12:00 pm - 12:30 pm Security Engineering is My Life(cycle)

Everything has a security consideration whether we build it or buy it. In today's environment of buy first or build quickly, how do we make certain that data is protected? Developing a security engineering discipline that is applied at any lifecycle stage can address this. This talk will look at some practical use cases.
In this session:
•Balancing security and productivity
•Providing real-time feedback loops throughout the organization
•Cultivating a forward-thinking vision for risk management

12:30 pm - 1:00 pm Evolving Threats and Empowering Security through the Cloud

The cloud offers economic, competitive and collaborative benefits to financial services. But the sensitive and regulated data kept by financial services requires heightened security measure. In this session, discuss the challenges and benefits of moving to the cloud. Look at how the changing threat landscape creates risks to traditional security practices. Examine current security trends affecting financial services  and approaches to protecting sensitive data:
•              Prioritizing and overcoming challenges to the cloud
•              Embracing the cloud with full visibility while managing shadow IT
•              Identifying gaps and ensuring regulatory compliance through the cloud

1:00 pm - 2:00 pm Networking Lunch

2:05 pm - 2:35 pm Machine Learning is Here to Help, Not Replace Humans

Over the next few years, machine learning (ML) will be a regular security practice and will offset skills and staffing shortfalls. Today though, ML is better at addressing smaller, more specific problems. Technology leaders have to understand that humans and machines complement each other and work better together than alone, as ML can assist humans in addressing uncertainty by presenting relevant information.
In this session:
•Discuss the ways machine learning can assist teams and organizations
•How to make the right machine learning choices for your organization
•The future of machine learning

Masterclass

4:50 pm - 5:35 pm The Human Deception Problem: Understanding and Defending Against Social Engineering Attacks
The most successful method of cyber-attacks continues to be phishing. These attacks cost organizations millions of dollars each year and things are just getting worse. As these attacks intensify and become more refined, technology is failing to keep up and your users will continue to fall prey. To effectively defend yourself against this, you have to understand how the attacks work, including the psychological triggers and tricks the attackers are using. This session will explore the different levers that social engineers and scam artists pull to make your users more likely to do their bidding.

Join Erich Kron CISSP, Security Awareness Advocate at KnowBe4, as he provides fun and engaging examples of mental manipulation in everyday life: from the tactics used by common criminals, to sophisticated social engineering and online scams. Additionally, he'll look at how you can ethically use the very same levers when educating your users.

Key Takeaways:

•The Perception vs. Reality Dilemma
•Understanding the OODA (Observe, Orient, Decide, Act) Loop
•How social engineers and scam artists achieve their goals by subverting critical thinking steps
•How can you defend your organization and create your human firewall

4:50 pm - 5:35 pm Adversary Oriented Security
Sponsors:
SpecterOps
In modern environments, the corporate security program utilizes an increasingly complex inter-relationship of people, processes, and technology in detection and response operations.  However, incident response capabilities must be balanced against budgetary constraints and other requirements the security program must meet. How do you measure the effectiveness of your incident response program, and the investments your organization has made? What measure of confidence do you have in your organization’s ability to detect and respond to the worst of circumstances? These are not questions that can be answered by yet another technical solution, yet are critical in understanding how your organization is oriented against the adversary.

This discussion will include:
•Programs that can be utilized to measure the efficacy of the security and incident response technology, people and processes.
•Identifying deficiencies in enterprise adversary detection programs, and pursue continuous improvement in organization-wide detection capability.
•Methods to determining new investments to be made in incident response capabilities.

5:40 pm - 6:10 pm Converging Risk Management Across Multiple Disciplines to Address Recovery from Attacks

The parade of discussions regarding the Business Impact Analysis and Business Impact Assessment (collectively, the BIA) continue to play out across Business Continuity, Risk and Security industry events, discussion boards, articles, blogs, etc.  Discussion topics include streamlining, mechanizing and integrating the BIA with the Risk Assessment, and eliminating the BIA altogether as proposed by select new BCM and Security methodologies. This discussion will look at the necessary convergence and major expansion of the BIA across multiple risk disciplines supporting a fundamental business intelligence and requirements driven contribution to all of these risk domains, supporting Information Security, Data Privacy, Incident Management and Operational Risk (by example).
Importantly, the BIAs that are performed today by standalone BCM teams are increasingly becoming out of date and insufficient as business continuity, technology operations and the business are called upon to address recovery from cyber-attacks.

6:10 pm - 6:35 pm Digital Transformation: Data Diodes as Gateways to Protect, Detect, Respond and Recover
Sponsors:
OWL Cyber Defense
As financial institutions “open up” and digitally transform, an interlocked cybersecurity transformation plan is essential as the access to operations and data becomes more complex and must be secured. In this session, attendees can expect to learn what a data diode is and how data diodes help financial institutions conform to security frameworks. This includes protecting production applications and data, assisting in anomaly detection, and recovering from a ransomware, wiperware or other malware attack. Security analytics/SIEM, secure blockchain/cryptocurrency processing, and cyber recovery use cases will be reviewed.
