KEYNOTE PANEL: THE INFORMATION SECURITY LEADERS’ PERSPECTIVE

PLENARY PRESENTATION: INSIDER THREAT: WHY DO PEOPLE CAUSE DATA BREACHES?

Data has become one of the world’s most valuable assets – so, unsurprisingly, protecting it from a multitude of risks remains a continual challenge.

Over the last five years, headline-grabbing incidents have demonstrated the potential implications of a data breach – from damaged business reputation, to loss of revenue and even company devaluation. According to the 2018 Cost of a Data Breach survey conducted by the Ponemon Institute, on average data breaches cost a company $3.86m, up 6.4% from 2017.

As the impacts of data breaches increase, so do the opportunities for employees to leak sensitive data – either accidentally or maliciously.

The presenter will be discussing how our recently launched Insider Data Breach survey shows just how prolific insider data breaches are and who is behind them.

PRESENTATION: INCIDENT AND BREACH MANAGEMENT: BUILDING A HARMONIZED RESPONSE PLAN FOR PRIVACY & SECURITY TEAMS

In the event of a breach, privacy and security professionals often approach incident response from two different outlooks. Whereas security teams are focused on threat vectors, privacy teams are concerned with personal data leaks and adhering to various global privacy laws. While the two come from different perspectives, it is possible to build an incident and breach response plan that addresses the needs of both teams. In this session, the presenter will discuss how to build a harmonized response plan that addresses both the security team’s technical needs and privacy team’s regulatory requirements across the patchwork of US privacy laws, the GDPR and other global privacy regulations. They will also provide tips to help you map out a 72-hour personal data breach action plan and share practical advice to improve your privacy program.

PLENARY PRESENTATION: THE HIDDEN ADVERSARY. ADVANCED DETECTION OF ATTACKERS ON THE NETWORK USING DECEPTION.

Regardless of their motives, cybercriminals continue to breach perimeter defences of financial services organisations, usually remaining undetected for months. Increased perimeter security appears to have bred better attackers, more adept at finding ways behind organisational lines. A pragmatic ‘assumed breach’ mentality breeds innovative thinking in cyber security. By turning our attention to finding attackers already on the network, we can reduce the extent and severity of consequential damage and facilitate faster recovery. Deception, an age old discipline in every adversary based discipline, offers cyber teams the means to identify and detect advanced attackers on the network and effect the correct remediations.
