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.

Tools are Nothing: Why People and Process Matter More in Data Security and Privacy

Data security has entered a new era, one defined by AI-powered threats, expanding cloud ecosystems, and evolving global privacy regulations. 

This session presented by TD Bank's Pankul Chitrav explores the critical shifts reshaping how organisations must protect sensitive information in a boundaryless digital world. We will break down the top risks, the essential capabilities of modern security architectures, and the must-have tools for protecting data across endpoints, cloud platforms, and AI workflows. From zero trust to automated posture management and advanced data discovery, you’ll learn what’s required to stay ahead of adversaries and maintain compliance. Whether you’re modernising your security program or building one from the ground up, this talk equips you with the insights needed to create a future-ready data protection strategy for 2025 and beyond.

Future-Ready Data Protection: Securing Modern Data Ecosystems in an AI-Driven World

Cyberattacks are continuing at pace and we're regularly hearing of new data breaches. But who is responsible for ensuring the security of personal data?

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
- Explore immediate benefits of receiving vendor-supplied behavior profiles with software packages
- Discover how CNCF Kubescape allows anomaly detection out of the box

• 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
- Design user-centric security that reduces human error without compromising protection 
- 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

- Limit insider threat impact and lateral movement using zero-trust access controls.
- Develop incident response protocols for insider-driven security breaches
- 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.

Key Takeaways: 
- Human error as the leading cause of cloud security breaches

- Essential security awareness training and culture development 
- Zero Trust architecture implementation strategies

Managing Human Risk in Cloud Security Operations

AI technologies are simultaneously completely transforming business operations and creating new security vulnerabilities that cannot be addressed by technical safeguards alone. When implementing AI-driven solutions, human oversight is the biggest differentiator between secure innovation and catastrophic data breaches. As such, human intervention is both the biggest vulnerability and most significant defense in organizational security architectures.

To address this challenge, IT leaders can build a security champions program—a network of engaged employees who understand AI-specific threats and serve as frontline defenders. This group bridges the gap between security teams and other business units. They spread security awareness throughout the organization while maintaining operational efficiency.

Join Vincent Amanyi to discover proven strategies for empowering a team of security champions who can help safeguard your organization's AI initiatives and digital assets.

Key Takeaways:

- Learn to assess AI-related security risks across all business functions
- Design a people-centric security strategy that combines technical controls and human intelligence
- Establish and structure an effective Security Champions Committee with clear roles and responsibilities

Fortifying the Human Firewall: Cultivating Security Champions in Today's AI Landscape

In today's threat landscape, where the average data breach costs organizations $9 million, your employees represent both your greatest vulnerability and your strongest defense. As AI-powered threats become more sophisticated and remote work expands the attack surface, traditional security awareness approaches are failing to create lasting behavioral change. The human element remains implicated in over 80% of breaches, yet most training programs still focus on compliance checkboxes rather than cultivating security champions.

Effective security awareness requires a strategic approach that addresses psychological barriers, leverages behavioral science and creates sustainable security habits. By reimagining how we engage employees—from executive leadership to frontline staff—organizations can transform their security culture from a perceived burden into a competitive advantage that measurably reduces incident rates and response times.

Join Ralph Villanueva, with 15+ years leading enterprise security awareness programs, to discover proven methodologies that transform employee behavior.

Key takeaways:

- Implement psychological triggers that convert passive training participants into active security defenders

Strengthening Your Human Firewall: Closing Cognitive Security Gaps Before 2026

Both endpoint security and endpoint management are becoming more challenging, largely driven by an increasingly complex threat landscape and a greater number (and assortment) of both managed and unmanaged endpoint devices. This, combined with an overabundance of tools deployed to deal with these threats and devices, has created a false sense of security and the inability to process all the data being collected.

 To combat this, organizations are making efforts to integrate the teams, tools, and processes involved, and these efforts are having a positive impact on visibility and awareness. Similarly, organizations are eager to adopt new tools like Autonomous Endpoint Management to help them achieve their goals.

In this session from Endpoint Management and Security Gabe Knuth, you’ll learn both what research reveals about the challenges facing organizations, the risks associated with the status quo, and the path forward to improving overall endpoint management and security.

Top Threats to the Cloud for the Business

When it comes to securing cloud usage, misconfigurations can arise for many reasons and stem from a number of sources. One particularly well-traveled road for the origination of security issues is through application development. Specifically, situations where changes made during development lead to undermined security, the introduction of vulnerabilities, or other non-optimal security outcomes.  

Fortunately, by working together with development teams, security groups can help find and mitigate these types of issues.  

This discussion will explore how and why threats get introduced during the development cycle and cover strategies for how you can mitigate those issues when they do.

Application-induced cloud security issues (and how to overcome them)

Network security is primed for a transformation. Traditional approaches to threat and data protection are no longer effective in a cloud and mobile world. Users, data and apps have left the network, leaving traditional network security approaches in the dark. As data breaches and ransomware continue to rise, IT leaders are now being forced to evaluate new ways to help drive down risk.

Defining the future of Security Service Edge

70% of organizations have had a public cloud security event in the last 12 months— and we know that number continues to rise. That's because attackers are zeroing in on public cloud resource misconfigurations.  As more and more data and resources are migrated to cloud platforms like AWS, Azure, and Google, it's harder for IT pros to keep pace, much to the delight of attackers worldwide. Organizations are increasingly investing in cybersecurity services, most notably Managed Detection and Response (MDR), to help improve their threat detection and incident response capabilities 

When you’re up against malicious actors, the more expertise you can bring to bear the better. Join this webcast to learn how to effectively integrate managed detection and response into your proactive security strategy. We will also cover: 
- A common attack scenario and how it plays out from a defender's standpoint 
- Trends of attacks that are taking place in the cloud 
- Solutions your organization can leverage to obtain better visibility and detection

MDR: Delivering Superior Security Outcomes Through Cybersecurity as a Service

A Cloud-Native Application Protection Platform (CNAPP) is a new approach that simplifies cloud security by combining several capabilities in one platform.
