Whether for compliance, customer requests, or as part of a wider security program, third-party pentesting comes up often enough to impact security teams’ priorities and resources. The question is: is that impact valuable? How can teams know that their pentests are of good quality? What even defines quality in pentesting?
From this session, attendees can learn:
- What to expect from an effective pentest
- How to spot a high-quality pentesting vendor
- Dos and don’ts with scoping, execution and triaging

| Yochai Corem Chief Executive Officer |

If anyone has benefited from the pandemic, it has been cyber attackers. As businesses expanded their investment in cloud resources and other IT resources in response to the pandemic, cyber-attacks also dramatically increased.
Businesses have reported 445 million cyber attack incidents in 2020, double the rate for 2019.
With a successful Threat Intelligence Program in place, many of the security incidents of 2020 could likely have been averted.
During this presentation, you will get practical steps in building a proactive Threat Intelligence Program.

As users continue to work from anywhere and IoT devices flood networks and operational environments, continuous verification of all users and devices as they access corporate applications and data is needed.
To protect networks and applications, network administrators must apply a zero-trust access approach and provide least access privileges. Implementing zero-trust access includes requiring strong authentication capabilities, powerful network access control technologies, and pervasive application access controls.
With the increase in connectivity, collaboration, and devices, the threat landscape is expanding. This calls for a comprehensive zero-trust approach that can understand and control everyone and everything on your network.
A Zero Trust Access (ZTA) strategy focuses on network connectivity, and has three essential functions;
- WHAT: Know every device that’s on the network
- WHO: Know every user that accesses your network
- ON and OFF: Know how to protect assets on and off the network
What’s next? Applying zero-trust principles to applications. Fortinet’s Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) does that, providing automatic secure remote access per application that verifies who, when, and what while giving policy-controlled access to applications irrespective of the user’s location
A true zero-trust framework identifies, segments, and continuously monitors all devices, allowing organizations to ensure that internal resources remain secured, that data, applications, and intellectual property remain protected, and that network and security operations are simplified overall.

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.
Apex Assembly will unite visionary leaders and industry experts for a half day of content and discussion, where we will examine the challenges and the most pressing issues of 2021 in the information technology 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.
