Phoenix-Scottsdale Cybersecurity Conference

Whether you are an SMB, Enterprise, or MSSP, you need to know what your endpoints are running. You need to know your endpoints are secured and have not drifted from running approved software. You need to know your endpoints have the proper patches for the OS, software, and even device drivers. This is only possible with solutions that are dedicated for such tasks. Let 19X Microsoft MVP Derek Melber describe the ideal scenario that every organization can create to help them establish endpoints that can withstand some of the most brutal attacks. This is a combination of keynote and workshop, so bring your thinking caps! 

Attack surfaces for enterprises are constantly changing due to the integration of cloud-based infrastructure, interconnected devices, and third-party solutions. Every day, proactive cybercriminals are exploiting new vulnerabilities with skill. In this context, comprehensive Identity Security is crucial to managing risks. However, maintaining a strong Identity and Access Management (IAM) strategy can be a complex task given the multitude of tools involved. This session will address how a unified identity security strategy is key addressing the constantly evolving challenges of today and tomorrow’s cyber threats.

Thank goodness 2023 is over! Recession, staff reductions, continued cyber attacks, and more breaches! The time is now to consider changing things up! Traditional security solutions such as basic firewalls, vulnerability management, and endpoint detections is just not sufficient for the onslaught of different tactics by attackers. Let 19X Microsoft MVP Derek Melber guide you through some radical thinking regarding the various aspects of securing your endpoints, servers, data, resource access, and more. Just a hint: good core security starts with good security hygiene! By the time you are finished with this engaging keynote, you will want to start analyzing your current approach and considering how you will revamp your security strategies to make a bigger impact in your overall security risk and hygiene.

Organizations of all shapes and sizes are fighting battles against threat actors. As seen in recent years, cyber-attacks have become more sophisticated, making them harder to detect and mitigate. 

Today, there are two main methods relied upon by CISOs, and organizations in general, to verify that their infrastructure and their data and IP are protected. The risk assessment these methods generate might satisfy compliance regulators, but they fail to accurately validate the organization's actual security posture, especially against emerging threats, multi-vector attacks, and APTs. 

In this session, you’ll learn about a three-part purple teaming framework that helps you prepare for future bouts… especially when it comes to sophisticated, multi-vector attacks.

Generative AI models can perform tasks that traditionally require creativity

and human understanding. They learn patterns from existing data during training and can subsequently generate new content, such as texts, images, and music, that follow these patterns. Due to their versatility and generally high-quality results, they, on the one hand, represent an opportunity for digitalization. On the other hand, the use of generative AI models introduces novel IT security risks that need to be considered for a comprehensive analysis of the threat landscape in relation to IT security. we will be diving into risk analysis, measures 

and operational model with utilizing Gen AI
