There's an old saying, "There's only two kinds of companies. Those who have been hacked, and those who know they've been hacked." In this session Niara will discuss the application of advanced machine learning to the automated detection of attacks that have bypassed an organization's perimeter defenses, and how to dramatically reduce the time and skill needed to investigate and respond to security events. We'll discuss how multi-dimensional analytics can be applied against data from both the network and security infrastructure to detect compromised and negligent users, malicious insiders, reduce the time for incident investigation and response, and speed threat hunting efforts by focusing security teams on the threats that matter.

In this session we will discuss what we thought we knew about DDoS attacks no longer has feet - it's time to revisit our assumptions about existing security perimeters, typical service provider cadence, CDN capabilities and the severe consequences of experiencing an attack:

• *What makes today's DDoS attacks more complex than ever before
• *How to ensure your service provider's traffic scrubbing capabilities are a match for your needs
• *Why DDoS vulnerability risk is more severe than you may have considered
• *How DDoS is used as a diversionary tactic during advanced threat campaigns

You can only protect what you can see. Yet gaining visibility into every endpoint is an increasingly difficult task given the proliferation of threats and the sensitive data being targeted. Join us for a journey through the Cyber Kill Chain to discuss how companies are solving pervasive information security challenges with 360° endpoint visibility. We'll dive into the world of hackers to show how attacks are constructed, showcase new techniques you can use to detect and respond to modern threats, and discuss the usage of 'forensic residue' to eliminate gaps in your InfoSec framework.

Abstract

With 2 Billion confirmed Username/Passwords stolen over the past 24 months, securing privilege accounts has never been more important. Centrify will outline how to immediately protect your company from this massive risk. Does outsourcing IT increase your risk of a data breach? Popular opinion says yes. Many of the recent high profile breaches involved third party access - including outsourced IT.

Traditional privileged identity management solutions require that organizations create and manage identities for outsourced IT administrators within their internal environment, and grant VPN access. The result is an expansion of potential attack points for hackers, disgruntled insiders and malware.

Tony Goulding will set the stage before delivering a live 20 minute demonstration where he steps into the shoes of a Web Server consultant at a fictitious outsourced IT company.

You will learn how to minimize your organizations attack surface, thwart in-progress attacks and govern privileged access, while lowering the costs of outsourcing IT.

Abstract

WLAN authentication has traditionally been handled by either 802.1x or by standard Preshared Keys (PSK) like we all use in our homes. RADIUS is very secure and powerful, but complicated and not all devices understand it - especially those of the IoT variety. PSKs are easy to setup, but not particularly secure, do not allow for granular policy control, and must be changed across all devices when one goes missing. To solve this issue, Aerohive Networks allows for "personal" pre-shared keys. Find out how this solution can be deployed and automated to meet the challenges that IoT authentication poses.

Abstract

In today's world of security breaches costing companies millions, understanding how incidents can occur gives insight into protecting the network and managing risk. With the number of incidents on the rise it's no longer an option to simply be content with mitigating a breach after the fact but must also detect any breaches of security before they can damage and also prevent further intrusions. The Engineers at Fortinet will walk you through the life cycle of advanced threats pointing out their common methods of avoiding detection. Additionally you'll be shown how a proper security framework gives you multiple options to detect and mitigate an attack before it has the opportunity to inflict damage; costing you time, money, and public confidence.

Abstract

Audits and vulnerability assessments alone do not provide a complete assessment of business risk. This talk will go in detail to help you determine what a quality pentest should look like. Whether it's SynerComm performing your next project or another organization, you deserve to know how to identify quality pentests. In this talk we will take a very transparent look into pentest methodology straight from experienced pentesters. We'll explain tests your next pentester should be performing, how they should communicate with your team, and most importantly, what makes up a quality report. (Due to the highly transparent view into SynerComm's methodologies and deliverables, we ask that no vendors or competitors attend)

Compliance audits are necessary, but do not need to be painful. Being prepared for an audit is so much more than the ability to show an auditor what they need to see. Being prepared for an audit is when an organization already knows the answers to the questions. Compliance readiness is the ongoing alignment of your business to a set of standards while along the way developing a business-as-usual atmosphere. This session will explore best practices to develop and execute an effective information systems compliance program.

What's PowerShell? Ask any blue-team (defensive security) member and they'll probably tell you it's just another task automation and configuration management tool pushed on them by Microsoft. But ask a red-team (pentester) member, and they'll probably offer to show you. Join SynerComm's Information Assurance Consultant, Sam Link, as he steps through exactly why PowerShell is gaining popularity with attackers, what you can do to defend against it, and what Microsoft is doing to address its abuse. This talk is bound to get offensive...
