Topic I - Security Implications of Employee Account Compromise

Abstract:
Employee accounts are being constantly targeted by black hat teams. Owning the keys to the kingdom leads to large payoffs. Significant breaches in the last couple of years has provided credence to this fact. We will discuss challenges and strategies for combating employee account misuse. The discussion will focus on a deep dive into Privileged Access Management (PAM), its various facets and how to implement (vendor agnostic) effective controls and policies that bolster the security envelope. Additionally, we will show how various compliance regimes like FFIEC, HIPAA, SOC 2 and SOX can benefit from the strategies presented.

Topic 2: Taking control of data security: A paradigm shift. 

   

Abstract:

  

We know the perimeter of the organization is no longer its network, "User" is the new perimeter. Organizations are allowing ther users to produce mission-critical data on the fly from any place, time and on/through any device. Data itself is becoming big and fat. The "V-force" of data (namely Volume, Value, Vagueness Variety, Velocity, Variability and Visualization) is pushing the limits of compuing, network and storage. Thus, the conventional controls for data integrity, confidentiality and availability need to be re-evaluated for their efficiency and effectiveness. At the same time, the users, who produce data must take more responsibility of their data and its security and privacy throughout its lifecycle.
