Challenge the rules of security: Transform the threat surface to proactive control
With the dramatic increase in distributed workforces and the growing adoption of cloud applications, companies face unprecedented levels of IP, data, and identity sprawl beyond the enterprise firewall. Every endpoint is an entry into your business, cybercriminals have more ways to break in than ever before, and human error on the inside is a constant risk. Historically, endpoint security has been a zero-sum game - with the odds inevitably stacked against IT. But rather than protect devices, what if you could just control the security of them?
In this presentation, see how Chrome OS and Chrome Browser are secure by design - embedding security into every workflow to provide proactive protection for users, devices, applications, and data, wherever work happens. This is cloud-first security control in the hands of the modern businesses that will thrive moving forward.

The Elephant in the Room: Why Many Security Programs Fail
Anecdotally, we've seen that most organizations will either fail to prevent, detect, or evict a sophisticated, persistent attacker. This is often despite those organizations having smart teams and significant resourcing. In conversations with more than 50 clients, I've developed the theory that this happens because many security organizations spend a lot of time and money on things that don't efficiently reduce risks.
This discussion will:
- Identify common factors that can lead security programs to focus on activities without beneficial outcomes
- Highlight characteristics we've seen in security programs that can prevent or contain an incident
- Suggest specific actions that can lead an organization to better identify their risks and then maintain their focus on reducing them

Managing Third-Party Risk in the Modern Age
As organizations increase their dependency on third parties for a wide array of needs, firms have to make third-party risk management (TPRM) a critical piece of their cybersecurity program. A recent study found that third-party security incidents are rising 20% year over year. It's time to start thinking of ways to bring your TPRM program to the modern age, staying away from lengthy questionnaires and costly on-site visits that don't provide full risk visibility.
Join this session to learn how to:
- Scale up your TPRM program by integrating critical pieces of technology
- How to automate security assessments for game-changing efficiency
- Provide the third-party risk metrics that matter most to executive teams and board members

Rise of Next-Gen Software Supply Chain Attacks
Legacy software supply chain ?exploits", such as Struts incident at Equifax, prey on publicly disclosed open source vulnerabilities that are left unpatched in the wild. Conversely, next-generation software supply chain ?attacks? are far more sinister because bad actors are no longer waiting for public vulnerability disclosures. Instead, they are actively injecting malicious code into open source projects that feed the global supply chain.
Join this fireside chat with Ax Sharma, Senior Security Researcher, Sonatype and Michelle Dufty, Senior Vice President, Marketing Sonatype to:
1) Understand software supply chain attacks and their impact on the open-source ecosystem
2) Deep dive into prominent real-world examples of dependency confusion, typosquatting and brandjacking malware
3) Learn how your organization can proactively protect itself against software supply chain attacks

Building Integrated Security and Privacy Framework
With ever-emerging privacy regulations and trends: Privacy and security are overlapping more and more when it comes to tasks and responsibilities. The ISO (International Standards Organization) standard ISO 27701:2019 Framework was created to complement its previously released counterpart, the ISO 27001 (Information Security) Framework.
These two practice areas must integrate fully in order for companies to successfully implement risk management. In the past, privacy and security were related, but separate areas of focus. Now, security without a privacy lens placed over it will suffer strategic gaps.
With this in mind, the ISO Privacy Framework addresses:
- How to integrate privacy as you design and deploy new systems, products, and services.
- How to communicate about your privacy practices.
- How to avoid silos and spur collaboration across teams.
In today's session, we will learn from the practitioner who leads successful implementation and certification projects for the world's premier financial and cyber consulting firm about ?Building Integrated Security and Privacy Framework? where both the teams can work in collaboration to meet modern era challenges.
