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.

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.

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.

Secure Browser or Browser Isolation 101

Ensuring users have access to only the resources they need, aka least privilege is great. But have you considered granting users only needed access?
 
This talk will introduce the concept of granting ‘Just-in-Time Access’. Securing an endpoint is more than patching and vulnerability management. Granting access to who, when and what also secures an endpoint. Only when a user needs to connect to a system, can access be granted. Ports such as SSH do not need to be open for the world to connect and probe. Database credentials do not need to last forever.
 
This approach limits the damage that can be caused by an account -- privileged or otherwise -- by reducing the amount of time an attacker has to gain access to the account, as well as the time they have to move from a compromised account before losing access.
 
The short explanation for Just-in-Time Access is providing short-term access in real time. It is a relatively new term in the industry and is another way to practice the least privileged best practice.
 
Key Takeaways:
• The benefits to Just-in-Time access for security and operations
o Improved visibility
o Minimize damage from compromised accounts
o Operational efficiency
• How SSH can be replaced with AWS SSM sessions
o Direct SSH replacement
o SSH reverse proxy
• How Just in Time Access for database credentials can help 
o Example: Hashicorp Vault
o Example: Akeyless
• Resources for learning more

Introduction to Just-in-Time Access with SSH and Database Credentials

The zero trust concept has been around for over a dozen years. For a long time it was just an aspiration for companies, but over the past few years it has become a reality. According to a number of surveys, a majority of organizations are working on zero trust projects.  While zero trust is primarily regarded as a network security framework, the tenets of zero trust are applicable to all elements of the cyber security stack.  This presentation will discuss why and how zero trust can be implemented at the device level.  Attending the webinar will provide you with:

o A deep understanding of the components of zero trust;
o How a zero trust mindset fosters the development of a zero trust architecture;
o The added value of including endpoints into this security framework;
o The knowledge required to advocate for the incorporation of a zero trust architecture throughout the security stack.

The Zero Trust Framework Applies to Endpoints Too

Security teams were once able to reliably understand the users, assets, data and applications they needed to protect. Today, current operating models have put workforces and workloads in motion, forcing security architects to rethink and rearchitect modern security strategies. 
 
As adversaries leverage sophisticated attacks that transverse both endpoints and cloud workloads, security teams require more sophisticated controls capable of working together to prevent, detect and respond to advanced threats within a highly dynamic attack surface. This research-led session will focus on how teams are responding, the end-user security controls at play, and the strategies shown to be most effective.
