In today's connected world, software runs everything - from smart phones to banking applications, cars to home security systems, even refrigerators, garage doors and other every day devices are "connected." Software is everywhere – and unfortunately, it provides the largest attack surface for hackers.  We are a cybersecurity company leveraging our deep knowledge of software security to create relevant products and services.

In recent years the cybersecurity industry enjoyed high valuations, rapid growth, and the creation of many ‘unicorns.’ However, the industry has also had its fair share of overhyped expense/debt-laden companies. Cybersecurity investors have pumped the brakes with a global economic slowdown and generational inflation. Path-to-profitability has quickly become a paramount metric, once de-prioritized for growth, often despite massive losses.

This Ed TALKS to will feature diverse perspectives from a cybersecurity investment banker, entrepreneur/executive, and venture capitalist.  Attend to hear how today’s technology and investment trends are changing the way we operate in cybersecurity and get expert advice on:

• Challenges of running a VC/PE-backed cybersecurity company
• Valuation calibration and investment appetite
• Metrics to watch closely, stress, or de-emphasize
• ‘Red herrings’ cyber leaders need to avoid chasing

Ed TALKS: Cybersecurity M&A – True Tales From All Sides

Data security is always top-of-mind for cybersecurity executives; however, emerging technology and attack developments will pose new risk to the data we try to secure.

Come hear how 3 leaders approach dynamic threats of the 20's, including:

• Tech Temperature – Hot or cold? 
- Artificial Intelligence 
- 5G: too dense and fast for its own good? 
- Applied Crypto: Blockchain, NFTs, and de-centralized trust
- Quantum computing

• Intrinsic Dependencies
- Cloud: expansion or evaporation?
- Passwords, authentication, biometrics 

• Changing Attack Landscape

Ed TALKS: Keeping Secrets – The Future Threats to Data are Here

Join us as we dive deep into three common vulnerabilities found in the cloud:

* Improper identify & access management - It's harder than you think!
* Failure to use Multi-Factor Authentication - Credential stuffing is still a real problem
* Improper sensitive information storage - Data Security is *crucial*

Plus we'll give a live look at the real-world effects of these vulnerabilities using our cloud-focused cyber range.

Cloud Application Authentication and Access Control Vulnerabilities

Your team's first exposure to new threats should happen on OUR platform - not yours. With new CMD+CTRL Labs, your teams will build skills through hands-on exposure to modern threats. They'll learn to identify and mitigate vulnerabilities, gain new techniques to defend against attacks, and learn to write safer code - all on a single, easy-to-use training platform. 

Please join us to learn:

• Why first exposure is important to you
• How Labs transform new concepts into tangible skills
• How Labs help to modernize and up-skill your teams
• You'll also see a demonstration of two new lab types – Skill Labs and Learn Labs

CMD+CTRL Labs: A Bridge to Better, More Secure Software

While Threat Modeling is an incredibly useful process in determining the level of risk associated with an application, it can also be an intimidating process. In this webinar, Kevin will be performing a short threat model of a feature in one of our CMD+CTRL applications known as Shadowbank. This demonstration will guide new Threat Modeling practitioners into bypassing some of the difficulties Kevin experienced when creating threat models years ago. It will also give those new to the process an understanding of how Threat Modeling can be a beneficial addition to their SDLC.

We'll cover topics such as:
- Enumerating Assets, Roles, and Inputs
- Finding the Correct Scope of the Threat Model
- Enumerating Threats
- Quantifying Risk & Prioritizing Fixes

30-Minute Threat Model

The modern enterprise is highly dependent on the cloud and software-driven systems. To protect them, teams need relatable training that reflects the technologies they work with. Otherwise, they’ll tune it out.  

Recent Ponemon Institute research shows that realistic simulation training tied to a specific job function is the most effective way to prepare teams for the battles they’ll face. By utilizing hands-on training in a familiar environment, teams can enumerate security risks in a native context. 

Come learn the strategies of three security & technology leaders to up level skills of various  audiences, create engagement, and drive lasting behavior change.

How to Train IT Teams for Security

The new CMD+CTRL Base Camp training modernizes and up-skills the cybersecurity talent of your entire organization – not just those nearest to the code. Please Join Fred Pinkett, Sr Director of Product Management at Security Innovation for a sneak peek of CMD+CTRL Base Camp: A completely new learning system that blends courses, labs and cyber ranges into a single individualized streamlined learning experience.

Meet the New CMD+CTRL Base Camp: Training that Goes Beyond the Code

Modern application design and the continued adoption of DevOps expand the scope of automated security testing and push tools to the limit. Simultaneously, complex platforms like IoT and Blockchain require more specialized tools and skills.

With software applications being more assembled than coded, and cloud CI/CD accelerating release, it’s time to sunset some legacy tools and consider new ones.

Come hear how product and application security professionals plan to scale software securely in 2022.

• The traditionalists: SAST, DAST, IAST
• Replacement players: SCA, API & container security, etc.
• New Kids on the Block: IaC, cloud native, fuzz
• Limitations, pitfalls, and best practices

Ed TALKS: Scaling AppSec – Getting Tools to Perform

Historical approaches to IT security have been driven by primary colors – red teams attack, blue teams defend.  This leaves technical teams color blind as to how hackers exploit the very software they are tasked with building and protecting.    

Purple Teaming is a collaborative approach organizations use to improve their security posture during the attack exercise to capture immediate value and foster a real-world defensive approach.  This strengthens a team’s understanding of abuse cases so they can employ effective controls from requirements through deployment.

Attend this talk to learn how to embed an exploit mentality into technical teams, which results in a reduced attack surface, fewer security vulnerabilities, and accelerated feature release.

Steal the Attackers Playbook with Purple Teams

Got D&I on your mind? You should.

It’s a scientific fact that diverse teams make better decisions, operate more profitably, and are more innovative problem solvers. The cybersecurity talent shortage is a crisis, yet the diversity gap is stark with women and minorities, and we haven’t figured out how to cultivate this talented pool.

Find out how it’s done – from experts who have succeeded and have dedicated themselves to the cause.

Featuring fresh research from The Ponemon Institute, this panel will discuss the state of D&I in cybersecurity, including:

• Trends and other data that highlight disparity
• What roadblocks (still) exist and strategies to blast them out of the way
• Where and how to find untapped talent and how
• How globally recognized organizations have successfully built D&I programs

Hope you can join us as we band together to advance D&I in cybersecurity.
