In the ever-evolving landscape of DevOps, the paradigm is now shifting - where security is taking the central stage. With vast surface areas including containers, cloud, repositories and third-party components, cyber threats became more prominent than ever before in DevOps.

This presentation will delve into the evolution from traditional DevOps to the advanced usage of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies to automate and optimize the software development and delivery processes. This includes automating code scanning, testing and deployment processes while eliminating the threats in each possible way in the cycle. 

In this session, join Jyotirmayee Pradeep Kumar (Vice President - Cloud DevOps at a well-known global bank) as she unravels the stages of integration of AI at each phase of DevOps. Topics for discussion include:
- Types of AI used in DevOps. 
- Benefits of using AI in DevOps.
- Implementation of AI in DevOps.

Security Risks to Consider with AI Integration: AI in DevOps

In a world where the vast majority of cyber attacks leverage access-based methods to gain entry to an organization's resources, how can you be sure your organization remains secure?

This session explores best practices for ensuring all employees have the access they need, while ensuring that access is revoked promptly when they no longer need it. It starts with the reality that most enterprises have grown to large to rely on manual efforts, needing a combination of identity access management tools, implemented appropriately, and includes:

- The importance of creating a role-based access provisioning program that follows employees through their entire organizational lifecycle, from onboarding, through job changes, transfers and eventually, separation from the organization
- Automating and integrating the need for privileged access with the organization's change management process 

Be prepared for a primer in how to get started on this journey and make it successful over the long term.

Stay Safe: Managing Employee Access from Cradle to Grave

As organizations grow and evolve, the proliferation of disparate identity and access management (IAM) systems can create significant security vulnerabilities. Centralizing IAM is essential to mitigate these risks, but it presents challenges such as designing seamless interfaces and accommodating the dynamic needs of the business.

In this session, Vincent Amanyi (Founder, Boleam Inc) shares strategies to reduce fragmentation and centralize IAM systems using single sign-on (SSO) and role-based access control (RBAC). He will explore key internal and external considerations for developing comprehensive IAM policies that align with business evolution and industry changes.

Key Takeaways
- Optimize IAM Policies: Gain insights into the dynamic components of your organization's information access and learn how to support robust IAM policies.
- Foundation for Growth: Learn how to establish a strong foundation for managing identity risks in a rapidly evolving business landscape, especially during mergers and acquisitions.
- Risk Management: Understand how to identify gaps and effectively manage IAM sprawl risks to ensure a secure and compliant environment.

Mastering Identity Sprawl: Centralizing IAM for Enhanced Security

Remote and hybrid work remains a mainstay of most work environments post COVID-19 pandemic. Contrary to initial worries, the much-hyped IT security issues that most people dreaded from a remote and hybrid work setting did not adversely impact their organizations. This is due to the robust application of relevant IT governance, risk and compliance or IT GRC frameworks. 

In this presentation, Ralph Villanueva will speak about some of these frameworks, and why weaving them together can act like a protective web around the remote and hybrid IT ecosystem of the organization.

Applying IT GRC Solutions to Remote and Hybrid Work Security Issues

AI tools have been changing the landscape in many fields. The ability to impersonate someone using AI is of concern. Social engineering is a successful method for attackers to gain access to a network, and AI-enhanced social engineering will change the way these types of attacks will be perpetrated and how companies need to defend themselves. 

The presentation from industry thought leader Charles Kolodgy will provide useful insight and information designed to allow you to understand the increasing threat from AI enhanced social engineering and how best to defend against these types of attacks.

Join this discussion to learn:
- A quick understanding of social engineering and why it succeeds.
- Examples of how AI has been used to enhance social engineering attacks.
- What tools and options are available to defense against social engineering, including the use of defensive AI.
- How to evaluate various cybersecurity solutions that can aid in combating AI enhances social engineering.
- The importance of building a strong culture of security to combat social engineering.

Does AI Make Social Engineering Too Easy?

Ransomware risks has the potency to affect the critical assets of organizations and wreak devastating consequences if left un-checked. This session from consultant and industry thought leader Vincent Amanyi will provide a clear strategy for managing the Ransomware-as-a-Service (RaaS) model effectively to stem better control and establish high entry barrier for cybercriminal.

Key Takeaways
- Understand when to plan and implement ransomware control strategies.
- Definition of process map to incident response plan.
- How to map gap to internal research.

Roadmap to an Iron-Clad Ransomware Defense System

Ransomware continues to be a major source of risk for virtually every industry and vertical in every country. From education, government, and healthcare, to finance, consulting, and manufacturing. For-profit companies are as much a target as not-for-profit. 

The question most CIOs and CISOs are asked by the Board and the Executive Team is, “Are we protected from a ransomware attack?” 

As a security leader, the answer you want to give to that question is, “Yes we are!”

But how do you protect yourself from a ransomware attack? You know you want to do more than have a great 3-2-1 backup strategy. Great backups are table stakes in the ransomware defense playbook. With great backups you can recover quickly from an attack. 

What you really want is to have a way to prevent or at least limit the blast radius if an attack happens. 

A good strategy to reduce the risk of a successful ransomware attack is to implement the family of principals and controls outlined in the NIST Zero Trust Architecture (SP 800-207). 

Remember, the goal of the criminals in a ransomware attack is to steal and encrypt your data. They want to attack the availability leg of our CIA triad, namely the availability of your data. 

In this presentation, industry thought leader John Bruggeman will review the general components of zero trust, review how you can do a readiness assessment that will let you know where you are in your ZT journey, and how a ZT framework reduces your risk of a ransomware attack.

Key Takeaways:
- Understand components of a ransomware attack.
- Recognize intricacies of ransomware negotiations.
- Avoid mistakes frequently made during ransomware attacks.
- Recognize red flags common during ransomware attacks.

GenAI Cybersecurity Risks: The gift that keeps on giving your data away

Senior management often has a fundamental question regarding cyberattacks: How would cyberattacks affect our organization?  Business impact analyses (BIA), as they have been performed for decades, are inadequate.  The determination of desired recovery times and recovery points may be meaningless in the face of stolen information and ransomware attacks that reflect what business leaders would like to be done rather than what IT can do.  Moreover, new government rules require analysis and disclosure that necessitate an understanding by executive management of what the impact of a cyberattack would be if an attack were to occur.  This session provides an approach to determining what the impact of a cyberattack would be.

Tune in to this webinar to learn:
- How cyberattacks change the context of BIA.
- What are the potential financial, operational, reputational, regulatory and societal impacts of cyberattacks.
- How to conduct a cyber impact analysis.
- How a cyber impact analysis can drive cyber resilience strategy.
