Many data breaches unfold when an attacker exploits a defender’s mistaken configuration or an unknown vulnerability in an IT or cloud infrastructure. In this keynote presentation, a top cybersecurity expert will explain the most common mistakes and holes that can lead to an attack, and how to identify and remediate these weaknesses in your IT and cloud infrastructures.

In this keynote address, a top security researcher will detail and analyze trends and takeaways from real-world data breaches investigated over the past year, pinpointing the most popular attack vectors and exploited vulnerabilities. The keynote also will cover best practices for defending against these attacks.

Today’s Top Cloud Security Threats Threat actors have their sights firmly trained on exploiting vulnerabilities in cloud services, applications, and configurations. This webinar will offer strategies for gaining visibility into the cloud and implementing and enforcing consistent security controls across your entire environment, both on-premises and cloud, to keep them at bay. Experts will also provide tips on protecting against top cloud cybersecurity threats including account hijacking, insecure APIs, and insider threats, and explore the tools available to help.

Malware and ransomware continue to evolve, exploiting blind spots and operational silos within the enterprise. In this presentation, we “air the dirty laundry” — exposing the systemic challenges and overlooked vulnerabilities that hinder Security Operations Centers (SOCs) from mounting an effective defense. Aimed at CISOs and Security Architects, this session confronts the hard truths behind insufficient east-west visibility, delayed threat detection, and overburdened analysts.

We’ll explore how to transform the SOC from a reactive, alert-driven function into a proactive, intelligence-led force by embracing architectural transparency, real-time behavioral analytics, and threat-informed defense models. Key takeaways include strategies for enabling deep network observability, integrating automated response mechanisms, and aligning security operations with broader risk management goals. Attendees will walk away with a practical framework for building a resilient SOC—one that is not only empowered to detect and respond, but also engineered to disrupt the adversary’s kill chain before damage is done.

Software vulnerabilities are at the core of most data breaches. These bugs can be in your third-party software or in your own internal applications. When software vendors regularly issue updates and patches, how do you know which ones to prioritize? How do you ensure your own development team is writing secure code? In this panel discussion, experts will discuss how to identify, assess, and prioritize the risk of an attacker exploiting the latest vulns in your systems. They will offer strategies for using DevSecOps for your internal apps as well as building a sound patching policy for your third-party software.

The shared security responsibility between cloud providers and their customers can cause confusion and, in some cases, breaches in the cloud environment when organizations miss or misconfigure security settings. In this panel discussion, cloud security experts will discuss how attackers can take advantage of those mistakes, as well as vulnerabilities in the cloud services themselves. They will provide guidance on how to avoid cloud misconfigurations and security missteps, as well as best practices for securing cloud-based accounts, identities, and stored data.

That very bad, no-good data breach day hits your organization, so now what? In this panel discussion, experts in incident response will detail and discuss the key steps in responding to a security incident, including a look at the role of emerging tools using AI and automation, eXtendedDetection and Response (XDR), and other state-of-the art IR practices.
