So, it is vital that we all should familiarize ourselves with cyberattacks and how to the protection strategies. In this talk, I will cover the fundamental strategies to protect yourself against cybercrime. Also, I will cover the career opportunities in Cyber Security for all age groups and how can we add diversity in cyber security. 

Join us as we discuss:
Strategies to protect yourself from cybercrime before, during, and after a cyber attack 
Career opportunities in Cyber Security 
Diversity in Cyber Security.

Cyber Attack Protection Strategies

On the eve of Halloween, I’m interviewing Juanita Koilpillai to understand if SDP (software defined perimeter) is all it promises to be or just more marketing hype. Juanita is the CEO of Waverley Labs and brings a unique perspective – she’s actually implementing SDP for several federal agencies.
In a recent survey by Deloitte, more than a third of organizations are planning to adopt zero trust. Many anticipate the benefits, but adoption is difficult. Can SDP enable adoption of zero trust? How are buyers tricked into thinking Zero trust is a product? What benefits will you experience after implementing SDP as part of an inclusive zero trust strategy?
Join this BrightTALK Session to hear how SDP is implemented and how marketing can trick you into missing the real treat that SDP has to offer.

SDP- Trick or Treat?

As Covid 19 continues to increase all over the world, an increase in cybercrime is highly enhanced. The vulnerability related work from home and the capability for increased financial benefit, cybercriminals are building their activities and develop more advanced operations. In this talk, I will cover several scenarios of Cyber attack impact due to Covid 19.

Cybercrime Trends and Threats in COVID-19

One on one interview with Allison Nixon of Unit 221B. Ms. Nixon researched the July 2020 Twitter Hack that resulted in the takeover of Vice President Biden's, President Obama's, and Bill Gates' (among others) Twitter accounts.

How The Twitter Hack Heralds a New Era of Account Takeover

No one ever expects it to happen to them. But with ransomware and cybercrime on the rise, it’s more likely than ever to discover that ransomware has locked down your system and cybercriminals are holding your data hostage.

+ Team Event: who to involve and when

Ransomware Negotiation Do’s and Don’ts with an Expert Negotiator

In this talk, my focus is on the application of data security in our data today's life. Attendees get to learn the security perspective of data and how they can pursue a career in security while continuing their passion for data security. 

Additionally, we will discuss the different perspectives of data security solutions such as Cloud data security, Web Browser Security, eMail Security, Payments Security, Enterprise Data Protection, Hardware security module, Key management, etc.

Application of Data Security in Daily Life

Infrastructure today is distributed and mobile, yet security architecture and technologies have not evolved and remain static and disjointed. 

This session will walk through best practices of securing Hybrid Infrastructure (Distributed & Mobile Environments), along with practical use-cases to secure multi-platform/multi-owner applications that span Cloud, SaaS, IoT/OT, Data Centers, Third-Parties and Remote Users.   

In order to understand the security and connectivity challenges with hybrid infrastructure, we will review the challenges with current security tools and approaches and provide insight into a newer, more refined model that can secure infrastructure that is becoming even more distributed, more mobile, and more diversified.

Work-From-Anywhere is Easy, But How Do You Secure-From-Anywhere?

If the overnight expansion of the remote workforce has taught us one lesson, it is that improving data protection for cloud apps has become the primary challenge facing today’s security practitioners. 

In fact, one might easily conclude that - based on the massive strategic benefits appreciated by increased cloud adoption and remote access - in the very near future many organizations may seek to offload responsibility for just about every manner of security, save user and data-centric protection. So what does this mean for security architects, management and operational staff as we move quickly toward that “cloud everything” future? 

Clearly, organizations will require stronger methods for protecting cloud data, along with user and device access when traditional network, hardware and app stack defenses have become largely outmoded. Further, as more users log into the cloud to collaborate via both managed and unmanaged devices, extended cloud security capabilities will need to account for key considerations including:

  -   How to protect against inappropriate data access and handling while enabling open shares across the huge range of sensitive company data?

  -   How to account for user and device security posture to thwart emerging threats that seek to exploit compromised accounts and endpoints?

  -   How to ensure proper enforcement and remediation when issues do arise, including the ability to encrypt or wipe information as it moves off the cloud?

In this best practices webinar, join us to discuss the hugely important challenge of addressing the confluence of cloud, user, data, and device security in the name of enabling the real-time collaboration required by today’s remote workforce. Along with the involved challenges and use cases, we’ll outline dedicated CASB solutions use cases and best practices that address this specific set of real-world challenges.

Reinventing Data Security for the Remote Workforce in A “Cloud First” World

Connected devices are everywhere. More than 83 million U.S. households have at least one smart device, according to a study by the Consumer Technology Association. In fact, U.S. households own an average of 11 Internet-connected devices, according to a study from Deloitte, including seven with screens to view content (e.g. smartphones, tablets, laptops, TVs). 

With so many devices on the home network, how is security keeping up? What is needed to make device security easier and faster?

Find out why attackers are targeting internet-connected devices, some common attack vectors, and what to do to reduce the risk of breach at the endpoint.

Join this panel of security experts to learn more about the security risks connected devices pose to your home and office, and what can be done about it:
- Connected devices - the gateway for attackers
- The likelihood that you or your company will be breached via connected devices 
- Steps to mitigate the risk of breach
- What is needed to close the gap in device security

Protecting Connected Devices from Cyber Threats

In this session, we will discuss a range of new emerging technologies for privacy and confidentiality in machine learning and data analytics. We will discuss how to put these technologies to work for databases and other data sources.

When we think about developing AI responsibly, there’s many different activities that we need to think about.

This session also discusses international standards and emerging privacy-enhanced computation techniques, secure multiparty computation, zero trust, cloud and trusted execution environments. We will discuss the “why, what, and how” of techniques for privacy preserving computing.

We will review how different industries are taking opportunity of these privacy preserving techniques. A retail company used secure multi-party computation to be able to respect user privacy and specific regulations and allow the retailer to gain insights while protecting the organization’s IP. Secure data-sharing is used by a healthcare organization to protect the privacy of individuals and they also store and search on encrypted medical data in cloud.

We will also review the benefits of secure data-sharing for financial institutions including a large bank that wanted to broaden access to its data lake without compromising data privacy but preserving the data’s analytical quality for machine learning purposes.
