Artificial Intelligence & Employee Security: Greasing the Wheels of Productivity
Traditional security and authentication methods are designed to put up stumbling blocks for your employees, challenging them at several points throughout their workday to identify themselves. To do this they must enter, remember, and frequently change passwords, and in the expanding world of two- or multi-factor authentication the enterprise seeks greater security at the further expense of productivity. But traditional passwords and other authentication methods can be compromised, so the impact to your user processes does not always deliver proportional security.
Artificial intelligence and biometrics can change the authentication game, supporting enhanced security by automatically identifying employee identity without impacting workflows and user processes. Join Ehab Samy, VP Product Management, to learn about applications of biometrics and Artificial Intelligence that smooth your employees’ path to completing any task at work.

Join Jessica Gulick, tech & cybersecurity growth hacker, as she shares the top lessons that have not only been learned, but have been put into practice by Katzcy’s growth-stage clients. We’ll talk about the importance of understanding buyer profiles, the techno-buzz trap, the right time for geek-speak, and how to build a narrative that positions your unique solution in the right box in the minds of buyers, industry analysts, and influencers alike.
Insider threats can wreck your network, your business, and your company's reputation. But stopping malicious or simply incompetent insiders from doing damage isn't just an exercise in analyzing where the damage came from. Insider Threats aren’t just malicious employees. They can run the gamut from incompetent to accidental to theft. Join Ryan Lai, EVP of Professional Services at Nisos, as he discusses the wide-ranging complexities of an insider threat investigation.
Troy Vennon, Director of Security Innovation, the Columbus Collaboratory
It’s been 20+ years since the US government first issued a directive mandating that critical infrastructure providers in the public and private sectors share information about cyber threats. This directive, PDD63, recognized that, in the face of increasing threats, organizations that band together to share information and coordinate responses stand a better chance of protecting themselves. Thus, the realm of threat intelligence sharing was created. Join Troy Vennon, Director of Security Innovation at Columbus Collaboratory, as he reviews the basics of sharing threat intelligence and how it can benefit an organization of any size in any industry.
Emily Wilson, VP of Research, and Dee Liebenstein, VP of Product Management, Terbium Labs
A thriving fraud economy exists in the criminal underground, on the Dark Web and beyond, that trades in compromised information. Even if it’s not your business’s information, it’s still your problem because stolen user credentials are used for large-scale phishing attacks, credential stuffing, and account takeover. Join two Terbium Labs VPs—Emily Wilson, VP of Research, and Dee Liebenstein, VP of Product Management—as they offer insights into how your organization should rethink data security as more information is exposed, and re-exposed, every day.
Jerry Caponera, VP of Products & Cyber Risk, Nehemiah Security
Join us for this webinar to explore how cyber risk models have evolved to more accurately predict financial outcomes through better alignment with frameworks and models like NIST and MITRE ATT&CK. Jerry Caponera, VP of Products and Cyber Risk at Nehemiah Security, will share insights from global cybersecurity leaders who have risen above cyber geek talk and successfully translated risk into business terms. He will cover managing risk by tracking associated potential financial losses; what’s behind the hype surrounding financial data risk assessment (FinDRA); how to calculate ROI for security and mitigation investments; and how to brief your Board on cyber risk in financial terms.

Behind professional exteriors, many employees struggle with personal and financial pressures and workplace stress. The implications of employee stress to your business extend well beyond human resource concerns. Join Tom Miller, CEO of ClearForce, for this webinar discussing how employee stress leads to inadvertent errors, financial risks, disengagement, harassment, and in extreme cases, insider threats and criminal activity in the workplace. Tom will discuss how to discover and understand employee behavioral cycles so that you can take action to improve workplace safety, the productivity of both your workers and your business, and defend against insider threats.
Scott Scheferman, Cylance Director of Global Services; Masataka Hashiguchi, Interfocus Sales Engineer
Join Interfocus and Cylance for this webinar outlining the workplace productivity gains that your business can realize through an integrated and unified platform delivering both IT asset management and endpoint security. Most IT teams today suffer from "alert fatigue" from the growing number of devices on their network, and spend on average 5-13 hours a week cleaning up compromised endpoints. Scott Scheferman from Cylance and Masataka Hashiguchi from Interfocus will demonstrate how automation and prevention is worth a pound of cure on your endpoints.
Small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) regularly struggle to get attention in a marketplace crowded with larger, noisier competitors, but this is certainly not the case when it comes to cyber attacks. As large enterprises continue to invest dollars and resources into their security programs, malicious actors have turned their attention to small, less protected companies. And for an SMB, the traditional approach to threat intelligence—knowing where the next attack is coming from before it hits—is simply too costly, too technical, and too complicated. Join Vince Crisler, CEO of Dark Cubed, for a discussion about what SMBs need: cost-effective solutions for threat intelligence that are automated, powered by machine learning, and provide insights through user-friendly dashboards that the business can understand.
Jessica Gulick, CEO Katzcy; Monica Ricci, Director Wicked6 Cyber Games; Mari Galloway, CEO Women’s Society of Cyberjutsu

Troy Vennon, Director of Security Innovation, the Columbus Collaboratory
Join us for this webinar presenting the benefits of networking with your industry peers to share intelligence about threats and vulnerabilities. In today's environment where the threats seem to intensify, it's critical to know who to trust. During this session, Troy Vennon, Director of Security Innovation at the Columbus Collaboratory, will outline the benefits of an Information Sharing and Analysis Organization (ISAO), explain how you can benefit from joining an ISAO even if you're already part of an ISAC, and provide an example of how collaboration around cyber threat data can enable your organization to efficiently identify and neutralize the most prolific and potentially harmful threats out there.
Brenden Bishop, Data Scientist, the Columbus Collaboratory
Join us for this webinar that will present an advanced data science approach to detecting anomalous behavior in complex systems like the typical corporate network that your IT Security team is trying to defend. Generalized anomaly detectors, without tuning for a specific use case, almost always result in high false alarm rates that lead to analyst alert fatigue and a detector which is effectively useless. In this session, Brenden Bishop, Data Scientist at the Columbus Collaboratory, will present an open source tool and best practices for building specific, repeatable, and scalable models for hunting your network’s anomalies. Through iteration and collaboration, defenders can hone in on interesting anomalies with increasing efficiency.
Hardik Modi, Senior Director, Threat Intelligence, NETSCOUT & Jessica Gulick, CEO, Katzcy & VP, Women's Society of Cyberjutsu
It’s hard to express the scale of today’s cyber threat landscape, let alone its global impact. We can tell you that there were nearly four million DDoS attacks around the world in the last six months, and that attack frequency grew by 39 percent. Or that the NETSCOUT ASERT team saw 20,000 unique samples per month from just one family of IoT malware. Or even that it can take only five days from the discovery of a new attack vector to the availability of tools for the script-kiddie designed to exploit that vulnerability.
These numbers, while startling, don’t fully convey the impact of that steady drumbeat of new threats. Cybercrime has entered the mainstream of our culture to an unprecedented extent, and it is here to stay.
Join this video interview live from Las Vegas during Black Hat to learn more about:
- The big trends in DDoS
- New attack vectors found in the past six months and what this means for device and software security
- What enterprises can do to protect themselves
