The Importance of NDR Detection-in-Depth

Detection engineering has evolved into an art, contributing to the success rates of endpoint and network detection and response tooling capabilities. Used to effectively counter the increasing complexity of today’s cyber threat actors, high-fidelity detections can help an organization discover threats earlier, neutralizing them before further damage can occur.

Industry Trends and the Importance of Unified Identity Security

Enterprise attack surfaces continue to evolve through cloud-based infrastructure, the proliferation of connected devices, and reliance on third-party solutions. New vulnerabilities are emerging every day from security gaps in the software supply chain to use of AI and cybercriminals are being proactive in exploiting them. Comprehensive Identity Security is a critical element to containing these new risks but maintaining best practices for a robust IAM strategy using multiple security tools has never been more challenging. This session will address how to reduce human error, avoid gaps and overlaps of your different IAM tools, and bring your security strategy in-line with the challenges of today and tomorrow's cyber threats.

Slaying the many headed hydra of data privacy and protection

With data traveling the world through borderless networks data privacy and protection laws have never been as important as they are today. Over 120 global jurisdictions now have data privacy and protection laws. California to China are implementing legislation that mirrors Europe’s GDPR, while the EU has turned its attention to a new EU Data Act as well as regulating the use of AI. Where once organizations were always ahead of regulators, now they struggle to keep up with compliance requirements across multiple jurisdictions. In this session, we will discuss the current state of compliance regulations, what’s coming next and how you can stay ahead.
