Abstract

Organizations of all sizes are migrating to Office 365. Office 365 presents Microsoft Office applications and productivity services for purchase as a cloud service. So, what is the Office 365 hype all about? What are the compelling arguments for leveraging Office 365 and what are the benefits and risks of doing so? Join this session and participate in a dialog on Office 365. If you are considering Office 365, have recently migrated, or consider yourself an early adopter, we want to hear from you. SynerComm will facilitate this interactive discussion sharing our experiences and listening to yours.

• Note: Information gathered during this session will feed into a comprehensive dive into Office 365 which will be scheduled for the SynerComm Fall 2017 IT Summit as well as input in SynerComm's popular "Live Hacking of Evil Crop – Office 365 edition".

Suggestion of discussion topics:

• Deployment and migration considerations
  1. IT Infrastructure Readiness
  2. WAN/Internet Connectivity Readiness
  3. User and Organization Readiness
• Securing your deployment (Who secures what, when and how?)
  1. Identity & Access Management options
  2. Key security controls Microsoft provides
  3. Top recommended controls you should employ
• Continuous validation (Still secure? How do you know?)
  1. User behavior
  2. Performance monitoring
  3. Security incident & event monitoring

In this presentation, John Kindervag, creator of the revolutionary Zero Trust Model of Cybersecurity, will discuss the concept of Zero Trust and explain how it can not only transform network security but function as a business enabler. Zero Trust is revolutionizing network security architecture because it is data-centric and designed to stop data breaches. Additionally, Zero Trust adds a layer of agility to modern networks that is impossible to do in traditional network designs. These 21st century networks have been adopted by government entities and large enterprises around the world.

Abstract

Today's world of IT is highly dynamic in nature. We have all heard the term "Agile", but it is difficult to grasp the scope of it and what it means to our overall integration and security. With "Shadow IT", the Cloud, IOT, and workloads moving all over in your datacenter, your toolsets and staff are stretched to the limit. You have 26 different management systems, and you keep hearing of this mythical SDN that's going to fix everything. Not to mention the sea of data you have to wade through every day to audit everything and ensure that you are really "secure".

Join Juniper to learn how to begin integrating your current systems, having them work together, ensuring security, and creating a highly-agile compute environment to support your business needs.

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

Abstract

Cloud services have emerged as the preferred attack vector of some of the most dangerous and innovative cloud malware exploits over the past six months. Why? Because many organizations don't inspect their cloud traffic for malware, and the same cloud service functionality that dramatically increases productivity (sync, share, etc.) also provides malicious actors with the perfect medium for faster delivery of malware payloads to more targets.

Are you getting the most of your security solution today? Is there more you can be doing to prevent a breach, data exfiltration or ransomware from hitting your organization. With new and integrated security solutions being developed all the time, we will look at the roles and responsibilities of many of the malware protection features, why decrypting SSL should be a serious consideration and why authentication/user-id should be used in your security policy. We will also look at why you should be looking at threat information sharing in your security solutions.

As Northwestern Mutual Life's Karl Gouverneur elegantly stated at Synercomm's IT Summit - Fall 2016, "the success and or failure of IOT is predicated on Secure Access." With the next five-years of estimated growth being quantified between $11 and $19 trillion by Gartner, CNBC, Poneomon and the Wall Street Journal, the Pulse "Secure Access Suite" is a right-time, right place technology for premiere partner Synercomm and all of its valued partners, customers and cyber-end-user communities.

In this fascinating and evolving presentation, Pulse Secure Global Marketing Lead Phil Montgomery joins Ninja Architect and 25-Year Air Force cybersecurity expert Mike Riemer (and Synercomm alumnus) for this overview that defines Pulse's RSA "cut-through-the-clutter" Secure Access Suite solution and how its innovative Unified Access Code is providing enterprise organizations and SMB security leaders best-in-science security, monitoring and downstream performance segmentation and enhancements unseen before. The Pulse Secure Profiler is also making inroads as a BIA tool from the front-edge of the network down to the firewall.
