Security & Governance

The information security industry is alive with jargon, fear inducing stories and excitable vendors desperate to get hold of your budget. But how can you cut through the hype and get quality products and services that deliver business value and form part of a strategic solution, capable of supporting your ambitions? This session will paint a picture of the current information security threat landscape from an objective, dispassionate viewpoint and provide you with the key questions to ask vendors and suppliers. It will help you understand the realities of topics including mobile device risks, cybercrime, cyber warfare and the protection of your intellectual property. It should provide you with valuable thinking time and a chance to step back and take stock of what you are trying to achieve by securing your business.

Security today is fundamentally broken and an overhaul is desperately needed. Today's advanced cyber threats evade both detection and prevention by current approaches to network security - whether you want to believe it or not. Most organisations have developed an over-reliance upon network-layer, perimeter-focused solutions that require signatures or statistical-based foreknowledge of each technical threat. As proven through endless security breaches over the last few years, most legacy solutions are obsolete with each new action of focused adversaries, such as cyber criminals and nation-state groups, and because of their ever-changing attack methods, including targeted and zero-day malware, obfuscation, and covert network channels. This session focuses on the true nature and sources of today's advanced threats, and describes solution characteristics, both technology and operations-related, which are required to combat these threats and close critical network visibility gaps.

Evasion techniques are a means to disguise and/or modify cyber attacks to avoid detection and blocking by information security systems. Evasions enable advanced and hostile cyber criminals to deliver any malicious content, exploit or attack to a vulnerable system without detection that would normally be detected and stopped. Advanced Evasions take this threat to an entirely new level."Missing an evasion means a hacker can use an entire class of exploits to circumvent a security product, rendering it virtually useless,” said Rick Moy, president, NSS Labs.What delegates will learn from the session:· Understand Advanced Evasions and the threat they pose. · See an AET Hack in Action· Who and what is at risk.· Why the majority of Information Security Systems can be bypassed.· How to protect against Advanced Evasion Techniques.· How to Test if your Vulnerable

The world of computing is moving to the cloud – shared infrastructures, shared systems, instant provisioning and pay-as-you-go services. And users can enjoy anytime, anywhere access to services and their data. But are we secure in the new cloud environments? Are data assets protected as they move around in the cloud? The answer to both is yes – as long as your underlying security architecture has been designed for the cloud. In this session, Trend Micro, examines security concerns along the cloud journey and provides a framework to assess and prioritise security efforts. We then explore new technologies from VMware and Trend Micro that are already helping businesses to maintain privacy, integrity and confidentiality in virtualised environments.

As the smartphone continues on its relentless march to become the primary PC there is an even greater need to ensure it is secure. Companies increasingly require staff to use their smartphones to connect to the corporate network while working away from the office and using it to access the Internet is easier now than it has ever been in the past. Today, remote workers are able to use their mobile devices to access the Internet via the hundreds of unsecured Wi-Fi hotspots located across the country, delivering sensitive information straight into the corporate network. However, with all the easy-accessibility it’s no surprise that employees forget about security.This panel will look at the security issues faced by your road warriors and the security issues and best practices that employers should be aware of when connecting remote devices to the corporate network.
