Creating a Winning Security Strategy for 2019

One of the biggest challenges in building a cyber resilient organisation is the ability to rapidly detect and even more importantly, rapidly respond to a malicious confirmed cyber-attack.

Here is a question? Can your cybersecurity toolset detect a sophisticated attack and take a calculated, automatic and immediate (stress on immediate, say between 0-10 seconds max) mitigating response?

Karsten Desler set out to create just that. He wanted to create a solution based on proven machine learning algorithms that can continuously learn and analyse malicious traffic and automatically take corrective action, with no human interaction.

Is this really possible or hyperbole?

Join Amar Singh as posts this question to the co-founder of Link11 company. Karsten is the chief developer who designed and produced the technology behind Link11.

We will also be joined by Joss Penfold, Regional Director UK & Ireland, Link11.

Cyber Management Alliance and Palo Alto Networks have earlier shed extensive light on SOAR - Security, Orchestration, Automation & Response and their platform that plugs in critical gaps in the incident response lifecycle.

Now, it’s time to pull out the stops and share the unusual, the strange, the unexpected. Because when it comes to security & network operations, there’s always room to reduce the boring, repetitive tasks that sap the life out of your day.

Need some examples? Here's what you can expect:
- How to build a playbook to automate on-boarding and off-boarding of employees;
- Better manage your physical security;
- Semi-automating remediation tasks (with strict workflows)
- Getting married and need to send out invitations? Believe it or not, we can do that too, and much more…


Join Patrick Bayle from Palo Alto and Amar Singh from Cyber Management Alliance Ltd as they review the possibility of Orchestration and how it can help you in increasing your cyber resilience posture.

Patrick Bayle CISM CISSP, Senior Systems Engineer @ Cortex (a Palo Alto Networks company) spent his first ten years of employment working on the security front line for one of the largest financial institutions in the world.

An Insider's Story on How One Company Created a Treasure Trove of Threat Intelligence.

Join us to hear the details of Mimecast, a company that is synonymous with email security, ended up building one of the world's largest repository of security threat intelligence. Malware, ransomware, word or excel documents. You name the threat vector the chances are they have seen it.

We all know that good and timely threat intelligence is one and very effective way to try to keep up with the cyber criminal. However, there are three major challenges when it comes to good quality threat intel

- Sourcing: You need to have a reliable source
- Scale: Especially when it comes to automated threat-intel, the larger the footprint of the source the better (we will explain more on this during the webinar)
- Credibility: As it implies, you need to know that the provider has credibility and integrity

Join the webinar to listen to Anoop Das who shares how Mimecast built and maintains this treasure trove of threat intelligence.

Despite significant investments in security, many organisations are still grappling with building a strong cyber-resilient business. Amongst their top challenges; How can they can be more effective in building the awareness and employee behaviours required to be more resilient to growing cyber-attacks.

Join us to hear about the awareness training journey a large organisation with 80,000 staff has been on, the challenges they’ve faced and the lessons they’ve learnt. What can we learn from their experience to enhance our own campaigns?

In addition during this webinar we will :
Join us as we

---> Share practical real-world examples and a blueprint for showing how your cyber awareness training could work based on a set of evidence-based principles.

---> Corporate learning in the digital age needs to enable and support behaviour change and we will assess the ways in which immersive training and active employee engagement can form the backbone of your cyber awareness blueprint.

--> Assess ways in which we can start to re-wire our ‘human operating systems’ – helping to ensure we help our employees become our most effective defence rather than just hoping they don’t make simple mistakes. Mistakes that our adversaries are counting on us to make.

The Panellists:

- Stuart Coulson, Director, HiddenText
- Nick Wilding, General Manager, Cyber Resilience, AXELOS and Head of RESILIA

The author Maya Angelou has said: “…people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”

The fact is security that doesn’t work for your people, doesn’t work.

We need to understand our own ‘human operating systems’ to ensure we can be effective in designing and managing innovative and collaborative solutions for our own ‘human error’ – the most significant threat to our organisations security and resilience. If, like us, you believe that there is a better way to achieve lasting behaviour change, then join us and share your experiences and insights.

The webinar will:

- Outline and illustrate some of the principles that should underpin an engaging and effective cyber awareness training.
- Highlight the critical questions you should be asking in assessing any awareness training solution.

Morrisons, the fifth largest super market in UK, will go down in history for all the wrong reasons. The inability to not just prevent but detect a massive data leak has meant that its brand name is being dragged through the mud and dirt, not once, but many times over. Yes Morrisons could have done many things and this webinar is NOT about beating up the brand or pointing a finger.

Experts in this webinar will discuss a better, simpler approach that may reduce or at least make these kind of incidents very difficult to materialise. Join Amar Singh, Barnaby Davies and Jeremy Wittkop as they take a positive and proactive approach to preventing brand-damaging data breaches.

Background: The Court of Appeal (October 2018) upheld a decision of the High Court holding Morrisons vicariously liable for data breaches caused by the actions of its employee, even though the employee’s actions were specifically intended to harm Morrisons.
