The Bots are Coming!

Actually, they are here. They now represent over 50 percent of internet traffic. But not all bots are bad. There are many good bots, such as chat bots and search engine bots, that we rely on in our day-to-day digital lives. You do need to know the difference and take control of your bot traffic—they cannot be ignored and you cannot just block them all. In this presentation, we will look at the growth of bots, good bots versus bad bots, what to look for in a bot mitigation solution and a few use cases.

Enabling Dynamic, Adaptive, Multicloud Security

Juniper’s Software-Defined Secure Network (SDSN) cyber security platform integrates, centralizes, and automates defense from today’s sophisticated threat landscape by automatically and dynamically detecting and responding to threats as a whole ecosystem rather than as an individual entity. This session will highlight how every element in an SDSN framework (physical, virtual, router, switch, firewall, edge) becomes an active participant in detecting and containing threats.

How They Bypass Office 365 Security

The move to SaaS has changed the phishing landscape: your Office 365 inbox is the #1 threat vector and your Office 365 credentials are their #1 target. In this talk, we will demonstrate the techniques attackers use to bypass Microsoft’s defenses. Learn how they use Microsoft’s own services to fool filters and utilize built-in tools to launch them internally–bypassing your email security gateway.

During this session, we’ll demonstrate how to protect Office 365 from:

• Email-based phishing, spoofing, and malware
• Account takeover, insider threats, compromised Microsoft credentials
• Loss of sensitive data from OneDrive, SharePoint and Office 365
