Current Trends in Cyberspace

Ann Johnson, Corporate Vice President Security, Compliance & Identity Business Development

The Cyber Threat Landscape continuously evolves as attacks become more sophisticated and frequent. In 2022, there has been a surge in destructive malware, a revival of hacktivism, and increased targeting of critical infrastructure including supply chain, the energy sector and SCADA systems. Join Ann Johnson, renowned cybersecurity expert and thought leader, to learn about the use of cyber-attacks in the Russia/Ukraine conflict, vulnerabilities affecting open source, the current cyber threat landscape and critical trends happening throughout the world.

13:00 – 13:45 - Innovation Through Security

Based on what you learned about the threat landscape, how does a modern security have to look like to address these threats and in parallel enable and even drive business innovation? Where does Zero Trust fit and what is the role of a modern Security Operating Center?

14:00 – 14:45 - Introduction to Verifiable Credentials

This session explains how we are joining hands with a diverse community to build an open, trustworthy, interoperable, and standards-based Decentralized Identity (DID) solution for individuals and organizations.

15:00 – 15:45 - How cloud permission risks can impact your organization

Nowadays, where multi-cloud scenarios are constantly rising in the market, securing Identities has never been so critical. Lack of visibility can lead to a higher surface attack and exposes companies to very complex and dangerous situations.
A Cloud Infrastructure Entitlement Management (CIEM) solution can provide comprehensive visibility into permissions assigned to all identities – like over-privileged workload and user identities, actions, and resources across multi-cloud infrastructures in Azure, AWS and GCP. It detects, automatically right-sizes, and continuously monitors unused and excessive permissions.

16:00 – 16:45 - A day in the life of a SOC analyst

This session covers a day in the life of a SOC analyst, including how a SOC team triages alerts, incidents, and the many challenges that arise during the process. The process is compared and contrasted in two scenarios: the first with disparate tools, and the second, with Microsoft 365 Defender.

17:00 – 17:45 - Using External Attack Surface Management (EASM) and Threat Intelligence (TI) to drive a proactive security strategy

In this session we are addressing why is a proactive security approach is required, how a Zero Trust architecture aligns with EASM and TI and what key problems can be solved by leveraging these technologies.
