As the Internet of Things (IoT) adds more and more devices to the digital fold every day, organizations of all sizes are recognizing the IoT's potential to improve business processes and, ultimately, accelerate growth.

Meanwhile, the number and variety of IoT solutions has expanded exponentially, creating real challenges. Chief among them: the urgent need for a secure IoT model for performing common tasks such as sensing, processing, storing information, and communicating. But developing such a model involves overcoming numerous hurdles.

Of course, there are multiple ways of looking at the IoT. For instance, the system view divides the IoT into blocks, such as connected things, gateways, network services, and cloud services, while the business view consists of platform, connectivity, business model, and applications. But one common thread connects all these views: security is paramount

IoT applications and devices is the next wave of technology, but security is a big concern. This webinar will explain the convergence of IoT and Blockchain technology.

Global ransomware attacks like WannaCry already move too quickly for humans to keep up, and even more advanced attacks are on the horizon. Cyber security is quickly becoming an arms race — machines fighting machines on the battleground of corporate networks. Algorithms against algorithms.

Artificial intelligence-based cyber defense can not only detect threats as they emerge but also autonomously respond to attacks in real time. As the shortage of trained cyber analysts worsens, the future of security seems to be automatic. But are humans ready to accept the actions machines would take to neutralize threats?

Darktrace recently ran tests across enterprises of all sizes in a variety of industries and has subsequently deployed AI-autonomous response in over one hundred organizations. In this presentation, we will discuss our lessons learned and explore several use-cases in which AI-based ‘Autonomous Response’ technology augmented human security teams.

This session will cover:
AI approaches and algorithms for detecting and responding to threats
How human teams adopt (or resist) automated defenses
The concepts of ‘human confirmation’ mode and ‘active defense’
Real-world examples of autonomous response in action

The South West Regional Cyber Crime Unit are involved in fighting cyber crime along with other national and international law enforcement agencies.

As such they see certain traits, methodologies and vulnerabilities over and over again. Lisa Forte, the Cyber Protect Officer for the Unit, will be explaining how businesses should adapt their thinking to "see what the hackers see" to better defend themselves against the threat she sees every day.

Lisa will also be talking about the importance of planning and war gaming out cyber attack scenarios. The businesses that have a plan are the businesses that survive to tell the tale. Lisa will be using real life cases that the Cyber Crime Unit have dealt with to highlight how quickly things can go wrong as well as providing some simple steps businesses can apply to reduce their vulnerability.

Speaker bio:

Lisa Forte is the Cyber Protection Officer for the South West Police Cyber Crime Unit. Her role involves helping businesses of all shapes and sizes defend against the ever growing cyber threat. Prior to working in the Cyber Crime Unit Lisa worked in intelligence for Counter Terrorism agencies in the UK.

Join this interactive webinar presentation with Bart Parys, Threat Intelligence Analyst at PwC to learn more about:
- The history of ransomware
- How it came to be, how it works and its purpose
- How you can protect yourself and your organisation from this threat.

This presentation will focus not only on technology, but also the human factor in ransomware protection.

About the Presenter
Bart is a lead researcher in PwC's cyber threat intelligence team, responsible for tracking cyber threat actors, their latest toolsets and methodologies. He has particular familiarity with ransomware, crimeware and any other malware and malware analysis in general.

- Protecting Data in the Age of Ransomware -

2017 was a bumper year for Ransomware; with WannaCry & notPetya grabbing headlines around the world and instilling fear in the hearts of security professionals around the globe.

With GDPR regulations on the horizon and potentially huge fines for badly protected and breached data, security professionals need to improve their defensive stature and ensure that their organisation's data is fully protected from end to end.

This roundtable discussion will discuss how to best protect your data so if it falls into the wrong hands, you won't end up on the front of the worlds' papers!

Topics for discussion:

- Why ransomware should still be top of your list of concerns in 2018

- Methods to protect your organisation's sensitive data

- Steps to take if your organisation does suffer a damaging breach

There are many challenges for data privacy legislation within a boundary-less cloud computing and World Wide Web environment. Despite its importance, there is limited research around data privacy law gaps and alignment, and the legal side of the security ecosystem seems to constantly be playing catch-up.

Cloud as the enabler of Internet of Things (IoT) and data analytics, the incorporation of cloud computing is critical for the successful implementation of these leading-edge technologies. Countries and organizations moving towards Industry 4.0 are highly dependent on cloud computing, as it is the basis for this revolutionary transition. However, complications and confusion arising from regulations (or lack thereof) surrounding cloud usage hinder cloud adoption.

During this webcast, we will discuss some of the findings from the CSA “State of Cloud Adoption in Asia Pacific (APAC) 2017” report and examine the availability and affordability of cloud computing in the APAC region.

Healthcare industry would be one of the major adopters of IoT. What are the security challenges of healthcare industry? How does IoT change the security equation in healthcare?

IT and ICS networks are as different as Mars is from Venus.

This session will give the audience insight into the differences between IT environments and ICS environments, both from an operational and technical perspective.

We will offer some ideas for how these critical networks should be monitored and secured.

"Prepare, Respond, Assess" … "Prevent, Detect, Respond" … Security professionals are awash in a myriad of buzzwords triads and theoretical frameworks.

Let's look at a practical model that has tangible meaning for practitioners, based on the Attack Lifecycle, and encompassing modern security capabilities to drive the outcome of not suffering any business impact resulting from a breach.

We are excited to bring you an updated version of our hugely popular webinar, "Petya, notPetya or Goldeneye - The Lies, the Truth and What's Coming Next". Traditional ransomware, for the want of a better word, is boring and truthfully a fairly opportunistic way to make money. Guess what, criminal gangs don't believe in opportunistic attacks that may make them money. They want a certain assurance of success and importantly, they want big bucks.

Modern ransomware is going to be able to deliver this and more to anyone who can pay top dollar.

Join global CISO and cybersecurity expert, Amar Singh, as he shares his insights and experience on the murky world of cyber crime and ransomware and how you can be better prepared to manage this growing threat.
