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.

Passwordless: The Cornerstone to your Zero Trust Strategy
? Dealing with multiple credentials? 
? Struggling to understand how zero trust can be achieved? 
? Trying to achieve passwordless across your digital ecosystem? 

 Although everyone has heard of Zero Trust, it's not always clear what this hyped term means for businesses. There are various definitions floating around, causing confusion among IT leaders as many vendors claim their products are the answer to Zero Trust. The truth is there is no one zero trust vendor or solution, most of these solutions will address only part of your Zero Trust security model. But throughout the variety of vendors, the core idea of this model is the same â?" to never trust, always verify. A Zero Trust security model is impossible without verification of every user, machine, interaction, and process across your business. It might seem like an overwhelming process to build this new model, but you can build a strong foundation with Axiad Cloud- a single authentication and credential management platform for users, machines, devices, and digital interactions.

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. 

Join Garrett Bechler, Ermetic's Senior Director of WW Sales Engineering, to explore the unseen access risks to your cloud posed by human and machine identities -- and how to simply reduce them using advanced entitlements management technology. You will learn how your organization can: 
- Gain the visibility into your AWS, Azure and Google entitlements that it lacks today 
- Understand -- across Okta, MFA and other integrated data -- what entities are privileged 
- Automate access-risk analysis and mitigation spanning identities, network and resources 
- Report on and investigate the blast radius should an incident take place 
- Manage compliance and entitlements in a unified pane of glass

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. 

The Rise of Unstructured Data and Ransomware 
  •  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
Movement to Zero Trust Architecture 
  • 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. 

Key takeaways: 
- Protecting remote workers in web and cloud, while controlling access to cloud and private apps without VPNs 
- Safeguarding the usage of data across the business 
- Continuously monitoring user risk

Automate Third-Party Identity and Risk Processes'
Today, organizations provide "internal" access to more third-party "outsiders" including vendors, supply chain, partners, and even bots (and "things") than ever before. 

However, most organizations are not able to automate key identity processes like onboarding, auditing, and offboarding for their third-party users. 

SecZetta believes that security leaders must automate their third-party identity and risk process to:
- Reduce onboarding cost and time 
- Improve risk mitigation with fewer orphaned accounts, third-party incident response capabilities, and timely offboarding 
- Confirm that users - especially those who are remote, are who they claim to be 

Value Proposition 
- Gain transparency into Third-Party users and their access 
- Align current third-party user relationship status to access 
- Reduce cost by removing third-party users from HRIS, proprietary systems, and manual onboarding and offboarding practices

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.

Stop Human Vulnerabilities from Hurting the Business: A Cross-Functional Approach to Risk Reduction
Last year, 85% of breaches involved exploiting a human element, according to the Verizon DBIR. Indeed, for the finance sector, social engineering was the most pervasive attack pattern, and human employees were the second-most targeted asset after servers. 

 In this session, George Kamide, Senior Director at SafeGuard Cyber, will share details on how a hyper-growth financial services company is reducing enterprise risk by mapping out the ?central nervous system of business communications,? and using a cross-functional approach to secure it. Attendees will learn: 

o How a hyper-growth company reduced the risks associated with rapid onboarding of new employees and communication technologies 
o How this company used a cross-functional approach to reduce risks in the ?central nervous system of business communication? 
o How to maximize situational awareness to detect and respond to risk in cloud communications
