Panel Session: Can Data Loss Prevention Get SaaSy?

Software plays an expanding and critical role in the success of future vehicles such as automobiles and trucks. Novel technologies that depend on the flexibility of software create new vulnerabilities and new ways to attack systems. This talk explores the expanding landscape of vulnerabilities that accompany the increasing reliance on software and then examines some key steps to help mitigate the increased risk: development of appropriate requirements from an analysis of risks, techniques that can be applied during development, and evaluation approaches for existing systems. The talk will conclude with a view of emerging approaches to further improve the delivery and sustainment of such critical software.

We are surrounded by 2-ton IoT devices on wheels. The auto industry has rapidly evolved in the last five years; vehicles now have phone apps for remote control, built-in WiFi hot spots, heads-up displays, lane correction systems, and other Advanced Driver Assistance Systems. These convenience and road safety features are in high demand, but they also introduce cybersecurity concerns.

Automakers are now software companies, and this talk will address some of the cybersecurity-related issues faced by the transportation industry, including some of the growing pains a “traditional” industry has when it starts to become internet connected to the outside world. Mr. Smith will share techniques currently used by hackers and show some of the security defenses being put into place. You will see the vulnerabilities of vehicles on the road today, as well as take a peek into the future of fully autonomous cars. And if your head isn’t spinning already, learn what it will mean to "own" a car in the future. Key topics will include:
•What makes car hacking so intriguing?
•Who are the adversaries in this space and what are they after?
•How self-driving cars can be used as a model for corporate infrastructure.
•How IoT can be locked down without locking out the customer.

With the proliferation of the Internet of Things (IoT) into every aspect of our society, cyber attacks on a massive scale are becoming a possibility, and in some cases, a reality. Attackers can take out city grids, hijack control systems and engage in cyber war remotely.

This panel of top cybersecurity experts will discuss how connected devices are affecting our critical infrastructure security, the IoT and cyber warfare, and what we need to do today to address the security challenges posed by IoT devices.

Speakers:
- Demetrios "Laz" Lazarikos, Three Time CISO, Founder of Blue Lava
- Mark Weatherford, Chief Cybersecurity Strategist at vArmour
- Robert M. Lee, CEO and Founder of Dragos, Inc.

Today we fight adversaries individually, not collectively. Companies are working in silos to defend their individual infrastructures. Security operators and defense teams do not have visibility into cyber security incident information from their peers, even though they may be seeing the same attack methods or adversaries. The lack of an effective exchange and collaboration between companies is the Achilles heel our enemies continue to exploit.

Come and join a discussion about a new cybersecurity model that maximizes the use of the network (much like the bad guys) and incentivizes the exchange of actionable threat incident data.

We'll look at recent critical infrastructure hacks such as Grizzly Steppe, WannaCry and CrashOverride and discuss how we can better protect ourselves for future attacks.

Would a hack on one Internet connected thermostat stop a nation? Maybe not, but imagine hundreds of connected devices being meddled with in order to cause havoc?

Join our IOT experts to discuss the real impact of an IOT device hack. Wieland Alge, GM EMEA at Barracuda Networks and Mark Harrison, Consultant at Pen Test Partners, will look into why cyber criminals are interested in hacking IOT devices and the true impact of such an attack to organisations. Join this webinar to learn:

• The true impact of an IOT hack
• Methods used by hackers
• Demos of IOT devices being hacked
• Major challenges in protecting smart cities
• How to mitigate these threats

We live in an IoT world. Connected devices now include TVs, refrigerators, security systems, phones, music players, smart assistants, DSL modems, cars, and even toothbrushes. Besides privacy and personal security concerns, these devices pose significant risk of cyber attacks. IoT devices have been used in devastating DDoS attacks that have paralyzed key Internet services, emergency services, and heating systems. In addition to run-of-the-mill hackers and hacktivists, they are the first line of attack in any low-to-medium scale cyber conflict between nation states.

Vulnerable IoT devices represent a direct threat to safety, life, property, business continuity, and general stability of the society.

This talk will discuss the security challenges surrounding IoT devices, and what is needed for a balanced framework that forces vendors to implement a reasonable level of best practice without causing them undue burden and risk.

The IoT explosion means billions of new, “smart” devices gathering petabytes of data from a host of environments, many new and unfamiliar to IT. How can security possibly keep up with it all? Recent events such as the Mirai botnet suggest we’re already behind the curve – and that the need is not just to defend against threats to IoT, but to protect against threats arising from compromised IoT. In this talk, we’ll explore:

- The primal forces pulling security in diametrically opposite directions (hint: “the cloud” isn’t everything)
- The reality of IoT endpoints (many are far more complex than you’d suspect)
- Breaking it down: Where is security making inroads? What are the areas to watch for innovation?
- The road ahead: How will the evolution of IoT security impact society?
