Topic:
Your security tools such as your firewall, IDS/IPS, DLP, SIEM, and Sandboxing solutions have done their job. They have identified that you have a problem ... you have an unwanted guest in your network. Now the dreaded questions:
· What did the bad guys do?
· What did they take?
· Who else in my organization might be compromised? Who brushed against that malicious code?
· How did they get in?
· What did they get out and how much got out?
Having a way to answer these questions can really midigate the impact of a breach and same your organization huge sums of money … not to mention your reputation. Knowledge is power and in a breach you want every byte of knowledge available.
In this presentation we will walk through the anatomy of a breach and ways we can be prepared to answer these questions.

All Day
Hale Koa Hotel, Honolulu, Hawaii
Theme:
Cyber Resiliency: The Power to Recover
The Cyber threat has evolved from hackers causing mischief to nation states and organized crime using offensive cyber operations as political and economic advantages. Cyber resiliency is becoming both a critical business issue and an imperative social issue. Cyber resiliency accepts that we cannot achieve perfect security or absolute continuity.

Developing better systems architecture and software, focusing on data, and becoming more cyber-aware enables productivity no matter you are or what device you are using.
