Challenges and Lessons Learnt From Shifting Security Left
Changes in how organizations develop and deploy products over the last decade have strained efforts to drive security practices early into the process. Highly efficient and dynamic paradigms such as DevOps and CI/CD have increased the criticality of addressing security requirements in the earliest stages while at the same time increasing the challenges in doing so. Hear from Alyssa Miller, BISO and head of the cyber security program for S&P Global Ratings as she shares her perspectives from her work establishing security-minded culture not only within her current organization but from past consulting engagements as well. You'll hear about real-world challenges and lessons learned through these various initiatives. She'll also share key practices to overcome those challenges and gain buy-in and adoption from all areas of the business from grass roots clear up through the top levels of leadership. You'll leave understanding actionable steps you can take to align security initiatives with business objectives and truly make security an enabler of innovation and market leadership.Presented by:

how they are exercising due diligence in protecting their organisations from
cyber-risks.

Why You Want to Know about Cloud Infrastructure Entitlements Management
Managing identities and entitlements in public clouds is fraught with risk. Cloud complexity makes it virtually impossible to know if identities can access sensitive resources -- and to remove risky privileges. It's serious: By 2023, inadequate management of identities, access and privileges will be the cause of 75% of cloud security failures [Gartner]. Multi cloud environments make things even harder; yet shared responsibility makes the buck stop at your door. Seeing, fixing and preempting excessive permissions and other cloud access risks is a new priority for security and IAM stakeholders, and the antidote to such risks. It's why automated solutions for doing this are essential to protecting your cloud infrastructure and reducing your attack surface from malicious access and advanced attacks, including ransomware.Sponsored by:

Using Zero Trust Data Access to bring order to the chaos of unstructured data in a Global Hybrid environment
In this session Anthony DeCristofaro, CEO of Qnext, will discuss the challenges of managing and governing unstructured data in a hybrid infrastructure and examine the security issues, costs and chaos it creates. He will then look at the importance of deploying a zero trust data access solution to help protect valuable data through role-based access according to least privilege and to govern, restrict and manage remote access to unstructured data. The result is reduced data exposure and the possibility of ransomware. Finally, he will briefly introduce you to FileFlex Enterprise, the world's first and leading ZTDA product.- Unstructured data makes up at least 80 percent of all enterprise data and is expected to grow 500% per year
- The average cost of storing a single TB of file data is $3,351 a year. That cost potentially skyrockets because of supporting technologies
- Unstructured data is the top vector for ransomware
- Approximately 37% of global organizations said they were the victim of some form of ransomware attack in 2021, according to IDC's "2021 Ransomware Study"
- Ransomware complaints to the FBI are up 62%
- Ransomware has reached what can only be described as digital pandemic levels not seen before and with extreme focus on unstructured data
- ZTNA and ZTAA platforms provide limited tools to control access to the file-based unstructured data such as documents, PDF files, images, videos and spreadsheets
- A Zero Trust Data Access (ZTDA) platform provides the policy decision point for unstructured data access not found in ZTNA and ZTAA platforms
- Using a ZTDA platform for sharing files greatly reduces the threat profile of your organization

Protect your Hybrid Workforce with Data-First SASE
For enterprises with hybrid workforces and ubiquitous cloud services, protecting the edge is no longer enough. Security teams must deliver safer access to business resources and enforce security policies consistently. A data-first SASE architecture goes beyond access to control usage of data everywhere and ensure only the right people have access to the right data, while enabling you to understand the usage of data and apply appropriate control points where needed.Sponsored by:

Revolutionizing Application Development with Low-Code Technology
With the rapid pace of evolving technology challenges your
financial institution must be creative and innovate to remain
competitive. Each planning year, CIOs are required to prioritize only the
most critical initiatives, and as a result defer projects that would have a
great positive impact. In this session, Mendix will cover the 2021 CIO
and Technology Leader survey results and how low-code can enable technology
teams and their line of business partners to increase development capacity and
accelerate delivery against the Enterprise Roadmap. Join this session to
hear about how your peers are leveraging low-code to deliver engaging digital
customer experiences to the business faster and implementing modernization that
will increase productivity across the enterprise.

Zero Trust Data Security: Enable Secure Digital Transformation
Even before the pandemic, banks
were optimizing revenue-driving processes â?" such as loan applications â?" through
digitization. Now, the move to cloud and remote-first environments has
accelerated, and some banks struggle with securing new volumes of data without
impacting business workflows and employee productivity.
Many financial institutions
grappling with a sprawling enterprise architecture with on-prem and cloud-based
data have adopted Zero Trust as a strategic methodology to control access to
and secure their data. However, this focus has largely been on access and
identity management, instead of on the largest revenue-driver and also the
biggest risk for institutions: files and data. Join Votiro as we share Zero
Trust strategies for securing data and documents without impacting core
business functions and overview file threat research from our lab.
