Abstract

The hyper speed at which technology is moving today is causing disruption to ripple out like a pebble in a pond, affecting not only products and business models, but also disrupting the behaviors and our needs of customers. Keeping pace with our customer's digital expectations requires us to understand the key technology trends ushering us into a new hyper-digital world. The Hyper-digital age is fueled by three trends: Hyper-connectivity, Hyper-automation, and Hyper-adoption. In this session, Karl Gouverneur, Vice President and CTO at Northwestern Mutual, will clarify these trends and highlight examples of how each can not only disrupt our business, but also offer opportunity for differentiation in the marketplace. Karl will address the sea of technology start-up companies that pop up daily to rival market leaders and provide insight into the unbundling of giants for which we should all prepare!

Abstract

Technology is a continual state of flux, but the current state of transformation is different in that it will radically change the way in which we – individuals and businesses – work and make decisions. Sweeping changes resulting from the adoption and maturation of mobility, cloud computing, Big Data, automation, cognitive computing and the Internet of Things will reshape business operations, processes and priorities. Today, we think and talk about the changing technology, but not the results of that change. The 2112 Group's Larry Walsh looks beyond the changing technology to explore the downstream impact of IT transformation and what it means to IT businesses in terms of operations, management, security and outcomes.

Abstract

Enterprises are moving data to the Cloud, embracing the mobility of today's users and accelerating the use of encryption while attackers are shifting their focus from credit cards to PII and moving their sights from the data center to the employee. All of this has combined to render traditional corporate security models impotent.

CISO's today need to present comprehensive architectures and tools that allow businesses to grow, enable users to be agile and protected all while trusting no one, inspecting everything and sharing threat intel globally. We will explore this concept focusing on 0-Days and Behavioral Analysis.

Abstract

Wireless LANs have traditionally been managed as static environments, without any ability to respond to their environment or intelligently manage user traffic. Network designers formally needed to elect between cost and throughput, solely based on static device density. To solve this issue, Aerohive Networks is proud to introduce Software Defined LAN (SD-LAN) capable wireless and wired capability using Aerohive's HiveManager NG and SD-LAN capable, machine-learning, autonomous, and adaptive access points.

This presentation will demonstrate, using actual examples seen over the past 15 years, the best practices incident responders are using in the initial 72-hours of an incident response. While containing and recovering data may seem to be the right thing to do, it also may be the most counterproductive to removing threats from your environment. Incident responders, business leaders, governance managers, legal counsels, law enforcement, and policy makers must understand the questions to ask, expectations, processes, and procedures that need to happen in the first 72-hours in order for the organization to efficiently and effectively respond to an incident.

Abstract

With new technologies appearing daily, attackers have a constant stream of potential new tools, tactics and practices to use as offensive weapons. This constantly expanding attack surface forces defenders to assess each as well in an ever-escalating arms race. But this can cause an over-dependence on technology and an under-appreciation of the human nature and behavior of adversaries. The desire for waves of more machine-generated data to consume and assess is in fact boggling minds and breaking team and process effectiveness. As human defenders realize this, they shift strategies to proactive approaches, to focus on fundamentals that truly uncover meaningful threats, and force multipliers that dramatically accelerate threat investigation and disruption.

Abstract

Our networks have changed with a de-parameterization as data resides everywhere. To add to this complication is the fact that users are computing off network and there are 3rd parties always gaining access in. The worst part is that most networks can be hacked by using credentials that are readily available on the dark web. Centrify will address these concerns but more importantly lay out a framework of how to address this. With a proven identity methodology you can take a phased approach to getting the upper hand back. By simplifying process reducing the number of vendors involved in securing identity; risk and cost reductions become a reality.

Information flow today spans across a rapidly growing digital universe that includes our traditional private networks, data centers, virtualized environments and is now pushing out to new boundaries which include the public cloud and Internet of Things. Any changes in how information flows and/or how users access data has significant impact on the ability to perform monitoring and security analytics. This presentation will cover critical aspects of the challenges being faced, decisions that need to be made and clarify common misconceptions or misunderstandings which can severely impact data visibility and costs associated with monitoring and securing data in diversified environments.

Abstract

Information assurance is the practice of managing risks pertaining to information and data processing environments. Effectively managing risk requires a deep understanding of the weaknesses that leave assets vulnerable and the controls that protect them. Over time, organizations will be required to assess the maturity of their information security program. An effective information security program will include elements of leadership commitment and participation, well designed and communicated policies and standards, effective and meaningful controls, an engaged user population, evidence of continuous improvement, and risk and compliance management.
