In this panel discussion, we'll discuss the polarizing case of Joe Sullivan that has rattled the CISO community. Was the Sullivan case a rare anomaly? Were his actions in this scenario typical or unconscionable for the average CISO? Is it okay for Sullivan to take the fall while the rest of Uber and involved parties plead out with little to no punishment?
We'll tackle all these questions and more with our excellent panel, comprised of:
Sounil Yu, CISO and Head of Research at JupiterOne
Brian Markham, CISO at EAB
Rich Friedburg, CISO at Live Oak Bank
Robert Graham, Owner at Errata Security

Don’t leave the door open. Modern systems are complex and require you to consider many aspects. Here are some aspects we consider critical: - APIs are the dominant software development direction/trend. Traditional/legacy ways to grant access is not fit for purpose of protecting this new way of delivering products and services. - Customers are demanding better digital experiences. To maintain a competitive edge and drive brand loyalty businesses need to provide great online experiences. - Standards (such as OAuth and OpenID Connect) are important to ensure high-security levels. Also enables scalability and helps future-proof your infrastructure. For example in the financial sector, these standards play a key role in the drive toward open banking. - A modern architecture is a zero trust architecture. In a zero trust architecture, the new perimeter hinges on identity.

Every penetration test should have specific goals. Coverage of the MITRE ATT&CK framework or the OWASP Top Ten is great, but what other value can a pentest provide by shifting your mindset further left or with a more strategic approach? How often do you focus on the overall ROI of your penetration testing program? This talk will explore what it means to “shift left” with your penetration testing by working on a threat informed test plan. Using a threat informed test plan will provide more value from your pentesting program and gain efficiency in your security testing pipeline. This talk applies to both consultants and internal security teams.

Threat actors use automation and technology to do evil at scale. Yet, even with cutting edge technology available to them, smaller organizations feel overwhelmed. Analysts struggle from the “alt-tab, swivel-chair” problem, and security products just don’t feel… powerful. So how does a SOC maximize its most valuable asset–the humans–in combination with technology to overachieve? This talk will teach you a new way to model out your team's resources, assets, and capabilities to defend against various levels of adversaries to determine where you have operational capability, where you have gaps, and how to tell the difference.

While APIs enable innovation, they’re increasingly targeted as a pathway to data. API abuses are often carried out through automated attacks, in which a botnet floods the API with unwanted traffic—seeking vulnerable applications and unprotected data. In this discussion, Karl Triebes shares what you need to know about the automated bot threats targeting your APIs with guidance on how to protect your applications and APIs from these attacks.

Gartner recently reported that the RPA software market will reach $2.9 billion by the end of 2022, up 19.5% from 2021. But, despite Airlines adopting it to help with cancellations and retail for inventory management, we’re not talking about the security risk this tech will cause. Alan Radford, Global IAM Strategist at One Identity discusses the truly devastating impact that can occur when an organization leaves its RPA program vulnerable and without any identity and access protection, why realizing that machines have identities too could save us from dangerous RPA breaches in the future, and steps companies can take to secure their RPA technology as more companies continue to implement it.

Cyber risk quantification should be at the center of an enterprise's actions to understand and measure risk posed in the event of a cyberattack. That data should then be used to estimate - financially - cyber risk exposure. To start this process, enterprises need 3 pillars to build a good cyber risk quantification program: the right data, appropriately skilled people and a methodology.

The Web3 ecosystem is chock full of applications and projects that have lost money (and their customers’ money) due to breaches, code flaws, or outright fraud. How can security teams do a better job of protecting Web3 apps? Web3 applications (including NFTs) aren’t just vulnerable to attack, they often present a broader attack surface (due to the distributed nature of blockchains) at the same time as being a desirable target because of the value association with tokens. Join us for a lively discussion about key threats to Web3 apps – both on-chain and off-chain - what we can do to mitigate them…and what we absolutely should not do.
