Data is moving faster and at higher volumes than ever before. With so much being communicated, the need for tighter cybersecurity is at an all-time high. Encryption is one of the top tools cyber experts use to secure their systems, with crypto agile encryption helping to enhance data protection as it’s on the move. 

Together with quantum computing, crypto agile encryption’s automation capabilities are game changers in the movement toward enhanced data protection. To help leaders better understand how these work together, quantum and data security experts QuintessenceLabs' Vice President of EMEA Gilles Trachsel and PKWARE’s APAC Regional Sales Director Matt Mackender will co-host a joint webinar on February 23, 2023. 

They will explore the following:
- What is crypto agility?
- How can you adopt crypto agility into your cybersecurity strategy? 
- How can you better protect data on the move? 

Don’t miss your chance to ask questions and learn from the best as they pave the way for a post-quantum world. Sign up today!

Crypto Agile Encryption, Wherever Your Data Moves

Having the right skills in place throughout an organization is vital regardless of sector but cybersecurity seems to be experiencing a skills gap that doesn’t look like it is going to go away any time soon.  What do businesses need to do about this issue? And what do candidates want? 

In this webinar, Bec McKeown will explore the cyber skills gap from both perspectives – as well as talking more broadly about the issues around generating and retaining talent and what the future cybersecurity workforce might look like.

Addressing the Cyber Skills Gap

• How to Get Perfect Cybersecurity Jobs to Come to You
• Standing Out as an Ideal Candidate for Your Dream Jobs
• Optimizing Your Online Presence and Wielding Social Media Like a Ninja
• Demonstrating Expertise, Influence, and Job Fit Before Your First Interview
• Technology and Automation to Always Keep You Top of Mind

APIs are ripe and juicy targets for cybercriminals, and loaded with attack traffic that is invisible unless you have effective API security. APIs now consume as much as 60% of all internet bandwidth, but many of them have weak security architecture, which opens the door to data breaches, ransomware, malware, DDoS attacks, and other cyber threats.

Enterprises commonly don’t know how many APIs they have or which ones are dormant. Their APIs are like black boxes, leaving enterprises with a problem: they can’t protect what they can’t see.

Join this webinar to learn how cybercriminals are exploiting APIs, why the lack of visibility into API traffic is a serious problem for enterprises, and what you and your team should do now to mitigate risk. Presented by industry researcher and analyst Richard Stiennon, and API security expert Rob Dickenson, founder of Resurface Labs.

The Latest Trends in API Security: Learn How to Stay Ahead of Attackers

Quantum risk is the threat of capable quantum computers upending cryptographic methods, such as RSA or elliptical curve algorithms, widely used today for securing information flows through communication networks. A sufficiently capable quantum adversary would be able to decrypt sensitive data in short order disrupting the trust in the digital systems that increasingly undergird our society.

Join us to learn: 
What is quantum risk and when will it impact my organization?
How does encrypted data provide a false sense of security?
How to protect against a “Harvest Now, Decrypt Later (HNDL) attack 
How threat actors can use quantum computer to decrypt your data
 
Buckle up as we start your journey into quantum risk and understanding the coming storm.

Quantum Risk Is Here Now. Are You Ready?

Life as an Asian & Pacific Islander (API) Hacker

Abstract: 
The presenter has pivoted to a career in cybersecurity and would like to share the following: how to pivot and begin a career in cyber, how to get started as an analyst, and how to continue progressing in one's learning once you've started. The talk will close with a review of one of the analytic frameworks for security intelligence paired with an analysis of some intel gleaned (that can be shared) since the speaker has started her role as a cyber threat intel analyst.

When attackers see a way in, they take it.

If you want to stay ahead of attackers, it's time to make the shift from a focus on threat intelligence to risk intelligence.

Today’s security leaders are squeezed between increased risks and attacks, expanding attack surfaces, and decreasing resources, which has them streamlining defense strategies and investments towards what matters most and what exposures are critical. 

Join us for a lively discussion on the current security leadership shift of focus from threat intelligence to risk intelligence. Security leaders will share their journey to the sweet spot: that balance between visibility, priority and value that helps focus their security practices towards confident protection (vs whack-a-mole). Areas covered will include: 
-> Balancing protections inside and outside the network
-> Various ways of prioritizing risk and what doesn’t work
-> Mapping potential paths into and out of your network
-> Merging attack surface management, vulnerability and threat information to identify real risk
