Jefferson Wells 3rd Annual Cyber Risk Symposium

Keynote (9:00am CT)

We are facing global cyber warfare where the battlefield is the Internet, and the potential casualties are your systems and data. The increasing frequency and magnitude of attacks are straining the ability of organizations to keep systems and data secure. We will provide an overview of current state, challenges on the horizon, and what organizations need to understand if they are to survive. After participating in this session, you will understand:

-How attackers are increasing the complexity and ferocity of their attacks
-What is happening today that significantly magnifies the problem
-Best practices for surviving and thriving in these challenging times

Artificial Intelligence (AI): Risks and Rewards (9:30am CT)

AI is revolutionizing our lives. When controlled and used ethically it can automate tasks, increase productivity, and solve complex problems. However, if left uncontrolled or used by nefarious parties, it will lead to harmful outcomes. It is critical the risks associated with it are mitigated before it’s too late. In this presentation you’ll learn:                                           

-Common use cases for AI today and predictions for future use
-How cybercriminals are using AI to conduct their tactics, techniques, and procedures
-How AI may learn to bypass protective guardrails
-How to mitigate risks associated with AI threats from both nefarious parties and AI itself

In today’s ever changing digital landscape, organizations must be prepared to deal with the increasing threats and risks associated with credit card transactions. Regardless of size, companies who store, process, or transmit credit card data must have the appropriate safeguards in place to protect that data. Compliance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is not only mandatory but essential to providing a standard and consistent framework to provide that protection.

Version 4.0 of the PCI DSS framework represents the most significant upgrade in nearly a decade.  The adoption of version 4.0 will be challenging for many companies as they navigate the changes to reporting format, implementation of new controls, availability of the new “customized approach”, changes to the Self-Assessment Questionnaires, and other factors.  During this session, we will review the following topics and how they can impact readiness for PCI DSS version 4.0:

-What remains consistent within the PCI DSS landscape
-The key goals of PCI DSS Version 4.0
-Key changes within Version 4.0
-The “Customized Approach”
-Key changes to the SAQs (Self-Assessment Questionnaires)
-Preparing for Version 4.0

Organizations struggle with the management of Internet facing, on-premises infrastructure and applications. While cloud solutions are not an instant panacea to security concerns, there are many features that help reduce the risk to your corporate environment.

Hear from a pair of experienced penetration testers on why on-premises solutions are targeted by adversaries, and what security controls can be implemented within a cloud environment to alleviate these risks. They peel back the layers of complexity to distill the key concepts behind cloud computing, the risks that must be addressed, and some of the tools for accomplishing security reviews of Cloud infrastructure.

During this session you will learn about:
-Key control frameworks for cloud security and governance
-Importance of security prequalification of cloud providers
-Tools to help organizations ensure implementation of strong security controls
-Security challenges associated with on-premises solutions
-Examples of adversaries targeting on-premises solutions
-Benefits and risk reduction associated with migration to a cloud provider
-Key security controls to implement within your cloud solution to provide immediate risk reduction
