Protecting digital communication and collaboration is critical to both our military and private sector industries in driving mission success. Our ability to secure the local and remote systems we rely on to share and operationalize sensitive and confidential information to and from even the most remote location is vital to national security and our economy. Unfortunately, our adversaries know this and are dedicated to infiltrating, exfiltrating, and disrupting this flow of information. They are highly motivated, well-funded, trained, and equipped, and work relentlessly to find exploitable technical or human vulnerabilities. Join Matt Erickson, VP of Solutions for SpiderOak Mission Systems to discuss the looming threats to federal and private sector communication and collaboration systems, the consequences of failure, and how emerging technologies such as Zero-Trust and Distributed Ledger can harden our defenses and protect our most valuable data.

With Eclypsium researchers' discovery of BIOSDisconnect and their upcoming talk and demo at DefCon 29 upon us, the stakes have never been higher when it comes to protecting the foundation of computing at the firmware level. A feature meant to make updating and protecting the firmware easier for users (BIOSConnect) ends up exposing the BIOS to being bricked or implanted with malicious code operating at the highest privilege. Yet another example of the significant vulnerabilities that exist at the firmware level that attackers have been eyeing of late.

Ransomware is flourishing and our endpoints are scattered outside the corporate network. Visibility is a challenge in this age of decentralized corporate assets. Our discussion today will explore the problem from two sides. On the endpoint, where much of the battle against ransomware tends to be fought, is prevention a lost battle? Regardless of hopes for better prevention, it is clear that the ability to detect and respond is as important as ever, so we'll discuss how security operations should be positioning themselves.
