Welcome

Bulletproof Keynote: The Future of Modern SecOps

Traditional defense-in-depth cybersecurity architecture—like the military tactic it’s named after—only slows attacks by intelligent cybercriminals. Even the best multiple-point security solutions can’t entirely stop them.

These attacks are getting smarter and more frequent. As more workloads (and data) move into the cloud, the stakes get higher. A data breach is not an acceptable risk. The amount of overall visibility your IT team has into your cybersecurity architecture only helps if they can actually respond to all the threats they see coming.

In many organizations, the number of security incidents is so high and the responses require so much manual intervention that the security teams just cannot keep up. The only way to improve this is to be able to respond faster. The only realistic way to accomplish this is through automation.

In this keynote, you’ll learn:

• •  Why tasking your security team with searching for cybercrime clues in a mountain of security alerts is unsustainable (and dangerous)
• • How a mix of niche security tools may be slowing your security team down
• • Why even the increased efficiency offered by a SIEM may not be enough to enable your team to respond to real threats
• • How a best-of-platform model can provide a new level of value and security for your organization

Breakout Session #1A: How To Survive The Rush To Remote Work Without Compromising Security

If you haven’t done so already, throw your long-term plan to enable remote work in the trash. COVID-19 forced organizations to pick up the implementation pace from a crawl to a sprint to ensure the safety of their workers.

As we so often see in the wild, when we force employees to choose between productivity and security, we put our business data at risk. Trying to solve this problem in the midst of a massive workforce shift can feel impossible.

Your organization can survive the rush of remote work deployment and improve your security posture around a new virtual space for large group conversations, shared collaboration on information documents, and accessing resources remotely in a hybrid model.

In this session, you’ll learn:

• • How to avoid potential blockers and challenges for remote work
• • Core principles for securing hybrid identity across the cloud and all user locations
• • Security control best practices for your Teams environment
• • How to make Teams the ultimate safe zone for sensitive chat and meetings

Breakout Session #1C: The Top 5 Mistakes That Make You Fail Security Assessments (And How Not to Make Them)

Technology evolves fast. Security risks evolve faster. Many companies try to shore up their defenses by hiring third-party ethical hackers to test their security posture. This valuable exercise helps companies tighten security controls by finding cracks in their networks and systems.

We’ve performed hundreds of security assessments and penetration tests across a range of verticals, and (like any cybersecurity expert worth their salt) we’ve seen some predictable patterns emerge. In this session, we’ll cover the top 5 mistakes that compromise corporate networks—and, more importantly, tell you how not to make them.

In this session, you’ll learn:

• • The methodologies used for security assessments and penetration tests
• • How real companies avoided the worst-case scenario by IDing security risks before they became a problem
• • The 5 vulnerabilities we most often discover
• • Tools and techniques you can use right away to protect your organization from hackers

Breakout Session #2A: Detecting Insider Risk With Microsoft Technologies

No matter how advanced your security infrastructure is, the truth remains: the greatest threat to your corporate data already has access to it. Often, an insider “attack” is the result of negligence caused by poor employee security awareness. Sometimes, though, insider attacks are purposeful and malicious, and these can be more damaging than any breach from the outside.

Activities such as IP theft, sensitive information leakage, and regulatory violations are difficult challenges for a dynamic workplace. This session will help attendees understand how to balance a modern collaborative environment with these challenges through Microsoft insider risk management and communication compliance. You’ll get a firsthand look at the tools available and how they can be used to protect your organization.

In this session, you’ll learn:

• • The specific challenges that Insider risk management can help tackle
• • Where insider risk management fits in the overall      Microsoft compliance framework
• • How to configure insider risk management and manage the lifecycle of insider risk alerts
• • How communication compliance can help
•

Breakout Session #2C: New and  Emerging Threats to Watch Out For in 2020

In this session, you'll learn:

• • Which attack techniques were most successful in 2019
• • What to expect from cybercriminals in 2020
• • Where you should focus your security resources to address both current and future threats
•

Breakout Session #3A: How Modern SecOps Can Get the Most Out of the Microsoft Platform

Businesses of all sizes can empower their SecOps team by building and operating a natively integrated security platform that can automatically detect and remediate security threats. Learning how to leverage the Microsoft Security Stack can also provide advanced threat investigation capabilities.

In this session, you’ll learn:

• • The ins and outs of Microsoft’s cybersecurity architecture
• • How to integrate different solutions on Microsoft Security Stack
• • Managing security Incident lifecycle with Azure Sentinel
• • How to automate incident response with Azure Sentinel Playbooks
• • Threat hunting tips across Microsoft Security Stack

Breakout Session #3C: When We Say "Call", We Don't Mean "Phone"

Moving to the cloud presents an opportunity to rethink traditional business communications. The continuing global pandemic has shown businesses that it’s possible to communicate and collaborate effectively from home (or anywhere) using tools like Microsoft Teams.

So why are we desperately hanging on to legacy phone systems? Send them the way of the fax machine (and save on overhead) by using Teams as the primary calling method for your business.

In this session, you’ll learn:

• • All of the features and benefits offered by Microsoft Teams Calling
• • How to make the move from legacy phone                  systems and VOIP to Teams Calling
• • How not to make a mess of your Teams Calling implementation
• • How Bulletproof managed their transition internally (and successfully)
•
