Panel Discussion

Identity-first approach to cybersecurity

With the shift to distributed working models, SaaS application sprawl, and a rapidly evolving IT environment, it’s no surprise that organizations are now more susceptible to cyber attacks and threat actors. In the last year, 90% of organizations experienced an identity-related breach. Identity security has emerged as the new perimeter in the constantly changing world of cybersecurity. But barriers to strong identity security practices are often outdated tools, limited access to technical talent, a lack of executive sponsorship, or a constrained budget.

In this panel, we will discuss:

 - How to develop a compelling strategy and get executive board buy-in
 - How breaking down enterprise silos and aligning to the overall business strategy create a more resilient identity security program
 - How AI/ML can improve your identity security posture to adapt to changing environments, boost IT productivity, and stay ahead of security issues across the enterprise  
 - Key considerations needed to make well-informed, risk-based decisions about provisioning, verifying, and deprovisioning access to non-employees and managing access to unstructured data

Keynote

In this keynote, Matt Cooper, Director, GRC at Vanta, will share his view on the future of third party risk; one that prioritizes inside-out assessment of vendor risk, and is based on continuous monitoring rather than point-in-time checks. Join this session for a discussion on:

 - Challenges in assessing vendor risk

 - The future trajectory of third party risk management

 - Strategies to integrate these insights into your daily operations

Keynote

Your Most Important Asset: Data - Is It Really Secure?

It is projected that by 2025 our global data volume will reach 181 zetabytes. Securing this
explosion of data is a top priority for enterprise leaders. In a recent Forrester Research study
commissioned by Cyera, security leaders said they expect the most transformational business
benefits to come from automating data security, specifically risk assessments, data discovery,
and classification. Additionally, 71% of security leaders said legacy technologies and manual
processes inhibit business success. Join Yotam Segev, Co-founder & CEO of Cyera, as he
leads a discussion on the importance of embracing automation and rapid time as critical tactics
for securing your organization’s most important asset.
Discussion topics will include:

 - The struggle to understand the data attack surface
 - How cloud, automation, and GenAI apps like Microsoft Copilot are changing the way
businesses interact with and share data - opening the door to data leakage
- New approaches to data security that ensure data compliance and improve the security
team’s ability to protect PII

Keynote

Security Validation as the Heart of Exposure Management

To increase security readiness given today’s dynamic attack surfaces and diverse cyberthreats, security professionals need to move away from traditional vulnerability-centric methods to a new approach that identifies exploitable security exposures in their live IT environments. Gartner describes Exposure Management (EM) as a new framework that incorporates the adversary's view to continuously uncover exploitable security gaps, and prioritize remediation accordingly. One of the pillars of EM is security validation, which provides evidence of attackers’ possible achievements in the context of an organization’s deployed assets, configurations, and security controls. During this session, we will present a pragmatic approach to implementing an Exposure Management strategy, focusing on automated security
validation.
