Securing Open-Source Dependencies at Enterprise Scale

The current data security and privacy protection landscape is awash with tools, acronyms, buzzwords that promise to make data breaches and privacy incidents a thing of the past. Yet hotel chains, healthcare providers, banks, department stores and even governments constantly fall victim to data breaches, ransomware or nation-state attacks. 

The plain truth is that tools are only as good as the people that use them and the processes that go with it. Two thousand years ago, the Roman empire had better military tools than the nations they conquered. Yet through time, the Romans fell to the barbarians and are merely remembered through their ruins. Likewise, companies with the latest and most buzzworthy technology implemented still manage to fall victim to attacks. 

In this presentation, industry thought leader Ralph Villanueva will tap into over 15 years’ experience of data security and privacy protection to show why ultimately, the people behind the tools and the processes they use matter more in securing your organization’s data. 

Key Takeaways:
 - How to best deploy tools in the most cost-effective way to optimize benefits.
 - How to best deploy tools to mitigate data security risks from internal and external threats. 
 - The importance of a balanced and holistic approach to data security that equally considers people, processes and technology.

Deploy Automated AWS Defenses for Threat Prevention

As cloud supply chain attacks escalate in sophistication, traditional SBOMs alone prove insufficient for comprehensive security. While SBOMs provide valuable component inventories, they lack runtime verification capabilities—creating a critical blind spot that malicious actors increasingly exploit. This gap between static analysis and runtime behavior represents one of the most significant vulnerabilities in modern cloud environments.

The "Bill of Behavior" (BoB) approach addresses this challenge by providing vendor-supplied profiles of expected runtime behaviors. Generated using eBPF technology, BoBs codify legitimate syscalls, file access patterns and network communications. This enables immediate anomaly detection without custom rule creation, allowing organizations to verify software integrity throughout the supply chain and during execution, dramatically reducing the attack surface while simplifying security operations.

Join Dr. Constanze Roedig, Key Researcher at SBA-Research and Founder of Fusioncore.ai, to discover how this emerging standard complements existing SBOM frameworks to create verifiable trust in your cloud ecosystem.

Key Takeaways:
- Understand how Software Bills of Behavior (SBoBs) create verifiable trust between vendors and clients
- Learn practical implementation strategies using existing OCI distribution standards
- Discover how BoBs significantly reduce attack surfaces across both runtime and supply chain vectors

• Evaluate current and future cloud AI risks within your security framework

Considerations: Securing the Cloud And In Specific AI

As organizations accelerate cloud adoption, sophisticated security technologies often create a false sense of protection while the most significant threats emerge from within. Human behaviour continues to be the weakest link in cloud security, not due to malicious intent, but through everyday mistakes that inadvertently expose critical systems.

When they create friction, security measures designed to protect can inadvertently increase risk as users will find shortcuts to achieve their legitimate objectives. This session explores the psychology behind user decision-making and reveals how threat actors exploit human nature to bypass cloud defenses, turning legitimate business processes into attack vectors.

Join Simon Ratcliffe, independent management & technology consultant, to discover practical strategies for human-centered cloud security.

Key Takeaways:

- Identify psychological triggers that make users vulnerable to cloud-based attacks 
- Recognize how security friction drives risky user behaviors and workarounds

- Develop indicators to detect insider threats before they escalate 
- Build security awareness programs that create lasting behavioral change

Securing the Human Element: Why People Remain Cloud Security's Top Vulnerability in 2025

Insider threats are one of the most challenging security risks in multicloud environments, where authorized users can exploit fragmented access controls and limited visibility across platforms. When organizations lack comprehensive oversight of user activities, data flows and privilege escalation paths, the risk posed by human error and malicious insiders is much greater.



Multicloud architectures amplify insider threat risks through inconsistent identity management, scattered audit trails, and complex permission structures that create blind spots for security teams. Strategic threat modeling designed around insider risks enables organizations to map user access patterns, identify privilege abuse scenarios, and implement behavioral monitoring across all cloud platforms before incidents occur.



Join Sandeep Tripathi, IT Solutions Designer at Daimler Truck AG, to discover systematic approaches for detecting and preventing insider threats in complex multicloud environments.



Key Takeaways: 

- Identify insider risk scenarios across cloud platforms using threat modelling frameworks

- Create governance frameworks for managing privileged access in multicloud environments

Mitigate Insider Threats in Multicloud Through Strategic Modeling

Every minute your cloud infrastructure grows, it creates new entry points for potential attacks. As organizations rush to embrace cloud innovations, they're unknowingly building digital labyrinths where traditional security measures fall short.

Cloud security threats are often perceived as purely technical challenges, but the human factor remains one of the most significant and underestimated risks. Misconfigurations, weak passwords, phishing attacks, and inadequate training open doors to breaches even in sophisticated environments. Employees inadvertently expose sensitive data through social engineering, while administrators overlook crucial updates. Insider threats pose significant risks when cloud systems are accessible from anywhere.

Join Jyotirmayee Pradeep Kumar, Vice President of Cloud DevOps at a leading global bank, to explore human factors in cloud security threats.

Cloud Security Operations teams have a multitude of responsibilities, including vulnerability management, threat management, security and infrastructure configuration and management, as well as incident response. Clearly, they need modern tools to help them manage and make sense of the volume of data and work across their complex environments. However, the fractured and disconnect enterprise security ecosystem makes this difficult or impossible in most environments.

Zero Trust security brings with it the possibility of applying a holistic and unified policy model across these heterogeneous environments. Zero Trust has become mainstream, even being mandated by the recent US Presidential executive statement ordering such an approach for US government agencies. So, how does Zero Trust apply to cloud SecOps environments?

In this fireside chat, two industry experts share their thoughts and insights on this topic. Attendees will learn:

• What is Zero Trust, and how does it apply to Cloud SecOps?
• Why automation is critical to a successful Zero Trust program, and even more important for Cloud SecOps
• Why Zero Trust policies are so important in cloud environments
• Ways in which workload metadata and user attributes are used in Zero Trust policies
• How organizations can implement “security as code” with a Zero Trust approach

Zero Trust Security Automation: Supercharging Your Dilithium Crystals

Threats have changed over the years and so have the targets. It’s not just your perimeter that is at risk, it’s your customers, your supply chain, your employees and your business reputation that could be easily tarnished with just one breach. In this session, we’ll cover how and why you should consider an integrated approach to IT security, with an ecosystem of vendors that work together for the greater good. One solution will not solve all the threats, a layered approach is better but deep integration with the sharing of threat data at speed is a modern necessity.

In the session we will cover:

• How to look at an integrated approach to IT security. 
• Why a layered approach is good but integrated is better.
• Integrations and Mimecast 1+1=3

Why an integrated approach to security is no longer a choice

Cloud adoption has witnessed exponential growth over the past few years. It provides many advantages for both individuals and organizations. 

However, at the same time, many new cyber security risks have arisen due to this rapid growth of cloud adoption. These new security risks can be mitigated by adhering to cloud adoption good practices. One of those steps is monitoring the cloud entities once the workloads have been deployed. Unfortunately, this is perhaps the most overlooked aspect of cloud security, thus enabling Threat Actors to launch Cyber Attacks against deployed workloads.  

In this presentation we will discuss:

• Importance of monitoring your cloud entities
• How cloud monitoring helps with threat detection
• Steps to keep cloud entities safe

Detect Cloud Threats via Monitoring

John Christly, VP and CISO at Core Business Solutions joins BrightTalk to discuss some best practices as it relates to protecting your systems and data in the cloud.

Cloud Security in 2022: Challenges and Solutions

Secure access to cloud is broken. By now, you must already know that the traditional VPNs are the weakest links when it comes to secure access into your mission critical infrastructure. This is due to two fundamental flaws. 

VPN aka virtual private network, as it suggests, provides a virtual network extension over a secure link. That means, if the endpoint that is connecting over the VPN, is compromised, an attacker can gain secure access your infrastructure.

Once insider your network, the intruder now has the license to roam within the subnet/VLAN and, unless you have an error free setup, perhaps the intruder has the license to roam across the enterprise.
 
Time and again, we have witnessed VPNs being exploited by the adversaries and, if you want to stay protected, please ensure that you get off the traditional VPN train first.

The modern-day alternative to VPNs is called Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA). However, the ZTNA solutions lack end to end segmentation. That means, if the attacker somehow gains access to one of your hosts over ZTNA, the attacker will then be able to roam laterally withing your organization. This is the predominant way for Ransomware to spread and compromise most of your assets.

What you need is a combination of modern Secure Access technology coupled with an agentless micro-segmentation solution and a potent incident response tool.
 
This will be the focus of our session. In this session, you’d learn how to
• Provision agentless segmentation at scale across your organization for all your assets – TV, Toaster, Laptops, VMs, Servers, and even containers
• Gain end-to-end visibility and control for all traffic
• Secure high value assets distributed across your organization
• Deploy a Ransomware Kill Switch™ that prevents ransomware spread

The correct way to “Cloud-Access”

As organizations move to the cloud to reach new heights of productivity and to better serve customers, their security infrastructure is under pressure to reduce risk. Companies face the challenge of securing an ever-changing attack surface across multiple cloud-native applications components including APIs, containers, VMs, serverless functions and open source software. As development teams grow and achieve faster release cycles, companies must scale security with the volume of releases while teams are vastly outnumbered. 

Learn more about key trends and best practices to face the current challenges and manage cloud-security risk in this keynote session.

Scaling Security to Manage Cloud-Native Risk

Complete Cloud Security

According to Statista, a global market and consumer data provider, between 2021 and 2023, the percentage of organizations adopting a multi-cloud strategy will grow for midsize companies from 76% to 84%, and for large enterprises from 90% to 94%.

Cloud providers offer many security monitoring and threat detection options, but what if you subscribe to more than one? Adopting security monitoring tools from each provider can increase complexity and bring significant overhead to security operations teams. 

For years, security information and Event Management (SIEM) solutions have been collecting and consolidating data from multiple sources for centralized threat detection. Still, multi-cloud brings a new scenario with different data sources, higher volumes, and unknown threats. How does SIEM have to evolve to adapt to this new reality?

Join Augusto Barros, VP of Solutions and Cybersecurity evangelist, and Brian Robertson, Senior Product Marketing Manager at Securonix, to learn about:

· Why is it hard to perform security monitoring in a multi-cloud scenario?
· What are the limitations of traditional SIEMs to support multi-cloud needs?
· What do you need to look for in a new approach and architecture that enables the SIEM to be the right solution to detect threats in a multi-cloud world?
 
Speakers:
Augusto Barros was most recently the Research VP in the Gartner for Technical Professionals (GTP) Security and Risk Management group. He has over 20 years of experience in the IT security industry as an analyst and a security architect and officer for large enterprises.

Brian Robertson has over 20 years of experience helping organizations solve critical application delivery, network, cloud, and security challenges working with industry leaders who not only are looking at the challenges of today but are looking at the horizon for the challenges of tomorrow.

SIEM: Threat Detection and Response for your Multi-cloud World

Security remains a leading barrier to cloud adoption. It stands to reason that all major cloud providers are scrambling to offer native vulnerability scanning and security services, often for free, to help their customers gain confidence in their cloud risk posture.

But the vulnerabilities are piling up, attack surfaces are expanding, and cloud security teams are struggling to maintain SLAs. A passive approach isn't going to protect businesses in the cloud, and traditional approaches to cyber security don’t work for cloud security.

Attend this session to learn how to pave the path to cloud with cyber security built for cloud, not for traditional information technology. And learn how to get the most out of an untapped and growing portfolio of native cloud security tools, like the new Amazon Inspector, to help your teams proactively measure, prioritize and mitigate cloud risk.

Cyber Security Needs a New Path to Cloud Risk Mitigation

Forcepoint ONE is the answer to the problem you don’t know you have – a converged cloud security platform that brings together CASB, SWG and ZTNA services. So what is the problem? In a word, complexity – Complexity caused by access to hundreds, sometimes thousands of clouds apps. Complexity caused by your people being everywhere and using multiple devices. Complexity caused by disparate security products, creating gaps and overburdening IT.

In this webinar, VP of SSE platforms Shane Moore, is joined by Consulting Solutions Engineer Nick d’Amato, to take a problem first approach; breaking down the key security challenges your business faces and exploring the key areas of risk created by your people as they simply go about getting their work done.

By demoing key risky activities, they will show how to:
