Myth or Reality: Insider Threat Victims DON'T Have Their Heads in the Cloud

There are many challenges for data privacy legislation within a boundary-less cloud computing and World Wide Web environment. Despite its importance, there is limited research around data privacy law gaps and alignment, and the legal side of the security ecosystem seems to constantly be playing catch-up.

Cloud as the enabler of Internet of Things (IoT) and data analytics, the incorporation of cloud computing is critical for the successful implementation of these leading-edge technologies. Countries and organizations moving towards Industry 4.0 are highly dependent on cloud computing, as it is the basis for this revolutionary transition. However, complications and confusion arising from regulations (or lack thereof) surrounding cloud usage hinder cloud adoption.

During this webcast, we will discuss some of the findings from the CSA “State of Cloud Adoption in Asia Pacific (APAC) 2017” report and examine the availability and affordability of cloud computing in the APAC region.

Nicola Franchetto will discuss in a practical and business oriented way, the new provisions of the GDPR and how the PLA Code of Conduct supports compliance with the forthcoming EU Data Protection Legislation. More precisely, Franchetto will highlight the true privacy compliance “game changers” introduced by the GDPR and offer the audience practical inputs on how to set up a sound and effective corporate Data Protection Compliance Programme, which will also include having a PLA in place with Cloud Service Providers.

Ransomware has become a major concern for organizations around the globe. The U.S. Department of Justice reports that an average of 4,000 ransomware attacks occur daily. These ransomware attacks aren’t just targeting laptops and other end-user devices either. Servers are equally at risk of ransomware attacks as well. There’s good news though - your backup data can be difference between being held hostage and easily recovering from an attack.

Join security experts, Andrew Nielsen, Chief Trust Officer from Druva and Jim Reavis, CEO of Cloud Security Alliance to learn:

●The top vulnerabilities exploited for endpoints and servers
●Proactive strategies to protect data before a malicious attack occurs
●How to avoid paying the ransom by leveraging your backup data

All registrants will receive a free copy of Druva’s Annual Ransomware Report: 2017 Survey.

Cloud services have emerged as the preferred attack vector of some of the most dangerous and innovative cloud malware exploits of the past six months. Why?  Because many organizations don't inspect their cloud SSL traffic for malware and the same functionalities of the cloud dramatically increase productivity (sync, share, collaborate, etc) also provide ransomware developers with a perfect medium for faster delivery of malware payloads to more targets.

Join Netskope chief evangelist, Bob Gilbert, and Threat Detection Engineer, Sean Hittel, for a fascinating look at how malicious actors now design ransomware to make best use of popular cloud services to hide in plain sight, and do more damage in less time. 
 
Bob and Sean will provide technical analyses of recent malware campaigns discovered or documented by Netskope Threat Research Labs and how to defend against them.  These include:
 
• Virlock, which encrypts files and also infects them, making it a polymorphic file infector 
• CloudFanta, which uses the SugarSync cloud storage app to deliver malware capable of stealing user credentials and monitoring online banking activities
• CloudSquirrel, which takes advantage of multiple cloud apps throughout the ransomware kill chain with the intent to steal and exfiltrate user data
• The Zepto variant of Locky ransomware, now distributed both by popular cloud storage apps and via DLL

Encryption and terms like "BYOK" have surged to the forefront of cloud service discussions. Both security and compliance stakeholders express great interest in encryption and its apparent promises. However, the expectations built upon encryption and control of encryption keys are often founded on assumptions that fail under scrutiny. In this session we will examine the top myths of cloud encryption and look at factors that have contributed to the growing misperceptions. We will also examine regulatory and legal pressures that impact encryption in this this fascinating and evolving area of cloud services and data privacy.

Key takeaways:
- The fact and fiction in myths about cloud encryption
- The importance of thinking of encryption within legal frameworks
- How to spot encryption snake oil

Though one of the most mature industries in cybersecurity, the Financial Services industry has seen some of the largest explosion of innovation and technology. While startups and innovators are focused on speed to market and leveraging cloud infrastructure and cloud platforms as a service, the need for security in financial technologies is paramount.

In this session, Miguel Ramos will use case studies and his experience to outline key steps that can be taken to secure financial technology innovators, and explain how traditional, cloud and potentially even blockchain technologies can be used by corporations to ensure the security they need to drive business forward.

Data security has a tendency to be intimidating for organizations, users and implementers. Organizations see the value but the challenges of applying a data security solution. Wouldn’t it be great if there were solutions that took the guesswork out of data protection and key management?

In today’s data driven environment, there are strategies and technologies to protect data that do not have to be the high-risk propositions feared by organizations, users and implementers - IT professionals. By thinking of data security and key management as data t protection enablers instead of obstacles, you can easily protect data across the infrastructure and beyond. Data security and key management need to interact with the data and the users in a seamless way that doesn’t disrupt their processes or destroy the characteristics of the data.

During this webcast we will discuss some of the findings from the CSA Security Guidance v4 report and how data-centric security can help mitigate and manage many of the risks. Think of security as an enabler instead of an obstacle for cloud adoption.

It’s become clear that organizations need to overcome the challenges of securing hybrid enterprises. Hybrid IT spans platforms, tenancy and locations, which when using traditional solutions often results in a fractured security architecture without a centralized single policy, view or enforcement point. With this shift to hybrid, organizations need to embrace CSA’s Software-Defined Perimeter (SDP) specification to enable a new, transformational approach. Using SDP results in precise network security, automated network policies, reduced compliance effort and reduced attack surface.

In this session, we’ll summarize the progress that’s been made with the CSA’s Software-Defined Perimeter (SDP) specification over the past two years, and show how and why an SDP approach enables organizations to overcome the challenges of securing hybrid environments. We’ll conclude this session with a case study, showing real-world benefits achieved by enterprises that have deployed an SDP architecture.

It's becoming impossible for cyber security to keep up with paradigm-changing technological advancements which provide fertile new hunting ground for the more sophisticated cyber-criminals. You can't enumerate all possible attacks while calculating probabilities and impacts for each. We need to narrow things down. But when we reach for data, we drown in reports, dashboards, and alerts. We don't need more undigested data. We need answers. Enter threat intelligence. Useful threat intelligence is not data feeds of indicators without context, but interpretation that boils things down to provide recommendations so you can operate safely in the new Internet age. Threat intelligence demystifies the swarm of noise and connects the dots into threads that demystify what is really going on. We'll look at what good, actionable threat intelligence looks like and how you can use it to neutralize potential attacks before they strike. We'll look deeper at the threats against and originating from cloud platforms.

Join this in-depth interview at RSA Conference with John DiMaria, Global Product Champion for Information Security & Business Continuity at BSI Group.

Viewers will learn John's insights around:
- Preparing for GDPR
- Challenges for the new U.S. administration
- Protecting our critical infrastructure
- Protecting the IoT: personal accountability, product certifications, regulation
- The threat landscape
- The importance of security awareness training

Defending against human ingenuity demands a new way of thinking. With countless dollars spent and infinite alerts you still don’t have a true picture of what is going on. So when a breach happens, can you answer THE question: “How bad is it?” The inability to do so is what RSA calls the “gap of grief.” To answer, you must connect your security strategy and business risks.

RSA’s cybersecurity expert, Peter Beardmore, will provide perspective on this important issue during this pointed webcast designed to help security leaders:
- Learn how to garner the right visibility, in the right context to defend what matters most – and fast;
- Discover the 6 steps to take command of your evolving security posture in this uncertain, high risk world; and,
- Find out what it takes to link your security strategy with your business priorities.

When kicking off a cloud security project, you'll quickly discover that there are multiple deployment options for a cloud access security broker (CASB) – Log Collection, API, Reverse Proxy, and Forward Proxy – delivered via the cloud, on-premises, or hybrid - and with or without agents. But which CASB deployment mode is right for your organization? It depends on which use cases you need to support across which users and devices.

In this webinar we’ll share an objective overview of the use cases each CASB deployment option supports. Just as importantly, we’ll detail which use cases each deployment mode does not support and provide case studies explaining how companies like Aetna, AstraZeneca and Western Union leveraged various deployment architectures to cover all their key use cases (visibility, compliance, data security, and threat protection) across O365, Salesforce, Box, and Shadow IT.
