Beyond Identity | The Past, Present and Future of Strong Authentication | Jasson Casey CTO

Authentication is a foundational element of every cybersecurity program. With more than 80% of data breaches and most ransomware incidents stemming from credential-based attacks (e.g., phishing, credential stuffing, RDP brute, etc.), it has become clear that passwords are a fatally flawed authentication method. Unfortunately, many common solutions are “band-aids” on top of passwords and are lacking from both a security and user experience perspective.  Replacing passwords as an authentication factor is finally possible. While eliminating passwords is a critical step in stopping credential-based attacks, it is just a first step on the journey to advanced authentication and access control needed to achieve zero trust.In this talk, we will discuss:

  • A brief history of authentication
  • Changing requirements in the new work from home(or anywhere) business model and cloud-centric architectures
  • Can we gain risk-reduction improvements by converging the traditionally disparate identity and security processes and technologies?
  • A case for continuous user authentication
  • What is device risk and why is the real-time assessment of endpoint security important

Automox | Infrastructure as Code Security | Jessica Onorati Senior Security Engineer

Learn how to improve your security posture with Infrastructure as Code (IaC). Make sure automation and security are at the forefront of your pipeline designs.
Deep dive into how Infrastructure as Code (IaC) can improve security and operations through fast and repeatable deployments. In traditional deployment and management models, rarely does improved security contribute to faster delivery. IaC changes the game by making security a foundational part of your day 1 deployment stance. Learn how IT and security teams can mutually benefit from a shared pipeline.

Keynote | “What’s the Worst That Can Happen?” | Naomi Buckwalter, vCISO, Director of Information Security, Beam Technologies

The year is 2032. We live, work, and play in the “metaverse” – a virtual reality universe. Our digital identities are now our main forms of existence; we live entirely online and do everything in 1’s and 0’s.

It seems improbable, but we’ve been driving at full speed towards this reality since the advent of the internet.

Over the next 10 years then, how does cybersecurity need to evolve? What do we as leaders need to do TODAY to secure a future world that exists mostly in the virtual? And more importantly, what can we do to help prepare our companies and communities for this eventuality?

Join Naomi Buckwalter, Director of Information Security & IT at Beam Technologies, as she paints the pictures of two alternate realities – one in which cybersecurity is seen as everyone’s responsibility, and the other in which we treat cybersecurity as an afterthought. Because cybersecurity is no longer just an IT problem.

Our future depends on it.
