Virtual CISO East Summit
May 27, 2020
Virtual CISO East Summit
With an alarming number of breaches, it is clear that the attack surface has greatly expanded. As enterprises work to develop a progressive strategy, there is an increasing need to deploy and manage a variety of advanced internal and external security services. This leaves the Chief Information Security Officer faced with a multitude of challenges to maintain and run a secure enterprise.
The CISO is at the center of the security dialogue and is ultimately responsible for the guidance and leadership of an increasingly intricate technology landscape. Given the weight of that responsibility, the search for the most transformative solutions that enable them to protect the enterprise is constant and the need to stay ahead of the curve, a must.
On May 27th, Apex Assembly will unite visionary leaders and industry security experts for a half day of content and discussion, where we will examine the challenges of 2019 and concentrate on the most pressing issues of 2020 in the information technology security sector.
Through collaboration with our executive community, we have discovered key industry challenges and trends. These topics form the foundation of the Summit and will be addressed through Panels, Disrupter sessions, and Fireside chats.
Hosted using video conferencing technology, our Virtual Summit gives executives and service providers the opportunity to engage with like-minded executives and industry leaders without having to leave their office or home.
Anyone can log in from anywhere. All you need is WiFi.
The Assembly will feature members from...

Many longstanding organizational policies were significantly relaxed to in the first few months of 2020 to enable a global workforce to work from home. Security policies that forbid activities including taking corporate systems out of the protections of the corporate office, working with highly-sensitive information at home, extending the enterprise network to personal devices and using unapproved software have all been stretched. Even more unfortunate, the scourge of cyberattacks, phishing and ransomware have taken advantage of the situation and epically increased in intensity. It’s time to restore balance – and to begin both working remotely and working securely.
In this session, we’ll explore:
- Balancing employee experience and agility with appropriate WFH usage of highly-regulated data and sensitive intellectual property.
- Options for enhancing confidentiality, integrity, availability and safety across situations, endpoints, networks, apps – and browsers.
- Designing for compliance, resiliency, assurance and visibility – while being continuously audit-ready.
- Incorporating workspace policies to enable the workforce to be continuously situationally aware and contextually risk-appropriate.

Thought Leadership Presentation: “Attacker Economics: The Evolution of Credential Stuffing“

| Adish Kasi Senior Account Executive |
read more »
Credential stuffing aimed at account takeover and other brute force attacks drive fraud and abuse that results in more than $40B of hard losses every year, and up to three times that much in total costs. Fraudsters and thieves are weaponizing each new data breach with such attacks. Their automation is working against the recent reductions in user friction that businesses have worked so hard to achieve. In this session you will learn about the evolution and economics of automation attacks and how cybercriminals bypass defenses like CAPTCHAs and browser fingerprints.

The stakes have never been higher for organizations to get cyber security right. There are many forces driving this sense of urgency: companies adding new private and public cloud platforms, new products,
geographic regions, apps and web capabilities, not to mention securing the increasing number of remote workers because of the Covid-19 pandemic. With the increase in sophisticated cyber-attacks, security teams are under pressure to protect organizations while under staffed, under-equipped and under budget.
In this session, cyber security thought leader Grant Asplund discusses how businesses of all sizes can adopt a modern approach to cyber security with a consolidated architecture that fully automates preventing attacks before enterprise systems can be breached.
