Developing Security Solutions

During this session, we will explore how the Dell Technologies ecosystem of capabilities is providing a pathway to security transformation for next generation applications and multi-cloud platforms. We will discuss the need for intrinsically secure architectures and how Dell Technologies help organisations adopt a unified approach around aligning their attitude towards risk with their security spend.

This presentation will show real-word examples of how Photobox Group Security uses graph technology to allow the business to make Fact/Risk based decisions. Using Slack Bots to allow the easy consumption and visualisation of data (from risks, to vulns, to projects, to okrs, to decisions, to business owners, etc…), the eco-system created, takes data stored in JIRA and makes it consumable in multiple formats (Pdfs, Google Sheets, Google Slides, Elastic Search). The end result are risk rating dashboards that represent reality (since they are interconnected with all the relevant data) and are easy to understand by business/management owners

• Understanding the threat lansdcape from shadow IT
• Delivering different MFA strategies for different user populations
• Using machine learning and adaptive authentication to reduce friction whist maintaining a secure environment

• Security in the cloud is – and always has been – a two-way street defined as the vendor being responsible for security ‘of’ the cloud – software and hardware – while the customer is responsible for security ‘in’ the cloud – data, OS, identity and access management, and so forth. So why do companies still struggle?
• Which stakeholders throughout the business and beyond have to take responsibility for cloud security, and what education and training is required?
• How do consumers fit into all this?
• Discussing effective strategies for sharing this responsibility effectively from Enterprise.

• • Moving in the cloud with office 365 – benefits and pitfalls
  • Continue best practice in the cloud in regards to security
  • Customer case: why we moved to 365 and what we found out we needed before going into the clouded future

• What CASBs do and how they differ from more traditional cloud security solutions
• How CASBs help with shadow IT policies and rising employee use of cloud apps
• Combining visibility, compliance, data security and threat protection

• How are cyber criminals currently targeting businesses?
• What is law enforcement doing to tackle the threat?
• How can Law Enforcement and business work together more effectively?

False positives or ‘innocent anomalies’ are a huge distraction for over-stretched security teams who would be better off investigating genuine malicious activity. Join David Atkinson, Founder and CEO of Senseon as he shares insight into his unique AI approach that gathers context and triangulates threats across the entire digital estate. Find out how Senseon automates investigation, reduces false positives and simplifies the security stack to save you time and precious resource.

• What role white and grey hat hackers can play in developing secure systems?
• Discussing the challenges and opportunities in this field
• Real life examples from enterprise of how pen testing and ethical hackers are improving their organisations cyber security.

A few years ago cyber wasn’t even mentioned when considering major risks facing businesses. Fast forward a few years and cyber risk is now recognised as one of the biggest perils facing any organisation and many IT professionals now find themselves solely responsible for this systemic risk.

Email spoofing, data breaches, whaling, phishing…the list goes on. How do you manage when your cyber risks increase but your budgets and resources don’t? In this exciting presentation, Andy will show you how you it is now possible to gain a simple understanding of the cyber risks that could affect your organisation and how to manage and mitigate these without spending huge amounts.

•  What is it and where is the value
•  Evolution of ‘pre-incident management’
•  The current state of technology tooling and platforms in this sector
•  Forging tooling and mitigations in an organisation
•  Prioritising efforts and resources
•  Future trends in this area

• How to ensure security enables the business
• Continuously delivering value and ensuring no / minimum wasted effort
• Closely aligning to business needs
• Not hiding behind SLAs

You don’t need to go to many Identity Management conferences to realise that Identity and Access Management projects are hard to implement and also that IAM is one of the least “technological” of the Security disciplines, with it being 10% technology and 90% business change.

The BBC is currently meeting the challenge of IAM transformation head on. As one of the 90% Ros Smith will explain the approach being taken, what has happened so far and where they are going next.

• Discussing the need for DevSecOps for your security team?
• Reconciling the goals and needs of your organisation with the ever shifting cyber security landscape.
• Barriers to security: lack of security ‘culture’ in your organisation, getting C level buy in.
• Examples of success from DevSecOps teams.

• Security shifting from an afterthought to critical, foundational and pervasive
• The importance of automation for embedding and scaling security expertise
• How governance models must be extended through the development and operations process to auditing and beyond
• Some of the key organisational obstacles you will meet – and how to address them
• The importance of tools and process, but how you will need culture and executive buy-in to succeed

Current secure device authentication and encryption technology has serious limitations in assuring the identity of a given device and its users.

ICMetrics, the electronic equivalent of biometrics is a novel, efficient and robust system for device authentication, based on deriving secure encryption keys from the properties of digital systems. This addresses a major area in the security domain, which is currently recognised as inhibiting the economic expansion of digital services at a time where there is a need for increasing security which is relevant to many sectors including mobile commerce, communication, smart devices and Internet of Things (IoT).

“A SERIES OF HIGH PROFILE, VERY DAMAGING ATTACKS ON COMPANIES HAS DEMONSTRATED THAT ATTACKERS HAVE BOTH THE INTENT AND ABILITY TO EXPLOIT VULNERABILITIES IN SUPPLY CHAIN SECURITY. THIS TREND IS REAL AND GROWING. SO, THE NEED TO ACT IS CLEAR.” – NATIONAL CYBER SECURITY CENTRE (NCSC)

Supply chain risk challenges nearly all businesses, and whether you’re a SMB supplier or the enterprise buyer, you need to understand and mitigate cyber risks. Yet, despite enterprises spending millions on people and technology to fight cyber crime, cyber threats continue to travel down the supply chain. How do we protect and secure the entire supply chain when limited by systems observability, availability, and budget?

In this talk, Rob will discuss ways to defend the whole of the chain, bringing enterprise grade defences to the SMB supply chain. For the SMB, this mitigates your cyber risk and defends your business.

For the enterprise, this mitigates your supply chain cyber risk and defends your business.
