The Cyber Threat Landscape: Get Ready for 2023

As the methods and practices used to attack digital assets become more refined, the security tools to combat the threats must evolve, shifting from reactive to proactive methods. This change means security teams must learn about and assess a slew of acronyms, including endpoint detection and response (EDR), network detection and response (NDR), managed detection and response (MDR) and extended detection. and response (XDR). They also must consider new methods for addressing and preventing alert fatigue, such as using AI or cloud-based services.

In this panel, experts discuss the types of endpoint detection and response available and how to tease out which is best for your organization.

Join us to learn:
--Why EDR alone is not enough
--How to inventory your endpoints and their protection needs
--How to evaluate MDR options including MEDR, MNDR and MXDR
--The difference between hybrid XDR and native XDR
--Operational benefits of XDR
--How SIEM and SOAR compare with XDR

Unpacking Endpoint Detection and Response

Cyberattacks against healthcare jumped 42% in 2020 and another 35% in 2021. 

Successful cyberattacks disrupt healthcare operations, delay access to clinical services, and lead to significant economic loss. Stolen patient records can be used to commit fraud and identity theft, disrupting patients’ personal lives. 

Medical information is an attractive target because it has high economic value on the black market.

--Multi-cloud management and network security analytics platforms
--Cloud security posture management (CSPM) tools that can identify misconfigurations and risks
--Tools for cloud compliance monitoring

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

Data and resource accessibility has come a long way. From private networks to enabling connectivity across the internet to outsourcing them in the cloud. One thing that hasn’t changed is the need to track who is using our resources and viewing our data. The concept of identity has remained one of the cornerstones of security. The ability to identify and control access to cloud-hosted offerings has increased the need for tight security measures that are only effective if we understand “who, what and where”.

In this session we’ll 
• Outline typical cloud-hosted capabilities;
• Identify their user groups and roles;
• Look at identity components that are applicable to cloud services; and
• Introduce the concept of outsourcing Identity Management as a Service (IDaaS).

Identity as the Foundation for Access

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

Cyberattackers are not showing any signs of slowing down -- in fact, cyberattacks are worsening. Several factors are responsible for that with some being directly linked to the global pandemic – thanks, COVID! Infosec teams must change their security practices to address the challenges of today and the future. In this conversation among experts, you will gain insights to help you keep your organization secure in an evolving threat landscape.
