Has the world of IoT taken over your world? As yet another technology is being embraced for all of the wonderful things that it can do, the not so nice side of IoT is either being ignored or not understood by consumers and enterprises alike.

In some ways IoT is nothing new, computers and mobile devices such as phones and tablets have been connecting to enterprise and carrier networks for years. But as whole new categories of devices are being recreated and connected, we see enterprises struggling with how to master and control this modern and high tech Hydra.

This session will focus on the challenge of securing IoT devices in the enterprise network and will identify three key issues that enterprises need to be aware of in order to securely leverage the potential advantages of IoT.

IoT networks grow by the day - prompting sleepless nights from security professionals the world over. As more and more devices join the network, how can we ensure that they're not becoming the latest weak link in the network?

This expert panel will look at vulnerabilities in the IoT, those that are more obvious and those that perhaps aren't. It'll also cover the latest threats targeting IoT networks; the mechanisms and techniques that are being used and how to stop them.

The IoT will be critical to business and consumer life from hospitals to connected cars to factory floors. Security and privacy remain key concerns and this panel will break down what the explosion of IoT networks will mean for security professionals.

GDPR and its May 2018 deadline are now fully the minds of the vast majority of security professionals and with massive fines on the horizon for non-compliance, now is a better time than ever to get to grips with the legislation and ensure that your organisation is secure and compliant.

Join this live interactive panel where our selection of industry experts will be discussing the ins and outs of the regulations; how to prepare, steps to take and what to look out for.

It’s vital that your business has carried out the relevant preparations for compliance by then to make sure you don’t get whacked with a huge fine of up to £15m or 4% of your organisation’s global annual turnover.

Not only are there potentially huge financial repercussions, but leaving your business open to attack and your customers at risk can cause serious reputational damage.

This expert panel will be discussing next steps to make sure that the next 12 months are as pain free as possible.

The clock is ticking on the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) coming into effect and while there isn’t wide scale panic yet, lots of organizations are either 1) in denial or 2) just coming to grips with its implications.

The difficulty with GDPR is that the regulation states the “WHAT” but pretty much is silent on the “HOW”. The overwhelming majority of the regulation deals with process, procedure and is it really necessary to collect the data and stresses the rights of the data subject. How to protect the data, in movement and in rest, is left to individual organizations to decide except for the vague mention of “continuous risk assessment” and “state of the art”.

Another major change from the existing national regulations, which were enacted during the mid to late 1990s, GDPR takes into account the massive change in how technology plays in everyday. To protect the data subject, the punitive aspect of non-compliance is significant with penalties of €20M or 4% of annual turnover, whichever is GREATER.

So in this confusing and changing environment, where do cyber security technologies come into play?

This session will focus on the role of the underlying network in any organization’s GDPR compliance efforts and how to take advantage of certain aspects of GDPR to avoid the substantial penalties associated with the regulation.

WannaCry has made a statement, impacting more than 300,000 victims across more than 150 countries.

Join us to learn how threats like ransomware can become so widespread so quickly, the impact that not being prepared and protected can have on your business, and how to ensure you are well positioned to avoid the IT chaos future threats may pose.

Using Authentication and Identity Management to Secure a Financial Network:
The Door is Still Open and the Horse is Almost out of the Barn

Carbanak. JP Morgan/Chase. Dyre Wolf. Bank of America. Bangladesh. Tesco Bank. This roll call should be proof enough of the attractiveness of the FSI to the hacker/cyber criminal community. While not all of them can be associated with Authentication and Identity Management issues, it’s undeniable that they have played a prominent role.

An increased focus on authentication and identity management is a right step forward but just confirming a user’s identify is only half the task. With the concept of Zero Trust gaining momentum, authentication and identification must be reinforced by the network itself through policy based access and segmentation.

This session will look back at some of the data breaches that have been attributed to weak authentication methods and how they might have been prevented. At the same time, the concept of internal network segmentation will be presented to show how both halves of the equation need to be brought together to effectively close off this common attack vector.

Locks, barriers and traps will eventually be broken and overcome. The enterprise security infrastructure must continuously evolve in order to continue to protect the enterprise’s assets and provide mitigation in case of a breach.

Security operations tools can play a critical role in maintaining the enterprise security posture through internal and external evolution.

During this presentation, we will explore the role of SIEM as an enabler and how FortiSIEM can be a catalyst for a more efficient, effective and complete cybersecurity infrastructure.

Digital Transformation, alongside European and country specific initiatives, liberalisation and competitive pressures, is transforming utilities, factories and critical infrastructure and their Operational Technology.

With emphasis on Cyber Physical Systems, design-Customer-Supply chain collaboration, mobility and the cloud as the core enablers of his transformation, OT security must evolve to meet today’s cyber security challenges.

This session will provide a high level view of these changes, the security challenges they present, and the security solutions which must be put in place to ensure a secured industrial transformation.

Software is eating the world – driving digital transformation and changing the way businesses do business. Cloud is a core enabler in every enterprise’s digital transformation voyage - facilitating innovation, agility and cost efficiency.

But harnessing the power of the cloud creates a multi-dimensional environment where applications, data and information are borderless and yet, regardless of their changing location and existence, must be protected and secured as part of the enterprise overall security strategy and posture.

This session will provide an overview of the unique security challenges in a multi-dimensional cloud environment, and the solution framework required for empowering and securing digital transformation.

We all know that technology plays a role in our everyday life but do you know the extent of that role? Advertising tells us to spend more and more of our life online and embrace technology in our homes, cars and everywhere else a microchip can be placed.

But nowhere is there a message about the consequences of the misuse of that technology. 2016 has seen a rise in the number of incidents involving ransomware, IoT, and simply well intentioned connectivity gone wrong. That momentum is set to continue into 2017 and beyond.

Although past performance does not guarantee future results, this session will focus on what we have seen this year and what we expect to see in the near future.
