Moving Toward a Zero Trust Mindset


Traditional security strategies are no longer adequate to safeguard organizations from today’s complex and changing cyber threats. In a world where attacks may emerge from both internal and external sources, the perimeter-based security approach is no longer viable. A Zero Trust approach is ideal for organizations because it can significantly aid in fostering a security-first culture by increasing productivity, transparency and data authenticity.

Identity Security: Much more than just successfully completing a SOX audit

In the early 2000’s, organizations scrambled to deploy governance controls to pass their SOX audits.

In those early days, "automation" for Identity Governance meant sending spreadsheets via email, to review user access to financially significant systems.

Completing SOX audits remains a priority to this day.

However, at the C-level, organizations are prioritizing Identity Security. It’s viewed as not only a means to improve governance and perform SOX reviews, but also as a way to reduce risk, remove security blind-spots, gain business insight and increase operational efficiency for all types of workers.

SailPoint Technologies will share an update on the current state of Identity Security – the market trends, risks faced by organizations and ways through which technology, including Artificial Intelligence, can help organizations to deploy an effective, comprehensive and efficient Identity Security program which delivers value to the business

Cloud Security Capabilities

Cloud security solutions continue to emerge, evolve, and mature to where it may be unclear how they work together or differentiate form one another. Cloud Security acronyms such as Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM), Cloud Workload Protection Platforms (CWPP), Cloud Infrastructure Entitlement Management (CIEM), and Cloud-Native Application Protection Platform (CNAPP) are being associated with many products and services making it difficult to understand which of these best meets your organizations needs. Please join us as we have an open discussion on cloud security capabilities:

· What are the main difference between CSPM, CWPP, CIEM, and CIEM?

· Where is there common functionality of these capabilities?

· What are some use cases for the various capabilities?

· Where are all these capabilities headed?

Presentation by Joe Buhr

Joe Buhr has almost 30 years of industry experience splitting time as a software developer, enterprise architect, security engineer, and a cloud consultant and specialist. From manufacturing to telecommunications, healthcare, and finance, Joe has had the opportunity to guide some of the largest organizations as they securely transition to cloud native architectures.

AI & Security: The Good, The Bad, and The Hallucinatory 

How AI can help and hurt secure software development

AI is advancing at a stunning rate, with new tools and use cases being discovered each week. Recent developments in LLM-based engines have turned skeptics into believers as AI’s abilities and outputs are tangible and can even seem magical. As with all technology, AI raises both opportunities and challenges for security and development teams looking to boost productivity while managing risk.

In this talk, Clinton Herget, Field CTO at Snyk, will highlight some of the potential and some of the potential pitfalls AI can bring to secure development, and provide guidance on how security teams can think about both within the context of their programs. It's not just about deploying AI for the sake of it; instead, we're dedicated to the strategic use of AI that meaningfully enhances our product offerings and empowers our users to secure their software effectively.

Prior to Snyk, he spent time as a web developer, DevOps engineer, cloud solutions architect, engineering team manager, technical director and consultant with two decades of experience building and supporting complex cloud-based web and mobile applications. An engineer first, he thrives in problem-solving, rapid prototyping, and communicating about technical complexity.
