Database Performance Unleashed: Where AI and Enterprise Meet

Several cyber insurers have turned the noncompliance tables on their clients with the covenants of their cyber insurance policies. Ironically, these covenants are nothing more than IT security requirements which, with some board and C-suite support and focus, can be fulfilled by the CIO and his team. 

In this presentation, industry thought leader Ralph Villanueva will draw on his IT security, compliance and cyber security insurance experiences (he is a licensed P & C insurance agent and broker, which includes cyber security insurance) to help the audience avoid these five cyber insurance pitfalls and ensure that if an insurable event occurs, their employers will receive the full benefits of their cyber insurance policy.

Secure your Company by Avoiding These Five Cyber Insurance Pitfalls

Cyber insurance is a must in today's IT threat landscape, but how do you make the right choice among the vast market of providers? This session, presented by industry thought leader Vincent Amanyi, will detail a comprehensive model of how to to better align your organization assets with the right cyber insurance mix. 

Key takeaways

Evaluating Options for Cyber Insurance

In an era where "cloud-first’ is often mistaken for “cloud-only,”' let’s explore a few often-neglected aspects of ransomware incident preparedness, highlighting the ironic shift in readiness from things we used to do well (or at least often) in the pre-cloud era, but that have been left behind in the present day. This presentation will focus specifically on three critically underappreciated practices that are still useful, and increasingly pivotal, for effective response to ransomware attacks.

1.) The significance of "go-to-paper" processes, you know, good old-fashioned manual business continuity (BC) procedures we used to follow when our digital world went dark. We'll explore how these archaic yet surprisingly resilient manual tactics are more than just a trip down memory lane, but necessary steps in ensuring your business keeps running even when screens don’t.

2.) Infrastructure backups. We're not just talking about your important data, but the increasingly software-defined and abstracted infrastructure components you rely on. This discussion will strip away the veil of complacency that often shrouds cloud-based systems, revealing the stark realities of shared responsibilities and the need for a more holistic approach to disaster recovery.

3.) The practicality of meeting recovery point objectives (RPO) and recovery time objectives (RTO) when relying on offline or internet-based backups. This involves an in-depth analysis of current practices; measuring their actual effectiveness and whether regaining access to data and systems is possible within acceptable time and data loss thresholds.

By revisiting these "old" strategies, we propose a renewed, hybrid approach to ransomware preparedness, blending traditional wisdom with modern technological capabilities. This presentation aims to equip organizations with a more holistic and resilient strategy in the face of evolving cyber threats.

Old School Lessons for Handling Ransomware in the Digital Age

While ransomware prevention is always the goal, what happens when it occurs anyways?  Backups or disaster recovery solutions are not enough. Companies need an actual plan on what to do, key steps to take as well as additional options for when primary solutions do not work as expected or simply fail.  

Key takeaways:
- Initial assessment.
- Team communication.
- What to expect if you do or don’t pay the ransom.
- Bringing in third party help.
- Recovery process

Viewers will also learn pivotal prevention steps such as:
- Recovery points / Clusters.
- Infrastructure safe guards.

Key Steps to Planning Recovery from Ransomware Attacks

Cloud adoption has been a puzzling trend in IT for over a decade. Even today, how to adopt the cloud as part of your business's IT strategy isn’t a straightforward, never mind adopting multiple! And how do you keep them secure? It's almost every day we hear how Ransomware has taken down the most critical part of any business...the application. No matter what cloud you use, one thing that is common is keeping applications critical to the business online. This requires a software-based disaster recovery solution designed with Ransomware Resilience and is built with multi-cloud in mind. In this session, we discuss how Zerto can help keep your VMs secure with the new encryption detection capability and how this extra layer of security enables this idea of multi-cloud mobility.

Ransomware Resilience in a Multi-Cloud World with Zerto

A typical organisation’s data has grown 42% over the last 18 months, as observed in the Rubrik Zero Labs Report (2023). With this tremendous data growth, the problem of unstructured data and its growing footprints are presenting enterprise organisations with new challenges: their legacy tools are simply unable to keep up. 

In multi-vendor environments, achieving complete data visibility becomes nearly impossible, hindering data management, monitoring, and recovery. Furthermore, there is a growing trend of cyber attackers targeting backup data. 

Learn from industry and data experts Vileen Dhutia, VP RubrikX EMEA/APAC, Rubrik, and Jack Poller, Senior Analyst, Enterprise Strategy Group, as they discuss:
 - Why growth spur in data accumulation means bigger ransomware risks
 - What NAS security challenges organisations can expect in 2024
 - How organisations can efficiently handle the increasing threats of ransomware attacks

Unstructured Data: One of the Greatest Gateways for Ransomware Attacks

The FBI is reporting that ransomware attacks are up 60% year over year. While this growth rate is startling on its own, the majority of attacks are not reported and many companies are not confident in their ability to recover without paying a ransom. What’s worse? 20% of companies that pay the ransom still don’t get all their data back.

Preparation is critical. Understanding the path ransomware can take across your organization, and the impact it can have, can ensure your organization is able to focus on what matters: recovery.

Preventing Ransomware Attacks in the Cloud

Zero trust is a strategy that defines how to architect your computer network and systems to protect and defend your data from attacks. It operates by assuming that computers, user accounts, software, and applications can be compromised at any time and implements continuous assessment of device posture, user credentials, and application integrity before granting access. 

Zero trust is not a SKU or a single product, rather it is a more secure way to provide access to data by implementing security controls on the end point, on the network, and in the cloud to ensure only authorized users and applications can access your data. 

Remember, the goal is to protect the data and make sure that it remains confidential, maintains integrity, and is available when needed.  

Tune into this this talk from industry thought leader John Bruggeman as he reviews zero trust at a high level and discuss what solutions you can implement to take advantage of this ransomware resistant strategy. 

Key takeaways regarding solutions for 
- End point protection. 
- End user authentication.
- Network access controls.
- Cloud posture management.
