Moving Beyond Password to Delight & Secure Users 9:05 am
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.

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.

Do’s and Don’ts for Business Email Compromise (BEC) and Email Account Compromise (EAC) 10:10 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

Introduction to Risk-Based Vulnerability Management 4:05 pm
Click to Expand
Organizations have millions of vulnerabilities. And our research has shown that those same organizations, large or small, on average, can only fix one in 10 of those vulnerabilities.
But as a security executive you still need to keep your organization secure, so how do you do that when you can’t possibly fix all of your vulnerabilities? The answer is to focus on your highest-risk vulnerabilities first.
Join Kenna Security’s CTO and Co-Founder Ed Bellis as he:
- Reviews what years of research into vulnerability management data uncovered about the scope of the challenge
- Details the findings on how risk-based is the way to get ahead in vulnerability management
- Lays out several factors that drive better remediation performance
- Provides steps for setting up a successful risk-based vulnerability management program
