Build a Multi-cloud Strategy that Supports Governance and Compliance

Our cyber enemies are sophisticated and strategic with clear objectives and lots of resources. To counter their attacks, we need a pragmatic approach to threat and risk analysis to feed our cyber security ecosystem and focus on protecting our most important assets. This session aims to answer these questions:
•         How can we make cyber security decisions based on threats and risks if we’re not risk experts?
•         How can we determine who wants to access our information assets and why?
•         How do we discover what our valuable information assets are, and where they are located?
•         How do we prioritise our defences, ensuring that our resources are focused to the best effect?

Pragmatic Risk-Based Cyber Security

Join WiCyS Strategic Partner, AWS will discuss misconfiguration in the cloud, its patterns, threats, and risk to an organization/business. Understanding the shared responsibility model and how we can protect our organizations. We will be going through a use-case exercise and attendees will learn how we can implement the shared model.

Mis-Configuration in the Cloud

Digital transformation and the evolution of identity in the workplace -- spurred by decentralization, cloud adoption and remote work -- have exposed the fact that old methods of identity and access management have outgrown traditional security protections, posing major risks. Adaptable and agile security architectures with a spotlight on identity are a necessity to keep employees and their organizations safe.

In this panel, security experts will explore digital identity trends that bolster cloud security, as well as cybersecurity innovations that focus largely on identity, and help them understand the options.

Join us to learn about:

--Open identity standards and interoperability
--Identity as a service
--Cloud infrastructure entitlement management (CIEM)
--Zero trust models
--Cloud access security brokers (CASBs)

Identity Management Is Essential to Cloud Security

The core tenet of a zero trust strategy is least-privilege access. Yet, organizations continue to rely on user and machine identities that are susceptible to compromise, abuse and misuse, and theft. Risk is compounded by over-permissive, static access rights that provide little to no visibility into who and what is using access and how. Vaguer is how identities should be monitored and protected.

Availability of modern, cloud-managed identity services is widespread. However, organizations have been slow to pivot their security programs from traditional endpoint, network, and SecOps to an approach that focuses on identity orchestration and experiences, which is dynamic and distributed. Where there are no perimeters, a multitude of identity verification services and managed identity services exist. This research-led session will focus on how teams are responding, the identity security controls at play, and the strategies shown to be most effective.

Securing the Identity Perimeter with Defense in Depth

With the huge expansion on the attack surface of an organization and the dynamic growth in the realm of Cybersecurity, employees are tempted to choose the latest and greatest product in the market to make life easier for them. While busy individuals think they are finding a solution to their problem, not assessing the associated security risks can cause more problems than it solves! What vulnerabilities are associated with this new tool? Who should have access to the data? Who should own the application? It is quite common for products from vendors to become compromised.

In this presentation, WiCyS strategic partner, Workday, will talk about how Enterprise Security establishes the relationship and collaborates with various security teams before a technology is approved.
