CAUDIT Showcase: Enabling Modern & Secure Identity Solutions for Education

Every team building a web or mobile app faces the same dilemma with every new piece of functionality: build in-house or use out-of-the-box services to make the job easier and faster. And, more often than not, it starts with the fundamental choice of how to provide for authenticated user access.

“Our developers can handle customer identity.” It’s a login box. How hard could it be?

But customer identity and access management is so much more than just the login box. As businesses grow and add features, maintaining a robust homegrown solution is a major drain on resources. Developer hours are a precious resource, and time spent on DIY identity, security and privacy compliance is time taken away from core business innovation.

New Year, New Identity

Everyone knows the fundamental impact that the consumer and SaaS apps explosion has made in how we live and work. It doesn’t matter if you're in the public sector or selling pizzas — for every industry of every size, digital business is just business now.  And underpinning the ability to deliver secure, convenient, and delightful digital experiences is your customers’ digital identity.

The future of the internet will be based on trusted digital relationships as consumers and companies adopt the concept that ‘trust is a two-way street.’  Today’s ubiquitous login boxes, with their user ID and password fields, will be replaced with user-centric systems that favour convenience (without sacrificing security or privacy) and that are built on trust.

Nicholas Tan and Jim Katsos will discuss:
     -  What can companies do to improve customer experience and avoid friction for customers signing up?
     -  How can leaders maximise time and effort building and maintaining multiple in-house identity services?
     -  How can companies develop their applications and move them to a modern architecture?

Okta Insights: Building a world where Identity belongs to you

Every team building a web or mobile app faces the same dilemma when adding new functionality: Should we build it in-house or use out-of-the-box services? And, more often than not, authenticated user access sparks the debate.

For those that opt to build Customer Identity solutions in house, the logic looks like this: Our developers can handle customer identity. It’s a login box. How hard could it be?

But Customer Identity is so much more than just the login box. As businesses grow and add features, maintaining a homegrown solution can be a major drain on resources. Developer time spent on DIY identity, security, and privacy compliance is time taken away from core business innovation.

In this webinar, we will discuss how dev teams can:
Lower the total cost of ownership (TCO) of application development
Reduce the risk of a security and compliance breach
Keep developers motivated and improve engineering efficiency

Build vs. Buy: Is Managing Customer Identity Slowing Your time to Market?

Finding the balance between security and your customer’s digital experience

An average company uses a variety of solutions to help customers tap into its resources safely and appropriately. You might have some tools that allow your consumers to sign in to your digital tools, others that track what users do while they're on your website, and a third set that records the purchases your customers make in-person and online.

A customer identity and access management system, or CIAM, allows you to harness all of the data you have about your customers in one safe, secure spot. 
 
Join this webinar with Jim Katsos, Senior Manager, Solutions Engineering from Okta, to hear the capabilities of a typical CIAM product:

Registration: By registering with your CIAM system, customers can access your website, your apps, your database, and more.

Ease of return: A CIAM system allows for single sign-on (SSO), so a consumer can head almost anywhere with one set of credentials. 

Ongoing conversations: Each time a user does something within your ecosystem, your CIAM solution tracks that. With enough data, you can tailor your marketing content for that person, pushing them into your purchase funnel

EspreSSO Series: What is CIAM?

The State of CyberSecurity 2022

As network environments get more complex (e.g., work from home users, BYOD and IoT devices, workloads migrated to public clouds), relying solely upon SIEM and End Point Detection and Response (EDR) solutions is not enough for effective cybersecurity.

This session will explore challenges these solutions face and the advantages you gain with advanced Network Detection and Response (NDR):
 
• Gain packet level visibility across your entire network environment (including public cloud)

• Fill the gaps in visibility left by EDR solutions

• Easily integrate into and complement an existing cybersecurity stack, improving an organization’s overall cybersecurity posture

We will introduce NETSCOUT’s advanced NDR solution, Omnis Cyber Intelligence, and demonstrate how it can improve incident response.

Overcome the Challenges of EDR with Advanced NDR

This session provides practical advice to establish cybersecurity metrics, Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and Key Risk Indicators (KRIs). We begin with an explanation of the differences between them and why each are needed. Examples of how to design metrics, KPIs and KRIs are provided. Areas of focus include cybersecurity measurements for all organizations, for processes & functions and in alignment with a control framework. The end game is to measure if processes and controls are functioning as designed.

We also walk through tips for communicating new metrics and go-to-green updates for metrics in red or yellow status. The session includes 22 metrics and seven resources for many more. All of this saves time and can assist with enhancing your program.

Cybersecurity Metrics, KPIs and KRIs

IT and security teams across industries are supporting increasingly distributed workforces and a growing number of device options. Meanwhile, identity-based attacks are the top threat to organizations today, with a Verizon report from 2021 finding that 45% of organizations have suffered a breach due to identity-related threats. Staying ahead of these risks is critical, but since traditional approaches to identity security are often fragmented, complex, and lack agility, this is no easy feat.

By adopting an identity-first approach to security, organizations can elevate their security posture and reduce friction as they adopt hybrid and fully remote working models.

In this 45 minute discussion, ESG Senior Analyst Jack Poller is joined by Ryan Terry, Senior Solutions Product Marketing Manager at Okta, to discuss the role of identity in the modern security stack and explore tips and best practices for teams looking to bolster security and drive productivity across a distributed workforce. 

Topics for discussion include: 
- How to think about adopting an identity-first approach to security
- Balancing security with usability: How an identity-first mindset can mitigate risk while empowering distributed workforces
- Understanding Zero Trust: Why organizations are adopting the approach and how to decide if it’s right for your organization
- And more...

Bolstering Security in the Era of Remote Work

Over the past two years, virtual work has exploded and become the new normal for organizations, schools, and government. But with this new normal has come new dangers for staying safe and secure. 

CyberVista's George Monsalvatge wants to ensure users stay safe when connecting to networks from a variety of locations. In this presentation, he'll cover:
- Checking network connections.
- Signs of compromise.
- How to stop breaches.

How to Stay Safe While Working Virtually

Traditional threat intel is broken. We’re trained to conduct threat intel analysis based on what the industry has given us: wordy threat intel reports, long lists of indicators of compromise with little context, and TTPs that are difficult to take action on. 

Cyber deception, however, gives contextualized rich intelligence on attacker activity. Advanced deception environments, tailored to your attack surface, offer the next generation of threat intelligence collection and analysis. Deception environments are exceptionally effective because they generate known “bad” data. No one should be messing with them. The data they collect is clear and unequivocal. See how they offer clear signals in all the noise.

Start Gathering Your Own Threat Intelligence

Access to independent, current, globally sourced cyber threat intelligence at no charge.
 
We anticipate that the current conflict will lead to a growing number of cyberthreats. Threat actors will be trying to exploit the ongoing crisis for their own ends. To confront this potential wave of cyberattacks, businesses worldwide need to have access to trusted and timely threat intelligence.

We will run you through a demo of the Threat Intelligence Portal, to help you understand how this solution can benefit you and your organisation.

Threat Intelligence in action

Email remains the #1 attack vector, yet many businesses remain dismally unprepared for a successful attack. In this webinar, Michael Posey, Channel Presales Engineer at Vade, will examine the latest techniques hackers are using to bypass email filters and the tools and solutions for detecting and responding with precision.

The Email Menace: Understanding and Responding to the #1 Threat to Your Business

While the threat landscape continues to evolve at a rapid pace, organizations typically overlook (or poorly perform) the most foundational aspect of building a strong defensive posture -- the human element. Whether it is misconfiguring a system, clicking on a malicious link, or failing to detect or respond to an anomalous event, most breaches are successful because of human error or inattention. 

Tune into this webinar to learn:
- The key areas where humans create weaknesses.
- Review some common tricks that allow attackers in.
- Changing the mindset of your organization to be more security aware.
- Where to begin along with several takeaways.

It's Not the Silicon, it's the Carbon -- Those Darn Humans

Security vulnerabilities discovered in applications are almost always rooted in security flaws in source code. Here, weaknesses may be logical errors, missing validation, insufficient logging, poor secrets management, missing user permissions checks, unsafe string concatenation, misconfigurations, and much more. 

In this session, you'll learn the importance of incorporating secure code review in the software development lifecycle. While automated scans are helpful and powerful tools, they're no replacement for code review by human experts.

Secure Code Review: Catching Vulnerabilities at the Source

Heraclitus, a Greek philosopher, is quoted as saying "change is the only constant in life." It is no surprise this also applies to the information security world we are a part of. 

The threat landscape is constantly evolving as are the industry and regulatory requirements organizations must adhere to. How then are we to maintain a security strategy that accounts for these ever-changing factors? 

In this live session, we will discuss the key components of a sound security strategy and how to identify and address the changing threats, requirements, and other factors impacting your strategy.

Building Your Security Strategy To Manage Change

What you’ll learn:
Outlining the various solutions in the cybersecurity market
Today’s top security challenges
The differences between Product (XDR) and Service (MDR)
How to select the right solution for your organization
An overview of Secureworks ManagedXDR
Answers to questions that our speakers received during the live webinar

EDR. XDR. MDR. If you’re looking at the cybersecurity market today, there are a lot of acronyms floating around – leading to a lot of confusion.

How do you filter through the alphabet soup and find the solution that solves your unique security challenges? Please join Secureworks® and Frost & Sullivan for a discussion that will clear the confusion in the market and help CISOs understand what to consider in discovering the right solution based on their organization’s needs!

EDR, XDR, MDR: Filtering Out the Alphabet Soup of Cybersecurity

Effective cyber defense requires time-consuming analysis and a level of data aggregation and correlation that is at best an art, and at worst cost prohibitive. Meanwhile, attackers remain agile and inventive, rapidly changing their methods with minimal costs (to them).  Automation brings with it the promise of leveling the playing field, giving more time back to defenders and keeping us equally agile. Unfortunately, it is far more common that automation in cybersecurity expands already monolithic tool sets, extends vendor lock-in, and increases our support costs.  

This talk will outline a pragmatic approach to automation in cyber defense that increases efficiency without breaking your budget. Attendees will learn how to identify candidate tasks and workflows ripe for automation, apply a repeatable approach to introducing automation, and avoid common pitfalls in building a more automated cyber defense.

A Pragmatic Approach to Automating Your Defenses

Are you confident that your Data Protection strategy is effective? With cloud apps, mobility, and state-sponsored threats on the rise, your data is now in danger more than ever. Securing distributed data has become a top challenge in today's organizations, and most security approaches fail to approach the problem holistically. Therefore it’s time to take a step back and re-evaluate your security model.

5 Critical Steps to Secure Cloud Apps and Data

With the post-pandemic work environment taking shape, CISOs must now come to terms with permanently remote and hybrid workforces, the decline of VPNs and perimeter-based security technologies and other inalterable changes. At this “point of no return,” security leaders require an updated roadmap to effectively manage new and improved cyber threats and a user base stretched out across locations doing work with third party and non-sanctioned applications. Attackers are growing sneakier and more sophisticated in penetrating the less defined barriers of the new workforce. CISOs should rethink old strategy and risk models in order to secure their companies in this destabilized post-pandemic world.

Tune into this panel discussion including top experts in the cybersecurity sphere and discover how CISOs and other security leaders can guide their companies into a safer future. Some of the key discussion points will include:

- Top threats predicted to strike in 2023 and how security leaders can prepare.
- How to phase out legacy security technologies that may no longer be effective in this post-pandemic work world.
- The biggest challenges brought forth by hybrid and remote workforces and how to address them. 
- Rethinking and re-organizing your organization’s risk model.

CISO Security Tips to Manage the “End” of COVID-19

How to defend against inevitable security breaches

Fallen victim to a data breach yet? If not, your organisation is one of the lucky ones - for now. Cyber attackers are using ever more sophisticated attempts to execute attacks on a daily basis. Realistically, it's unlikely that an organisation can swerve an attack without robust cyber security measures already in place to prevent, detect and mitigate cyber threats. 

Hear from Akamai's Director of Security Technology and Strategy, Richard Meeus and:
- Understand the common attacks in the cyber threat landscape - from DDoS, to phishing, MFA and microsegmentation.
- Discover cyber security models and strategies to protect your organisation should it fall victim to an attack.
- Learn how you can provide your users with risk-free access to applications and services.

Have You Been Breached Yet? Are You Sure?

In today’s rapidly changing world, it’s very easy to lurch from issue to issue without stopping to pause and think strategically about where the issues are coming from and how you can prevent the next one from being a career-defining incident. 

In this talk, Quentyn will take a light-hearted view of eight issues he sees frequently today; how they have developed, and how to avoid them keeping you up at night.

8 Things That Keep CISOs Up At Night (You Won't Believe Number 4!)

“Those that fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it” —Winston Churchill. 

If the age of Covid has taught us anything, it’s that we need to be nimble and embrace change. But what breach lessons can we learn to help us navigate the future? 

Join BCyber’s Co-Founder & CEO Karen Stephens as she unpacks key breach themes and the lessons we can learn to help us prepare for the future. This is the chance to learn from the experiences of others rather than having to learn from your own breach!

Staying Ahead of the Breach

As engineering teams move faster and faster, we’ve seen application security “shift left” - with testing done earlier and earlier in the development lifecycle.  But the way teams test hasn’t changed - we’re still in a land of false positives, vetting applications against known vulnerabilities, and bracing ourselves for emergency patching when the next zero day hits.

By thinking like a hacker when testing applications - you can automatically find exploitable vulnerabilities and fix them while your code is still in development -- giving you stronger security while also increasing velocity

In this talk, we’ll discuss: 
The benefits (and limitations) of current approaches to application security
Balancing security and development velocity - how to build win/win scenarios
Setting realistic targets for application security programs based on known risks
Adopting a hacking mindset to help developers increase velocity and security both 
Using techniques like fuzzing and symbolic execution to ‘hack’ your applications in your own development pipeline

Think like a Hacker: How to Get ahead of Zero Days.

Recent cybersecurity incidents continue to show that public sector entities from local school districts to federal agencies are not immune to cyber threats. These range from ransomware attacks to data breaches involving sensitive student and staff data. 

Tune into this webinar that will examine trends, highlight examples, and share best practices for steps to take before, during, and after a cyber incident with a focus on public agencies and officials.

Public Sector Entities: Vulnerable and Less Prepared Cyber Targets

The evidence is in the news: threat actors are constantly on the hunt for weakly secured applications to exploit. Does your business have a target on its back? What can you do now to avoid becoming tomorrow’s data breach headline?

This webinar examines how cybercriminals are hacking applications and the need for effective application security. Inside, learn:

• How threat actors are exploiting unsecured software
• How we make exploitation too easy for the adversaries
• How a Protection Blueprint can change the tide
• And more

How threat actors hack your applications

Cyber attacks are not random acts that affect only a few. They are calculated ambushes that will impact you at some point -- whether you're prepared or not.

It's Not Cyber Crime, It's Cyber Warfare

Geopolitical instability and cybersecurity are unavoidably intertwined. Organizations of all types can be at higher risk even if they’re not connected to a conflict. Cyberattacks are a weapon sometimes wielded even against nation-states not directly involved in a conflict. Going into 2023 Russia’s war in Ukraine will bring it with cyberthreats. Other nations too, including North Korea, Russia, China and Iran, are likely to raise organizational leaders’ concerns about security.

This panel will look at the current and near-future prospects for geopolitical conflict, including
• The role of cybercriminals in conflicts between nations, such as the Conti and Stormous ransomware groups’ support for Russia in the current Ukrainian conflict; 
• How nation-states weaponize cyber-attack skills to increase their power in the world;
• Where CISOs, CEOs, and other organizational leaders should focus security investments to respond to threats issuing from global conflict.
• What tools exist for companies to keep themselves from becoming “casualities” in an international conflict.

Geopolitical Instability and Its Impact on Cybersecurity

Could your organisation truly survive a data breach and emerge unscathed? 

If the answer is no, or maybe, your cyber security strategy needs a rethink. The importance of preventing and protecting your organisation against a cyber attack is now a fundamental ‘must’, not simply an option. If your organisation was attacked, how would the attacker be detected and moreover, what response plan is currently in place and how could impacts be minimised?

In this fireside discussion, ESG Analyst John Grady is joined by Richard Meeus, Akamai’s EMEA Director of Security Technology and Strategy to explore how to bullet-proof your data for 2023. 

Join them to discuss: 
-  Why active prevention is now a security 'must-have' instead of a 'nice-to-have'
-  The risk organisations will face in 2023
-  How to minimise the impact of a breach
-  The state of ransomware in 2023 
-  And much more!

Get Ahead of the Game: Preparing for 2023’s Inevitable Cyber Security Breach

What if you could predict, and thus prevent, most security incidents in your organization? While we know 82% of attacks originate from human fallibility, effective risk management requires pinpointing the riskiest users. Fortunately, recent research has revealed the 7% of the workforce responsible for the majority of incidents. 

This presentation offers security professionals a new way to think about measuring user risk. Attendees will come away with:
• An understanding of how user risk can be quantified with data from security tools;
• Examples from leading security teams who’ve improved their organization’s cyber defense;
• An approach to the different stages of user-risk management, from feedback to tailored controls;
• Methods to mitigate workforce risk by applying risk-appropriate interventions; 
• Ways to use feedback to build trust and transparency and risk-based controls to enhance security protection;
• and more!

Master Security Kryptonite: How To Proactively Pinpoint and Mitigate User Risk

In today’s cybersecurity landscape, you can never let your guard down. Imagine you come into work to find your servers have been infected with ransomware.  Where do you go from here?   

By leveraging machine learning and true artificial intelligence, you can gain peace of mind knowing you have around-the-clock coverage to prevent cyberthreats and stop bad actors in their tracks. 

Join Jonathan Jackson – Director Sales Engineering, from the BlackBerry Cybersecurity team in APAC to learn: 

- The basic steps you can adopt now to prevent being exposed by threat actors. 
- How you can protect your organisation from threats lurking in the shadows 24x7x365. 
- It’s time to outsmart and outlast modern cyber threats.

Threat Actors Never Sleep ....Neither Can Your Security

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.

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?

7 Dimensions of Cybersecurity

Technology plays an important role in our day-to-day life. Whether it is working from home, managing our work schedules, or tracking personal routines and daily activities, we are majorly dependent on technology. With this reliance comes the biggest challenge of securing our information and preventing the risk of opening the doors to intrepid hackers.

In twelve short months, Zero Trust has gone from buzzword to the default security paradigm. The percentage of Asia Pacific companies with a defined Zero Trust initiative underway has increased dramatically, up almost 20% in 12 months. 83% of businesses now say Identity is important to their Zero Trust security strategy, and we’re seeing an interesting shift in the prioritisation of security over customer experience in the APAC region. 

According to Okta’s latest State of Zero Trust report, almost all APAC companies surveyed will have a Zero Trust strategy in plan or in play by the end of 2022. Many of these organisations have moved beyond the preliminary phases of implementation such as MFA, SSO and connected used directories. 

Join us as we invite guest security experts [name] from AWS and [name] from Crowdstrike to unpack the findings from this year’s report, and reveal what this means for the future Zero Trust adoption in APAC. 

What’s driving the rapid adoption of Zero Trust?
Why is the balance tipping in favour of Security over CX? 
Why should you prioritise Identity as the foundation of your Zero Trust strategy?   
How to accelerate your Zero Trust journey past the traditional and emerging phases?
