Click to Expand
With the proliferation of data-driven digital business growing at an exponential pace, so is the pace of cyber security threats and attacks, such as ransomware. Cyberattacks can cost a company $1.4 Million on average in recovery when you add in the cost of lost productivity, reputation damage, and service disruption. Are you at risk? Can your backup keep pace with the speed of recovery that’s needed today? Attend this session to find out why traditional backup won’t save you from ransomware attack and how continuous data protection helps you to prepare, respond and recover from an attack.

Get beyond compliance and achieve real data security 2:25 pm
Click to Expand
To keep pace with the database activity explosion that has accompanied recent rapid technology innovations, organizations must rethink their strategy for securing their data assets. A strategy designed to meet compliance requirements is not enough. Organizations need to develop new approaches that augment traditional agent-based monitoring to achieve real data security today and in the future.We’ll provide insight into how you can automate data collection and monitoring so you may apply more resources to identifying non-compliant behavior and orchestrating rapid responses, regardless of where your data is or the size of your data estate.

Expert Panel Discussion: Supply Chain / Third Party Risk 2:50 pm
Beyond SolarWinds: Supply Chain & Third Party Risk Management for 2021
Click to ExpandEven before SolarWinds Orion Code Compromise, Supply Chain Attacks were up over 400% in 2020. As 2021 rolls on, this attack vector has received tremendous attention. Along with third-party risk in general, partner organizations and software systems with unfettered, privileged, deep access to infrastructure create “a perfect storm” threat for modern cyber executives.
In this panel, our experts will discuss these challenges in detail, as well as the multiple approaches to identify the best means of using supply chains while keeping the third party risks at a minimum.

Click to Expand
With the growth of Ransomware and cybercrime, Data protection is experiencing a resurgence. Organizations are quickly having to modernize their data protection architecture and strategies to meet not only these demands but also the demand that digital transformation is placing upon them; current approaches are designed around a backup centric approach, whereas a new approach centered around restore and getting organizations back up and running as quickly as possible are critical. Join this session to learn about the latest innovations in the data protection space and how they can be implemented to provide a restore centric approach and provide a true last line of defense.
